Deep in the second season of Twin Peaks, the TV series created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, The Twisted Windom Earneth (Kenneth Welsh) holds the hostage Major Garland Briggs (Don Davis), torturing him for more information about mysterious and mystical black. When Earl asks a drug -free Briggs about what he is most afraid of in the world, the soldier responds with his hearts: "The possibility that the Loveum is not enough." It is a statement that, Like much in the work of Lynch and in the play itselfIt has huge resonance and weight. In particular, the feeling is not only one of the biggest themes of the series, but also to the fate of the real world of the play itself.

When the episode contained in that scene was broadcast in early 1991, Twin Peaks reception as one of the most popular and exciting new emissions on network television switched, with not only pop culture in general, but also their own die fans feel like something disappeared. Truth be told, some key things have disappeared - Lynch, for one who has rested the series after the sixth episode of the second season and did not return to the season finals, and Frost, which similarly took a break between episodes 8 and 18. However, even more loss of the two key figures. After that discovery happened, he left the series and his creators to feel attractive, and although many new characters and parcels were thrown at the proverbial Wallid, nothing stuck, at least not in time.

To be fair, the reasons for the cancellation of Twin Peaks were a huge number and they worked in a concert with each other. In other words, there was no one, a comprehensive reason why the show lost its attitude and could not find it again before the ax went down. However, if one had to choose a blow that caused the entire building of the show, it was the end of the basic mystery of the series about who killed Laura, and this injury reportedly happened with the courtesy of then -President ABC President: Bob Iger, who is now CEO of Disney.

As the story goesIger and other ABC directors, initially broadcasting Twin Peaks until his cancellation, put pressure on Lynch and Frost to discover Laura's killer as soon as possible in the hope of allowing them to continue to profit the first season of pop culture. Iger denied that he was directly mixed in the show and claims that discovery is part of a natural art process that may or may not be true.

After all, it doesn't matter. The initial plan to maintain the basic mystery of the show, mystery forever began to give in almost as soon as the series began. When the pilot episode was produced in length in 1989, the series was not yet officially selected for air; This was a typical practice for new programs until the streaming era begins. As such, the distributor concluded a contract that requires the pilot to have a finished written and recorded for possible theater distribution if he does not go to series. Thus, Lynch and Frost had to come to an end to the story. Fortunately, Lynch could have done some of his greatest things at all times when they were given restrictions such as these: not only did this result in creating the infamous "red room" scene of the series, but also similar circumstances resulted in that The "Mulholland Drive" pilot in a brilliant, eternal enigmatic film about a decade later.

With the response to Laura's murder to be essentially part of the show just when she leaves, Lynch and Frost tried to find the way back to the basic concept that made Lynch be excited to make a series of TV show in the first place. As the "Fun Week" director said in 2000"The extended story is a beautiful thing for me, and the mystery is a nice thing for me, so if you have a constant mystery, it's so nice. And you can go deeper and deeper into the story and discover so many things." He and Frost included the scene of the red room as a dream Dale Cooper (Kyle McLassan) in the third episode of the show, they made the killer Bob (Frank Silva) a demon spirit who could have an unknown assailant and so on. After all, while Lynch was unwavering that "we never intended to resolve the killing of Laura Palmer," Frost was more pragmatic. In his own words:

"I know David was always in the notion, but I felt we had an obligation to the audience to give them a certain resolution. It was a bit of tension between him and me (...) We needed about 17 episodes to finally discover it, and since then people got some ants."

Whether it was pressure from Iger and ABC, the pressure from furious fans (Lynch would tell a story of listening to the viewer to complain that he is "sick of waiting" for answers), or a combination of both, Lynch and Frost eventually chose to discover the killer, and they did. Unfortunately, Twin Peaks was not built to last that discovery, and the show collapsed. Given how emotional and intellectually stimulating material was raised when Lynch returned to direct the seasonal finals (which was, for some time, the final in the series), it is possible that the show was given the third season, could have found its place again. Unfortunately, however, the ABC did not allow that chance.

After all, despite the hopes of Lynch and Frost, it seems to be in retrospect Twin Picks was simply a television show before its time. If he could produce only six episodes in the season (as with his first season) instead of the then standard 22 (as in his second season), it would help, much as it would benefit from broadcasting the premium cable channel instead of a national network. There were other factors that contributed to the cancellation that was not discussed in length here, of course: the price of the show, dissatisfaction with fans and ordinary viewers about certain stories and the drama behind the scenes in the midst of the main team. Whether the cancellation caused or contributed to it, the end of the Twin Peaks coincided with a bizarre reaction against Lynch's work. The film in which he tried to continue and summarize "Twin Peaks", "Fire Walk with Me" since 1992, was so restrained after the release it even Quentin Tarantino's likes used itAnd it was not up to the "Mulcholand Disk", Lynch became a beloved, director of the hip again from the general public.

Despite the joy and innovation born in the initial series, he had to find his way through the strange world of premiere television broadcasting, it seems to be in the retrospective that Twin Peaks is best able to bloom in an atmosphere of total creative control. That's what "Fire Walk with Me" and Show Revival Series for 2017 "Twin Peaks: Returning" Show, because they are now two of Lynch's most famous works. And while the six (or more) seasonal level of "twins" can or is not great, the truncated life of the series has done only what exists so much more influential and appreciated. As Cooper promised once, the journey really led us to a place and wonderful and weird.
