If I see anything on youtube I will link it here. There were some good stories I hadn't heard before.
I completely agree, friend.
Talking about it online or with friends and family as it aired was some of the most fun I have had with a TV series in an exceptionally long time.
I don't even know another series that I think back on years later and feel happy about what a great experience it was.
It was an absolute pleasure, at a time when I needed something to look forwards to each week. I can't imagine getting through the first six months of Donald Trump in the Whitehouse without season 3.
Well, my Fire Walk With Me Criterion copy arrived today. Now the hole I felt when I miss the chance to got "The Entire Mystery" is finally gone. Now I'm just waiting The Return BD release got a bit cheaper for Christmas holiday... and don't get unavailable by then lol

Maybe they fixed the audio sync issues finally. You just have to rebuy the whole show again!
Guess Fire Walk With Me has been banished to the Criterion lodge.
I guess I got lucky, because I got a release day copy of The Entire Mystery and have no audio sync issues...
If I remember things correctly it's one of those cases were only certain blu-ray players experienced sync issues, which sucks but it does happen more often than you'd think, especially on older blu-ray hardware. I watched it on a PS4 and it seemed fine.

No, it wasn't certain blu ray players. That was the spin CBS put out. They messed up the audio syncing in a few scenes in season 2 I believe. CBS never really handled the issue, instead just letting it get forgotten about. It was pretty shitty. The one that comes to mind is the scene where there's a barbershop humming in the background near the beginning of season 2, a conversation between Albert and Cooper. It's an issue that's not existent (NON EXISTENT) on streaming platforms though.
I have a PS4 and have observed the issue. I think some people are more sensitive to the issue, which resulted in some folks just not ever picking up on it / thinking their blu ray player was unaffected. Name me another blu ray where the audio gets unsync depending on the player... It's a content issue, not a content reading issue.
EDIT: just to clarify.. the unsynced audio is subtle, it's not an immediately obvious issue and it only happens during certain scenes not whole episodes from what I recall

I seem to recall FWWM and / or The Missing Pieces having sync issues too. It was fixable in my experience by disabling 24fps mode on the PS4, but it still shouldn't have ever happened.
Interesting. I didn't notice it but I believe you. I just took CBS at their word because I've seen issues like that before, where it really did affect certain players only. Hell, it's the case in a recent release I bought, a Doctor Who blu-ray set, but there the issue is way more severe if you do experience it. I checked that one and it was all good on my end for sure.
In that case I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't fixed though. Since they handled it that way before they probably just repressed the same darn discs.
Anyway, apologies for spreading misinformation.
until they release The Return on 4K I see no reason to buy blurays - Showtime streams it and I have downloads of the eps in 1080p. I hope the do UHD discs but I doubt they will.
I don't have a UHD blu ray player, and honestly I don't feel so appealing to 4K content when surely it will cost 2 or 3 times more than bluray. And even that, not even the best streaming can get the same bitrate quality than physical release.
In other topic, I put the Missing Piece yesterday from the Criterion release and it doesn't have subtitles. Shame :( it was the same with The Entire Mystery release?

It doesn't. new UHD movie releases costs about the same as new blurays. And they usually come with bluray and digital releases in addition to them, so you get a lot of value with the purchase. I have the Xbox One X which plays UHD. If you have an OLED, 4K HDR (especially dolby vision) is a game changer.
I never watched Twin Peaks, partly because I've not really been fond of David Lynch outside of Mulholland Drive. I started in January of this year and finished The Return last night. I loved almost all of my time with it. I had nothing spoiled (including who killed Laura) and now I feel like I have decades worth of materials to read and digest. Any works, essays, podcasts, or videos I should watch now? I can finally read what Joel Bocko back in The Dancing Image was raving about all this time.
I'm still organizing my thoughts on it all. It may take a while.

The Essential Wrapped in Plastic by John Thorne is a great companion piece to the series, which deals with the series (the original) as a whole and talks extensively about each episode.
The Secret History of Twin Peaks and The Final Dossier were released quite recently, and they are pretty fun reads (and great audiobooks as well). They are mostly about the lore of the series, and detail some of the stuff that happened between Season 2 and The Return.
In terms of Podcasts, I had a lot of fun with A Twin Peaks Podcast: A Podcast About Twin Peaks. Was hosted by Jeff Jensen and Darren Franich. This was Entertainment Weekly's Podcast and the hosts are really passionate about the show. It mostly focused on The Return as it was launched to listen to after each episode.
Seconding this recommendation. Also check out Diane, which for me has given me a lot to chew on in their analysis and interpretations. I'd recommend it over all the other Twin Peaks podcasts personally. Diane did a show watch from the Pilot of the original to Part 18 of the Return as well as covering Fire Walk With Me and the Mark Frost books. Right now they're in the midst of a rewatch of the Return.
I started on Diane recently but am only a few episodes in, so I wasn't ready to recommend it, but it's very good so far.
If you're a fan of Idle Thumbs, Jake and Chris had a podcast that covers the entire series, Twin Peaks Rewatch.
Diane is a great podcast. They have a dynamic together that let's them go from serious deep analysis, to goofy jokes, to a random digression, and back to deep analysis. All done by intelligent people with open hearts and minds. It's the perfect way for a show to come at analyzing Twin Peaks. I'm happy they are doing a rewatch of The Return, because their discussions benefit from more hindsight and context.
Rosie and Bob also have a side show called The Shadow Trap where they analyze paranormal entities and how they are expressed in storytelling and media that has the same vibe.

I miss that Podcast. Also, Idle Thumbs. They just stopped making them without a goodbye.
Oh, I almost forgot. I finally saw a video of the QA and I hosted last month show up on youtube. Kind of embarrassed to share it here but it's out there anyways so I may as well. Hopefully some people here will get a kick out of some of the stories the celebs told. My butt features prominently in the thumbnail.

Like I'll ever presume I've bought the series for the final time.
On the one hand, very happy with this release and the included 4k pieces. But considering they've done the pilot in 4k and that the entire new season was done in 4k, I guess I'll just wait for the full 4k version some day. On the other hand, those extras...
I respect that. And well, I'm definitely tempted by those extras. Hmmmmm. Guess I'll just see how expensive this ends up being here.
Great job! Thanks for sharing. Really great to see and hear from Eric Da Rey.
*looks at my Entire Mystery, FWWM Criterion, and deluxe packaging S3*
This is so tempting. But I love my The Entire Mystery and Season 3 box sets.
I'll wait for the box set that comes out in 5 years and includes season 4 as well...

The box art is so beautiful. I already own everything so I'm going to hold off for now. BUT if I had the extra $....
Finally. I was waiting for 4K.
Wait, why only S3E08? I hope they release the whole season in UHD someday
