I don't want to think about more. I just want to revel in the moment. This is not an all-you-can-eat buffet, it is a gourmet meal, and I just want to taste every bite, and not worry about the next meal.
For my part, I will keep Showtime after the show ends, just to thank them for doing this.
And as far as having to wait each week, it is what DL wants, and I am fine with that. The frustration is part of the seasoning that makes this meal taste so good.
Thank you. My thoughts exactly.
If the story ever does continue, I hope it's on something like Netflix. I'm way past wanting to watch a show when the network decides to air it. I want to watch when I want to watch and to watch multiple episodes in a row. This week to week business is killing me.
D.L. has stated that he LIKES having this shown week by week. He isn't a fan of "binge-watch tv". . I'm not a fan of having a subscription to Showtime, because I already have HBO and Netflix, but if there is a season 4 (I so hope there will be) you can bet your sweet bippy it will again be a week to week release and not a whole season dumped all at once.
I have a huge issue with lynch having that stance.
Frankly, it 100% contradicts what he's said. He says "I prefer week by week", THEN says "it was shot/made like an 18 hour movie".
Ive had some gripes about this season, and I've taken a step back and think that if viewed as a movie (ala binged) it would flow alot better and be received better by many who has been impatient.
Honestly, considering how few spoilers I've seen on Facebook (aka none, unlike shows like got or walking dead that are instantly spoiled) I'd have just passed on the weekly deal and just binge it when it's over.
If I was going to watch it as one long movie, it would need to be edited down a lot. I'm not going to watch a film for 18 hours straight. There's a reason the 18 hours needed to but cut up into chunks - because watching an 18 hour film in one go is a really bad idea.
You don't have 18 hour films for a similar reason why a 90 minute film doesn't get chopped up into 18 episodes that are 5 minutes long. It doesn't work.
It's like trying to eat your month's worth of food in one day. It's not the way it's meant to happen.
The show will grow in cult status as time goes on. Particularly once the awards come flooding in.
Hipsters will hear about the artfulness of Twin Peaks once it's finished airing and suddenly it'll become the in show.
The show will then explode in popularity as other people hear that it is the greatest show ever, and it'll be made available on other networks. It'll gain a new following amongst a generation who never saw the original.
Then many fans will complain how all these new viewers "weren't there the first time round" and who just don't get it because they didn't have to "wait 25 years".
This is my prediction.
Then again, maybe that's just bollocks.
Perhaps Lynch was trying a new experiment with an 18-hour movie split into weekly one-hour doses? Either way, I enjoy looking forward to it each week, and I constantly warn myself not to expect too much to be revealed. Then I can just enjoy the cinema quality. (I'm an apologist and I'm on the DL-fan side more than the straight-up TP-fan.)
I never figured it would be more than these 18 glorious hours. If David Lynch ever makes another feature film, it would be a miracle- albeit one for which I'm holding out hope.

I actually don't want it to end. I'm starting to have an odd feeling of existential dread about it 🙁
If "they" were alowed to use "their own ingredients" the show may continue. It won't be the DL/MF pie then, which is a shame for that is damn good pie !

I am too which is why I keep trying to tune out this thread, but am obsessively drawn back to it, like picking at a festering scab.
It's done folks. It was a one-time deal. I like to think we're watching Lynch's final masterwork.
I kinda get that sense too. His references to all his great works and homages to the classics, and persons in his real life like Bushnell Keeler.
It feels like a testament of sorts. Hope he won't die soon and keeps on producing whatever.
I'm having the time of my life with the Return, but i'm really willing to let it go once its over. I wouldn't enjoy to see it transformed into some sort of self-parody. I would prefer something completely new by DL and MF. I'm curious about what would they do, if they were given the chance to do it.

This season right now imo could be 10 episodes (maybe less) rather than 13 imo.

This IS that film, IMO. By a certain logic, it's actually nine of them.
