Dale’s love for minuscule, ordinary things that he enjoys like the smell of trees in Twin peaks and the taste of cherry pie or the coffee etc (the irony of him being a detective and paying attention to details like this) and his overall fascination with the town itself is so satisfying and interesting to watch. He’s by far my favourite character of the show and I just started watching it.

There are so many great shows (and mediocre shows) that only exist because of Twin Peaks. You can draw a straight line from Twin Peaks to Northern Exposure to The Sopranos, and from The Sopranos to dozens of other shows with edgy antiheros in quirky, outrageous situations (Breaking Bad). You can also draw a straight line from Twin Peaks to the glut of CSI shows (there were zero shows before Twin Peaks that focused so intently on forensics, crime scenes, etc). You can also draw a straight line from Twin Peaks to The X-Files to dozens of other shows (Supernatural, Fringe, The Killing, Lost, etc). Even now you have Big Sky on ABC, which is mostly a terrible show...but I keep finding myself watching it just for the echoes of Twin Peaks and trying to analyze what made Peaks so much better. (A few years ago Fox had "Wayward Pines", which was apparently based on a book series also--like Big Sky--yet clearly was trying to emulate Twin Peaks, and failing.)

It was'nt David Lynch's fault regarding season 2. He never wanted to spoil the mystery behind Laura and the television network hassled him into running things to their premature answers. Despite being genuinely brilliant, once the cat was let outta the bag after the first 7-9 episodes of season 2, Lynch was nowhere to be seen. He left , pissed off at what had happened and it was up to the writers to just come up with filler material around the Dale Cooper stuff. Cooper is always great no matter what he was doing in season 2,but the filler plots around him add and go nowhere. Then, for the final few episodes, things fall together again with the new story-and Lynch returns for the finale to blow your mind.

I am absolutely that guy. Or girl, as it were. Haven't watched Twin Perfect, but... This struck me while watching a video from What's So Great About That? on David Lynch and the defamiliarization of language: he is almost definitely working from psychoanalytic theory. The thing with language and the symbolic is very psychoanalytic, AND he's fond of using doubles, whether that be clones, possession, identical cousins, different versions of the same characters in different realities... Which, use of doubles is a technique often used to get into ideas about the split between the real and the symbolic. That would also explain why his work is so abstract: he's not so much about developing plots as he is about exploring the subconscious. ...You know, that may also have to do with why he focuses on the supernatural, magic. Because superstition is the realm of the unconscious; ideas about "bad luck" have sway on us even when we don't logically believe in them. So in that sense, it's real. Cooper relies on his intuition, and... I dunno, I feel like it's getting into this idea that we often pick up on things we're not even consciously aware of. Which kind of reminds me of that one scene in Fargo. You know, the one so many people hate where Marge talks to what's his face, the Japanese guy. People think that scene is pointless, but it absolutely isn't! The point is, she sensed that something was off, but had no logical reason to think so. When it turned out her gut was right, she rethought her earlier suspicions about the murder. Also! Now that I think about it, relying on dreams and coincidence, that's also getting into Jung's ideas of collective unconscious and synchronicity, innit?! Wow, I never thought of that before! ...I dunno, I majored in English; this shit fascinates me.

@@Hakajin wow thanks for mentioning the video, i love that shit too, i'm definitely gonna check it out! i guess trying to explain lynch's plots from a tradicional point of view might sound pretentious, maybe precisely because david doesn't conform tradicional rules in storytelling, so it often comes off as someone trying too hard to piece every piece together, just for the sake of finding out the "truth". and yet, there's plenty to be talked about and somewhat ""explain"" about his works, particularly when it comes to method and and its effects on how the audience might take the story. i'd say the core of his works it's how it highlights the oniric logic (idk what else to call it lol) - the difficult-to-grasp connection between elements that only our own sleeping mind seems to understand as somehow related. which you have pointed out nicely in your comment when focusing on symbolic and abstraction!

You should really read the The Secret History of Twin Peaks and The Final Dossier by Mark Frost. On one hand it feels weird because the books try really hard to connect some of the dots that the show never really touches on, but it almost feels poetic in a sense because the books represent the other side of the coin. On one side you have the surrealism of David Lynch, on the other you have the narrative coherence of Mark Frost, to me it's how different the two of them really are that gives this show and the universe it creates that unparalleled uniqueness

I really want to like the return, but it just isn't for me. I absolutely loved the first 2 seasons, all of them (haven't even noticed the "bad" half of season 2 until people pointed it out). Season 3 though... On my first try, I gave up after three episodes. I tried again a year later, made it to around episode 12 (I think), but couldn't go any further. It feels so tedious to watch, all the charm of the original is gone and replaced with five-minute-long shots of people walking or sitting in silence. I mean even the music is gone... I don't know, maybe I am just the wrong person for season 3. Maybe it's because I haven't watched Fire Walk With Me (I didn't know about it), maybe it clears it up. Still, I am not saying it's objectively bad, just that to me it felt like I wasted hours of my life with absolutely no payoff.

Twin Peaks is honestly my favourite series of all time. There's just this feeling that accompanies the original series that's just so indescribable. It feels like warmth but it's more than that. It makes you uncomfortable at times but you know things will be okay when you get back to the heart of the other characters. Then The Return just throws that away, and there's something so haunting and beautiful about the atmosphere of the show but it feels somewhat empty. It doesn't have the same feeling the original series held, it feels cold and more brutal. The Return is one of David Lynch's best works, and it's a great continuation of the series, but it doesn't feel like the same Twin Peaks, and it works in perfect contrast with the original series.

I think also Karsten, taking your time with Twin Peaks is the best way to enjoy the show. It's a slow burn that really requires your full attention and to just allow yourself to 'feel' it, and also with its presentation I think it's a show much more enjoyable with discussion and really immersing yourself within the world of Twin Peaks, it's best NOT as a binge. Lynch is my personal favorite director, everything that he has created I've found so much joy, horror and creativity that is unmatched. I think you have done an exellent job describing the fact that Lynch's films are an experience that you FEEL instead of trying to 100% understand, and also somethin worth disscusing. Lynch, himself, seems to really value the social/community/realtionship building that comes from viewing art of all types. Thank ya Karsten!

I find, as I dig more into Lynch’s work, that it never really seems to be as inexplicable as most people make it out to be. Eraserhead, for example, immediately came off to me as Lynch’s way of confronting his fear of taking responsibility, symbolized in the immense vulnerability of a baby born into a harsh industrial world, and Twin Peaks is the result of how he grounds his intuitively emotional depictions of surreality by couching it in the tropes of soap operas and crime dramas, which is doubly effective now when we can contrast its warm, nostalgic saturation with The Return’s cooler, desaturated palette. Furthermore, the use of electricity and lights to convey a spirit’s presence in a scene reflects how love/good and hate/evil are like energy, in that they cannot be created or transformed, but rather they can only be reshaped or transferred from vessel to vessel, and when we as people struggle to entrust with our true feelings, we exert that energy by turning away instead of dealing with it, putting it towards silent drape runners, hard drugs, or even a curious obsession with Marlon Brando. And lastly, I think Fire Walk With Me being a prequel was a terrific move, because all we really see of Laura in the first run of the show is that picture of her, that single angle of her best traits that all the characters cling to, because facing her darker side is far too overwhelming; thus, Lynch thrusts us directly into her horrifying position, reminding us that no one picture can truly capture a person. TL;DR: Karsten is right, Twin Peaks rules, I like coffee.

I like Twin Peaks a lot but it really suffers from being too ahead of its time. There's a real tension between the more artistic, Lynchian side and the compromises they had to make for syndication, the most egregious example being the reveal of Laura's killer, that alone completely alters almost everything following it and I think it's really obvious they didn't want to when you watch The Return and notice how totally inconsequentially it's treated. It really falls apart at certain points, especially mid-season 2 where it just sort of meanders a lot.

Makes it all the more tragic.

It's a distinct pleasure when I hear feedback about Twin Peaks that is nearly identical to how I feel about the show. I think I must have nodded a couple of dozen times while watching this video. On the surface the series is a mystery, but more importantly at its core it's an emotional and satisfying experience that draws us in like wide eyed sailors to the siren song. The whole mystery almost seems to become unimportant as we are engrossed in this town and the lives of its people. There's so much that appeals to the viewer, especially in trivial and small details like diner pie or a kid's birthday hat placed on a catatonic brute; and so many styles of cinema are poured into the mixing bowl to create something special-- TP is crime drama, film noir, soap opera, supernatural thriller, comedy, romance, coming of age, and whodunit. The prequel film just does not appeal to me. It seems so different from the ABC-TV program. "Fire Walk with Me" felt unnecessary. I choose to ignore it. That's not my Twin Peaks, not at all. I initially watched seasons 1 and 2 on the Bravo network when they began airing it, and I recorded it all on VHS tapes. Those tapes were watched again and again. As you experience the show you get the feeling that perhaps Lynch and Frost really had no official bible or plot outline; but imagine the show if there had been a really solid plan created ahead of time. Granted, people have argued that as soon as you reveal Laura's killer (no matter who or what that is), the show loses its hook and will die. I don't know if that's true. I don't even know if they could have left the murder unresolved and slowly delved more deeply into other stories. But overall Twin Peaks was a delightfully weird and sweet and spooky entertainment, something more than worthwhile. Thanks for a very enjoyable video. I especially enjoyed the mention of how much love is peppered throughout the show, be it between two people or the love that a character has for food, or a concept, or truth, or silent drape runners ... really good insight there.

I thought it'd be in an improvement, but instead felt relentlessly dour and unpleasant... it turns out the sillier, upbeat and comedic moments in the show were really needed to help balance out the darker more serious stuff

Twin peaks is great for two seasons. David Lynch’s problem is that he is arrogant and can’t get out of his own way. He thinks of himself as a complicated artist that people just don’t understand instead of just naturally being one. He purposefully makes things overly complicated and tries to use confusing symbolism to show how deep and complicated and misunderstood he is but in reality it always just ruins a good thing. Season 1 was great and season 2 got worse the more Lynch started being Lynch which frustrated Frost because he purposely overcomplicated a good thing and made it convoluted. The showtime finale episodes or “parts” was an absolute circus maze David Lynch shit show and he takes all the enjoyment out of the story because he makes a good thing a chore to watch “weird” or “different”. He ruined Twin Peaks lol I also don’t know who is or has ever tried to emulate Lynch and failed. When she was not a very popular Director or storyteller outside of very niche fandoms.
