I think fjoiks needs to have the account deleted.  Looks to me to be a shill account used to post links to problematic sites.  Opening a post from 3 years ago and not adding anything at all to it other than to post a link?  Pure Spam.

Such vile creatures who pay for or get paid to write college papers. Pisses me off to no end!

Aye!

By the way, I clicked the Report button at the top of the post and after filling out the message box and clicking send it told me there was an error in sending.  That's why I posted the reply here.

Are there any free authors here? Can you help me type my essay fast? To be honest, it is not yet completed. I will also need someone to write a proper summary of my work. It should be appropriate and high-quality. I will definitely pay for this job. Or suggest me an online service who would be ready to do it . The agencies I know prefer to write the work from the very beginning. So do you know someone who works with partially written essays?

I think it could be, given how many "legacy" characters there are. Legacy in the comic book sense - new characters inheriting the role or position of a previous character. Double R changes ownership - or management; Great Northern suffers a dynastic war between Audrey and an illegitimate previously unknown daughter; Donna and daughter; and so on.

Even the FBI characters can have a succession although I think if Dale Cooper was replaced with a new guy or girl whoever it was would have to be Mulder and Scully tier to appeal.

The killer question is always, does David Lynch have the appetite to do Season 4? There are quite a few commentators I have read and listened to who state categorically that Season 3 was IT, the end, all answered and over and done with. Maybe, maybe not.

In real world terms as we have seen with the Watchmen property, even when the equivalent of David Lynch, Alan Moore, has stridently opposed any adaptation and washed his hands of it the IP owners have ignored him and pressed ahead (with mixed results). Maybe by the 2030s we will see the same thing with Twin Peaks?

Season 3 is the foundation of whatever comes next, in my opinion, because it unifies the original show, FWWM, its own episodes of course but also draws in some things from other Lynch projects.

Maybe the similarity indicates(by showing the criminal Jacques) how the 'good' Dougie and the 'good world' of Las Vegas are compromised by corruption and illegality, how Cooper is complicit in such an endeavor by taking what is inherently corrupt and presenting it as just 'good ol' cherry pie and coffee', how the same crimes are discounted and appear as acceptable.  Right next to Jacques is Anthony who is currently involved in organized crime and is friends with Dougie.  Its true that Dougie 'busts' Anthony, but then he later goes on to form his own criminal connections and even compromises Mullins into participating with the Mitchums, thereby corrupting the entire institution.   For Dougie, it was either working with the Mitchums or being dead, as Mullins informs him before he gets into the limo,  but both Mullins and Dougie end up enjoying the criminality and fully participating, and this is simply 'how things work' around Las Vegas, much like the Bookhouse Boys keeping things 'how they like it' and blaming everything on some external evil 'out in the woods' that comes out of nowhere. 

  Las Vegas is a normalized and acceptable criminality, a world of 'Bill Shakers' and 'Candy Shakers', much like the service that Jacques was running in Twin Peaks, maybe this only looked so horrible through the illusion of Laura and Twin Peaks, the idea that something is worthwhile regardless of money/power, that people are free and important, while here the same crimes are going on and sold easily, fully opened up to and tolerant money exchange and power domination, full enjoyment without restriction or limit,  with full on acceptance by the general population.  This also resonates with Cooper's initial problem of wanting to find the 'true world' where people still live with decency outside of corrupted Philadelphia and was looking for it in Twin Peaks, and Twin Peaks not living up to this culminated in Coopers madness.  Dougie himself in Las Vegas was involved with Jade and then Candy Shaker, after joining a criminal mafia under threat of death, with the melancholia attached to it; and even later goes on to excuse it all and enjoy it, showing that Dougie is not as innocent as he appears, he even betrayed his beliefs about Twin Peaks/Laura, the rule of law, right/wrong, etc.

Also, around the same time in the series, we see an insurance salesman of the similar demeanor and physical build as the Jacques lookalike above appearing at Twin Peaks Sheriffs station and offering insurance to Sheriff Truman through a conversation with Lucy.  My first thought is that this hints at the similarity of Twin Peaks to the corrupted world of Las Vegas, the dark underside of Twin Peaks and it money/power intrigue(Ben Horne, Catherine, Josie, et al), and of course Jacques and Laura, etc.   In this case, does Mr. C now not appear in a different light in his search for Judy and disruption?  Mr. C is now emerging as the true hero seeking to disrupted the corrupted mess of Las Vegas and Twin Peaks, the one who did not betray the truth of the tragicomedy that happened to Laura and stood up for what is right.....

Twin Peaks (2017) is certainly showing several (at least four) views of a much darker setting than the first part of the first season of Twin Peaks, despite the murder mystery with its realistic (and atypical) grieving parents. It reminds me of Philip K. Dick's Cosmic Puppets (original version: A Glass Darkly).

yeah,  I don't think it's going to spoil anything mainly because it's his interpretation.

It all makes sense, and he obviously has put a lot of research into it.

It gets into a lot of META and presents the solving of clues (one I'll give here as an example is that David Lynch, the Director of Fire Walk With Me also plays Gordon Cole, the Director of the FBI).  Stuff like that, it's hard to refute because the host draws lines that make sense.  The entire viewing is like this, but again, I don't think it's going to spoil anything for you.

If anything, it may very well encourage you to rewatch (again) from Season 1 and see how well his research pans out.

Less worried about "spoiling" anything than I am about wasting 4.5 hours of my life of some B.S.   :)

Nah, it's enjoyable.  Originally I was going to watch it in chunks but I got drawn in and watched it all in one go.  That said, there are "breaks/chapters" every so often.  I think the 1st one is about an hour in.

I got an error last time I tried to post by the way, think it was error 2253.

I enjoy long video productions because I listen to them whilst I work during the day and to go to sleep to at night.

If anything this one could have been longer, or a long series of productions in a series. It's very well done in terms of keeping all the thematically linked material together within sections too, rather than jumping around.

Infinitely preferable to the awful "ten things you never knew about Twin Peaks" type clueless stuff.

Just had to get that off my chest.

That is all.
