Twin Peaks to return?

That is certainly a crazy proposal he has there. I wonder how it would even be done. Would it try to be a direct continuation or would they concede the fact it's been 20 years and just set it in the same town?

Also, I'll believe it when I see it.

This may be sacriligious to say in the Bush forum, but if this does get off the ground, I'm glad David Lynch is not gonna be involved. Guy seems like a pretentious t***.


Granted, Twin Peaks (from what I've seen) is good, and The Straight Story was great, aside from the novelty of Lynch doing it, and The Elephant Man was good, and....



Well, okay, MOST of his films are good. But something about him just rubs me the wrong way. Like he's just being weird for the sake of being weird.


But like I have room to talk.


Please don't unfriend me, Nixon.

Inland Empire certainly will test how faithful someone is to Lynch as a fan.

If you didn't see and love Blue Velvet then I have no business with you, sir.

Okay, next go into a government building and run around shouting "Death to America."

The who what?

Dude, I don't give a **** if you don't like David Lynch.

I don't like all of his stuff either. But I do enjoy this show.

I don't think it's a good idea to re-visit this now. They could make it work with the whole "he's been trapped for years" thing, but I doubt it.

Eh, it won't hurt anything to try. I'm skeptical of Lynch's non-involvement, but if they can get enough of the original cast and writing staff back, it could be an interesting experiment.

Re: Twin Peaks to return?

It could hurt, if it diminishes the original series in any way. I expected a full return, a whole new series. But this is a half-baked plan from one actor to make 5 minute webisodes. We saw how well that worked for "The Critic."

Can anyone re-establish let alone maintain the unique writing and surreal visual aspects that made this show interesting? It was magic, and it happened because everything came together at that time.

If the full cast and crew were actually involved, I'd be more excited. But so far this is merely a pipe dream.

Re: Twin Peaks to return?

I dunno, the original series is already in the can and can never be diminished, IMO.

Re: Twin Peaks to return?

As long as they are using what's been previously established as a base for this new stuff, then there's a real chance they'll try to ret-con it or change what happened in the series to fit a new storyline.

If a remake is being worked on by anyone aside from the original cast, then that's pretty much a given.

Re: Twin Peaks to return?

I guess I'm just of a mind that as long as the original is good on its own, no amount of retconning or ****ty new developments can take that away. I may hate the last two seasons of Buffy, but that doesn't make what came before it any less good.

[Nixon]

Re: Twin Peaks to return?

Yeah, but that ****ty stuff is still canon, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. And it can have the added bonus of giving new fans and outside viewers a bad first impression.

It's been too long. I kinda wish they'd just let it die.
