In a way s3 anchored all Lynch's work into the same world. Somehow Eraserhead, Lost Highway even Inland Empire seem to exist within Peaks logical framework now.

His Dark Tower

I’m on the Find Laura theory train.

It offers a pretty compelling argument for the show. Is there some confirmation bias and stretch yeah, but it does seem to have some good explanations to the mysteries of primarily The Return.

I also bought the Wrapped in Plastic Selected Essays book that will be a companion piece during my rewatch that I’ve begun

tbh I have a strong suspicion that Lynch was neurodivergent, def got super autistic traits like the near insane obsession w routine, eating the literal exact same thing every day etc, but AD(H)D would also really check out just alone for the link w creativity and thinking outside the box - even the obsession with meditation which is one of the better ways to calm your mind w adhd. to be able to be high performing w adhd you have to compensate with very rigid routines also, which would display as autistic.

Dale Cooper for sure also displays suuper autistic traits. and ofc the character is a classic example of a director stand-in, down to the way he talks it's modelled after Lynch. a lot of his behaviour is honestly textbook for highly-functional, well masked or compensated neurodivergence. strong sense of justice, brilliant at solving riddles but despite his intelligence sometimes suddenly befuddled by simple social situations or generally acting like an alien, like he's completely in his own world. that kind of dreaminess but then also hyperfocus when it comes to the work he cares for would clock w adhd for sure. especially bc the autistic traits are still relatively subtle and a lot of it is more like quirky I'd say it's again pointing most strongly towards adhd.

I just rewatched the original run for the first time since getting diagnosed w ADHD myself and deep-diving into neurodivergence in general the past 2 years and I've just been noticing how often in my life I've been drawn to other people or media in which I recognize neurodivergent traits without even realizing it. you ofc can't diagnose people from afar and especially postmortem but it's very interesting for me, I have a high awareness for it now and it's a very interesting lens to study media with, especially when it comes to portrayal's before it was a widely understood thing.

just finished the return for the third time (it was my partners first time watching)

i had to rewatch the last two episodes. the way the last episode mirrors the first is so interesting the arm asking is it about the little girl down the lane is stuck in my brain

do we think that judy is in the house?

why did phillip ask “is this what you asked?” when the ord was floating inside the 8?

i have so many thoughts. thank you lynch for everything

253 the number of completion adding up to 10

yet , the crack head mom in the beginning of the season was adding up 1 1 9 …

bc she repeats it it's like 911 tho no? I always read it as just a cry for help tbh

she says it backwards ( 1 1 9)

it absolutely could be a cry for help

i never know when im thinking too hard about these things…

today is the 35th anniversary of twin peaks pilot airing on ABC

really cool article about the show: vanityfair.com/hollywood/story/as-twin-peaks-turns-35-the-mystery-is-still-the-message

the myth of david lynch leaving during season 2 to make wild at heart has been debunked

he left during season 1

apparently he signed off on everything that happened in s2 which isn't surprising but some people still believe lynch had nothing to do with all that

7 episodes of The Return completed. I’m hearing Episode 8 is one for the ages. This revival hasn’t missed ONCE yet for me.

You’re about to see something else

Omg MUBI got streaming rights to the whole series including The Return

just remembered this show returned 8 years ago today

Inside David Lynch’s plans for ‘Twin Peaks’ to return: “We had a recipe forming”

nme.com/features/tv-interviews/twin-peaks-david-lynch-mark-frost-david-bowie-3868414

don't think there's a way to bring Twin Peaks back without David tbh. even the tie-in books that Mark wrote without him kind of suck ngl

but also S3 is kind of a perfect ending. still open-ended and leaving lots of questions but very satisfying

Agreed. I’d rather he just publish whatever story notes they had.

I agree. I think TP fans want to know what they could have been dreaming up. You also don’t have to incorporate it into the canon if Frost just releases some idea notes.

i'd never ever in a million years want twin peaks without david

just watched s3e8

Never has an episode completely reset what a viewer thinks about a show like Part 8.

that was f***ing insane man. loved every minute of it

Just started this again. I only finished season 1.
