The horse was the most frightening image from Twin Peaks

My theory is that it is represents an abuser about to commit sexual assault.

I don’t think we see complex imagery like this on television shows anymore.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat upon him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

I need to rewatch the series. I actually never made it all the way to the end of Season 2

I just started watching this the other day. I’m 2 episodes in. WOW this is some really good shit for 90s network television. Feels like showtime or something.

Please no spoilers. But do they revealed who murdered her at the end of season 1.

Can someone explain the entire 3rd season of Twin Peaks to me?

by Anonymousreply 16April 8, 2025 6:37 PM

That was Joan Chen’s character, R15.

We never really saw the likes of it on TV before either, OP.

One of my favorite scenes from the series.

I love the Log Lady.

I can explain some of the third season of Twin Peaks, R16. Lynch demanded extra episodes/cash and then could not deliver a story to fill them. To start, he threw in fifteen minutes per episode of credits and musical guests. Then he added equal parts constant introduction of new characters and repeated application of favorite old characters in ugly settings, caught in locked rooms or trapped in brain damaged shells of themselves, etc. Then he spent all of the effects budget on a flashback episode and had to use interns to animate the finale. Agent Cooper fucks Diane, Mark Frost is AWOL, the end.

Bobby Briggs looked even better, that was one saving grace it had.

by Anonymousreply 23July 11, 2025 12:51 AM

Season 3 is more in line with the movie. It’s unfiltered Lynch without network restraint.

by Anonymousreply 24July 11, 2025 12:55 AM

Dana Ashbrook lucked into the role of Bobby as he was necessary for every iteration of the story.

Bob’s appearance scared me so badly I couldn’t walk down the hall of my dorm to the bathroom alone for a week!

I wasn't much of a Twin Peaks fan back in the 90s but God I love Season 3: The Return. I think it's my favorite work by Lynch

by Anonymousreply 28July 11, 2025 1:08 AM

It was Ames. Palmer who saw the horse, in the series and in the movie, IIRC. Some have said it’s a vision she has while Leland drugs her.

Lynch has to get his horseshit somewhere….

by Anonymousreply 30July 11, 2025 1:11 AM

The ceiling fan is scarier than the horse. And the record player too, for that matter.

Laura in the Black Lodge was scary too.

R21 I do not agree. The whole show was an argument against its own existence. And the existence of all reboot type series.

By and large most of the old favorites look terrible, have fallen into addiction, depression, and most are not in a good place.

When we see James, he does an uncomfortable reprise of the song he did in the original series. Using the original track.

An overweight, pathetic Audrey does her dreamy dance from season 1. Except this time it's more like a nightmare.

Dale Cooper goes back in time, and inadvertently negates the entire series.

I think the very end, with Cooper asking "What year is this?" and Laura screaming is the existentially bleakest moment in television history.

It's brilliant.

by Anonymousreply 35July 11, 2025 1:44 AM

Agent Cooper being so stupid that he has to be taught how to urinate is not brilliant.

This thread has convinced me I need to watch The Return

by Anonymousreply 37July 11, 2025 10:28 AM

I (partly re-)watched all of Twin Peaks during the Covid lockdowns.

It's hard for me to put into words why but the series, especially Season 3, managed to disturb me at a fundamental, subconscious level. It's really ingenious, Lynch truly was a genius.

The series as a whole has its flaws, but I don't think there will ever be a TV series that has such a profound impact on me again. I'm waiting a few years to rewatch it again.

by Anonymousreply 38July 11, 2025 10:47 AM

The first two seasons it was a soap. The third season was a Lynch movie, not a soap. I preferred it soapy.

by Anonymousreply 39July 11, 2025 1:00 PM

R38 its the existential dread. Nothing was pretty, everything had sinister undertones. "What year is this?" just fucking KILLS me. I mean... man.

Twin Peaks: The Return is NOT disappointing

by Anonymousreply 45July 13, 2025 2:01 PM

It depends on what you like. It’s definitely not the same in tone or concept as the first two seasons.

by Anonymousreply 46July 13, 2025 2:04 PM

I thought the horse was goofy in an otherwise terrifying episode. The Return has some incredibly moving scenes and flashes of brilliance but it certainly isn’t for everyone.
