I appreciate so much that despite being done 25 years later, with much more advanced VFX technology available, Lynch still resorted to unsettling bad CGI and practical effects to better drive the audience about this being a direct sequel to the original and not just a nostalgic cash grab.

[@Bloodonthepick]

There’s something about the cgi in the show that is actually perfect for the show itself. It is Uber surreal and I’m not sure a more modern use of it would be applicable in the setting and motive of emotions lynch wants us to feel. It’s really more like experimental cinema the entire show which is totally unheard of.

[@trevor_r]

the headline "Asian Man Killed!!" gets me every time I see it lmao

[@ShinySephiroth1]

This is such an amazing rundown of S3, piecing the disjointed story together. I think your work here is VASTLY underrated.

[@Adam.Langton]

Great show. One of my favorites. Very nice summary!

[@nightbirdgames]

Everywhere Judy goes electricity follows so I like to think Laura's screaming somehow stopped Judy and "kills" her, hence the electricity going out. Interesting to think that Leland and Sara were both possessed by black lodge entities.

Amazing recap. I have watched The Return a couple of times, but it has been many years since I watched the originals and I didn't want to have to watch them all again. Twin Peaks is one of the greatest things ever created, you could spend a lifetime theorizing about it.

[@1chiefg]

I just finished watching all 3 seasons for the first time a few days ago and I watched Fire Walk With Me last night. I had pretty much no idea what was going on at all and this video has cleared so much up !

[@ShinySephiroth1]

Homer Simpson: "Brilliant! ... I have absolutely no idea what is going on." I think this sums up all of us trying to piece the lore together 😅

[@GHO5T3DFreelance]

i didn't understand any of the season 3 explanation ....i might need a pie chart or extensive mental diagnosis.

[@DennyDavis-yq8tp]

Agreed

[@destinyhntr]

Thanks for summarizing. I could immediately tell an episode in that this show wouldn't be enjoyable for me, but I wanted to know what happened to the main mystery. Appreciate you being so concise and straight-forward.

[@pittcitywhat4424]

SPOILER: IMO I think it’s clear Cooper/Richard with Laura/Carrie defeated Judy bc once Laura screamed the electricity at house went out, and the black lodge was also out of power/no more juice…hence no more evil spirits/dopplegangers

[@GavinPadgett-w4n]

Agreed

[@angel_machariel]

Yes, after giving a thought, I think this is the most plausible explanation, going by the lore so far. I think the scream was resistance. It was successful and turned the tables in this new reality entirely, dislodging (see what I did there?) the entire spiritworld from Twin Peaks.

[@mikahkadence-wilson9401]

Great summary, thank you for turning it all together, and also giving us the option of choosing which outcome we believe, because at the end of the day, they’re all still in hell and hell about repetition. I don’t think the cycle ever ends for Cooper. He’s just doomed to try and fight the infinite evil again

[@MissAthena34]

You can’t convince me this isn’t the original Riverdale

[@maxalvarez5223]

Also original stranger things although I haven’t seen riverdale at all so i don’t know how similar they are but stranger things is the show I thought of when I heard that twin peaks was really influential

[@NoRegs30]

Riverdale based a ton of stuff on this show it did it badlt, but it tried at least werid thing is that the Riverdale comic is something entirely different and much better but the writters are insane

[@ShinySephiroth1]

Ah, so *that's* why Janey-E (sp?) was targeted! Mr. C came back and expelled Diane to the Zone (altering her appearance and blinding her in the process just in case someone like Briggs came across her so they wouldn't readily save her), then creating a tulpa of her so he would have his own assistant (he still has Coop's mannerisms and would "need" a Diane). With her memories of her inherited life, while planning to create Dougie as a back-up in case Coop tried to come back, Tulpa-Diane suggests to Mr. C that they hide Dougie by having him live an unassuming life with her unassuming half sister. I'm actually impressed at how much is alluded to in the show but not outright said, as it shows Frost and Lynch heavily discussed the backstory behind everything prior to making this. Thank you very much for helping make S3 more digestible!

[@aidanlastname0187]

You’re judging it without even watching it lol

[@Vulioll]

Good video, but Leland was never a good person. That is made clear by the movie, which shows that Leland himself abused Laura (by his own will).

[@ShinySephiroth1]

I thought you'd talk about the mysterious Leland spirit at the end of Season 2. Is he the spirit of Leland, or Leland's doppelganger? Heck, he could even be a Leland tulpa! With that, what was the role of the Laura doppelganger in S2? So many unanswered questions!

[@angel_machariel]

At the end of Season 2, I think it was Leland's spirit. It's stil trapped in the Black Lodge. It tries to reconcile his actions under Bob, but appears not fail at that. Doppelgängers appear to have a distinct role, one of being explicitly evil. So I don't think it was his doppelganger, but his trapped spirit.

[@scottaftem497]

[@br1ella129]

Amazing series, pure art. But this recap only scratches the surface, I'd recommend TwinPerfect's review if someone wants to dig deeper.

[@RecapAndChill]

Twin Perfect is great, but I see our videos as serving different functions. Mine is an overview that hopefully helps people understand the overall plot of the series, including the ending. And I made a concerted effort to use as little personal theorizing as possible and stick solely to the metatextual facts of the series. But that can be really difficult in a show like Twin Peaks, so Twin Perfect's 4 hour+ deep dive is also a good resource for the more minute details and explorations of themes. Consider my video to be the Albert Rosenfield and Twin Perfect's to be the Phillip Jeffries.

[@jaythoven_]

twin perfect’s video is an interpretation not a summary/explanation of the in universe and he focuses too much of his meta narrative interpretation it takes away the value of the story

@RecapAndChill what’s the name of the background song throughout the recap ?

[@jaba134]

First season: 9, second season: 8, third season: 5.

[@NetiYeti]

The population of Odessa, Texas was 99,940, according to the roadsign on the edge of town - and according to the decennial US Census of 2010. Therefore Richard aka Cooper comes to Odessa, finds Carrie Page aka Laura Palmer, and takes her back to Twin Peaks, Washington, sometime between the years 2010 and 2020. So a reasonable answer to Cooper's rhetorical question "What year is this?" might be "2015 ± 5". But, since the bereft Sarah Palmer still lives in the Palmer house in the "normal" timeline, Cooper/Richard and Laura/Carrie, are visiting the Palmer house in an alternate timeline, not in the future per se. My question is, does the Carrie Page timeline now collapse and catapult Cooper and Laura back to the "normal" timeline, or does the "normal" timeline collapse leaving Cooper and Laura stranded in the Carrie Page timeline?

[@se7enwonders]

Holy Hell, this is like …… One Life to Live had a love child with X Files

[@CVoYager]

Thank you season 3 explaination was great. In my opinion though season 3 became too complex for audience to follow even for hardcore fans. I wish they didn't do, there is greater evil plot and just focused on Dale, his evil doppelganger and people of Twin Peaks. Bob getting killed by a random teen with a green glow is one of the most anticlimatic plot lines ever. Season 3 creates more mysteries by explaning more. I guess that is something special to David Lynch.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

The first season of Twin Peaks was solid; but the show started to go downhill afterwards. Especially the third season. Twin Peaks: The Return was very poorly written. Hardcore David Lynch stans refuse to admit this; and they create their own creative and interesting theories to make up for the third season's incoherent writing.

[@dannyknightblade4592]

@kkuwana Dude, there's no need for you to polish David Lynch's b@lls. He doesn't need you to defend his piss poor writing. I'm sure he makes a lot more money than a lot of people for producing the trash he produces. Also, you don't know me personally, so it's quite presumptuous of you to assume I've never written anything; as well as you assuming how much money I make.

IT WAS KRAP!!!!!!!!!! PRETENTIOUS AND POMPOUS TO THE CORE. AN ACID TRIP OF NOTHINGNESS.

​@@dannyknightblade4592I actually think that Lynch let Mark Frost take over the writing for the most part, to make up for missing most of S2. Unfortunately, Frost has certain propensities and Lynch wasn't interested in revisiting nostalgia, so we got what we got.
