have some of you watched the whole series 4x or something?
1st viewing = initial TV runVHS viewings = had dubbed copies of the whole series, showed them to my then-g/f (now wife).DVD viewings = got the Gold Box when it came out, have watched that in it's entirety at least twice, and a few episodes (pilot, last ep, etc) more than that

Used to have them from when I taped all the episodes off the telly, but no longer have a VCR. So maybe x4 times but not for years and years. I do occasionally watch the "..and it was on that vacation that I shot out Nadine's eye" just for Albert's reaction shot. Oh and "dolts, dunces, dullards and dumbbells .."

i watched the same worn-out VHS copies that everyone in this college town had been checking out for a decade, it was almost impossible to see what was going on in some of the season 2 ones.

I remember the Albert Rosenfeld scene, smartass, as he's one of the only characters who isn't a 2-dimensional archetype.

"2-dimensional archetypes" was not meant as a dis, btw. They can be usefully employed in the proper environment. As they are here, bcz that aspect of TP is part parody.
when ppl talk about such characters like they were created by Dostoevsky, it's tiresome tho.

Oh god the Josie Packard subplot was horrendously awful. I had forgotten it. Almost deserves to win just because it was so incomprehensible and overwritten and drawn out over so many episodes.

yeah Josie subplot def a low point of the show, altho anytime it involved Piper Laurie and Ben Horn was lol

^^^ David Lynch directed a series of commercials for Japanese canned-coffee brand "Georgia." Perhaps a hint as to how Twin Peaks would have turned out if he'd stayed on the ball!

Miguel Ferrer AKA Albert, through learning bits about his career over the years, is one of the coolest mofos of all time. This year I found out he plays drums on Keith Moon's solo album, plus this little tidbit:
Another parallel with the life of Marilyn Monroe, though probably unintentional. Monroe was a friend of Rosemary Clooney, and was invited to her house for a party in 1955. Clooney had recently had a baby, and took Monroe upstairs to see him. He burst into tears when Monroe first cradled him, until he opened his eyes and saw Monroe, and simply stared back at here, wide-eyed. Monroe ended up spending the entire party upstairs with the baby. That newborn was none other than cast member Miguel Ferrer.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098936/trivia

yeah, thought everyone knew Rosemary was George's aunt though
― Number None, Friday, 16 March 2012 20:22 (twelve years ago) link
there is a story that Rosemary hired starving-actor nephew George to be her lawn/shrubbery guy one summer, and he only cut the parts she could see from her window.

Sometimes I feel shame for not hating James as much as the rest of the world does.

I am unashamed of my lack of hate for James. If James were a chick of comparable attractiveness, I bet he would be hated less.

Although the Miss Twin Peaks plot sucked, the actual scene was kind of awesome. An underrated twin peaks moment imo.

Thing is, I never hated hated James until the infamous out-of-town plotline. I was getting bored with him and Donna and Maddy, but he himself was fine and had been in some good scenes.
Also agree with this Although the Miss Twin Peaks plot sucked, the actual scene was kind of awesome. An underrated twin peaks moment imo. It definitely delivers the goods, but mannnnn all that stuff with Windom creeping on the girls, so much potential there but it never really gelled.
Mainly it just drove me up a wall that Cooper & Truman never seemed to be really seriously investigating any of that! Like, why not have keep the girls under watch or have Hawk tail them, or something? There was this weird sense late in the show that the different plotlines actually existed in parallel universes - people have mentioned how Norma seems totally oblivious to her sister being kidnapped, and I think that sort of pervades the rest of this thing. It's weird, for example, that nobody takes the slightest notice of Nadine's impossible superhuman strength. I kind of like the idea upthread that it could be explained away as a White Lodge thing, and a tighter master plot chart for the season could have had it at least getting name-dropped somewhere else. You know - - Cooper snaps his fingers, goes "Harry, you're a genius! Nadine's strange transformation, Major Briggs's experience - it all adds up."
