Another season of Twin Peaks may be happening...again

I have a feeling you don't know the definition of sublime. Haha.
Season 3 was moments of greatness surrounded by a sea of shit.

Yup, I enjoyed The Return overall but the finale had a special kind of atmosphere that was just incredible. If they end up doing more and can maintain that particular feeling from the finale throughout it'll be amazing. The idea of an alternate dimension Twin Peaks with different characters or bizarro versions of existing ones has a lot of potential (and yes I realize The Return kind of did that but not with that sort of atmosphere). A dedicated Carrie Page/New Coop arc would be a delight, and I'm hopeful for more exploration of the Mother/Sarah Palmer relationship. Lot of fertile ground to explore narratively there.
The giant space worm that came from the nuke and shat out Bob, still needs to be defeated.
If you randomly clicked this thread and read this, and it makes no sense to you, it doesn't make any for me either. The GOAT show. Flat out.
Honestly the 2020 tweet could just be a celebration of Twin Peaks, and not even necessarily a new season as that site seems to imply. I guess time will tell. I do hope that whatever Lynch is gonna do is quick, because I feel every odd day another actor related to Twin Peaks dies.
Yes this....this is what it was all about it gives me chills i need more shit like this.
I would welcome another trip to Twin Peaks. It is my favorite piece of television ever and watching The Return each week was an amazing experience as we all tried to piece together what was happening. The only thing that puts me off is that more and more of the cast are getting older and passing away, and between losing Catherine Coulson and Miguel Ferrer, it wouldn't be the same. Lynch isn't afraid to broach the subject of time passing though and didn't seem too concerned about catering to nostalgia with The Return, so it'd probably be fine, but I still have some reservations.
Though, if whatever Lynch and Frost come up with can carry the tone of the last couple episodes of The Return, I'm all in. That last scene (really, the entire last episode) fucking ruined me and I loved every second of it.

I find it really difficult to process when people say they didn't like the third season. I had such a strong, visceral reaction to it. I even showed it to my dad, who is really not into stuff like this and has never seen a Lynch film other than The Elephant Man and Dune, and he was similarly gripped by it. I remember him asking if we could speed up the viewing schedule because "I don't like what this is doing to my head, I can't stop thinking about it when I'm not watching it." I would love another season with Lynch and Frost in the drivers seat, as long as Lynch ultimately has that creative control and final cut again.
Lynch does what he wants to do and nothing more. If another season is happening, it wouldn't be because he wants to cash in, it would be because he has a story to tell.
As much as I adore the original cast, you would really only need Cooper to continue the story.
I do actually. That word in particular is important to my work as a writer.
I liked it, but overall I was disappointed at the deviation from S1/S2, it was so much more in...that direction.
Wrote my post precisely because of that, and Peggy Lipton's passing a couple of months ago, as well. (Thankfully Norma and Ed's arc is complete, and was probably one of the best scenes in The Return).
I hope this happens and that it turns back to being more like S1/2. The greatest thing about twin peaks for me was the surreal soap opera. Season 3 was interesting as a Lynch fan but not as a Twin peaks fan imo.

give up on the hope that it will ever happen this way and I think you'll be happier honestly. S3 was the clearest possible statement from Lynch that he would never consider doing it that way
