Cast of Twin Peaks revival talk about how their characters have changed in revival series

I can hardly wait to watch this on my phone!

I think you mean, “I can hardly wait to watch this on my FUCKING TELEPHONE!”

Yeah, and it’s always struck me as hilarious the vast gulf between how Sarah Palmer handles the death of her daughter, and how the terminally-retentive Mrs. Ross handles Susan’s death as basically just a reason to confirm her disdain of George.

And this is a fundamental aspect of the show that maybe @Haystack should be warned about: the way the story is told is rather wobbly and convoluted, but if you can receive it as a roller-coaster rather than a train, you can enjoy the wobbliness and convolutedness as being exactly the point.

While I enjoy shows that make me think, I enjoy Twin Peaks as something completely different: a show that makes me not-think, like a koan made for TV.

I’ve found that I enjoy Lynch a lot more when I stop looking for an interpretation and just let the dreamy strangeness wash over me.

Apologies for just assuming I can crowd source an answer to this but should I watch these if I want to remain absolutely unspoiled?

…in relation to the show.

Started watching it. I can’t wait to find out what happens with Nadine’s drapes.

YES. I have general thoughts about how “mystery shows” and procedurals have trained audiences to search for clues and solutions while watching tv shows. This can mean that audiences miss a lot of tone, texture, and (very often) the point. I think TWIN PEAKS is a case of this.

That’s just how I experience film these days.
