Jake Gittes Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Slowly but surely getting through the wilderness that is the middle of the second season. Y'know, I was expecting that James subplot to be a complete waste of time but it's kinda fascinating. I actually like the basic idea - a naive, good (as in "good person") character from Twin Peaks ventures outside after a trauma and immediately finds out that it's no better out there. What that storyline needs is a better-developed, more likable main character than James, a better actor than James Marshall, a bit more coherence and enough style for it to come off as a genuine neo-noir instead of a ludicrously sleazy direct-to-DVD erotic thriller. So it wasn't unfixable from the start, but they did more or less everything wrong with the premise which I guess is why it's so maligned. But I think Lynch might have made it work (much better) if he had been around and put his mind to it - granted, that's something that could be said about a lot of things, but still. He could have also made the femme fatale less obviously trashy and cast Isabella Rossellini or someone in that vein. Now, the whole subplots concerning Little Nicky, Super-Nadine, and the mayor's brother? That right there is a waste of time. Just one big void. All of that shit belongs in a third-rate sitcom. Ben Horne reenacting Civil War isn't much better but at least we get Richard Beymer chewing the scenery which puts a smile on my face no matter what he's doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Alfred Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The last two episode of S2 is the best thing ever happened in television. Getting goosebumps every time I hear the opening title music... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoolioD1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 the most important news has been confirmed. bobby briggs is coming back 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's still such a bummer that Major Briggs isn't coming back though. Which makes me think, I wouldn't mind seeing Bobby as an aged military man who followed his old man's footsteps, just as eccentric but in that old crazy way and not the laid-back, peaceful way. BTW, here's the guy himself and Sheryl Lee talking about their TP experience. As good a way to spend 43 minutes as any: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZ703pF246I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Speaking of major briggs, this is a major contender for best scene of the show for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) For me the best has to be Maddie's murder. *shudders* After that it's like a 6-way tie between the discovery of Laura's body, Coop and Audrey meeting, the Red Room dream, Major Briggs' speech, Leland's death and everything in the Black Lodge.

kitik Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 http://comicbook.com/2015/04/05/twin-peaks-cast-members-reportedly-say-showtime-has-cancelled-th/ Bad news. It seems that negotiations have fallen apart and it looks like this thing may be cancelled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Per Lynch's Twitter account, sounds like Showtime might continue moving forward, but Lynch isn't going to be a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 This will be a colossal fuck-up on Showtime's part if they don't just give him whatever he wants right now. There's no point in doing this at all if Lynch isn't directing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stingray Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'm heartbroken. Cannot believe this shit. I was looking forward to a return to Twin Peaks more than Mad Max and Star Wars combined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
