Incredible analysis CPF, you just might really be solving all the questions. The absolute madman, and great quality vids too, thanks for the smart and funny content.
I think part of the overall confusion is the series may straddle both timelines with little to no indication... some scenes occur where Laura was killed, others where she disappeared. For an example (just an example I make no claim as to which is which) what if Audrey married the accountant in the disappeared timeline, and an insane asylum in the death timeline? What if Coopers actions are what is causing all this confusion, time jumps, noodle eating out of sync, people shifting seats at the Double R etc.... kind of a ripple effect where the people involved all feel confusion over the transition between the 'official' and 'unofficial' versions.
Mr. C could have been in a different timezone than Diane... or his burner phone is programmed to a different timezone to mask his location e.g. location spoofing.
That's actually a very good point...if he was in the Central zone, it would basically work out, even if the minutes don't match exactly, since they never give any indication of where the Dutchman's is located. Good call.

I love the fact that you investigate all possibilities. The fact that a date may be a mistake is included in them. And you acknowledge our human proclivity for finding patterns where they may be none. Still, you have uncovered real things that I think were likely Lynch’s intention. Amazing job, truly. Oh, and your videos are also hilarious.
Re: Andy's watch, as a collector myself I can tell you that's a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date, Ref. 1500 (c 1959-1960). Interestingly, you can notice the crown is sticking out when it should be screwed down tight to the case, which means either the crown tube threads are worn out or prop dept forgot to screw it back down after setting the time/date. They sell for about $3500-8500 USD depending on condition and specific dial variation; Andy's in plain stainless with smooth bezel and silver stick dial is the most common variant plus poor condition so put it on the lower end of that spectrum. Also given it's a vintage watch c1960 maybe he inherited it? EDIT: I spent a couple decades dealing in vintage timepieces as well, including providing some for Hollywood productions. From what I've heard talking to propmasters and others in the industry, it's also very possible that's Harry Goaz's own personal watch.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks And I'm not being totally serious either as far as that goes. In any case I think it's info of interest to fans, even if just trivial. However knowing Lynch and his eye to detail and meaning, that watch was carefully selected (along with everything else "important" enough to get specific closeups throughout the series). Nothing is random or left to chance. I will guarantee you Andy's Rollie was specifically picked or at least specifically approved -- even if it is Goaz's personal timepiece -- and that in itself gives it some greater meaning within the universe than just having any old random watch on there.
ive watched this series more times than id like to admit. i cant express how much i appreciate the goal of trying to put all the pieces on the table so we can better draw our own conclusions, rather than, say, making a single video that is over four hours long where you try to cram all of the pieces into a single objective truth, and then at least one follow up that is over an hour long. you know, hypothetically.
No matter how definitive a theory is, no one's saying you have to agree with it. That's the beautiful thing about Lynch - two different people can have two different interpretation. Say what you want about Twin Perfect's analysis but fact is, his argument was cohesive...no matter how "right" or "wrong" it is. He simply had a thesis and he stuck to it with evidence to back up his interpretation...it does not at all mean that there is no other interpretation.
@@chrisjfox8715but also there are multiple layers to the show operating on different levels of comprehension. For example, only those initiated so-to-speak in the esoteric will perceive the underlying truth behind it.
@@neotek303 you're right but my point still stands. Twin Perfect literally said multiple times that other people's interpretations of those layers was valid if they so chose. He just happen to have an interpretation of his own that was comprehensive - he was not at all arguing that everyone else and any other layers to it were wrong.
Thank you for discussing Twin Peaks! The first time I watched season 3, I assumed that Cooper was lost in time...or that he couldn’t remember how many times he and Carrie had made it to this point...before the loop resets. Now I think there are multiple universes and alternate timelines...as well as time travel/jumping between the timelines. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I look forward to more deep dives into Twin Peaks!
All your 4 Twin Peaks explanation videos make the most sense. I had my own theories and also spend hours on Reddit to find something that can explain almost everything, but now that I came across your content I can make peace with Twin Peaks. Well done!
Wow. I have to watch this again. Fascinating observations. I need to watch season 3 again with this stuff in mind. Your production values in this one are pretty good. I enjoyed the way you put yourself in front of the Palmer house and in the red room speaking backward. Nice. I wonder if there would be anything to gain by re-cutting everything in season 3 into chronological order...? I smell a weekend project coming on! Perhaps I should grab my laptop and get away for the weekend. Does Fawlty Towers have a room available...?
I really wanted to film the end bit at an actual pay phone, but the one remaining near me that I knew of turned out, on closer inspection, to be missing the actual phone, with just the booth structure still there. Bloody "progress." What's the harm of just leaving them there for emergencies? It's not like cell phones never die.
Your videos are so eye-opening and perceptive... What keen attention to detail. I missed so much obvious stuff while watching Season 3 it's not even funny.
About "I'll see you at the curtain call", I think that's an extremely odd thing for Cooper to say to her. The curtain call is what happens at the end of a play, when the actors come out onto the stage as themselves, break the fourth wall, and have an authentic interaction with the audience. I took this to mean that when they next meet, they will be their real selves, indicating that everything that went before was perhaps scripted. Also, I'm so glad you mentioned the Rolex. My best theory is that Lucy bought it for him with the paternity money that a court made Dick pay to her.
I know the historic use of the phrase "curtain call." It seemed to me an obvious reference in this instance to Coop literally emerging from behind the curtain. It also seems symbolically saying "at the end." I was joking about the Rolex. It's a funny detail, but I don't actually think it's a great mystery in need of explanation.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks My theory about the Rolex is that it's Andy's prized possession, left to him by a late uncle. The only problem is that the date feature doesn't work.
I always try and live by the philosophy of Mike Bordin, drummer for Faith No More, who once said "I take my craft seriously, but I try not to take myself seriously." I try to get all my facts straight, but if it's not fun to watch, what's the point?
Yo! Somehow only stumbled across this channel yesterday, though I watched The Return as it aired. Love the way you stylized your videos, the way you present the ideas and work yourself into some of the shots actually reminds me of a "behind the scenes" style tv show with a host presenting the episode as opposed to a DIY TH-cam project. The way you present your ideas about the show is very concise and understandable, not overly long and bloated like some of the other TP deep dive series tend to be. Always enjoy hearing a new person's perspective on the happenings inside of the return. Great work, hope you're still working on creative stuff be it TH-cam vids or your own short films or whatever
First of all I'm loving these vids bro, good work. Secondly, how you ended this video was genius Also, thirdly, I'm quite sure that any time/date inconsistencies are deliberate. I wouldn't be so confident saying that about any director other than Lynch. There's a method to his madness
Everyone says this, but I've never seen an actual reason for such assurance. Small errors and problems seep into everything, especially large-scale projects. Lynch is brilliant, but he's not superhuman.
Do you plan on revisiting The Return at all in future videos? I've been rewatching these videos a lot and I really love your insights. With so much content packed into the 18 episodes of the return, I feel like there's still so much left on the table. I'd love to see you tackle some more themes in the show, no matter how small.
I finished with this series years ago. I really didn't have anything else I felt I needed to say, and there's lots of other projects waiting in the wings that need my attention. Maybe I'll revisit it if there ends up being more Twin Peaks, but I feel pretty satisfied with the level of coverage I've done.
Just noticed that in the Ed Eating Noodles scene had a sign above the window that read Frame Straightening, right before the visual glitch was fixed in one frame, or "Straightened out"
Once again, you’re the greatest! Two reasons: 1. Your interpretations are spot on with my own. 2. Men at Work! (I was all, “This guy managed to fit two of my favorite fucking things together seamlessly!”)
The funny thing is, I had a totally different song in my head with that lyric when I conceived this. Now I'm wondering what the song I was thinking of is actually called, because I haven't been able to find it and wonder where I heard it. I obviously misheard the lyric.
To me, it's sounds (in my head, anyway) like "it's a mistake...yah yah yah yah, it's a mistake." It's probably in a movie; hell, it's probably in a movie I own and have seen enough times to have memorized just that one little part of the song, but searching for "It's a mistake" and "lyrics" just gets me one result. It worked, anyway, but it bugs I can't remember where I heard the other one.
I know exactly what you mean. I’ve seen so many movies, listened to so much music and read so many books that I often times struggle to suss out original thoughts from random references. I bet if I could hear the melody I would be able to figure it out.
The tune is EXTREMELY eighties, and is probably from a film somewhere around 84. It's not Ghostbusters, The Goonies, The Terminator, or Back to the Future.
That's actually a traffic light outside my neighborhood. In retrospect, I should have shot it from a slightly different angle so it didn't look like I'd just used the shot from the show.
I think your advice to not sweat the small stuff is the best advice. One can go insane when one tries to make sense of all the continuity mistakes. Or maybe they mostly aren't continuity mistakes, but deliberate choices relating to a scene but not to the whole, because Twin Peaks is an elaborate dream anyway. Also, Matt, I think your acting is damn fine. EDIT: forgotten to write that The Return (as opposed to Fire Walk With Me) feels like there are pieces missing, probably in parts deliberately, for example to give Mark Frost the chance to fill in the gaps as he did with his Final Dossier. So maybe we won't get a 4th season, but something like The Return: The Missing Pieces.
There's acting in this? A Missing Pieces feature for season three would be awesome, though I question how many there were. The fact that it didn't come out on the blu-ray makes me doubt we'll ever see it officially.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Forgive me if I misread "There's acting in this?" as not being sarcastic, when I say: yes, sure, it's not world class acting, but the way you play your part of the dialogue, when Twin Peaks characters remark on your explanations, and in this video especially the ending where you play Mr. C's character, I found it entertaining to watch.
Another mistake I noticed (I don't think it is in this video but I could be wrong) is that in Episode 9 when Bad Cooper texts Diane "around the dinner table the conversation is lively" -she receives it not only in ALL CAPS but with a comma and a period ('AROUND THE TABLE, THE CONVERSATION IS LIVELY.")
I think because we're watching snippets from different iterations of the loop. The show Dark is based on a similar concept but can't say more as it may spoil it. If you like TP you'll probably like Dark.
You mention Donnie Darko around the 16 minute mark. Both DD and The Return involve time travel and the creation of an alternate timeline around October 2nd. What is the significance of that date?
I don't think there is one. Donnie Darko starts near the beginning of October so it ends near Halloween and there is therefore an excuse to have Frank in the rabbit costume. I don't think there is any alternate timeline near October in Twin Peaks...Coop creates one in February of 1989, but I concluded the discrepancies in September were just the result of hard-to-read handwriting.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Doesn't Bad Coop step thru the portal at Jack Rabbit's Palace on October 2nd, the same date that Donnie returns to at the end of that film?
@@liamshanley_21 I chalk that up to the simple fact that autumn has a mystique about it, due to both the presence of Halloween and the gradually darkening and cooling days. It's certainly my favorite time of the year.
Literally wouldn't time zones explain a two hour difference though on texting, also since andys son is re-incarnated marlon brando he MUST make bank or is an actor anyway since he ACTS like him lol
Great video, as all your other videos! ^-^ But I do have one gripe with this one. Your theory suggests that scenes are presented to us out of order and time flows normal for all the characters. There's a strong possibility of there being more than one dreams (apart from the Odessa world) and if that's the case, time being more compressed in some and more diluted in others can be the case. For example, what happens in one scene in a matter of seconds can have affects in another place, playing out in days. Space does vary unnaturally as well. Jerry being lost for example. He sets out on foot from Twin Peaks and ends up in Jackson Hole, that's nearly 900 miles! So, space-time in this series is far more wibbly wobbly timey wimey (as the great doctor would put it) than we first anticipated.
Also, why would BOB attack and ultimately let go Ronette if Laura wasn't there? I don't think Cooper goes to Twin Peaks in the official version at all.
@@xyttra I think BOB/Leland was already doing promiscuous stuff even before he attacked Laura. IMO he just so happened to "let loose" on her on the same day. Or maybe he got angry because he was expecting Laura to be there and when he saw she wasn't, he punished Ronette. And The Final Dossier explains that Coop went to Twin Peaks iirc in the new Official Version. ^_^ But, that's just based on my memory. It's definitely hard to keep everything straight!
He definitely goes to Twin Peaks as described in The Final Dossier, and Ronette was found wandering around injured just as before. BOB went to the cabin expecting to find Laura, but she wasn't there. It's not as if Laura was his only victim; he'd already killed Teresa Banks.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks He killed Theresa Banks because he found out she was working with Laura. He couldn't risk Laura finding out and Theresa did figure out he was Laura's father. Changing the past stuff almost always leads to continuity errors and Frost, apparently chose the easy way. I'm willing to accept Cooper would go to Twin Peaks one way or another because it's basically his fate. Every road he can take has to take him there. Also Cooper not going to Twin Peaks was just a small portion of my point.
I know. It was just the portion for which I had an immediate, concrete answer. And it's not beyond the pale to think that Leland/BOB would have attacked Ronette in a rage, demanding to know where Laura was. After all, he attacks Maddy in a rage simply because she's going home again...she didn't know anything about who killed Laura.
The misplaced "One Year Later" title card does help the Jeffries scenes make more sense in FWWM. The one thing is... doesn't it also mean that Cooper is only investigating Desmond's disappearance a week before the Palmer murder and Desmond has been missing for nearly a year before anyone looked into it? In the scene with Cooper and Kiefer Sutherland's character, Sutherland does make it sound like he's been missing for awhile when he says that he liked Desmond for having his own MO. I'm honestly willing to let it slide since Desmond's character only exists because Kyle MacLachlan only committed to five days of filming. The Deer Meadow scenes also add a lot of weight to Cooper and Truman's intro scene in the Pilot - when Cooper makes a point of saying that the FBI is in charge and sometimes small town lawmen don't like that. Harry is cool with it, but the sheriff of Deer Meadow sure wasn't. Plus, it's fun to imagine that it was actually Cooper that punched out the sheriff in The Missing Pieces.
No...in the original script, the scenes of Cooper going to Deer Meadow happened before the Jeffries scene, and before that title card. That area of the film got really changed around in the edit.
just a random thought here, since it seems some ideas from other unreleased DL projects were used in s3: There was this concept used in the script for Ronnie Rocket, where a scream was used to sort of ...reset a multiverse.
There's also a lot of ideas which feel like they might have originally been intended for Mulholland Drive back when it was meant to be a series...an amnesiac pursued by assassins, for example. The Mitchum brothers also look rather similar to the Castigliani brothers. Audrey has an existential awakening during a perfomance at a nightclub. Given that MD was originally conceived as a Peaks spin-off, it seems fitting, in a way.
Andy bought a few shares in Nadine's drape runner company back in the 90s just to make her happy, and that made him rich enough to buy the Rolex. At least that's what I'm going with.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks You bet! I write for 25yl focussing on tp's other-than-human characters. I made a video version of one of the articles you might like: th-cam.com/video/CyO0HtCYBSE/w-d-xo.html
I find it aesthetically interesting that your calendrical timeline coincides with the days leading up to and during Allhallowtide, the three day christian holiday of the departed which coincides with Halloween, and that you placed the final episode particularly on All Souls' Day.
Whether it's intentional or not, the @ thing is very interesting. At the very least it demonstrates an effective, dependable pattern for the pacing of scenes where extended tension leads to what ends up being a potent climax. @ (253 Time and Time Again - Twin Peaks: The Return)
@Corn_Pone_Flicks Oh, I didn't think you had reversed it. I should've been clearer. I was wondering if it was a reversed shot in the show. I'm probably just used to seeing some characters occasionally run "backwards" haha
Dude... I already thought that shit was a mistake the very moment I seen it again a few days ago. I could hear him mouthing the date as if he was improvising a flub. When I seen it written I distinctly thought he wrote the wrong date, cuz it didn't seem right. It's absolutely a mistake. You got it right.
Thanks for the entertaining and insightful videos! Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere, but I'm surprised that I can't seem to find anything discussing it. Hawk finds pages that had been torn from Laura's diary in the men's room, and they describe the dream that Laura had in FWWM, where Annie told her that she was with the Good Dale, and said to write it in her diary. But, the dream happened after she'd given her diary to Harold for safe keeping, which she does because she discovers that pages have been torn out. Does this imply that Hawk and Truman are in a different timeline than FWWM? Or was it just a mistake?
I think it's just a case of FWWM not showing everything that happened that week. We never see her with Dr. Jacoby or Josie, and for that matter we never see her have or transcribe her dream of Dale in the diary she gives Harold. We know these things all happened; the film just doesn't act like a checklist.
When did the messages change? The times don't match, but the actual text is the same. At any rate, I don't see where the show suggests Jeffries had any involvement. Given he contributes one of the two sets of coordinates that lead to the trap that kills Richard, I think it's safe to say he was working against, not, for, Mr. C.
Ok. Well I thought when Bad Cooper sent the text it was lower case but Diane received it in caps. I wasn’t sure of Jeffries’s role. I have a memory like a sieve, so I wasn’t sure which character gave bad Coop the wrong coordinates 😀. Thanks for taking the time to respond though.
+Corn Pone Flicks Will we get an answer to the theory you mentioned at the end that you said you hadn’t heard anyone say before? Or a video about the white lodge??? Your videos are THE BEST!
I really love your videos mate. I sat through all the TP ones last night, and I had a question. Sorta. Do you think that potentially the time glitching (big Ed's noodles, etc) is a direct result of what cooper has done? Meaning that everything he does eventually, will already be reflected IN the past. So the glitches and loops and issues are a result of his tampering? I subscribe to the notion that (in fiction and media) if you affect time, it should be reflected along the entire timeline, sometimes in a small way, some times in a more major way. We know that Laura is eventually labelled a missing person and that people began having hazy recollections of what happened, so its not an unprecedented idea.
It's possible in regards to the Big Ed scene, though I say this with the caveat that Lynch seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't be all that concerned with the exact science of it, in so many words. Frost, yes, but not Lynch; not really. It might be there just to suggest the idea of fractured time, without really adhering to any complete time-travel "theory," so to speak. The parts where we hop back in time, such as the repeated Dr. Amp scene through Bobby in the diner talking about finding his father's message, however, I just regard as a storytelling device, just like the way Tarantino replays the end of the "killing of Brett" scene in Pulp Fiction to re-establish where we are, and then proceeding to show us something we didn't see on the first go-around.
Is it possible that white room Audrey is from the altered timeline? That by saving Laura Audrey didn't get to know Cooper as well so wasn't targeted by Mr C in the same horrific way.
Great vid and analysis! We're rewatching the The Return at the moment as research for the 2019 Twin Peaks UK Festival and this is definitely helping! Love that you mentioned Windom Earle as Ken Welsh is coming to the festival this year and we're too excited!
+Corn Pone Flicks Excellent work!!!!! Love the videos. Love the unique presentation. What camera are you using to recreate the scenes you that you put yourself in? Lighting and look are so good!
I've seen others use green-screen to various degrees; I don't recall exactly. It's entirely superfluous, honestly, but it's good practice for bigger and better things in the future.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Thanks! :) I think this is highly creative and great art / entertainment. I think people are gonna take this further and walk around with characters, sit down and drink coffee with them and so on.
ChikoAvena Sheryl or Sherilyn? Sheryl Lee was Laura Sherilyn Finn was Audrey I only ask because Audrey’s dance is in S3, as well as I remember her dancing in S1.
I noticed that, too. It would be impossible for them to drive that distance almost entirely at night given the distance, but I think it might be just stylistic. To have that scene at the Palmer house in the daytime wouldn't have worked nearly as well. The nighttime quiet and empty streets just emphasize how lost and alone they both are in that moment.
I agree. Naturally the scene at the Palmers house couldn't be anything else but at night... Strange thing is, that with the hours it takes to drive the distance (I googled and made some calculations) this late hour of the day seems to fit.
You mean like how Coop and Diane cross over to the other timeline at night while driving (with themselves from an alternate iteration tailing them [my theory about the headlights behind them; the headlights are there for a reason, why else bother when you're on a tight schedule])? I'm not saying Coop and Carrie jumped timelines for sure, but yeah I wonder about that. 🤔
They are both 9s. The second one starts as a continuation of the 2 preceding it. Other than that they both make a seven shape of the same size... both are nines. So yes to sloppy writing.
If it's all in Cooper's afterlife, what do the timelines matter? Cooper never left the lodge because he's dead, he only imagined leaving the lodge. The whole lesson of the story is you can't turn back time, what's done is done. Cooper gets the Giant's instructions totally wrong. He thinks it's all about killing Judy and saving Laura, when it's really all about him, his soul's journey. Two birds one stone is probably a reference to reincarnation - as in two bodies/ one soul
Since I don't take the position that it's all in Cooper's afterlife, I see no contradiction in what I've presented. I can't help it if my ideas don't happen to line up with yours.
you can see a definite tail of the 9 on the 29 if u pause and zoom, it's hard to see because it covers the same area as a sharp contrast between a photo and the white background. but definitely a curvy little red line making the 0 a 9.

25 Years later... Season 3
2 : 53
Or maybe 3 Coopers
4:30
Season 4 after 30.
253 equals 10 which is the number of completion.
2 = 5 - 3
253 = 11x23 = 223 which is the reverse of 322 ☠ (Skull and Bones or Black Lodge) which would make 253 the White Lodge in code. All conjecture.
I'm so glad someone is still making fresh Twin Peaks content.
Sheryl Lee has the Greatest, erriest scream I've ever heard! Gets me every time.
Same here, I got goose bumps everytime.
I think part of the overall confusion is the series may straddle both timelines with little to no indication... some scenes occur where Laura was killed, others where she disappeared. For an example (just an example I make no claim as to which is which) what if Audrey married the accountant in the disappeared timeline, and an insane asylum in the death timeline? What if Coopers actions are what is causing all this confusion, time jumps, noodle eating out of sync, people shifting seats at the Double R etc.... kind of a ripple effect where the people involved all feel confusion over the transition between the 'official' and 'unofficial' versions.

This content was good enough that I ACTUALLY enabled my notifications for TH-cam.
Wow. I have to watch this again. Fascinating observations. I need to watch season 3 again with this stuff in mind. Your production values in this one are pretty good. I enjoyed the way you put yourself in front of the Palmer house and in the red room speaking backward. Nice. I wonder if there would be anything to gain by re-cutting everything in season 3 into chronological order...? I smell a weekend project coming on! Perhaps I should grab my laptop and get away for the weekend. Does Fawlty Towers have a room available...?
I really wanted to film the end bit at an actual pay phone, but the one remaining near me that I knew of turned out, on closer inspection, to be missing the actual phone, with just the booth structure still there. Bloody "progress." What's the harm of just leaving them there for emergencies? It's not like cell phones never die.
Your videos are so eye-opening and perceptive... What keen attention to detail. I missed so much obvious stuff while watching Season 3 it's not even funny.
About "I'll see you at the curtain call", I think that's an extremely odd thing for Cooper to say to her. The curtain call is what happens at the end of a play, when the actors come out onto the stage as themselves, break the fourth wall, and have an authentic interaction with the audience. I took this to mean that when they next meet, they will be their real selves, indicating that everything that went before was perhaps scripted.
Also, I'm so glad you mentioned the Rolex. My best theory is that Lucy bought it for him with the paternity money that a court made Dick pay to her.
I know the historic use of the phrase "curtain call." It seemed to me an obvious reference in this instance to Coop literally emerging from behind the curtain. It also seems symbolically saying "at the end."
I was joking about the Rolex. It's a funny detail, but I don't actually think it's a great mystery in need of explanation.
Marlin Brando
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks My theory about the Rolex is that it's Andy's prized possession, left to him by a late uncle. The only problem is that the date feature doesn't work.
@@watts111 He could've just bought it second hand
When iam bored and have time I find myself watching your videos time and time again...
The humor in this. You understand how serious the show is, but do not take it serious. Brilliant. Kinda like the show itself.
I always try and live by the philosophy of Mike Bordin, drummer for Faith No More, who once said "I take my craft seriously, but I try not to take myself seriously." I try to get all my facts straight, but if it's not fun to watch, what's the point?
Exactly. More people should understand that balance.
I’m really grateful for the work you’ve put into these.
Yo! Somehow only stumbled across this channel yesterday, though I watched The Return as it aired. Love the way you stylized your videos, the way you present the ideas and work yourself into some of the shots actually reminds me of a "behind the scenes" style tv show with a host presenting the episode as opposed to a DIY TH-cam project. The way you present your ideas about the show is very concise and understandable, not overly long and bloated like some of the other TP deep dive series tend to be. Always enjoy hearing a new person's perspective on the happenings inside of the return. Great work, hope you're still working on creative stuff be it TH-cam vids or your own short films or whatever
Thanks...I've just finished a feature film and am trying to figure out what the hell to do with it.
@@Corn_Pone_Flickswhat was the outcome? I'm sure it's great!
Have I told you lately how distinctively, damn GOOD your YT videos always are?!
I don't know...why, is it the sort of thing you think you're likely to say?
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Drink up; the world's about to end (presumably around 2:53, for some reason....) :P
"I'm so sorry" that you gave away Donnie Darko spoilers.😢 otherwise I love this video and all of your Twin Peaks videos. :-)
The best twin peaks videos on this platform. I hope you're doing well!
I enjoyed your analysis. Very comprehensive. This obviously took exhaustive research. Well done.
Only if you consider watching a lot of Twin Peaks to be research. That's not exactly twisting my arm. I'd have done that anyway.
These Twin Peaks overviews are fantastic! Thank you!
Excellent work, and some very interesting observations. Sloppy writing for the win!
First of all I'm loving these vids bro, good work.
Secondly, how you ended this video was genius
Also, thirdly, I'm quite sure that any time/date inconsistencies are deliberate. I wouldn't be so confident saying that about any director other than Lynch. There's a method to his madness
Everyone says this, but I've never seen an actual reason for such assurance. Small errors and problems seep into everything, especially large-scale projects. Lynch is brilliant, but he's not superhuman.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Agreed.
FINALLY! I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one who noticed Andy's Rolex. How has no one else brought this up before?
I only brought it up as a joke.
That ending! Thanks for the Twin Peaks related content CPF. Looking forward to what you teased as well.
Holy shit! I never noticed Ed''s reflection!
Well, Lynch is in his 70's, so it's getting harder for him to keep his story straight.
I guess he needs to write... a Straight Story.
Do you plan on revisiting The Return at all in future videos? I've been rewatching these videos a lot and I really love your insights. With so much content packed into the 18 episodes of the return, I feel like there's still so much left on the table. I'd love to see you tackle some more themes in the show, no matter how small.
I finished with this series years ago. I really didn't have anything else I felt I needed to say, and there's lots of other projects waiting in the wings that need my attention. Maybe I'll revisit it if there ends up being more Twin Peaks, but I feel pretty satisfied with the level of coverage I've done.
Fair enough! If David Lynch has taught me anything, it's make what interests you. Just glad these videos exist
Your videos are really good, man
Your insights are impressive dude. With the added bonus of making me laugh. 😆👍
So stoked you're making more videos about Twin Peaks, this one included.
Just noticed that in the Ed Eating Noodles scene had a sign above the window that read Frame Straightening, right before the visual glitch was fixed in one frame, or "Straightened out"
Nice. Might have been coincidental, but still cool.
This is amazing. Love your content
Outstanding work! Can’t wait to watch more!
Once again, you’re the greatest! Two reasons: 1. Your interpretations are spot on with my own.
2. Men at Work! (I was all, “This guy managed to fit two of my favorite fucking things together seamlessly!”)
The funny thing is, I had a totally different song in my head with that lyric when I conceived this. Now I'm wondering what the song I was thinking of is actually called, because I haven't been able to find it and wonder where I heard it. I obviously misheard the lyric.
Corn Pone Flicks
And now you have ME wondering what the song was! That’s really going to bug me until one of us figures it out...
To me, it's sounds (in my head, anyway) like "it's a mistake...yah yah yah yah, it's a mistake." It's probably in a movie; hell, it's probably in a movie I own and have seen enough times to have memorized just that one little part of the song, but searching for "It's a mistake" and "lyrics" just gets me one result. It worked, anyway, but it bugs I can't remember where I heard the other one.
I know exactly what you mean. I’ve seen so many movies, listened to so much music and read so many books that I often times struggle to suss out original thoughts from random references. I bet if I could hear the melody I would be able to figure it out.
The tune is EXTREMELY eighties, and is probably from a film somewhere around 84. It's not Ghostbusters, The Goonies, The Terminator, or Back to the Future.
That shot of the traffic light is one of my favorite recurring shots in the series
That's actually a traffic light outside my neighborhood. In retrospect, I should have shot it from a slightly different angle so it didn't look like I'd just used the shot from the show.
Love your editing in these man.
I think your advice to not sweat the small stuff is the best advice. One can go insane when one tries to make sense of all the continuity mistakes. Or maybe they mostly aren't continuity mistakes, but deliberate choices relating to a scene but not to the whole, because Twin Peaks is an elaborate dream anyway. Also, Matt, I think your acting is damn fine. EDIT: forgotten to write that The Return (as opposed to Fire Walk With Me) feels like there are pieces missing, probably in parts deliberately, for example to give Mark Frost the chance to fill in the gaps as he did with his Final Dossier. So maybe we won't get a 4th season, but something like The Return: The Missing Pieces.
There's acting in this?
A Missing Pieces feature for season three would be awesome, though I question how many there were. The fact that it didn't come out on the blu-ray makes me doubt we'll ever see it officially.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Forgive me if I misread "There's acting in this?" as not being sarcastic, when I say: yes, sure, it's not world class acting, but the way you play your part of the dialogue, when Twin Peaks characters remark on your explanations, and in this video especially the ending where you play Mr. C's character, I found it entertaining to watch.
as a frequent Welcome to Night Vale listener, i'm not even gonna attempt to understand time...
on to part 3!
this is next level analyse , love your content mate
I just have a feeling that all of these things show that time is going back and forth in this timeline
I think it's more a case of our perspective going back and forth, a la Pulp Fiction.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Yes good point
wow....this is some good stuffs. Lots of great finds!!! Thank you!!!!
Hello, Bear! How are you today?
Absolutely awesome. I was wondering about the Rolex too! Ha ha.
Another mistake I noticed (I don't think it is in this video but I could be wrong) is that in Episode 9 when Bad Cooper texts Diane "around the dinner table the conversation is lively" -she receives it not only in ALL CAPS but with a comma and a period ('AROUND THE TABLE, THE CONVERSATION IS LIVELY.")
I think because we're watching snippets from different iterations of the loop. The show Dark is based on a similar concept but can't say more as it may spoil it. If you like TP you'll probably like Dark.
Your videos are rad, I love the work you put into them.
A Twin Peaks fan isn't offended by being called, "crazy"... we expect it... we embrace it! ;)
You mention Donnie Darko around the 16 minute mark. Both DD and The Return involve time travel and the creation of an alternate timeline around October 2nd. What is the significance of that date?
I don't think there is one. Donnie Darko starts near the beginning of October so it ends near Halloween and there is therefore an excuse to have Frank in the rabbit costume. I don't think there is any alternate timeline near October in Twin Peaks...Coop creates one in February of 1989, but I concluded the discrepancies in September were just the result of hard-to-read handwriting.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Doesn't Bad Coop step thru the portal at Jack Rabbit's Palace on October 2nd, the same date that Donnie returns to at the end of that film?
I think it's probably a simple coincidence but a neat one. Back to the Future also features October time travel but on the 25th rather than the 2nd.
@@liamshanley_21 I chalk that up to the simple fact that autumn has a mystique about it, due to both the presence of Halloween and the gradually darkening and cooling days. It's certainly my favorite time of the year.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks I definitely listen to spookier music once October hits
Literally wouldn't time zones explain a two hour difference though on texting, also since andys son is re-incarnated marlon brando he MUST make bank or is an actor anyway since he ACTS like him lol
Great video, as all your other videos! ^-^ But I do have one gripe with this one. Your theory suggests that scenes are presented to us out of order and time flows normal for all the characters. There's a strong possibility of there being more than one dreams (apart from the Odessa world) and if that's the case, time being more compressed in some and more diluted in others can be the case. For example, what happens in one scene in a matter of seconds can have affects in another place, playing out in days. Space does vary unnaturally as well. Jerry being lost for example. He sets out on foot from Twin Peaks and ends up in Jackson Hole, that's nearly 900 miles! So, space-time in this series is far more wibbly wobbly timey wimey (as the great doctor would put it) than we first anticipated.
Also, why would BOB attack and ultimately let go Ronette if Laura wasn't there? I don't think Cooper goes to Twin Peaks in the official version at all.
@@xyttra I think BOB/Leland was already doing promiscuous stuff even before he attacked Laura. IMO he just so happened to "let loose" on her on the same day. Or maybe he got angry because he was expecting Laura to be there and when he saw she wasn't, he punished Ronette. And The Final Dossier explains that Coop went to Twin Peaks iirc in the new Official Version. ^_^ But, that's just based on my memory. It's definitely hard to keep everything straight!
He definitely goes to Twin Peaks as described in The Final Dossier, and Ronette was found wandering around injured just as before. BOB went to the cabin expecting to find Laura, but she wasn't there. It's not as if Laura was his only victim; he'd already killed Teresa Banks.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks He killed Theresa Banks because he found out she was working with Laura. He couldn't risk Laura finding out and Theresa did figure out he was Laura's father. Changing the past stuff almost always leads to continuity errors and Frost, apparently chose the easy way. I'm willing to accept Cooper would go to Twin Peaks one way or another because it's basically his fate. Every road he can take has to take him there. Also Cooper not going to Twin Peaks was just a small portion of my point.
I know. It was just the portion for which I had an immediate, concrete answer. And it's not beyond the pale to think that Leland/BOB would have attacked Ronette in a rage, demanding to know where Laura was. After all, he attacks Maddy in a rage simply because she's going home again...she didn't know anything about who killed Laura.
The misplaced "One Year Later" title card does help the Jeffries scenes make more sense in FWWM. The one thing is... doesn't it also mean that Cooper is only investigating Desmond's disappearance a week before the Palmer murder and Desmond has been missing for nearly a year before anyone looked into it? In the scene with Cooper and Kiefer Sutherland's character, Sutherland does make it sound like he's been missing for awhile when he says that he liked Desmond for having his own MO.
I'm honestly willing to let it slide since Desmond's character only exists because Kyle MacLachlan only committed to five days of filming. The Deer Meadow scenes also add a lot of weight to Cooper and Truman's intro scene in the Pilot - when Cooper makes a point of saying that the FBI is in charge and sometimes small town lawmen don't like that. Harry is cool with it, but the sheriff of Deer Meadow sure wasn't. Plus, it's fun to imagine that it was actually Cooper that punched out the sheriff in The Missing Pieces.
No...in the original script, the scenes of Cooper going to Deer Meadow happened before the Jeffries scene, and before that title card. That area of the film got really changed around in the edit.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Yeah, that makes more sense then. There's a certain fan edit out there that could really benefit from clearing this up as well.
I love your work, very talented!
You should have been the new Bob.
just a random thought here, since it seems some ideas from other unreleased DL projects were used in s3: There was this concept used in the script for Ronnie Rocket, where a scream was used to sort of ...reset a multiverse.
There's also a lot of ideas which feel like they might have originally been intended for Mulholland Drive back when it was meant to be a series...an amnesiac pursued by assassins, for example. The Mitchum brothers also look rather similar to the Castigliani brothers. Audrey has an existential awakening during a perfomance at a nightclub. Given that MD was originally conceived as a Peaks spin-off, it seems fitting, in a way.
Andy bought a few shares in Nadine's drape runner company back in the 90s just to make her happy, and that made him rich enough to buy the Rolex. At least that's what I'm going with.
Sounds good enough to me.
Your videos are very very very good.
Thank you very yrev much.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks You bet! I write for 25yl focussing on tp's other-than-human characters. I made a video version of one of the articles you might like: th-cam.com/video/CyO0HtCYBSE/w-d-xo.html
It's a cool idea that you used the actual Twin Peaks calendar, which can be bought, as the days when the series takes place. : - )
I got both that and the Great Northern room key for Christmas, so they were definitely going to make one of the videos eventually.
this episodes are straight fire
I find it aesthetically interesting that your calendrical timeline coincides with the days leading up to and during Allhallowtide, the three day christian holiday of the departed which coincides with Halloween, and that you placed the final episode particularly on All Souls' Day.
It doesn't-it goes from September 24-October 2nd.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Ooooooooooh. Sorry.
Whether it's intentional or not, the @ thing is very interesting. At the very least it demonstrates an effective, dependable pattern for the pacing of scenes where extended tension leads to what ends up being a potent climax.
@ (253 Time and Time Again - Twin Peaks: The Return)
Is that shot of Laura running backwards at 0:10? Her blink looked somehow reversed to me.
It's just you. I just used the shot as-is.
@Corn_Pone_Flicks Oh, I didn't think you had reversed it. I should've been clearer. I was wondering if it was a reversed shot in the show. I'm probably just used to seeing some characters occasionally run "backwards" haha
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Also, I love these videos.
Dude... I already thought that shit was a mistake the very moment I seen it again a few days ago. I could hear him mouthing the date as if he was improvising a flub. When I seen it written I distinctly thought he wrote the wrong date, cuz it didn't seem right. It's absolutely a mistake. You got it right.
great editing bro, awesome.
Why isn't there one of these on Mulholland Drive? Please?
I summarise Mulholland Drive in the next video in this series, by way of comparison to Twin Peaks.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks
Ok, then I'm gonna have to subscribe now. 😐
Great video as usual!
In Fire Walk With Me there are two clocks with different times in Teresa Banks' trailer.
In many houses, including my own, there are clocks with different times...clocks slow down or stop fairly often.
Thanks for the entertaining and insightful videos!
Sorry if this has already been covered elsewhere, but I'm surprised that I can't seem to find anything discussing it.
Hawk finds pages that had been torn from Laura's diary in the men's room, and they describe the dream that Laura had in FWWM, where Annie told her that she was with the Good Dale, and said to write it in her diary. But, the dream happened after she'd given her diary to Harold for safe keeping, which she does because she discovers that pages have been torn out. Does this imply that Hawk and Truman are in a different timeline than FWWM? Or was it just a mistake?
I think it's just a case of FWWM not showing everything that happened that week. We never see her with Dr. Jacoby or Josie, and for that matter we never see her have or transcribe her dream of Dale in the diary she gives Harold. We know these things all happened; the film just doesn't act like a checklist.
superb job.
I was wondering if, since the messages changed a bit when Diane received them from bad Cooper, possibly Jeffries was an intermediary between the two?
When did the messages change? The times don't match, but the actual text is the same. At any rate, I don't see where the show suggests Jeffries had any involvement. Given he contributes one of the two sets of coordinates that lead to the trap that kills Richard, I think it's safe to say he was working against, not, for, Mr. C.
Ok. Well I thought when Bad Cooper sent the text it was lower case but Diane received it in caps. I wasn’t sure of Jeffries’s role. I have a memory like a sieve, so I wasn’t sure which character gave bad Coop the wrong coordinates 😀. Thanks for taking the time to respond though.
+Corn Pone Flicks Will we get an answer to the theory you mentioned at the end that you said you hadn’t heard anyone say before? Or a video about the white lodge??? Your videos are THE BEST!
Check the next two episodes.
They spending 4 and a half years writing and shooting this season, i don't think there is any MISTAKES!!
You are perfectly welcome to suggest alternate explanations.
I really love your videos mate. I sat through all the TP ones last night, and I had a question. Sorta. Do you think that potentially the time glitching (big Ed's noodles, etc) is a direct result of what cooper has done? Meaning that everything he does eventually, will already be reflected IN the past. So the glitches and loops and issues are a result of his tampering?
I subscribe to the notion that (in fiction and media) if you affect time, it should be reflected along the entire timeline, sometimes in a small way, some times in a more major way. We know that Laura is eventually labelled a missing person and that people began having hazy recollections of what happened, so its not an unprecedented idea.
It's possible in regards to the Big Ed scene, though I say this with the caveat that Lynch seems like the kind of guy who wouldn't be all that concerned with the exact science of it, in so many words. Frost, yes, but not Lynch; not really. It might be there just to suggest the idea of fractured time, without really adhering to any complete time-travel "theory," so to speak. The parts where we hop back in time, such as the repeated Dr. Amp scene through Bobby in the diner talking about finding his father's message, however, I just regard as a storytelling device, just like the way Tarantino replays the end of the "killing of Brett" scene in Pulp Fiction to re-establish where we are, and then proceeding to show us something we didn't see on the first go-around.
Is it possible that white room Audrey is from the altered timeline? That by saving Laura Audrey didn't get to know Cooper as well so wasn't targeted by Mr C in the same horrific way.
Like with many theories, I say, sure it's possible, but the real question is, does anything appear to suggest it?
Great vid and analysis! We're rewatching the The Return at the moment as research for the 2019 Twin Peaks UK Festival and this is definitely helping! Love that you mentioned Windom Earle as Ken Welsh is coming to the festival this year and we're too excited!
+Corn Pone Flicks Excellent work!!!!! Love the videos. Love the unique presentation. What camera are you using to recreate the scenes you that you put yourself in? Lighting and look are so good!
That would be a Canon Rebel T3i. It's a pretty solid camera, my only complaint being the lack of a mechanical zoom function.
What about the split screen, back to back, diner scene? Surely intentional. No way that escaped the editing team.
Again, I just love how you blend yourself into the episodes! I've never seen anyone do that. Have you?
I've seen others use green-screen to various degrees; I don't recall exactly. It's entirely superfluous, honestly, but it's good practice for bigger and better things in the future.
@@Corn_Pone_Flicks Thanks! :) I think this is highly creative and great art / entertainment. I think people are gonna take this further and walk around with characters, sit down and drink coffee with them and so on.
Man you do some good stuff. Great vid.
I really love your videos, but at 11:26 I can't take away my eyes seeing Sheryl dance lol
ChikoAvena
Sheryl or Sherilyn?
Sheryl Lee was Laura
Sherilyn Finn was Audrey
I only ask because Audrey’s dance is in S3, as well as I remember her dancing in S1.
@@CorbCorbin sheryl lee
I just noticed that both forward and backward, Sheryl Lee's scream is equally unnerving.
These are so good. Wow
Why is it always night, I wonder, when Cooper and Carrie is driving to Twin Peaks. Could either be stylistic choice or significant to the story.
I noticed that, too. It would be impossible for them to drive that distance almost entirely at night given the distance, but I think it might be just stylistic. To have that scene at the Palmer house in the daytime wouldn't have worked nearly as well. The nighttime quiet and empty streets just emphasize how lost and alone they both are in that moment.
I agree. Naturally the scene at the Palmers house couldn't be anything else but at night... Strange thing is, that with the hours it takes to drive the distance (I googled and made some calculations) this late hour of the day seems to fit.
You mean like how Coop and Diane cross over to the other timeline at night while driving (with themselves from an alternate iteration tailing them [my theory about the headlights behind them; the headlights are there for a reason, why else bother when you're on a tight schedule])?
I'm not saying Coop and Carrie jumped timelines for sure, but yeah I wonder about that. 🤔
They are both 9s. The second one starts as a continuation of the 2 preceding it. Other than that they both make a seven shape of the same size... both are nines. So yes to sloppy writing.
This is a hilarious opening
If it's all in Cooper's afterlife, what do the timelines matter?
Cooper never left the lodge because he's dead, he only imagined leaving the lodge.
The whole lesson of the story is you can't turn back time, what's done is done.
Cooper gets the Giant's instructions totally wrong. He thinks it's all about killing Judy and saving Laura, when it's really all about him, his soul's journey.
Two birds one stone is probably a reference to reincarnation - as in two bodies/ one soul
Since I don't take the position that it's all in Cooper's afterlife, I see no contradiction in what I've presented. I can't help it if my ideas don't happen to line up with yours.
Great Counting Crows tune.
Where? The only song I used here was "It's a Mistake," by Men at Work.
you can see a definite tail of the 9 on the 29 if u pause and zoom, it's hard to see because it covers the same area as a sharp contrast between a photo and the white background. but definitely a curvy little red line making the 0 a 9.
I know. I highlighted it myself at 4:14
Never knew the Big Ed glitch :O
