Done with my own rewatch. Thought it was all marvellous again, and i even enjoyed the second half of season two Finished off with Fire Walk With Me. Still not sure about that, really. The first half drags quite a bit, and didn't have enough of the characters for my liking, but it's a nice little wrap-up in a way, i guess. Anyone seen the feature-length documentary in the gold boxset? Pretty decent, and sometimes really interesting. Misses Lynch's input and doesn't even mention some of the main cast, which i thought was odd. Anyway, well worth a watch after you're done with the series. Could've maybe done without a 20 minute segment on the soundtrack, mind, no matter how memorable it was. Lynch does turn up for a sit-down chat-thing with a few of the cast, but it's not really unmissable stuff. The nice odd tidbit, though. Audrey Horne could legit be the sexiest looking woman evorrrs, eh. Reet sexy.

Its arguably my favorite TV series of all time along with The Sopranos. The first series and the first half of the second is literally hypnotic at times. Sadly, once the key plot is cleared up, the series goes off the deep end for a few episodes, but the last few episodes are very good. They were under so much pressure to reveal the killer that once they did it seemed to suck the life out of the entire show and theres lots of stuff that takes the piss until it picks up steam again before the end. It didn't help that both David Lynch and Mark Frost left the series and you can tell when they do. Its a revolutionary series in many ways. You'll see lots of things that influenced dramatic series' now that were brand new when Twin Peaks first aired. And yea, Twin Peaks is a LOT more straight forward than anything Lynch has ever done (thats partly because Mark Frost is the one responsible for the story), but theres still some Lynchian oddities and very strange moments. And the music is terrific. listen to what the man said first half of fire walk with me is mega

Finally just watched this for the first time, pretty much agree with what was said previously in this thread (great up until about halfway through series 2 then picked up again at the end). Had to laugh at the "I'll see you again in 25 years" line since that's spot on with series 3 having been filmed now. On which note... 217 cast members though This scene from Fire Walk With Me, FFS:

Watched the first 4 episodes, really liking it so far, some wonderfully bizarre, horrifying, amusing and intriguing stuff. Also quite like that there's less music throughout scenes as I felt that the original series overdid that massively. That scene with the glass box...fuck me. Still, worse ways to go than being killed whilst the girl from Californication is straddling you naked I guess.

Loved the first four episodes. I thought the fact that it didn't really 'feel' a lot like Twin Peaks was a great touch, if you know what I mean. Obviously with the original series, there were larger elements of soap opera storytelling, mostly from Frost and a lot of it when Lynch was absent.
They've gone for a whole different tone this time (from the first four episodes, at least), it feels closer in tone to Lost Highway/Mulholland Drive/Inland Empire, the score certainly plays a part in this, there's very little by way of music, which played a big part in the original series and was what mostly drove those soapier elements, Lynch has gone for that more sinister industrial sound collages this time, which work fantastically.
it essentially feels like a very long Lynch film with the town and original cast of Twin Peaks currently playing second fiddle as Lynch & Frost seem to be more intent on trying to create a 'feel' or mood, in the first instance. it's those more visceral elements of storytelling which drive those films mentioned earlier, and is what Lynch does so exceptionally well.

Anyone still watching? Seen episode 8 yet?
That might just be the most creative, bold and bat shit mental piece of television ever aired on national TV.

It's all a bit predictable isn't it? Extraordinary episode, can easily see people labelling it the best thing they've watched all year or the worst I liked it anyway, once I'd managed to get my head around it a bit. Got a light?

The aftermath of that scene with the Log Lady... Great to see Bowie in his Tin Machine phase
