mattmav45 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Anyone a fan? I'm about 7 epiosdes from the end, and shit is getting crazy. It's likely not my favorite show ever, but very little doubt that it's the most innovative different, and creative show I've seen. It's funny, sad, dramatic, silly, and at times, terrifying. Can't wait for the ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Huuuge fan. Definitely one of my favourite shows, though it was spinning it's wheels a little after Leland dies, there's still some good stuff. The last episode is absolutely fantastic.

The Dark Alfred Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Twin Peaks is a life changing experience. Recently saw a cabaret based on the TV show which was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's one of a kind, and definitely goes off the rails occasionally.... you will not believe the shit that happens in the finale. But it's so unique for American TV (especially back then), you just gotta love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmav45 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Figured there would have to be some fans on here! It's absolutely a one of a kind show, the tonal shifts from scene to scene are something to behold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 The theme song was a number 1 hit in Australia. I may have an imperfect recollection but I think this was the last show I wasn't allowed to watch when it was first broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stingray Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just watched the pilot. Marvelous. This is going to be a good weekend. First season is excellent throughout. Second season has some very high highs, but also some low lows. The movie, Fire Walk With Me, is divisive, but personally I think it's great.

Jake Gittes Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Yeah I heard plenty about the middle of the second season, but I'll force my way through it regardless. I've also been persuaded to watch Fire Walk With Me not after the 2nd season finale, but immediately following its 9th episode. I might just do that.

Jack Nevada Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Starting season one tomorrow. Is the 2nd season worth watching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Starting season one tomorrow. Is the 2nd season worth watching? Definitely. Some of it is still fucking incredible. there's a major plot arc that gets wrapped up halfway through the second season and that's when the quality dips, it's worth sticking through it for the final episode, which is astounding and some of the best work of Lynch's career.

Jake Gittes Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) I'm at the beginning of the second season now. Some observations: The whole first season is pretty fantastic. Add 15-20 minutes of resolution and the pilot could be one of the great films of the 1990s all by itself. I was amazed at how quickly Lynch was able to convey the tragedy of Laura's death; I hadn't even yet spent 30 minutes with these characters, but the combination of acting, music and imagery already created an incredibly vivid sense of pain and loss. That moment when Sarah Palmer realizes what happened just slayed me right away. Speaking of which, I can't get enough of that music. But then, who can? In general the combination of comedy, tragedy, soap opera, mystery, surrealism and horror works much better than it has any right to. It's a total high-wire act and the way they were able to pull it off episode after episode is a hell of an achievement. That and the whole theme of a "seedy underbelly of a wholesome small town" work much better here than (controversial opinion incoming) they ever did in Blue Velvet, which I thought hardly ever struck a proper balance. The whole cast is wonderful with the exception of James Marshall (who's entertainingly wooden at first but then becomes boring fairly quickly, although he has one very good scene in the woods with Lara Flynn Boyle) and whoever plays Nadine, although that's more the character's fault. Every time she appeared I immediately couldn't wait for the scene to end. BOB is legitimately scary. That scene where he climbs over the couch gave me shivers. And just his visage under "Have you seen this man?" is creepy as hell. What this story would be without Frank Silva I don't want to know. I want to be like agent Cooper when I grow up. At the risk of sounding shallow, this show has the most stunningly beautiful cast of women in any TV series or film I could possibly think of. Maybe 8 1/2 comes close, but I don't know what else. I'm delighted by the fact that about 20 million Americans once saw this scene on network TV in prime time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjeRCsoufII Edited October 20, 2014 by Jake Gittes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) It's true about the second season's highs and lows, isn't it. I watched episodes 4-7 of it today, and the first three had some good stuff in them but overall were mediocre, sometimes painfully so (Nadine the super-powered amnesiac, Leo in a coma - what a waste of screentime and talent). But then Lynch steps in and directs "Lonely Souls" and holy hell I still haven't quite caught my breath from those final 15 minutes. All of a sudden all the elements just come together and it's stunning. Edited October 20, 2014 by Jake Gittes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
