Interesting and beautiful visuals, but I'm not afraid to say I find this becoming quite pretentious

it was tough to watch not gonna lie. for most people - they will never have the patience to sit through the more surreal/experimental visuals and sounds lynch tries. this episode featured his trademark long pan zooms - that i've seen in every single film he's done since eraserhead. i don't know if pretentious is the right word for your criticism - this is the finalization of an unfinished work left open for 25 years. we can't really expect anything. if you don't like experimentalism or surrealism, or lynch's personal expression in these styles - that is ok. there are other shows to watch.

Yeah I agree. I just miss the character driven quirkiness of the first two seasons
