I wouldn’t say it’s equivalent - one finger is still worse IMO.

That’s true, but also it suffers from the fact that they were forced to reveal the killer mid season, thus robbing the show of its core dramatic driver. For a while they just didn’t know what to do with the world they’d built.

Deep cut first reference from The Missing Pieces - nice 😁

Would strongly advise watching the movie before S3 (but after S1 and 2) to get the most out of the final season.

I don’t think that’s the message of the show at all tbh.

EDIT to add that there’s a TP community here on Lemmy. It’s quiet, but it’s a place folk on this thread might find both wonderful and strange…

At its frequent best, it’s the finest TV around. It had a very rocky spell in the second half of season 2, but the final episode of that season was a masterpiece.

I absolutely love Season 3 as well.

IMO though, the film, Fire Walk With Me is the absolute pinnacle of the world of Twin Peaks, and indeed of Lynch’s output. I don’t really agree that you need to see Season 3 to understand FWWM, it’s pretty straightforward if you know the first two seasons fairly well, but I certainly think it adds an interesting further dimension to the film.

I’ll take this opportunity to plug a SUPERB video series on the show from a creator called Joel Bocko, who goes by Lost in the Movies on YT. His work is always fascinating, but the thing he’s best known for is his absolutely epic series Journey Through Twin Peaks. It’s a 40-chapter (and still growing) series covering the show, less from a “let’s work out the puzzles and clues” point of view and more from a cinematic, thematic and emotional perspective, including comparisons with old movies which may have influenced Frost and Lynch.

It’s marvellous, and deserves a hell of a lot more attention than it gets (and certainly more than the notorious 4 hour Twin Perfect video)

Blue Velvet was released in 1986, years before TP. I think you mean Wild at Heart, as it’s frequently said that he left the show to work on that. However that’s not actually the case either. He just stepped back from the show because he was unhappy with being forced to reveal the killer.

Worth noting that Imgur links look like this in the UK (possibly elsewhere too?) They work if you use a VPN though.
