- TriviaThe owner of the Palmer house says her name is Tremond. That's also the name of the old lady (and her grandson) from season 2. The same old lady used to call herself "Chalfont". In "FWWM", Harry Dean Stanton's character says that before the Chalfonts, another family named Chalfont lived in the trailer. This could be a hint that the unseen husband is possibly Pierre (Miss Tremond/Chalfonts grandson).
- GoofsWhen Cooper has the run-in with the cowboys in the diner, he picks up two guns, but when he places the guns in the french fry oil, he places three guns.

Featured review
Permafrost (dvd)
One word to begin about Mark Frost: in the 5 hours of bonus, he is never mentioned. It's always about David. Like in the 1st season, he does however a cameo in the return (the walker in the wood in EP#15) but beyond i wonder what he really did and what was his ideas to the story as he is never shown on sets. Oh yes, he wrote 2 books before and after the show. Honestly, the 1st one is unreadable as it's so stupid (Roswell, Nixon, JFK in TP ???)
So i waited the DVD release to go back to TP. Sincerely, it's the only show i watched recently that i was impatient to see the next episode. And after the final one, for sure, i was very sad. So it's like the original show. To try to organize my feelings, i would pick a bit of my disappointments and a bit of my fun:
1) the big black hole of this return is the lack of Badalamenti score: he did a piano fugue at the end of EP#11, 2 classic TP songs are played in the bang bang bar closing moment but it's pretty much all. The new music isn't very gripping and at the end, there is no really gripping moments as in the old one.
2) it's called TP but now the ground is all over America: for the town only stuff, the stories are not really interesting but i keep 2 things: the beautiful locations and the rare opportunity to meet again a cast 25 years after: it's about seasons passing, getting old and for a show so focused on time, there is really a great emotional source here albeit their anecdotal events and fate.
3) Some new mysteries keys are a bit too rational or expected: the impulse is too strong to develop every bit of FWWM cryptic scene with David Bowie: the convenience store, the woodmen, Judy. Now Diane is Cooper true love while i thought it was Caroline or Annie whose fate is still missing. The zone, the orbs, the tea Jeffrie lack the mystical touch of the lodges... And the new map seems a remix of the forgotten Owl cave...
Now for the good part:
1) it's like having a 18 hours Lynch movie: between his focus of the daily life (neighbors, coffee, pie), his dark nightmares and his love for nature, the season is indeed an epic, breathtaking journey trough today America. That's why this new TP doesn't feel like the old one because America has deeply changed since the 90s and it's just impossible now to find this one again. It's a bit like Lynch magnus opus because it looks like he revisited again all his past movies and tied them all in the fabric of a dream!
2) the new characters are interesting and above all, extremely well cast and played! The bonus are really interesting because it really shows the talent of Lynch to have a vision and have everyone involved to get it: he is kind to anyone, really hard working for everything so if he doesn't get an Emmy for his dedication and his huge work, it would be rather unfair and incomprehensible!
3) The quality of the picture is stunning: sets, light, special effects. We are faraway of the yellow/blue palette: no show is more deep and it beats almost any new movies!
At the end, it was an extraordinary trip for me: maybe some things are bothering but overall, it's a damn good show and i'm in need of a 4th season definitely!
