Which to watch next: Fire Walk or Season 3?

Hello all! Super happy new fan here, seasons 1&2 have been in my netflix queue for a loooong time. My parents watched this show when I was 8, and I've been dying to see it for 20yrs now. I went through the first season last year and when I recently came back to where I left off, I was alarmed to see that it was being taken off June 30th! Despite having much more important things to do, I managed to binge through the remaining 20 episodes in three days. My wife was working in the other room and said just listening to the audio was one of the weirdest things she's ever heard, which made me happy.

So now my question is: Which one should I watch next? Fire Walk With Me, or season 3? I know the movie is a prequel, so I'm just curious on opinions.

@b-randy I would suggest reading The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer between season 1 et 2, because this is when it was released and was meant to fill the gap between both seasons.

Not sure when the Cooper book was released.

That being said, there are a few minor discrepancies between these books and the television show, and the movie.

Welcome to the forum and to the jack rabbits hole that is Twin Peaks.

If the books you are referring to are The History and The Final Dossier, or Even The Diary....DO NOT READ THEM FIRST! These are supplementals, NOT CORE STORIES!

Watch the original series 1st, season 1 & 2. Then watch the movie Fire Walk With Me. Read the The Diary after this if you are so inclined. If you want to read The History, go ahead and do that at this time or whenever.

Then watch the 3rd season, The Return. And THEN AND ONLY THEN read The Final Dossier.

Am I missing anything my fellow Peaksies?

I am sure someone caught this already.
Before Leland dies in the holding room at the police station, does anyone else see the shadow cast on the wall behind him? Looks like fallen angel wings and the shadow of course doesn't match the lighting. Technically it's Bob not Leland hence the wings, but also refered to Cronos the Titan. Probably not meant to say Bob is Satan, Cronos, etc., but, maybe has similarities with them, and all the "Evil's" of the world.

Two coopers?

I am new to this forum so I apologize if this has been discussed at length already, but this is something I’ve been puzzling over after finishing the return:

It seems that the general consensus is that the ending of the return casts at least some doubt as to Cooper’a true intentions, and how “good” the “good Dale” really is.

Something I am particularly fascinated by in the original series as well as FWWM is the ambiguity created around BOB and Leland (I.e. where does one end and the other begin). I have been thinking about this topic as it relates to Cooper and his Dopplegänger; is the separation between them as dualistic as it seems on the surface?

This also brings up the question of whether or not “bad Dale” was a part of Cooper even before he entered the Red Room at the end of Season 2, and perhaps what occurred was more of a separation than a creation.

I find evidence for this in FWWM when Cooper watches himself on the security monitor, seemingly there are two coopers in this moment. And when Jeffries asks “who do you think this/that is there?” Is this pointing to him recognizing this Cooper as a lodge entity or otherwise as someone other than the Dale Cooper we all know?

this is not so much a theory or even a question as just a general topic I have been intrigued by, and I apologize again if it has already been explored on this forum.

There's absolutely some weight to it as he did the exact same thing with maddie ferguson when he took both names from the movie vertigo so I don't see why this would be any less credible.

Hello, I'm new to the Twin Peaks books/movies but want to get started. I'm sure this is already asked, but don't want to go through the posts with the possibility of seeing spoilers. I enjoy reading books and then watching the series/movies that related to the book. So what order should I read and watch the books/movies. I would want to watch a series right after the book. In other words, for Harry Potter, I would read book 1, than watch the corresponding movie, read book 2 and so on. Any list would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Where the scene Leland Palmer hiding torn out diary page into a bathroom door?

I have watched through all tv series, FWWM, Missing Pieces and didn't find it! But I'm sure I saw it about 6 years ago when watched Missing Pieces.

Did Bob have multiple hosts?

We experience the inhabiting spirit of Mike only through a host, Philip Gerard. Since Bob (who's another inhabiting spirit) is manifest through Leland, that begs the question: " Who's the actual identity of the is long hair guy in denim? Is the evil spirit Bob inside two hosts?
