Any of you guys watched "The Prisoner"? The original version, that is.
Over and over. Got the DVD boxed set (before blu-ray's).
"I am not a number! I am a FREE MAN!" Still gives me chills.
And that Danger Man (McGoohan) - talk about a creative co-creator. Not a bad actor either. 😉

If they choose to make it so- the world of Twin Peaks can be much more than Laura Palmer's story. So many characters, so much history and fantastic new mysteries to explore. From the more conventional to the surreal, it's a magnificent sandbox for writers and directors to play in. I for one would like to see a "Mark Frost Season."
In my humble opinion the finale was so intense, twisted, mindblowing, you name it, that continuing could be even too much for... well the fricking geniuses Lynch and Frost! I mean, don't get me wrong, I hope and I pray (and if it doesn't work I will create Lynch's tulpa to do it) for any sort of cinematic follow up but the weight of that task would be enormous. But maybe they have ideas in their minds, they surely have! So my advice to them: get your asses back to work gentelemen, cause what you gaved us didn't feel like the end. Cliffhanger on the SEASON finale not end of story!

Wasn't the last half of Season 2 the Mark Frost season?
Got to ask, does that argument suggest that people who agree with it should never have watched the season? Surely season 2 gave as many answers as season 3. Did we need a season 3? Not really, if we're going by Lynchian standards, but season 3 has created new questions. As someone said on these forums, episode 17 feels like season 3's closure, episode 18 feels like a new tone and chapter to Twin Peaks, perhaps one that focuses more directly on the central characters. I think there's room to explore further. Doesn't have to be 18 episodes.

If you are referring to me, didn't realize it was an argument. Thought I asked a question.

Almost finished with The Secret History. WOWOWOW.
A lot of the big questions get answered there--not talking about the discrepancies--in this conversation between Col. Dougie Milford and Major Briggs.

By the way--this "proves Brandy's point" that the last half of season 3 was indeed the Mark Frost season.

It was a reply to the Original Thread point; we don't mean more because enough has been resolved, and this is a good ending. Season 2 had resolved a lot of season 1, and had a strong ending, yet I imagine those who say (and I've seen it said across the net) that the finale answered enough, why do people want anymore? My point is to that argument (as its a contestable point, not pointing at someone being argumentative by nature), that you can always argue that enough is enough, but sometimes more brings more, just as season 3 came from the ashes of the unforgettable dark cliffhanger of season 2.

Pretty sure that last half was the result of being forced to reveal Laura's killer in two mid-season episodes with production deadlines to keep cranking out episodes even with no remaining mystery or purpose. ABC caused the awful Season 2 storylines.
I'd watch Twin Peaks Season 4 if David Lynch wasn't directing. Everyone who watched Peaks in '89 and '90 saw the good, bad and ugly of that approach. Most of us found good parts to love even when Lynch wasn't involved.
