I recommend doing this:

• Watch Fire Walk With Me: Make sure this is the theatrical cut which is about 130 minutes long.
  
• Watch The Missing Pieces: This is a collection of deleted scenes from the film. They are allegedly canon now and add some depth to the universe for sure.
  
• Read The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer by Jennifer Lynch.
  
• Read The Autobiography of Special Agent Dale Cooper by Scott Frost.
  
• Read the Access Guide (it might be hard to find and it's not that important, but it is sort of fun)
  
• Read The Secret History of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost which just came out. This is very important, as I have a feeling the information in this book will be referenced or enhance the upcoming season.
  
• If you bought the Blu Ray collection for The Missing Pieces, all the discs contain all sorts of extras. Watch them all, including the Log Lady Intros.
  
• Start looking into fan creations. There are some great musicians doing Badalamenti's works (Silencio, Xiu Xiu, etc.) or making their own mixes of the music on YouTube. There are also fan books, like the awesome Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks by Brad Dukes. There are also fan podcasts, clothing, art, crafts, film reviews, etc. The fandom offers a lot!
  
• Consider attending one of the Twin Peaks Fests, the main one being in North Bend, WA this coming July (tickets on sale in February).
  
• Get hyped for season three!
  
  

Yep, there are three models of recorders seen at various times (and two types of tapes). Pretty easy and cheap to find on eBay if you look. Here's a good site with examples of each - yourprops. I think most people get the necklace from somewhere like here on Amazon. The chain would just need to be replaced with a leather one like in the show.

The most common props I see people posting pictures of are the tape recorders, Great Northern room key, Saturn lamp, best friends necklace, and stuff like the 'Have you seen this man?' flyer or framed Laura pictures. I would also like to get one of the calculators as seen in that link above ('HE DID NOT DO IT').

The holy grail to me would be tracking down the furniture pieces in the Red Room (under the assumption they were also found pieces and not custom made).

I believe the actual listing for the original box set is as follows: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IKH6O3Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_xaW2CbTT4S3M0

The Swedish import could be a comparable edition, but I truly have no idea. The link I provided obviously shows the edition as out of print, with a few third party sellers with copies available.

EBay might be a better bet. Good luck!

> Also is there anything relating to Twin Peaks you can recommend I watch next? Documentaries or any awesome special features I can find on the DVDs?

[On the Air] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiA60FEX4Gw) was created by Frost and Lynch shortly after Twin Peaks ended. It has a few actors that were on TP.

Full of Secrets is a pretty good source. Actually, pretty much exactly what you want. It's a collection of essays focusing on the show, and covers historical context, feminist readings, incest and mythological readings. It's a bit dry, because it's very academic, but also interesting.

Lynch on Lynch is a great book if you want a little more context for David Lynch's overall process. It isn't focused on Twin Peaks, it's focused on his overall career(up to the point of the books publication, which stops at Lost Highway, if I recall correctly).

I have this book and I really like it, even if I haven't tried the recipes yet ;) https://www.amazon.com/Damn-Fine-Cherry-Pie-Recipes/dp/0062495550

And yeah, there's a chapter "How to throw a party inspired by Twin Peaks" ;)

Yep! Here you go! :)
https://www.amazon.com/Damn-Fine-Cherry-Pie-Recipes/dp/0062495550/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1493261847&sr=8-1&keywords=damn+fine+cherry+pie

There's an entire section devoted to doughnuts. As well as a recipe for duck called "Agent Cooper's Ducks on a Lake". I haven't made anything yet but I think the season premiere would be a perfect time to try!

The new book clears up some of that, not in a completely satisfying way but it's better than nothing; there's also a very good reveal that adds much needed clarification to an episode, and is extremely significant to the background of one of the characters.

If you're interested in Lynch's whole career, to date, I highly recommend the book Lynch on Lynch by Chris Rodely.

Your commentary on the reception of the upcoming revival is very similar to my thoughts (and others) regarding FWWM. So many people hated it because it wasn't the resolution they wanted- but how often does life ever give one that perfect end point? Rarely- if ever- dare to say never. This will be similar to that. Some will be lost completely, others will be drawn in further, and some will only consider elements of Lynch's whole to be worthwhile. Cheers.

There's an excellent essay in this book from 1995 which analyses the Twin Peaks online communities during and after the show's original run. A really interesting read!

I think it depends on what you're looking for. Mark Frost is putting out a second book in October that is what I think most people (including myself) thought this one would be, namely the story of what happened to various characters in the 25 years between seasons 2 and 3. This one is a lot more about aliens and the occult, and focuses more on peripheral characters like Douglas Milford (the mayor's brother) and the Bookhouse boys in high school, so if that sounds like your cup of tea, I'd say it's worth it.

It definitely shades this current season differently, but I don't think reading it necessarily tells you much that the season won't (though who knows). I've enjoyed it, but if you're looking for answers about what happened after season 2, I'd say wait for the upcoming one.

It looks like the original score will be released in a couple of weeks. Maybe you'll have more success then?

1. First time I see anyone reading that scene like this. She was checking the coordinates took from Davenport's arm. True, that seems Mr C's primary interest, but to say he is there right now is a huge stretch.
   
   
2. Personally not fond of that theory, but you might really want to read The Secret History Of Twin Peaks ;)

I agree with most of these. If he already collects these Funko POP figures, it'd be a good gift. Otherwise, maybe a TP coffee mug or t-shirt. Or if he does collect figures, these just went on sale: https://www.amazon.com/Action-Figures-Cooper-Palmer-Figure/dp/B01MV20HWI

Don't get me wrong I love figurines, I've got a decent collection of stuff, and of all the funkos these are cool, but just funkos in general I don't get the appeal, but I'm just not into caricature thing.

I do like these though, I think they're made by the funko people: https://www.amazon.com/Action-Figures-Cooper-Palmer-Figure/dp/B01MV20HWI

None of these are original props that were used on set, but they've been sourced or recreated to look as close as possible to the originals.

Yes absolutely! I highly recommend Joseph P Farrell's book on the subject!
https://www.amazon.com/SS-Brotherhood-Bell-Nasas-Majic-12/dp/1931882614

Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks is a very thorough book of interviews of the cast and crew http://www.amazon.com/Reflections-Oral-History-Twin-Peaks/dp/061596883X
And the documentary Secrets from Another Place is awesome as well.

I think this is it. I'm not sure, but it looks the same. It's pretty solid build quality.

Here you go! Pretty sure it was just a tin whistle. https://www.amazon.com/Silver-Clarke-Meg-Tinwhistle-Instrument/dp/B00I3PRV1U

I imagine conversation will still be lively here
We will have a new book to discuss
And hopefully new scenes to ponder when season 3 is released on blu-ray

For years (since before Twin Peaks), people have reported conspicuous and unusual owl encounters/sightings in association with seeing/encountering UFOs and/or "aliens." The theory is that the "aliens" may somehow "mask" their activities in the minds of people who see them, leaving the witnesses with a strange "owl" memory instead of clearly remembering the "alien's" appearance.

Given Maj. Briggs's connection to Project Blue Book, and given the other UFOesque bits of the Twin Peaks mythology, I've assumed that "the owls are not what they seem" was inspired by association. For example: https://www.amazon.com/Messengers-Owls-Synchronicity-UFO-Abductee/dp/0967799570/

I actually got it on Amazon. Click 'See All Buying Options' and there are several listed for sale from third party sellers. The ones listed right now are a bit pricey, but you could do like I did and just check it frequently to see if another gets listed at a more economical price.

Of course you can buy them. https://www.google.pl/search?q=twin+peaks+mug

Edit: Actually all I can find is https://www.amazon.com/11-ounce-Mug-Sheriff-Department/dp/B01B6M0ASC/ . I can't find it in the original color. (Or maybe it's also original color?)

You can also check out the Official Books, 'The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer' as well as 'My Life...My Tapes: The Autobiography of Special Agent Dale Cooper'....There is also a 45 Minute cassette called 'The Diane Tapes' that you can listen to on Youtube. And there is a new book that Mark Frost is writing called 'The Secret History of Twin Peaks' coming out in October that will bridge the gap between season 2 and 3 as well as other things I imagine.

As for other David Lynch films I suggest watching them all in chronological order, but if you want the essentials...(I started to write out what I thought were essential Lynch films and I realized I wrote them all down...so yeah).

I really want to read it now, though it doesn't seem as reliable as maybe it once did?

Amazon link for anyone interested.

Yes it is. There's the "Music from the Limited Series" LP here

and this soundtrack which is the "Limited Event Series Original Soundtrack"

The first one is a comp of the bands that played at Bang Bang and this is the score.

Looks like the easiest place to find it would be in The Essential Wrapped in Plastic, though I haven't searched super hard to see if it's individually available online anywhere.

"movie not found" awesome.

If you really love the series, just buy the movie, it's only $6.

or if you're really that cheap, you could just google the movie title and streaming to find it..

The episode was "Laura's Secret Diary". It's the only episode credited to four writers, because Frost/Peyton/Engels rewrote the whole thing together in a hurry, but they kept Stahl's name on it as well.

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know anything about what's on this release?

Also, are you aware of the other release at Amazon (I just noticed it) - it has the "Bang, Bang" logo on the cover? Same company Rhino, but different ASIN number.

amazon

He actually did contribute new music, you can see here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QDVWLZ

It may not be as much as the original series + FWWM, but he did compose new music. Ambient sounds are far more important in this season.

They are on amazon!, really cool packaging too!

And you can buy it new from Amazon, as well! My pedantic nature makes me feel obligated to mention that.

Indeed :)

"Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes"? :)

It says so in the official promotional description on Amazon.

>While The Secret History of Twin Peaks served to expand the mysteries of the town and place the unexplained phenomena that unfolded there into a vastly layered, wide-ranging history, Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier tells us what happened to key characters in the twenty-five years in between the events of the first series and the second, offering details and insights fans will be clamoring for. The novel also adds context and commentary to the strange and cosmic happenings of the new series. For fans around the world begging for more, Mark Frost’s final take laid out in this novel will be required reading.

This is covered in the book Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks, which I highly recommend to all fans.

Just dropping by to warn everyone that we're in the final third of the rewatch. Fire Walk With Me is not available on Netflix in the USA and The Missing Pieces is hard to find outside of the official box release. Now would be a good time to find a method of watching for when we get to the end of the rewatch. You can get the entire mystery with both the film and TMP here or the film only here. We'll be watching the film on 10/12/16 and TMP on 10/16/16.

This one is like half the price

Well, of course there's the companion The Final Dossier.

Did y'all go buy all the copies off amazon just now? Cause it's $51 now.

I'd like a Dougie Jones prequel. What was that guy's life like before Dale Cooper? Apparently, lots of degenerate gambling and cheating on his wife. Maybe Jade give more than two rides?

After "The Return" ends, on October 31, there's a final book to look forward to: Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier

Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier will be released October 31st, 2017 according to Amazon.

These are cool, but I also had to snag these

Funko Action Figures Twin Peaks Dale Cooper, Laura Palmer, Bob, Log Lady 4 Pack Action Figure https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MV20HWI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XmcgzbAK8HRNZ

I think I finally found it again. It's been awhile since I've seen it. He doesn't directly say he's split, but he does confirm that the other Cooper is part of him and one part is with Bob.

It's from Lynch on Lynch, p. 183:
https://www.amazon.com/Lynch-Revised-Chris-Rodley/dp/0571220185/

Interviewer: So, was Cooper occupied by Bob in the script before you changed it?

Lynch: No, but Coop wasn't occupied by Bob. Part of him was. There are two Coops in there, and the one that came out was, you know, with Bob.

----------------------------------------------------

Here's another quote from the same interview:

INTERVIEWER: Why was Cooper possessed by Bob at the end? It seems like he’s lost it.

LYNCH: Well the thing is he hasn’t been possessed. It’s the doppelgänger thing, the idea of two sides to everyone, he’s really up against himself.

You can get it on the soundtrack, released 8th September.

Lynch: No, but Coop wasn't occupied by Bob. Part of him was. There are two Coops in there, and the one that came out was, you know, with Bob.

i am guessing no. the upcoming mark frost book says it's his "final take".

[They already did!](/s http://www.amazon.com/Twin-Peaks-Entire-Mystery-Blu-ray/dp/B00KCTG4PO) It even comes with Fire Walk With Me's long sought-after deleted scenes.
