For sure I really want to watch it!
I'm sort of enjoying the stupor The Return has put me in. Can't stop thinking about the rad Twin Peaks ride I've been on.
Fuck. I ordered the Final Dossier as a Christmas gift for my brother already, knowing this I would've thrown it in too :(
Oh wait, it's out of stock right now, I don't feel too bad anymore.
I severely miss the feeling of not having new episodes each week and having no idea what to expect. And I miss the music each week too.
Fuck it was unbelievable.
Fuck it was unbelievable.
The season is enjoyable even knowing where it's going, in fact I would even say some aspects of it improve on rewatch when you know their ultimate pay-off/don't have expectations. But I do really miss having new episodes to watch, and that's a perfect way to word it; more than anything else I think I've experienced, I think starting an episode of Twin Peaks Season 3 and having no idea what to expect was unlike anything I've experienced before. Watching this series live was quite an experience.

Found out today that my girlfriend hadn't seen Fire Walk With Me yet, so I made sure we watched that when she was around today as I got her Season 3 for Christmas. She enjoyed it, but completely understood why it would have gotten booed at Cannes by people wanting some answers.
I agree with you on fan edits in general, but FWWM q2 fan edit...putting the missing pieces in the film where they would be...is the best way to watch it.
This is from a guy who very much enjoyed the theatrical release on many viewings...and who rarely promotes such things.
The fact that Lynch agreed to show the missing pieces means he probably wasn't too keen taking them out in the first place, but was probably worried about the reception of the lean cut as it was.
The fan edit is about as close to Season 3 tonally as you will get. The movie is richer with the missing pieces placed back together.
I can't remember if that line was only in the Missing Pieces, but that ended up being a pretty important part of S3, I think.
It's in both.

Hey, I'm a bit late with asking this here, but does the UK version of the season 3 bluray set include subs in any language other than english? I haven't bought mine yet because it technically hasn't released yet over here, and my mother could use the dutch subs if we ever end up watching it again, but I now remembered the season 1 and 2 release was the same everywhere.
If it's really english only as some sites indicate I just hope we get the nicer packaging here when it finally releases...

I generally don't buy disc sets of anything. But I kind of want to buy this for that episode alone.
Got the season 3 set for Christmas. I wasn't able to watch it when it aired so I marathoned it over the past few nights... I'm going to be mulling over what I just witnessed for a while.
Episode 8 is definitely the standout - it might be my favorite episode of the entire series.

Yeah ep 8 was incredible. It stands as some of the best stuff Lynch has ever filmed.
I watched the S3 Blu-ray last month. Looks beautiful for the most part, but some minor color banding pops up from time to time (e.g. Part 3) and there are weird digital artifacts in some scenes that I don't think were intentional (e.g. Part 14 woods scene). Still need to check out the special features. The special features seem to be "fly on the wall" kind of stuff, which is better than the usual "talking heads".

The LE with the sliding gimmick has gone out of print in the UK and was quickly replaced with a slipcase edition.

I see, that's unfortunate but the new one looks pretty good still. The first one was also a lot more expensive iirc, so that's a positive. Thanks!
So Lynch, Kyle and Laura Dern had breakfast this morning: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd1aF60FxjA/

Please don't do this to me, I still need to rewatch season 3 and hyping me for season 4 already would be too much right now!
I don't think a new season will happen. I'd be willing to bet a movie will happen instead. Lynch said that writing an 18 hour season/movie took him years and it would be a long time before a 4th season.
Along side that, a lot of the actors have been dying recently. If there was to be more, I think a movie with a much shorter runtime and turnaround is more likely.
This makes a bunch of sense actually. If it's a choice between a movie and nothing, I'll gladly take a movie
I honestly feel like Lynch, Frost and the rest of the team are entitled to a long break, even if that means we never see Cooper and Diane again.
Until I saw some of the special features on the blu-ray it hadn't necessarily occurred to me that this was such a monumental undertaking for Lynch. I mean I know it is often joked about but in many ways this really was an 18 hour movie, with all that entails for a writer-director-show runner.
I would so love to have a continuation of the mysteries that opened up in episode 18 and would adore new questions to go with them, but I'm finding myself more and more accepting that as time goes on this really may not happen again.

I for one am ready for Blue Velvet 2: Velvet Bluegaloo.
I can't see how that's much easier/cheaper to manufacture than the original version?

I've accepted the fact that another Twin Peaks production could never happen, but even if it's just a movie, I'm truly fine and glad with what we got.
I feel as though even if we get more, it will have a similar ending either way.
The ending of S3 at first gave me the typical reaction, but I love it so much now.
BUF posted a Twin Peaks effects reel. Sadly, it's almost entirely a collection of finalized shots from the show, but it does include a few interesting tidbits.
Lynch drew concept art of Fireman's mansion and his golden mind cloud:
And unrelated, but rad: Justin Weber, a Disney animator, made a short 1930s-style cartoon about a kettle (cue Coophead puns).

Man, I gotta watch Episode 8 again. And nice small animation!
I really like Lynch's style for drawings.

i finished the final dossier after lagging to read it for months. wasnt really much of a list of explanations since most of the stuff people suspected turned out true.
however the entire last part with briggs/philip jeffries/judy was nuts

Nuts in what way? I remember those chapters being rather uneventful, save for Frost's trademark ham-fisted attempts to wikify the show's mythology by linking it to pre-existing folklore.
So I don't put too much faith in this, but someone on reddit who claims to have worked on Season 3 in some unknown form claims that a secret 4th season was filmed alongside season 3, acting as a "Missing pieces"-esque "fill in the gaps" season.
Obviously take with a grain of salt, but if it is announced in May, I'd be very surprised.

Lynch and company did their best to hide Piper Laurie from the staff during Season 2 until her character's reveal as Mr. Tojamura. I could totally see him being crazy enough to hide another season entirely from the light until he felt it was time. I just don't think it's going to happen, and i'll be very surprised if this somehow ends up being true.
... wait a second, this dude might be onto something.
Season 2: 2 Season 3B: 3 + B (2) = 5 Season 3: 3 Season 1: 1 + 1 Movie: 1 = 2
2+3=5-2=3 DAVID LYNCH DIRECTING HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED
Here:
This post might be deleted so I don't want to put in too much detail that ends up going to waste.
Think of the new season as... like imagine the Season 2 opener and how those were Episodes 8a and 8b. Think of the 2018 season as Season 3b, at least in the chronology of how they are meant to be viewed (but not exactly in the chronology of the show. Think Secret History/prequel).
This season acts as a... man, it's hard to explain. I worked on Twin Peaks in a very, very small capacity and I can tell you that the reason Lynch is stressed in the behind-the-scenes is not just because of the show you saw, but because of the show you haven't seen yet (if you even get to, but more on that later)...
The last scene is and will be the What year scene. 3b will be shorter (last I heard it was 9 half-hours) and it will be more of a... fill in the blanks. Of the scenes I knew were shot specifically for 3B, there are more with Steven, and in the Red fucking Room. I was excited to see in the Final Dossier that Steven was rightly mentioned as having gone missing... I also mention this mostly because the additional scenes that Lynch ended up removing from the final "The Return", such as the ones shown in the DVD of the Fireman in the Red Room might definitely end up in the new one.
The reason 3B even exists is because... well, this is the hard part to explain. The reason Showtime keeps saying "the door is always open" and Frost and Lynch say neversaynever is because the deal between Showtime and the creators is a highly unique one. Season 3B has been shot and even "put together" but it won't be given a final shape until the decision is made that Twin Peaks needs more. Particularly, the critical reception AND finance is being measured. If the critics would've called it a mess, Season 3B would have been pulled out to fill in the blanks and do this highly inventive new thing of a surprise season drop. And if it wouldn't have been a financial hit, 3B would've been used to get more subscribers, and more importantly, new merch (there are some scenes that are fucking RIPE for possibilities, particularly more Agent Cooper scenes with a direct "comeback" vibe, triumphant like the "i AM the FBI" one). Though, I can honestly promise you, them being in the "actual" show would have taken away from it.
I'm writing this post only because I myself am not sure of whether 3B will immediately happen or not, given that there doesn't need to seem the need to pull this out. It might still see a release whenever. It IS like The Missing Pieces, except that it forms a narrative of its own, giving us the Richard and Carrie story more context at the start and ending it at a loop.
OH AND! This is the thing because of which I feel like this really should be a thing because it would bring the 253 mystery full circle.
Season 2: 2 Season 3B: 3 + B (2) = 5 Season 3: 3
EDIT: oh and the official announcement is supposed to be in May!!! I have a feeling that even if it doesn't happen then the creators will still come out to say it publicly that there was supposed to be one, so that if interest is generated it can be dug up like The Missing Pieces ten or whatever years from now.
EDIT: definitely not gonna comment on the storyline, because it's all better when it's all subjective.

This isn't the first time this rumour has appeared - wasn't there a photo of something from the set suggesting two seasons being filmed side by side?
That said... it doesn't seem very Lynch, does it? "Better shoot a secret season in case people don't understand the narrative"

It just made a lot of things connect for me, especially the Briggs/Jeffries pocket dimensions
From what I remember it wasn't shot in 4K, but somewhere around 3K. It would scale upwards fairly well to 4K, but since it's not truly 4K, they probably won't release it as such.
This has been the only place where I've read this crazy Season 3b thing, but I guess it says something about us when we don't fall for it like Kojima fans.
