Twin Peaks: What You Need To Know For Season 3. You’ve waited 2. 6 years, but your patience is finally about to rewarded. Twin Peaks makes its triumphant return on May 2. Showtime. So what can we expect from this season? Well, given series creator David Lynch’s vagueness, who the hell knows? What we do know is that it will certainly be something “wonderful and strange.”But hey, what’s the point in discussing Twin Peaks without fan theories and predictions, right? That sleepy Washington burg is ground zero for the supernatural, the bizarre, and the comically random.

It’s small town America at both its most wholesome and most depraved. You’ll be in need of a map so you don’t wander off to a point of no return.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me Desmond is responsible for investigating the death of a waitress in in the small Washington state town. When he finds the important. Warning: If you haven’t seen both seasons of Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me and the first five episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return – turn around. David Lynch. TV Episode Questions: ***** WARNING: If you have not seen all of the "Twin Peaks" television episodes and the movie.

So whether you’re a diehard Twin Peaks fan needing a refresher, or a newbie wondering what all the fuss is about in the first place, here are 1. So pour yourself a “damn fine cup of coffee” and start taking notes–preferably into your handheld recorder to send to Diane to report your findings. SPOILER ALERT: We’re covering major plot points from the first 2 seasons of Twin Peaks. We strongly advise watching them before reading. You’ve been warned. 1. Which Cast Members Are Coming Back. Twin Peaks biggest draw will be the show’s principal cast and characters, so here’s who’s returning: Kyle Mac. Lachlan (Agent Dale Cooper), Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer), Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), Sherilyn Fenn (Audrey Horne), Dana Ashbrook (Bobby Briggs), Mädchen Amick (Shelly Johnson), Grace Zabriskie (Sarah Palmer), David Lynch (Gordon Cole), Michael Horse (Deputy Hawk), Harry Goaz (Deputy Andy Brennan), Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran), Peggy Lipton (Norma Jennings), Gary Hershberger (Mike Nelson), Everett Mc.

Gill (“Big” Ed Hurley), Wendy Robie (Nadine Hurley), Richard Beymer (Benjamin Horne), David Patrick Kelly (Jerry Horne), James Marshall (James Hurley), and Russ Tamblyn (Dr. Jacoby). Miguel Ferrer (Albert Rosenfield), Warren Frost (Doc Hayward) and Catherine E. Coulson (The Log Lady) are three particularly notable returnees, given that each has passed away since filming their scenes last year. Other returning members include Walter Olkewicz (Jacques Renault), Phoebe Augustine (Ronette Pulaski), David Duchovny (Agent Denise Bryson), Charlotte Stewart (Betty Briggs), Al Strobel (One- Armed Man), Carel Struycken (The Giant), Marvin “Marv” Rosand (Cook at the Double R Diner), Julee Cruise (The Roadhouse singer), Alicia Witt (Gersten Hayward), Bellina Martin Logan (Louie “Birdsong” Budway), and Andrea Hays (Heidi). The cast also includes Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me alums Harry Dean Stanton (Carl Rodd) and Carlton Lee Russell (Jumping Man). Who’s Not Coming Back. While most cast members are returning, there are several glaring omissions including the following: Lara Flynn Boyle (Donna Hayward), Michael Ontkean (Sheriff Harry S.

Truman), Joan Chen (Josie Packard), Piper Laurie (Catherine Martell), David Bowie (Agent Phillip Jeffries), Chris Mulkey (Hank Jennings), Heather Graham (Annie Blackburne), Michael Anderson (Man From Another Place), Jack Nance (Pete Martell), Don Davis (Major Garland Briggs), Frank Silva (BOB), Eric Da Re (Leo Johnson), and Billy Zane (John Justice Wheeler). The loss of Boyle is palpable, but the Hayward family will be represented by Alicia Witt, who played her younger sister, and her father Doc Hayward (Warren Frost). Anderson’s absence is another bummer, with the actor bowing out over pay disputes. And Ontkean’s absence is particularly jarring: Sheriff Truman was a key part of the show’s appeal given his chemistry opposite Mac. Lachlan. Silva, Nance, Davis, and Bowie have all passed away during the 2. Twin Peaks has been off the air.

Given Silva’s iconic, terrifying performance, one has to wonder how BOB will be represented in season 3–or if he will be at all. Who’s New? Twin Peaks’ third season doesn’t just include returning characters, but a ton of new performers as well. The big- name cast additions that you may have heard about are Amanda Seyfried, Michael Cera, Naomi Watts, Laura Dern, Ernie Hudson, Ashley Judd, Tim Roth, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.

The significance of these notable stars’ respective roles is still unknown as of yet, but few are expected to pop in for more than an episode or two. They’re not the only ones getting in on the fun, of course. Robert Forster, Monica Belluci, Chrysta Bell, Trent Reznor, Eddie Vedder, Jim Belushi, Brent Briscoe, Richard Chamberlain, Jeremy Davies, Candy Clark, Meg Foster, Ernie Hudson, Brett Gellman, Balthazar Getty, Robert Knepper, David Koechner, Matthew Lillard, Josh Mc. Dermott, Jane Levy, Sarah Paxton, Sky Ferreira, John Savage, and Tom Sizemore. For the full cast list–and it’s a long one–check out the revival’s IMDB page. Given Lynch’s refusal to release any plot details, we don’t know which characters the new cast members are playing, save the following: Forster will play the new Sheriff, who may, in fact, be Truman’s brother.

Lynch mainstay Laura Dern is rumored to play Diane, Cooper’s offscreen confident and recipient of copious microcassette tapes, though we’ll just have to wait and see to know for sure. The Legacy of Laura Palmer. If you’re unfamiliar with Twin Peaks (in which case, start bingeing…NOW), you may have a few questions; principally, who was Laura Palmer? Her character was in many ways all things to all people. Depending on who knew her, she was a star pupil, the homecoming queen, and someone who gave back to her community through her charity work. But she had a dark side too: a cocaine habit, a propensity for abusive relationships, and a career as a prostitute. Her conflicted and contradictory life is what her made her shocking murder so hard to solve: what drove the character to such dark ends, and who wanted her dead?

The “Who killed Laura Palmer” storyline drove the first season, only to be solved midway through season 2, revealing that she was killed by her father Leland, who was possessed by the evil spirit BOB. If Lynch had his way, we may have never known who killed Laura, and the pressure to reveal the murderer made the second half of season 2 a slog. Palmer will remain a focal point in the new season, with actress Sheryl Lee (Laura) and Ray Wise (Leland) reprising their roles, presumably for more revelations in the Black Lodge. It is Happening Again” 2.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me on IMDb: movies, TV, and celebs.

Years Later“It is happening again.” That’s the tagline included in early promo clips and posters for the upcoming third season of Twin Peaks.

Even Fire Walk With Me‘s Deleted Scenes Are Important to the New Twin Peaks. Warning: If you haven’t seen both seasons of  Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me and the first five episodes of Twin Peaks: The Return – turn around. David Lynch warned us. Weeks before the revival of his surrealist soap opera, Variety reported that Fire Walk With Me would be “very important” to understanding Twin Peaks: The Return. Watch The Barbarian And The Geisha Online. Five episodes in, it’s clear Lynch wasn’t kidding.

Even fans of the original series who plowed through the maligned second season – overcoming Confederate flags and pine weasels – have found themselves baffled by references to Phillip Jeffries, the Blue Rose, or the Owl Cave Ring. Fire Walk With Me, we’ve since learned, isn’t just suggested viewing to understand the 1. Perhaps it wasn’t wise, from a commercial standpoint, to hinge a massively marketed TV series on a divisive, 2. But here we are. Far less seen than the 1. Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces, a feature- length collection of extended and deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me.

To use an imperfect metric, The Missing Pieces has just 2,2. IMDb to Fire Walk With Me’s 6. Lynch edited and directed The Missing Pieces, which premiered in Los Angeles in 2. Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery” box set. The “film” (for lack of a better phrase) flows like a long- lost, slightly disjointed episode of Twin Peaks, complete with Angelo Badalamenti score and Lynchian sound design.

They’re not, in other words, the rough DVD extras you might imagine when you hear the phrase “deleted scenes.” This is a polished work released by Lynch just one year prior to principal photography on the new series began. The 3. 0- odd scenes here don’t tell a story so much as render Fire Walk With Me – and, now, Twin Peaks: The Return – more coherent. They soften Lynch’s post- ABC Twin Peaks work and provide pleasures all their own. Twin Peaks can be an exhausting place to get lost. It’s all so very complicated, this universe of time loops and doppelgangers, demonic possessions and goofy imposters, reboots and prequels. Even the goddamn deleted scenes are important.

Viewers who find themselves this deep in the muck may as well wade a few feet further. Watch Death Do Us Part Torent Free on this page. Below, I outline five reasons why the deleted scenes of The Missing Pieces are worth your time. More Bowie. In 2. David Bowie should sell itself. Bowie appears in Fire Walk With Me as Phillip Jeffries, an FBI agent who returns after a years- long exile.

Bowie stumbles childlike into a bureau office and begins to mutter about someone named Judy (a character never referenced again in the Twin Peaks canon). The film then cuts to a nightmarish gathering of Twin Peaks’ dark forces: Bob, The Man from Another Place, and Mrs. Tremond and her grandson, among others. Bowie’s dialogue continues as voiceover, though it’s nearly indecipherable amidst Bob’s cackles and Lynch’s staticky sound design.

Bowie then vanishes from the FBI office, without fanfare, after little more than a minute on screen. The scene is so choppy and short that most viewers can’t get over Bowie’s jarring southern accent before he disappears forever. Perhaps the most incoherent passage in all of Fire Walk With Me, the Bowie sequence has come to hold real significance in the new episodes of Twin Peaks. We’ve heard repeated references to Agent Jeffries in these first five episodes; evil Cooper even claims to have spent the past 2. The Missing Pieces offers an extended version of Bowie’s scene at the FBI offices and two deleted scenes of him in Argentina (which seems germane to last night’s cutaway to Buenos Aires). These scenes run more than four minutes, and together they offer a far more intelligible portrait of this character than what’s seen in Fire Walk With Me. Twenty- seven years after they were cut for runtime considerations, these scenes should surely be seen by those invested in the new series.

Electricity, The Owl Ring, Garmonbozia. Twin Peaks is a universe of signs and symbols whose meanings remain just out of reach. From black coffee to creamy garmonbozia, the emblems of this world tantalize both its inhabitants and its obsessive viewers alike. The Missing Pieces provides a generous dose of the figures and objects that’ve come to define much of this world. One scene – the aforementioned gathering of Black Lodge favorites – runs a full three minutes longer in Pieces. Lynch boiled this and Bowie’s scenes down in Fire Walk With Me into a muddled, surrealist soup.

Here, we see them as standalone sequences, freed of the dictates of a theatrical run- time. This scene takes place “above a convenience store,” a reference to a dream Dale Cooper had in episode two of the original series. Led by The Man from Another Place, the characters discuss garmonbozia, the Owl Ring, and electricity, all of which have factored into the first five episodes of The Return. It seems likely that this location, which appears adjacent or in some way connected to the Black Lodge, will appear again in the new series.

In Fire Walk With Me, Lynch smothers the scene with Bowie’s histrionic voiceover. Here, it spills in every which direction, unhurried, for nearly five minutes. The result is excessive, and essential.“Is it future, or is it past?”David Lynch doesn’t seem to much care what made it into Fire Walk With Me and what didn’t. To him, it’s all canon. Consider the line “Is it future, or is it past?” from the second episode of The Return. Mike (a. k. a. The One- Armed Man) poses this question to Cooper in the Black Lodge.

Twenty- five years ago, The Man from Another Place said these exact words to Cooper, also in the Black Lodge. You wouldn’t know this, though, unless you’ve seen The Missing Pieces; the exchange was cut from the final film.

Several writers have cited the line as a neat summation of the Twin Peaks phenomenon. Here’s a show, after all, that deals in time loops and is now toying with viewers just as it did 2. So leave it to Lynch to make a callback to a deleted scene from a 2.

With 1. 4 episodes to go, it seems very possible The Return will drop more references like this one to The Missing Pieces. More Evil Cooper. Twin Peaks‘ second season ended on a truly unsettling note: the birth of evil Dale Cooper.

Lynch, we learn in The Missing Pieces, wrote Fire Walk With Me as not just as a prequel to Twin Peaks but as a quasi- sequel as well. In this collection, we find two scenes that take place after the events of the show’s cancellation.

Chief among them is an extension of the “How’s Annie?” gut- shot that closed the show.
