Season 3 thoughts
Hi I just started season 3 after binging tf out of season 1, 2, and FWWM. Loved all of it. Obviously season 3 is a crazy tonal shift from the original seasons (I think the mossy PNW nostalgia of the first 2 seasons does a lot for me personally) , but I think it’s still super entertaining to watch and I love David Lynch just doing whatever the hell he wants.
I have a few questions/thinking points to get other people’s thoughts on:
- did anyone here wait the 25 years between season 2 and season 3? I took about a month between finishing season 2 and starting season 3 and I was still like “OOH OOH they’re back!” I can only imagine what that would’ve been like if it had been 25 years!
- how did Angelo Badalamenti hit gold on that theme song? When it started playing for season 3 episode 1 it felt like coming back to somewhere I knew. How’d he do that??
- was season 3 still advertised/made to be soap opera esque like season 1 and 2 were. It feels much more akin to criminal minds or NCIS, which is still soapy but in a different way. I believe it’s just because the stakes are suddenly much more abstract, as season 2 sort of became at the end.
- I miss my sheriff 😔 but I understand him not wanting to leave retirement for this…I think it would’ve helped level some of the insane camp of the current twin peaks sheriff department we see.
