After watching FWWM, watch The Missing Pieces before The Return.

What can you say about that episode. How someone is able to weave such emotion through the last scenes is unbelievable. The music really hits home the hopelessness Cooper feels, the facial expressions the acting, and the contrast of the disturbing violence that preceded it. It really is art and one of the most powerful scenes ever witnessed

I see Briggs as a very spiritually aware character. It's not immediately revealed to us; but he's clearly been on a long spiritual journey (likely because of his job) and he's learned some secrets regarding the nature of reality. He's seen things the regular folk of Twin Peaks haven't. (At the end of the day everything in this world boils down to either fear or love - and Briggs practices unconditional love. Just my personal take.)

"kind and caring is so uncharacteristic for a man, especially a man in the '90s." So, you think 50% of humanity has changed in the last 25 years?! Are you aware there are just as many women with personality disorders as men? (It's really 50/50.)

Wooly hat and coat indoors in summer. No wonder you are sweaty.

I first watched Twin Peaks on Netflix. Was really enjoying it, but started quickly losing interest midway through season 2. Lynch's absence was felt and certain subplots (especially you, James subplot!) had me checking out. A few months or so later, I hear about season 3 being made. Naturally, this made me want to go back and finish season 2 and Jesus H. Christ I'm glad I did! The S2 finale was a banger and Twin Peaks: The Return is easily one of my favorite tv series of all time. Here's to hoping that Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me doesn't break you. It's a rough watch, even for its fans.

When you watch FWWM, you'll be seeing my high school! (Snohomish High School is where they filmed.)

I've always thought that SOMETIMES the Red Room is the Black Lodge. Sometimes it's just the "waiting room" which I've considered to be between the two Lodges as well. And Cooper doesn't get into the full Black Lodge until after the dwarf says "Fire walk with me." ...But I could be way off. :D

Dude we are totally on the same wavelength especially on your favourite scenes, pretty much exactly the same as mine, that Llama scene 😂. I would shout out the Sycamore Trees scene too, gets me every time🔥

You would have seen much more of the log lady if you watched the episodes with the log lady intros.

I wasn't ready for open-eyed Laura

You shiould do a review of the music of Twin Peaks...Especialy the tracks "Falling" by Julie Cruise and "Sycamore Tree" sung by Jimmy Scott.

I remember when it first finished, obviously we knew it had been cancelled, but we could help hoping, hope against hope, that something might happen to bring it back. And then we heard there was going to a movie the obvious expectation was that that would wrap things up (fat chance!) My feeling was that in any putative conclusion Major Briggs would have to take over as main character. I assumed evil Coop would be out there somewhere, but lying low for a while (to increase tension). But Major Briggs would have to marshal all his formidable talents, to penetrate the Black Lodge and rescue the good Coop. Of course actually things went very different.

David Lynch and Mark Frost co-wrote the entirety of season 3, and Lynch directed all episodes and calls it an 18-hour long movie. If you go into it thinking of it in terms of it being a one long movie rather than 18 episodes of a tv show, it helps. What does it help? Yes.

Great video! From here I'd approach things keeping in mind that Laura Palmer's killer was never meant to be revealed (until maybe the final episode) and that Lynch and Frost were forced to end the central mystery prematurely...

I stumbled across a 4+hr video on YT where they present a theory about the meaning behind Twin Peaks. It was so interesting that I watched the whole thing in one sitting. After having watched it I felt like I have to watch the whole show again with that theory in mind and see if it feels like it would fit. So much watching to do and so little time. 😅😂

I really liked how Bobby also evolved from a quite one dimensional character to someone with more depth. I love the interactions between him and Major Briggs and how Bobbys demeanor towards him changes through the show. Albert is one of my all time favourite characters. Miguel Ferrer was truly an awesome actor. He excelled at playing slease bags like his roles in Stephen Kings "The Stand" and "Night Flier".

Wow Reel food wow, Fire walk with me

Fun fact.. In Michael Jacksons Smooth Criminal, the line 'Annie are you OK?' is in reference to Twin Peaks.

Curiosamente El hijo del director de este capítulo ‘Jake’ se leyó el diario secreto de Laura palmer, hay una imagen curiosa donde está leyendo el libro. Tal vez sea muy Fan Nose muy bien.

Me encanta este capítulo y su final con la mano de Bob y el reflejo de la habitación roja por cierto hizo buen trabajo en la dirección el papá de los actores Jake y maggie gyllenhaal.

Briggs is my #1, easily. Can't wait for you to enjoy The Return... 😂

Bobby rebelling against his ridiculously supportive parents was one of the delights of s1-s2

Watching Twin Peaks through your eyes is the gift that keeps on giving. I can imagine the people in your life bestow a gratitude to the way your energy and personality light up their lives

Dale is my number one and then Audrey and Leland. I don’t mind James as a character, but I think the episodes that were centered around him were incredibly uininteresting. My least favourite character is Josie.

I called your Top 5 except forgot about Major Briggs, and thought you would choose Log Lady! My top 10: Sarah (I'm obsessed with her), Leland, Dale, Nadine, Log Lady, Audrey, Briggs, Donna, Catherine, and then all the elementals (the Tremonts, Bob, Little Man, Giant, Coffee Man, Mike). In a lot of ways, I lock in to an ACTOR and become obsessed with their character. Piper-Laurie, Laura Flynn-Boyle when she was young, Grace Zabrieske, Catherine Coulson, Kyle McLaughlin.... a lot has to do with the actors. With this show, the rest has to do with LYNCH. The Lodge, the elementals, the goofiness of Andy/Lucy, Super Nadine, etc. The MUSIC. Without Badalamenti, Twin Peaks just wouldn't have worked. His music is almost its own character. You might have missed this, but Doc Hayward was there in the very final scene of Season 2, tending to Dale. So, he wasn't in jail/prison. Can't wait for FWWM/The Return/Other Lynch/etc.

my spirit is YEARNING for your video reaction of Fire Walk With Me

Andy?

Re: BOB - The most unintentionally creepy commercial in Sweden in the 90’s (or 2000’s? I’m getting old…) was for a brand of juice named BOB. Their slogan was ”BOB finns där barn finns”, translating to ”BOB exists where children exist”. 😮

I find it curious that most of this talked about the characters. This I suppose is understandable as we see our lives as an interaction between characters. Characters we love and characters we hate. We tend to focus on the struggle between them, even within our own lives. But Mr. Lynch tries to get us to go beyond that. To see the system behind it all. I think most people can't or refuse to do this. The dance of characters is what fascinates them. Throughout this series I have emphasized that this series is VERY meta. The whole point of the show is to be painfully self-aware. The question that David Lynch insists on asking is, why is the way TV works, what is the expectation by the audience and why is that what they expect? David Lynch is always asking us to go beyond what's on the screen. We accept this when he does it in a movie, but we refuse to do it when he does TV. In all of David Lynch's work, but ESPECIALLY here in Twin Peaks, the main character is the audience itself, and yet that's the character we act as though doesn't exist. Why do we do that? Actually, with Twin Peaks, DO NOT, go with the flow. It's trying to awaken you to a wider perspective. David Lynch wants to think and ask questions. He is not there to spoon feed answers to you (like creamed corn) he's there to challenge us.

Can't wait for the FWWM reaction!

🖤🔥♥️🔥🖤

Thank you. That was all so interesting and entertaining!

I'm so excited for the film and The Return. I love both more than the original 2 seasons. Both the film and season 3 are controversial or have been at one point. Some people hate or hated it, but an equal amount of people like me prefer it. I'm curious to see how you will feel about it.

People call it that, but technically *The Return* is not season 3. S. 3 was never made, and DL does not refer to it as S. 3.

Season 3 is the Lynchiest That Lynch has ever Lynched in such a wonderful way

Maddy: she was terrified because she saw Bob coming for her, and she had a vision of him before ( end of "Just You and I" scene ). Sarah was drugged.

Funny that we have the complete opposite feelings about Nadine. She's also one of my favorite characters but I LOVE her in season one and find her character less and less appealing as she goes along (until we get to the scene in the season 2 finale which is incredible and heartbreaking). But I agree that Wendy Robie gives a 110% performance no matter where the character goes. I think I may have mentioned it before but her and the actor that plays Big Ed are a couple in Wes Craven's The People Under The Stairs and they are both spectacular in it. Highly recommended. Season 2 episode 7 is also my favorite episode of the show (including The Return), I'll never recover from Maddy's death scene and then that beautiful scene at the roadhouse where everyone is breaking down without realizing why they're doing so. My second favorite has to be the third episode. From the opening scene of Ben and Jerry talking to each other while devouring the baguettes like they're cartoon characters to Cooper's dream closing out the episode, there's not a single scene that I don't think about all of the time. Probably the episode that I come back to the most just because it's so much fun. Third favorite would be the pilot. The fact that it was shot on location instead of in California like the rest of the OG series gives it an atmosphere and look that is never recaptured, and also as much as I love how convoluted and weird Twin Peaks is there's something about this simpler version of the show that always captivates me. I love that the first half of the running time is just spent watching all of these characters react to the death of someone we never met and it's all so damn moving. People can knock Donna and James all they want but the first thing that I think of when I think of Twin Peaks is that scene in the classroom where they realize that something's happened to Laura. And I love the announcement from the principal, his speech is so moving and beautiful and he plays that moment so well that every time I watch the pilot I completely forget that he never shows ups again in the series. I won't go any further into my favorite episodes because then it starts getting into The Return and obviously spoilers. Can't wait for the FWWM reaction. Hopefully you survived it, but I guess the good thing is that you no longer have to be worried about being traumatized by Maddy's death since now you have the trauma of everything in FWWM. Hooray? Also I'm only now realizing that you've got a Gremlins 2 poster on the wall! Excellent choice!

That scene with Major Briggs and Bobby made me tear up

Nadine used to get on my nerves but your enjoyment of Nadine's antics rubbed off on me and now I laugh and enjoy that character as much as you do!

❤great recap! The movie hits hard but it’s a masterpiece in the end! Hope you have as much fun with season 3! I know I did but I still need to watch it a million times to get those little details just like in season 1 & 2! So my comments should be shorter!😅 see you in the next one!

Frank Silva ( Bob ) - actually he had been taking some acting lessons, so he had the interest ( he sadly passed in '95 from AIDS ). Many of the people who worked with him (including Sheryl Lee and Ray Wise, who both played victims of his character) recalled that he was very kind and good-natured off camera. DL had these special moments of finding the right people who were either not actors, or who were unknown actors who had the stuff ( exceptions are Richard Beymer ( Ben ) West Side Story movie, Russ Tamblyn ( Jacoby ) horror classic "The Haunting" 1963, Michael Parks ( Jean Renault ) who had starred in a tv show called "Then Came Bronson" '69-'70, and Piper Laurie ( Catherine ) most well known for her roles in the films The Hustler (1961), Carrie (1976), and Children of a Lesser God (1986) ). You can meet young Pete ( not literally, Jack Nance) in DL's "Eraserhead." Back when DL was working on that film, Jack & Catherine Coulson ( Log Lady, an idea DL came up with back then ) were married and yes she helped with the film.

Hey, if you love Major Briggs. I’d recommend watching the Stargate TV series. Same actor plays another Major(?) and he’s quite talented.

WOW BOB WOW, this was a fantastic wrap up ❤ Really interesting, as well, to hear about your creative processes for putting the incredible intros together! I'm beside myself with excitement about your FWWM reaction 🔥

Can’t wait for your FWWM reaction. That’s a tough watch, but so worth it. Just fyi, Sheryl Lee and Gary Hershberger (Mike) teach acting/directing/creative workshops. You can also work with them privately, on the phone or in person. I’ve been working with both of them, mostly Sheryl, for about 5 years, and they are absolutely brilliant. Look up The Actor’s Director Workshop.

Just wanted to say, and I see someone else has brought it up here in the comments, check out the Log Lady episode introductions, I don't think they were a part of the show as it aired, another 15 to 20 minutes worth of her introducing the episodes, they are really cool.

I agree with you about Ray Wise, he should have won an Emmy award for Leland's death scene. If you'd like to see more of his acting I recommend the TV series "Reaper" which ran for just 31 episodes from 2007 to 2009. Ray plays The Devil himself and does so brilliantly. I also recommend Julee Cruise's 1st album "Floating Into the Night" with all songs written by David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti. It has 3 songs in common with the "Soundtrack from Twin Peaks" plus 'Rockin' Back Inside My Heart' and 'Mysteries of Love' from Lynch's film "Blue Velvet".

Cool review! There's a short 4 minute video on youtube where Angelo Badalamenti explains the making of Laura's Theme, I think you'd love it, very Lynch ^^

I'm so excited for season 3!!!!
