Twin Peaks Season 3: 10 Things That Need To Happen

5. The Red Room Explained

The reason why Twin Peaks has endured for so long without any new content in some twenty five years is because of the mysteries. Laura Palmer's murder was solved way earlier than it was supposed to be thanks to pressure from the network, but there are plenty other unsolved questions that were posed across the first two seasons. Nobody expects all or even any of them being solved when the show returns to our screens, because that was never the nature of the show, and that's never been the nature of David Lynch or Mark Frost's work. But especially not Lynch's. Have you ever seen Eraserhead? Dude really started as he meant to go on. That synopsis of Inland Empire a few entries back was entirely based on speculation and interpretation, too, since the film doesn't make a lick of sense on the surface. For the most part, Twin Peaks was fairly grounded, even in its weirdness. Fire Walk With Me was the most gritty, distressingly realistic the story ever got, and that still had a healthy dose of the supernatural thrown in for good measure. The most iconic part of the weirdness beneath the Northwest Passage was the enigmatic Black and White Lodges, spaces that seem to exist outside of time and normal reality, where weird creatures like BOB and The Man From Another Place exist. It also appears to be the place that Agent Cooper is trapped, alongside Leland Palmer and Windom Earle. So what's the deal with that place? How long has it been there? What's it got to do with the legend of King Arthur? Again, nobody expects concrete answers to these things, but hopefully Twin Peaks season three will at least give fans more clues to spend the following twenty five years to obsessively pick over.
