Twin Peaks Season 3 Episode 1 & 2 Breakdown

[@GameSpotUniverse]

What do you think of the return of Twin Peaks?

[@stephenclark6273]

Terrific. I've seen all 4 episodes, and as you know, there's quite a bit more humor coming up.

[@GameSpotUniverse]

Oh WE know! Wally Brando is coming! :-)

[@ISerathI]

Wait, weren't episodes 3 and 4 supposed to come at the 28th?

[@CragAggro]

You can stream them online right now if you have a Showtime subscription.

[@stephenclark6273]

Michael Cera absolutely NAILED Wally Brando!

[@heysatan8]

The scenes with the log lady broke my heart, knowing catherine coulson was actually dying of cancer... seeing her in that weak state with that fragile voice is heartbreaking.

[@veggiesaresexy1993]

Banshee Beat that is pretty fukn sad 😞

[@jadeosborne8617]

Banshee Beat what an awesome lady though, she channeled her pain into her acting beautifully

[@nateblack8669]

I know, I just started watching season 3 today and it was definitely tough to see her so sickly and frail :'[ See you in the White Lodge, Margaret ❤

[@angelaholmes8888]

Wow I har know idea that she was dying

[@DarthStone]

You know that feeling you get when you wake up, and you barely remember a very complicated and scary nightmare, as it slowly begins to fade from your memory? That's how it feels to watch some good old David Lynch. It's awesome.

[@chaossmith3864]

That's every morning for me and maybe that's why I love Twin Peaks so much?

[@tonitsi78]

It's nice how Lynch pays tribute to The Shining. A body of a woman/man is found on room 216. The neighbour lives next door, but his room number is 218. This actually means that the bedroom the body is in, is room 217 which is the famous room number from The Shining (in the book - in the movie a different room number 237 was used).

[@3313xx]

The scene with that weird entity in the glassbox scared the absolute shit out of me. I never found BOB or the other stuff of season 1+2 particularly scary, but that sort of lovecraftian horror we witness in the new season really hits my nerve. There's just nothing more unsettling to me than the notion of the vastness of space, the unknown and unknowable entities it harbours and our own insignificance within it. I think that scene captured that perfectly. Not a fan of all the gore though, still I'm pretty intrigued so far.

[@myboy_]

God that moment in season 1 when ms palmer sees bob hiding in corner... So simple but absolutely terrible

[@garbagegirl42069]

I have watched SO MANY "episode 1/2 recaps"...and you guys are the FIRST one that I hit the like button on! You have a new subscriber here 😊 Amazing job, can't wait for the next one!!

[@valmarsiglia]

Lynch has a thing for the sound of a needle on a record and general electronic noises, it's in Inland Empire as well. Next to Coppola (especially in The Conversation and Apocalypse) he's probably the director who pays the most attention to sound design, yet another reason his work is so absorbing and fascinating.

[@dominicconroy810]

There are plenty of episode recaps and you guys have got the best formula by far! Friendly, concise and smart. I'm a subscriber. 😊

[@goofyskid1]

That was a well-balanced breakdown. Great job, guys.

[@anvilonegaming]

Takahiro Kida Thank you! Come back for the next one. So much to cover!

[@FrancineST56]

Thank you so much for the breakdown!!! It has helped me so much! In the 90's, I had to re-watch every episode maybe 5 times. I'm 25 years older now and even though I live in WA state and was the President of the Washington State chapter of C.O.O.P, it's soooo much better to hear your interpretation of this!!! So thank you!

[@robschneider8310]

Surprisingly good, thorough and relax analysis. Keep up the good work guys

[@JackRipper8881]

This is the perfect accompaniment to watching Season 3 of Twin Peaks. Having someone to help you break down and analyse each episode is what Greg and Ryan do (even if they are wrong sometimes :-) ) These breakdown episodes should be released on to DVD to be purchased alongside Twin Peaks 3: The Return. Watching an episode followed by the breakdown of that episode is pure heaven and a lot of fun.

[@grootoob23]

Great discussion. These will definitely will be my go-to unpacking videos.

[@robjansen8233]

absolutely amazing to get back in the world of twin peaks and after this season we get a new novel what a time to be alive awesome

[@davidschlessinger9945]

yes, three big things. Very light on comedy. Not so much Angelo Badalamenti. And weird locations- New York, Las Vegas, and South Dakota

[@kevinalford]

Those guys are having a race for who can get the widest jaw-beard.

[@Pixelkip]

haha where does your beard grow?

[@jamescollins9178]

Lol the shade

[@rapaciousinterloper4725]

The song that plays when Bob/Cooper first appears in the Mercedes, is American Woman by The Muddy Magnolias, but it is slowed way down.

[@livalee8417]

The scratching noise from S3E1 is making Audrey with pencil and coffee cup in S1E1

[@NathanielChristopher]

2:03 The sound from the phonogram is the same as Dr. Jacoby's shovel pulley.

[@heysatan8]

I love in that Ruth Davenport scene how these cops find this extremely gruesome, nightmarish crime scene and that one cop's only reaction is to say "uh oh..." It's so underwhelming and childish, really adds to that Lynchian vibe that I love so much. :D Also the POV shot slowly travelling into Ruth's bedroom where the corpse is in the bed is very, very reminiscent of Mulholland Dr. where we get the same POV shot in the apartment where we also discover a rotting corpse on the bed.

[@Traynrek]

hey guys, really glad i found this. i adored twin peaks when it was first on (i was a teenager at the time, it was the first grown up tv programme i got obsessed with) and was really excited when i saw this was coming. however, i really need help with untangling the plot and working out what' on earth is going on. the michael cera scene was bloody hilarious, but the business of the plot is less clear!! keep your videos coming, i shall use them as an aid :-)

[@theshape7214]

[@alllowercase6277]

Thank You fellow geeks. Started by watching your analysis of the crazy Ep 8. Now gonna start from the beginning and work my way through. Appreciate these videos, thanks.

[@fusionspace175]

I don't think he's in the black lodge, it hasn't ever been in black and white, that's wthe white lodge. Travel between Black and White is possible, but travel to Earth is much more difficult. I think he's been shuttled back and forth between the lodges all this time.

[@MrBlackcandy85]

Glass Box looks like the giant Francis Bacon box painting. There are many in his paintings.

[@The_Doug__Side]

Look in the dying bison's/Buffalo's eye. There's a green light in it. Sarah Palmer then leans forward like she sees something then when they show it again the light is there but then fades out. It's the same green color as the ring, and as the cigarette lighter in Bob Cooper's car when he crashes.

[@esteticacarolinamunoz7293]

very good points, I've seen a lot of reviews and this one is the best for me. New suscriber!

[@StefanLuciani]

Funny how you mention thinking it was Bruce Campbell coming out of that car. Peter Deming, the cinematographer for Twin Peaks (2017) was the DOP for Evil Dead 2 as well.

[@sir_john_hammond]

Yeah, I pointed out to my friend that he looked a lot like bruce campbell. It's the chin and dirty face, I suppose.

[@nettieforce1808]

The main reason so few actual Twin Peaks is that the ma I n actors are dead or old. Retired. I am grateful for their efforts. Bravo Lynch for inspiring such love.💕🙏🌏🌍🌎😉

[@ablackwelltp1]

I was slightly disappointed at first with the slowness of the first two episodes - it wasn't just the pacing but the complete lack of a notion of even some direction a storyline was going in. However, I think that's why the first four episodes were released on demand straight away - the next two episodes are a bit quicker with more going on, and instantly excuse the slowness of the first two imo. I haven't rewatched them yet, and this video is the closest I've had to doing so but I think, with the knowledge that things get going a bit more shortly after, I can really revel in the tranquility of these first two episodes

[@macacoosnofa]

ablackwelltp1 that's the thing about lynch, it's a non sense world, with lots of subconscious shit behind it. it's creepy and beautiful at the same time

[@naz654]

Really the same for me, watched the first two almost painfully but after watching 3,4 and 5, I feel better about the whole thing, knowing that there is a general direction. I am sure I will like episode 1 and 2 more on rewatch.

[@macacoosnofa]

i thought the first and second were great bcos they left you on that thought 'wtf is going on here?' and u had so many doubts that are going to unveil themselves

[@sddbdreed]

Did anyone notice that when the arm talks to Dale in the black lodge, the caption reads 253 but the audio sounds like it's saying 257?

[@kidrocketbmx]

I hope Cooper wins Emmy. He has played like 4 people already in Twin Peaks!!! And he is amazing!!!!

[@GraceRoberson]

I prefer to watch Twin Peaks on my old bubble shit TV lol

[@Roberson540]

who would dislike this! they broke down some good points !

[@bradzukovic3274]

Right on analysis and breakdown!

[@SLAV326]

The record player is significant on season two when Leland kills Maddie. The clicking of the player also signifies a rhythmic vibration that can put someone in a hypnotic trance.

[@theshape7214]

[@redwhite6949]

Good recap, thanks! I love TP but as with anything to do with David Lynch, sometimes I need to work out what the heck I just saw.

[@corneliuganea]

Too bad you guys brought very little personal opinions on the story line and events, but simply described what we all saw

[@Schreibtisch1]

You're awesome guys. Please do a recap of the FWWM and all the other episodes of season 1 and 2

[@BOBXFILES2374a]

Great summary of Episode 8! (the comments wouldn't stop loading)

[@adrianpale2342]

Yall forgot to give a shout out to Gary Hershberger who played Mike Nelson in the original Twin Peaks. Mike Nelson is the boss who berates the new Steven character, about his resume.

[@kevinalford]

Pretty solid breakdown.

[@shawnmcloughlin42]

I really liked the breakdown, but when you show clips from the original run of the show, can you put them in the correct OAR next time so that they aren't stretched. Great job, otherwise!

[@anvilonegaming]

Shawn McLoughlin Thanks! Another artifact of how long it has been between seasons!

[@stephenholloway9395]

Love the massive pauses

[@theinsanitypepper]

I really want to get into this. I like it, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it! Do I need to watch the original?

[@Jesterfromeden]

The Insanity Pepper yep!

[@theinsanitypepper]

Over the weekend I watched the first 5 episodes. I'm really enjoying it, it's super quirky.

[@Jesterfromeden]

The Insanity Pepper glad you like it... It's a great show

[@kidrocketbmx]

Yeah these were way more darker. That glass box demon scene gave me such bad nightmares I woke up so scared I punch the wall in my ceiling

[@GeorgeMillerUSA]

Kid Rocket Vlogs Funny, this one had a similar tone to FWWM. Because FWWM is alot darker than the first two seasons.

[@Panyc333]

I'm assuming the figure that appears in the black smoke is Laura Palmer (I've only seen eps 1 & 2 if already revealed). This may be how she "gets out" as you guys theorized.

[@Elayzee]

I think it's Carrie Page who is in the Black Lodge scenes.

[@GameTesterBootCamp]

Good vid but what's with the constant "16:9" thing that is always around footage? Is it something that's important to point out or just something done for "style"? Either way it's kind of distracting and annoying. Otherwise, great vid!

[@raulvalerosabariego301]

I'm having a hard time with the kind of symbolism but I'm absolutely LOVING how David doesn't care about shit they say!

[@macacoosnofa]

btw, that ace that BOB Cooper shows darya has the symbol from the owl cave

[@acrustykrab]

is there some weird bell ringing noise in the backround? It's one of those annoying sounds I can barely hear or tell if it's real, lol

[@jrseguin]

Did anyone else see the cast credit for archival footage of Frank Silva on the IMDB page for Episode 2?!

[@phunkym8]

they should do an 18 episode breakdown again now that it finished to find out how much non important stuff was in the whole season.

[@MubiiOxx]

do i need to watch the original to understand this one?

[@travisjones9933]

Great Review. Who IS this billionaire? I seem to recall a character in Mulholland Drive played by the actor who played "The Man From Another Place" in TP who I thought was called "The Billionaire" - if thats him or some other shadowy character from Mulholland Drive, why are we assuming he's so important here? Get that it's same cinematic universe but there's been no reference so far..

[@kairiismylive]

First I missed the series because I was lazy to think. Now watched the series (damn those episodes where David wasn't there sucked). I am so happy to see it finally, and fucking love David was a director of season 3. Watching 3 episode now, damn David Lynch is a fucking genius. I love him.

[@gabebx4038]

I don't understand it watched the first two episodes don't get it Yet PLEASE SOME ONE. EXPLAIN ?!?!?!?!

[@jncrlsyb8140]

Gabe BX Have you seen the original series first, season one and two?

[@psnllc4116]

Evil Cooper is not Bob. Well at least conclusively there is absolutely no evidence of that. It' could prove to be very inaccurate to refer to Evil Cooper as Bob

[@biancabianca6888]

When we discovered who killed laura palmer there was a vinyle playing ... the first scene might remind that

[@samikshashetty6732]

at whom does shelly stare at after james in episode 2 ending?

[@laurabelford2589]

The pauses are pregnant and necessary, saying it ~trows the rhythm of joint~ is like saying a musician is wrong for playing an adagio on tempo.

[@bofe243]

The scene with Sarah Palmer watching TV with animals is not new. If you remember Lost Highway there is also an animal show on TV.

[@eliasandersson3299]

I have actually liked the first episode the most! Love them all though

[@SLAV326]

The computer case belonged to Windom Earle.

Is anyone else a fan of Lynch's movies but just cannot get into Twin Peaks? I wish he would have done a completely new series.

[@newtonjr.madzika1439]

What's Ben's favourite line?

[@Crash64100]

Lynch , unlike in the original series, jumped straight to getting on my nerves with this one. Watched intently, wanting desperately to get back to that original Twin Peaks vibe. Unfortunately he chose to completely ignore trying to present Any kind of plot whatsoever, and just went straight to the "avant-garde " meaningless visual "video paintings" if you will, that Lynch so loves. Problem is, presenting it with all the randomness of a stray bullet ricocheting around inside a bizarrely shaped iron room, left me less eager to continue watching, and more interested in grabbing him up by the collar and saying " This better be going somewhere!! And you better get on with it!! "

[@DanielDavissynthman]

Crash64100 maybe let the artist crest his or her own art.

[@wayne3340]

@@DanielDavissynthman yes, and let the viewer express his/her own thoughts.

[@donnylurch4207]

That's too bad about Michael J. Anderson. No disrespect, but what's he got going on that he can pass up on returning to Twin Peaks? He did that DVD feature where he teaches you how to speak backwards. Oh well, at least it works with his old line, "When you see me again, it won't be me."

[@Lufteufel]

Michael J. Anderson was unsatisfied with the salary they offered him to come back to the show. He was pissed and later said that Lynch was rapist murderer who controls the life his daughter with fear. I don't think he is feeling that well.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Sorry for all if the bitching about story line. This is what it was always supposed to be, instead of Lynch weaving a soap opera in with his art. If you don’t like it, go watch Steven Spielberg movies. I mean shit, don’t tell me you’ve never seen Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, or Mullholland Drive. Put your thinking caps on, watch and listen carefully, and enjoy being truly creeped out by god knows what.

I am dead yet I live is a Biblical verse. I think the tree has something to do with life and becoming human. See all the nerves on the tree? Those might represent being formed in the womb. A white horse appears in the book of Revelation in the Bible. It represents God.

[@andrewdorie]

Hey, guys. I like your Twin Peaks videos. But I think your analysis would be stronger if it were more disciplined. That is, at times your ideas are based on form or semiotics. At times your ideas are based on auteurism. I think these disciplines/schools of criticism can go well together, though auteurist interpretations can easily become speculative or coercive. I'm sure this is why Lynch consistently refuses to comment on his intentions. Regardless, you lose me when you start speculating on how an audience might respond to the show. One of you said something about a hypothetic viewer who "really isn't that into David Lynch & is just trying to sit down & watch" the show. You said that viewer might be turned off by the pacing. Respectfully, is that really your response to this aspect of the show? Inferior art has flooded the market since the Dutch Golden Age in response to casual audiences. Who cares what they think? I mean that respectfully. Lynch is one of the most innovative filmmakers of my lifetime & you're interpreting his work through the lens of business majors & soccer parents. To finish my original thought about disciplined analyses, I don't expect everyone to interpret art as critically as I do. But I think the way we discuss it could be so much more satisfying & fruitful if we understood the terms on which our discussions were grounded. Anyway, I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for hearing me out.

[@Crispr00]

What is twin peaks about ?

[@augustvonmackensen2102]

I think it's " trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir".

[@stephenclark6273]

Partly, about the deep weirdness of the human psyche, and our essentially violent natures.

[@anvilonegaming]

Michal Senajko Ha ha! The Jungian thing 😜 Actually there is something familiar about Bruce Boa's FMJ colonel and Lynch's Gordon. A speaking cadence?

[@anvilonegaming]

Help me reach 500 subs Bleach Twin Peaks is about the murder of a high school student in a rural American town in the mountains that becomes a case for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

[@larsvontrio]

Even though it gets bit Wim Wenders at the oddment, I can think of no other filmmaker like Lynch. This is a rip-off of Lost in Vegas kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGrVh5mvhM2nj6c. He shot on digital for 2005's Inland Empire. You could tell. But on Twin Peaks the /Retur, I can;t tell. The cinematigraogy is mind-blowing on TPTR. The lighting is so Lynch. He can make even an American suburban home seem gothic. He's got an uncanny aesthetic. Got when that homeless face-covered thing walked down the corridor in Ep 7 and froze the hackles of the female army lady who was there, to check out the prints of a 40-year-old who should be a 70-year-old..Perhaps that was Lynch's optimistic comment.

[@larsvontrio]

That was a scary being. Nice one, Mr Lynch. They're out there. Another good thing about David Lynch is he seems pretty unattached from the masonic jock club .lodge. I actually think he mocks that idea in the opening credits. You have to admire the chutzpah. I'm gonna go, and watch some more of that. It's fucking great.

[@myboy_]

You look like discount EEvisu and Seth Killian

[@wgaule]

The scene looking for the key was awful and unfunny and the tree was pathetic; Michael J. Anderson really should have come back though, his image, in that red suit was the essence of Twin Peaks. Everything else in these first two episodes was awesome though. I guess nothing is perfect.

Started watching the 3rd season and she lost interest in the 1st episode. It seems Lynch has lost his sense of humor. Also most of the characters had their own music. Eg. Audrey had swanky jazz music. I will continue watching it but I really hope it gets better.

Why you looking for comedy in the Twin Peaks? Comedy never was a bedrock in Twin Peaks, just a little relief and filler between real stuff. When show got to much in to the comedy it really sucked and became pointless, boring and just lame sitcom. Slow pace scenes are the best in the first episode, honestly, I felt orgasm watching, I wished it never ends. Maybe this return is not for huge masses of viewers like it was 25 ago not for everyone, but it's OK, you can't please everybody and still be very good, main stream viewers shouldn't be in the driver's seat.
