very cool cover imo

that's great

Interesting that it's not called "the return"

I have mixed feelings about seeing it explicitly referred to as "the third season" and not The Return. (xp!)

yeah me too, wtf? "The Return" as a title & theme seems essential to this series. but christ, can't complain about that turnaround. 3 months! i thought it would be a year at least

hilarious that it's THE THIRD SEASON on the blu-ray

lynch deflates everyone who was putting deep meaning into "the return" as a title

at least it's not THE FINAL SEASON

Well it was always just "Twin Peaks" in the credits.

Cover should have been nothing but a Jim Belushi close-up

tbf this quote from the president of Showtime did exactly that: "the core of [the series] is Agent Cooper's odyssey back to Twin Peaks"

It is the third season guys. More intrigued by "a time presents itself".

along with the importance of the number 8 & infinity & the eternal return. w/e this shits boring who cares xp

season 8 will explain all

Season 834, in which Audrey will dance the Infinity Waltz (∞ 3/4), is when all will be revealed

The Infinity Waltz is my favorite Porcupine Tree album

The blu-ray should have had a Captain America: Civil War-esque cover w/ various characters facing off:
Freddie/Bob
Dougie/Mr. C
Audrey/Charlie
Drunk/Chad
Jerry/his foot

Weird so many people still think there will be a fourth season. Best thing about the finale is that it slammed the door shut on any possibility of continuing the series. He pretty much burned that whole universe to the ground.

lol @ Jerry/his foot

and his killer binoculars

Happened to run across these photos today, it's from 2014. Trump et al. Golden shovels. Jerry's anti-gov ranting. Could it be?

omg

Seems a cert tbh

the golden shovel thing is a 'breaking ground' thing, not specific to trump but yeah, still

It is the third season guys. More intrigued by "a time presents itself".

That's something that the log lady says in part 2: "the stars turn and a time presents itself". It was used as the description for that ep and the title of the first version of this thread comes from this

I'd missed the last bit, thanks. (though I just realised I've gone through the whole of TR without knowing any of the episode descriptions)

they're just lines from each episode and on the whole don't actually illuminate anything and in some cases sound more important than they wound up being

I had a tangential connection to the marketing of the show here and Showtime were adamant that it was not to be referred to as a "season" in any marketing materials. Also you had to call them "parts" rather than episodes.

It may have something to do w/ CBS Entertainment releasing the blu-ray set. Their rights to the previous seasons might be structured differently than Showtime's.

Which is fun because it's infighting: CBS Entertainment and Showtime are both owned by the CBS Corporation

Maybe kinda lame but my first thought when I saw that cover was of my friends who are gonna watch it on DVD (& are so far 100% unspoiled) losing some of the impact of that first appearance of Mr C. I'm actually hoping the menus don't give the game away regarding stuff like the sweeping, Wally Brando &c and they just stick to shots of trees and stuff.

isn't Mr. C in the first episode?

Ha, I like that the scene of a dude slowly sweeping up cigarette butts on the roadhouse floor ranks as a major spoiler.

xp

Yes xp

I need to rewatch the pure joy of the Wally Brando scene

I was grateful that Lucy mentioned him again at the end, in front of Mr. C

I'm pleased that the blu-ray cover satisfies the mullet hairstyle definition: business at the front, party at the back.

well this is gonna be a fun xmas present to give

If anything I would say it multiplied the possibilities.

infinite peaks

the lodgers ep that was talking about the asynchronicities in the show made me think: am i crazy or did david lynch say before the season started that you would be able to watch the episodes in any order? that kind of seems like b.s. but now i really want someone to watch the season with the episodes (or ideally scenes) in random order and report back

He kinda half-suggested it but not really tbh

He even suggests, with a smile, that the best approach may be to view the parts out of order. “You know, the projectionist once in awhile would make a mistake and put reel four before reel two or something,” he says. “People still made sense of it.”

Cue dozens of clickbait articles These Are David Lynch's Completely Serious Instructions On How You Should Watch Twin Peaks

is this future, or...

for anyone not wanting to click into the Ebert article

If you are old enough, you will recall this phrase when you went to the movies in the 1950s. That was when during the double-feature era before 1960, movie theatres did not list show times in newspapers. If they did, few paid attention to them. You just showed up and entered the dark theatre while one of the movies was playing. You would wait a few seconds for your eyes to adjust to the dark and then shuffle to empty seats. A few hours later came that memorable moment when you or one of your companions would nudge the others and say, "This is where we came in." Then you'd shuffle out.

This was common. You were not the only ones. It was an ingrained habit to arrive at any old time. Others who came in at some other time did the same thing. People were continuously entering and leaving the theatre. How could we understand the movie's plot while watching it beginning at some scene in the middle on to the end, and then from the beginning to the middle? It now seems crazy but our brains seemed to do mental splicing that did not require much effort. But we really lost something in the experience. When you saw the ending prior to the beginning, you did not gain from the introductory set up of the plot and the characters.

xp get any and/or all signed, I would say

I CAN ONLY BRING ONE THING
