  1. Saving this though I don't know when I'll be able to watch it.

    I'm two hours in and this is fucking brilliant. I definitely theorized a lot of this before, but never this coherently.

    About an hour in haha. I find the idea of it all being a meta commentary about watching TV and film a little disappointing, but now that he's brought it up there's so much evidence to support it haha. And the great thing about Twin Peaks is that if I don't want to have that interpretation, I don't have to

    I haven’t watched the video yet but I’m a firm believer that all art being interpreted however the person experiencing it is valid, even if it’s different than the intention of the creator.

    I just finished it.

    I’ve seen plenty of Twin Peaks analysis videos but never one so thorough. As Dino just pointed out, all art can be interpreted however the viewer wants so it would be silly to say that this is the definition interpretation of Twin Peaks. But god damn is it compelling and I really do think he’s shined a light on Lynch’s intent. The last twenty minutes in particular are so great.

    some of it is stuff we’ve touched on before or seen in other theories but never with such clarity and evidence to back it up imo

    Looks like I'll have to set aside some time for this. I've had like a million different thoughts about Twin Peaks go through my head but I'm too scatterbrained to ever coherently put them together. Interested to see if his thoughts are similar to mine.

    I took a break at 2 and a half hours lol. Ill get back to it later. Some of his theories click more than others, but I think I’d be disappointed if he hit every note 100% tbh.
     
  8. slept a little through some of this and now I feel crazy lol

    i don't like his lynch impersonation voice

    but this is very comprehensive so far

    Lol yeah definitely made it hard to do work today- you have to put a lot of focus on what he’s saying or you get pretty lost.

    I don’t agree with every point he’s making but this is fascinating so far. Thanks for posting the link!

    In regards to the last twenty minutes

    when Naido is telling Coop he can’t go to door (episode) 15 cause we would be getting closure too fast and that he had to go to door (episode) 3 I was like damn ok I am completely on board now

    Watched all of it. Some real good stuff in there. He didn’t touch on a lot of The Return and some of his points were stretches but im cool with it. It left me wanting to rewatch it, such a damn good show. I think its amazing in that it can’t be explained away, even with a 4-hour long analysis.

    First, when it ended it made me laugh because there’s links to his videos on Prometheus and Alien: Covenant that I posted a while back in that thread defending those movies, hahaha. Still love Prometheus, it’s a masterpiece.

    Second, I thought it was extremely interesting and well thought out and explained. I can agree with probably 70% of it in that it’s a pretty damn compelling interpretation that seemingly has as hard “evidence” as there could be in a show like this. But of course, it means something different to everyone.

    Thanks again for posting the link, I needed that after the long days I’ve had lately!

    I'm like two hours in and it's blown my mind already. I feel like it's pretty convincing. I absolutely love the central idea.

    I'm down with pretty much everything he said and honestly it's made me appreciate the show even more. It's crazy.

    I watched this and it touched on and expanded lot of loose ideas I've had over the years. Really good stuff.

    I think he’s a bit off in his thesis is, that TP is about how “tv rots your brain.” The meta elements still apply but I feel its more likely Lynch wanted to explore love vs. fear (not film vs tv), and the third season a product of existing in a culture addicted to fear.

    sup? Supporter

    Yo, I’ve been reading the comic series Gideon Falls. It has a ton of TP similarities and y’all would love it. Vol 3 just came out.
