What is people thinking about this one?

https://medium.com/@onantiad/episodes-17-18-of-twin-peaks-the-return-are-meant-to-be-watched-in-sync-81352ce38e8

I just read it and loved it. Maybe there are some missconceptions here and there, but absolutely dig the specific theory about Sheriff Station scene being the absolute last scene in the show.

Also, i made a pic a few days that fits pretty well with the proposed timing, i think.

I don't buy it. How does Cooper saying "The past dictates the future" AFTER he's knows he's already won make sense? Also, why is Diane returning from the alternate timeline but not Cooper? Finally, the writer even admits the episodes don't sync up in parts. Do we think Lynch can't execute his own idea?

About the sync part, i forgot he said the specific theory related to the timing was from a previous person.  So, thats the part i like, not the sync one.

About your other points, yeah, that was precisely the kind of things i wanted to read 🙂

One interesting thing is that there are things in episode 17 that are only otherwise in the infamous episode 8 (Fireman stuff, etc). 1+7=8

Maybe sync 8 and 17?

Thanks so much for providing this link.

I would say that the odds against those parallels in Parts 17 and 18 synchronizing so well being accidental - and explaining the ending of Twin Peaks so well - are truly astronomical.  It also means that things like the loooong scenes of driving, which seemed pointless and self-indulgent at first, were necessary for the synchronization.  =:-O

Maybe Lynch gave us truer ending than any of us here have thought for the last week.  We just didn't realize we had to watch the last two episodes side-by-side!  😉

And, of course, it would also mean, sadly, that this is truly the end of Twin Peaks.  BOB gone.  Judy gone.  Richard and Linda triumphant.

Done!

P.S.  Did you read the link in the article to the David Foster Wallace piece?  That's worth a read, too.  😉

I just did it and it's quite unbelievable. It is 100% deliberate and there are even a few jokes peppered in there. It looks off to begin with but then the sound effects synchronise perfectly, the soundtrack seems to be shared between both episodes and then the editing starts to synchronize, even the acting at times looks like characters are responding to what's going on in the other window.

Naido seems to be reacting to Diane's experience the whole way through and it seems that Josie Packard is a Chalfont / Tremond. Perhaps Judy really is her sister. 

Also Andy tells us that My Prayer is VERY IMPORTANT so I have the feeling that we need to watch episode 8 at the same time as well.

A tri-synchronization!  I love it!

I just read through the whole thing and, assuming the syncs are correct, that's damn amazing.

Yeah, I wish I had a way to watch them side-by-side, but I don't know how to do that. Dammit!  >:-(

If you have a version that's playable on your computer, open up two separate players, such as Quick time or VLC, then open each episode, fiddle about with pause, play and so on until the credits line up, then you're good to go.

You can obtain playable versions from (ahem) "alternative sources". 😉
