#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Apples and oranges though. I like True Detective, and objectively its of course a far better show. But Twin Peaks, i dunno man.... The relentless weirdness of it, the mind-blowing bullshit. Its great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,478 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN is in a whole other league.

The will of the people! (or in my case a protest vote to piss of Lee) Not at all. I actually forgot I'd made this thread! I agree with BloodBoal about the key mysteries of the respective fictions. Or more specifically: I find the mystery of the Yellow King a more satisfying arc than I do anything about the Mother and the Lodges in Twin Peaks. That is one of my biggest disappointments with Twin Peaks actually; because for a time it was the most fascinating lore of any of the shows I watch. But when all is said and done over those 18 episodes, I did not enjoy the direction they took with it. I suppose it's a matter of sensibilities and personal taste, as it always is. So that is why Carcossa is for me the far more gratifying TV of these two not dissimilar shows. 54 minutes ago, Stefancos said: Ýeah....

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Oh come on! I didnt even know what i was watching half the time. I mean very engrossing, in a way. And it's been on my mind for months. But the actual quality is too far and few between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,327 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I liked True Detective S1 but it's not a show that I consider important. Heck, I stopped watching S2 after one episode. I think TP S3, in all it's craziness, will leave a bigger imprint on me. So I vote for TP S3 even though people are right when they say it's like comparing apples & oranges. For the record, I believe(d) in the Golden Age of Television and neither show is in my top 5 best TV ever. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Really? Apart from a general similarity involving the paranormal I don't see it. Could you cite a few examples? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've had this conversation before here.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 That's general. I was maybe thinking you had a specific similarity. oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Nah, well ahead of you. I think you were just trying in vain to make this into something tenuous. You're the consummate question asker in these scenarios, remember. You are rarely forthcoming with answers about anything and you're not really interested in debate until you at least know absolutely everything that others have said first.

Thor 7,478 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I can definitely see links between the two. I think TD drew lots of inspiration in terms of cinematography (at least the grittier parts of TP), and the sense of unease lying just beneath the surface.

Quintus 5,399 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 As I said, I already had the same conversation before here, and I'm not really one for regurgitating stuff I've already been over. Either way, I'm satisfied that my thematic comparisons are more than adequate on this occasion. Although, maybe you could tell me why they're not.
