is that good or bad

I think that's very good in terms of the viewership of today.

I'm picturing Gordon yelling, "These are some good numbers, Tammy!"

it's not bad from what I know, but I also could not give less of a shit either way, can't imagine there'll be more episodes after this in any case

don't really see this as competition with GoT which I would think has a totally different (and stupider) audience

just gettin some ad homs in for laffs there

haha

Seems like Showtime is genuinely pleased, so good enough.

I mean on the off chance they greenlight On the Air: The Return.

oh yeah game of thrones that reminds me

sky atlantic is gonna simulcast it which means they're not gonna simulcast twin peaks any more, it's gonna be on at 3am instead of 2am :-(

(still gonna watch it then obv)

I'm on the hook for a GoT viewing at my neighbors' sunday night which means I have to ask my Twin Peaks team to postpone to Monday night

I do not prefer this, needless to say

I did not realize GoT was going to be airing at the same time as TP. That seems unnecessarily prickish of HBO.

Andy and Lucy are really reminiscent of something about the French clowning tradition. On the Air had a lot of the same feel to it, too. Can't put my finger on it--the way they're "funny" instead of actually being funny.

shrug, nobody watches tp live anyway as documented above so whatever

xp

Was struck by how much they are literally clowns. Andy's paunch is part of the costume, but if you slapped the make up on them you wouldn't have to change their behavior one bit. xpost

why would Showtime's competition be concerned anyway? GoT is a juggernaut, i doubt HBO's much concerned about what else happens to be airing at the time.

xpsss

I did not realize GoT was going to be airing at the same time as TP. That seems unnecessarily prickish of HBO.

pretty sure they're airing it at the same time as the last 6 seasons.

my plan is to watch GoT and then TP, in that order, on sunday nights. it's really hard to do the other way around.

What shows before TP Sundays on Showtime?

the previous week's tp, by the look of it

also looks like they're changing the time - starting in august it'll be on an hour earlier. 8pm there, 1am here

TP is the first show in ages that I've made the effort to watch as its airing.

This is a great observation. I was trying to think of what was so weird and creepy about goaz's performance here, I think you nailed it. I normally love the a&l scenes in the return but where I think it loses something in this mode is when they go for tenderness. the way he like air-nuzzles her gives me the willies

I kind of assume my watching doesn't count as "live" even though I usually sit down within 20 minutes of airtime and watch it on demand. I think I've watched the live broadcast once.

i have found Andy's body to be really unheimlich this season tbh

the proportion of the arms to the whole is unright

do we have any off-the-set pictures of how he has his hair normally? it seems a little exaggerated, too

omg amazing

Starting to think this show is going to end with Cooper deciding whether he wants to return to his old life or keep Dougie's

I'm wondering if at some point we're gonna get Booper and Dougie in the same scene together tbh

Dougie's gone, man

Mr. C and empty Cooper would be interesting, I kind of want Cooper to attack the doppelganger and squeeze his... head off?

yeah we've seen the last of dougie :-(

I think the two coops will meet and then something weird will happen

Sorry for stupid q, but is the thread title a pun on the way Cooper speaks as Dougie?

I'm gonna keep calling him Dougie as long as characters in the show do

it's the start of "drink full and descend" from the poem, I was trying to stick with the established thread title format

Ahh yeah, thanks. I just feel I can't keep up with all the references and quotes to remember, but console myself that my few fellow friends who are also watching are more or less the same. It's the ilx thread that puts so much (back) into place after every episode.

if you guys can't accept me calling him Dougie I could also go with Gooper

Dooper

although I think you should see which irritates NA more and we can run with that :)

booper is unquestionably a horrible coinage tbfttl

"...but ya doesn't has ta call me Cooper!"

I think gordon cole is channeling mr jackpots in that awkward bit of dialogue where denise says "you're on the trail of something big" and he dumbly echoes "big"

& speaking of awkward, I really wanna see more of this guy

I loved the bit where chad is arguing with the dispatcher and then it just pans to this deputy and just holds on his dreamy expression for several seconds

cool interview with Lillard re his scene in EP 9 http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/07/twin-peaks-matthew-lillard-interview

so the shooting scripts are definitely not episode-specific, not that they would be

I kind of wonder if a lot of the different pieces and how they fit together were pieced together in editing. I get the impression Lynch does that, just has different story elements, shoots them all, and then puts them together into his films.

xxxp it’s at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7AYnF5hOhuM

Be warned it’s 4.5 hours but I suppose many folks have time on their hands. I watched it at 1.5 speed over a few days. It’s a little self-satisfied but I was persuaded by a lot of it.

jesus fuck

why is it so long

what I made of it, sic, is Lynch being cruel to the fans. Audrey is probably institutionalized.

I guess I was right! though I don't give a shit about anything that wasn't on the teevee.

yeah I don’t care about anything in Frost’s books (Jennifer Lynch’s Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer is proper Twin Peaks though)

(and Frost should always be part of TV Peaks)

I agree, but the "explanatory" video has no truck with anything off-screen. I have no idea why it needs to be *quite* that long, but the presenter is anxious to demonstrate that every single thing in S1, S2 up to the reveal and final 2 eps, FWWM, Missing Pieces and S3 can be understood in that framework. I guess it's 40ish hours of material to cover. I was impressed, anyway.

i am intrigued, but i'll have to get over my natural distrust of a person who posted a 4.5 hour video on youtube

shoulda done about 20,000 posts instead

I have similar distrust of "what's up YouTube" narcissists but the ideas are worth sticking around for

Also to Simon's podcast partner who called Diane as Naido.

Thanks for listening :)

before the return came out i watched a 4+ hour video essay about peaks. lost in the movies' journey through twin peaks iirc? it was remarkable, and i think i was linked to it from here

guy who opens the TWIN PEAKS EXPLAINED video shouting "SPOILER ALERT" is a major dealbreaker

yeah no one can really rival Bocko's Peaks scholarship

I watched the first 15 minutes or so of that YouTube explainer video and I just could not stand the terrible Lynch impression the guy insists on slipping into every time he reads a quote.

BTW, The Lodgers was the best Twin Peaks podcast by far, y'all should team up again some time.

Bocko is good

Guy who made TWIN PEAKS EXPLAINED taking four hours to explain that one very very very very obvious lens through which to view twin peaks is the only one is, I’m guessing here, bad

y'all should team up again some time

We're thinking about it :)

do the works of Tati! :D

Felt good that I wasn’t alone upon my rewatch of the original run in thinking that Dick Tremayne is Wally Brando’s father.

The return of Dick Tremayne is definitely the ace up the sleeve for s4

Just know Ian Buchanan would be up for it. Me too; call me Chris Kraus, cause I love Dick

Look, I know he was the only character from the original series to get his own spin-off film, but I still feel like we haven't seen enough of Little Nicky.

well formed joke, thank you

You should license that one out to Megan.

I've thought about Run Silent Run Drapes every morning for years now (the blinds in my living room are really loud)

i feel she'd approve
