I cannot wait to sit down and watch this all again. I'm not crazy on the cover at all, but very much like Dt. Mills, I'm only interested in what's in the box.

Is BadCoop the greatest TV villain of all time?

Is BadCoop the greatest TV villain of all time? I honestly think so. Leland Palmer shouldn't be entirely counted out though.

Is BadCoop the greatest TV villain of all time? I wouldn't go that far. Still very great.

Is BadCoop the greatest TV villain of all time? He's a great one for sure, but I think I'd only be able to squeeze him into a top 5 at best.

Is BadCoop the greatest TV villain of all time? He's pretty great, but I would put Leland, Bob, Richard Horne and Red (despite only being in The Return for all of fifteen minutes) over him just from Twin Peaks. And now that I'm thinking about it, Lynch is REALLY good at creating villains.

And now that I'm thinking about it, Lynch is REALLY good at creating villains. Richard Horne? And Red? Why? Richard is one of the most relentlessly evil characters I've seen in a TV show or movie (evil in a way the doppelganger isn't - Richard feels very much like a human being to me, which the doppelganger does not - this makes Richard's acts of violence more horrifying), and the actor playing him did a phenomenal job. I loved his role in this season and found a lot of his scenes very viscerally affecting in a way that only a few of the doppelganger's were. Knowing Richard's heritage also makes his character almost tragic in a way, which isn't easy to pull off. Red is kind of like Ben from Blue Velvet for me, in the sense that they're both barely in the show/movie but end up leaving a huge impression on me. All three of Red's scenes (in the bar at the end of Part 2, his talk with Richard in Part 6, and his visit with Shelly in Part 11 that is followed with all hell breaking loose outsider the diner) were some of the best parts of this season, IMO, and none of the doppelganger's scenes (outside of maybe his talks with Jeffries and Gordon's team) were as good, relatively speaking. There's so much to speculate about his character too (is he actually capable of Black Lodge-ish magic? Is he responsible for the chaos outside the diner in Part 11 in some abstract way, acting as a sort of caravan of the Black Lodge? What's the deal with this "Sparkle" drug he's selling? Is he in cahoots with Jean-Michel Renault?) and while the same can be said of Cooper's doppelganger, I personally find Red a bit more interesting. And that's all it comes down to really. I find Red and Richard Horne more interesting.

Red really didn't do that. Getty was excellent in the part and I really wanted to know more about Red (I love the theory that he's Mrs. Tremond/Chalfont's grandson all grown up), but there wasn't nearly enough of him for me to really put him in a top five. And I thought Richard Horne was a pathetic, sleazy screw-up. Great performance, but would I call him a great villain? Eh, I see him more as an irredeemable asshole than anything else. He's a shade worse than Steven Burnett, but they're cut from the same cloth. But then, for me, MacLachlan was unparalleled this season, and I love the Chigurh-like influence he injected into DoppelCoop.

You make some good points, but personally it doesn't bother me that Red didn't affect the plot much. I love most of the Roadhouse scenes. I think a lot of The Return wasn't about plot. I agree that overall MacLachlan gives the best performance.

Fuck yeah. Much more behind-the-scenes stuff will come with the Blu-Ray release.

So apparently some things about S3 are made more clear in Mark Frost's latest book "The Final Dossier". I personally still don't consider this to be the official version (for me canon is only what we see in the series, nothing else from the outside), but perhaps this will be interesting for people anyway: - the girl from E8 who swallowed the creature is indeed Sarah Palmer - it is suggested that Audrey is in a private care facility - after Cooper 'erases' Laura's murder, she still doesn't just live happily ever after. She doesn't get murdered that night, but she disappears without a trace. Leland kills himself a year later - there's even an answer to 'How's Annie', and I'll quote the Vulture article here: She’s been mute ever since her Red Room ordeal with Cooper, only softly muttering “I’m fine” every year, once a year, on the anniversary of the day she was found in the woods at precisely 8:38 a.m. Owing to two suicide attempts in the years that followed, Annie’s sister, Norma Jennings, decided to admit her to a private psychiatric hospital near Spokane, where she’s been living ever since. She’s described as “still quite beautiful, her face unlined in youthful appearance, peaceful in temperament, and blissfully detached from everything and everyone around her.” Medical professionals at the hospital say it’s highly doubtful her condition will ever improve.Here's a link to the full article: www.vulture.com/2017/11/twin-peaks-the-final-dossier-mark-frost-timeline.html

Finished rewatching S1 and S2 of TWIN PEAKS. Gotta say, upon rewatch the second half of the second season fares better than when you watch it for the first time. Being prepared for the goofiness of it really helps. The worst storyline is easily the stupid James segway when he goes on his little noir journey only to leave the show altogether after that. But the other silly stuff was actually pretty funny this time round - the Civil War nonsense, the teen Nadine stuff, even the kinda useless Billy Zane scenes. I'm also not a fan of Windom Earle (even though the writing really wants me to think he's the shit) but just hanging out in Twin Peaks overcomes all the flaws. Those characters and that world are so goddamn amazing that you end up not caring about the shortcomings. And I honestly believe that the first 9 episodes of S2 are maybe even better than the first season. E1 and E7 of S2 are masterpieces, as well as the final one, of course.

Does anyone else feel like The Return was exponentially better than every other movie released in 2017?

I feel like The Return was exponentially better than 99% of the movies released ever. I'd agree with that. Is it your favourite Lynch release? I'm starting to think it's the best thing he's made.
