have some coffee BOB!

Leo was one of the scariest things about the show.

Leo was scary when he went into full-on murderous psycho mode - esp. when he woke up from his coma (that whole sequence with the scattered birthday party remnants & swinging lightbulb was freaky as shit!), but when Eric Da Re was playing it straight, his acting was so abysmal that he came across as a comic buffoon more than anything. Sure he was a total dick to Shelly, but remember that [spoiler] he ended up with a faceful of tarantulas while Shelly & Bobby were chuckling gleefully w/ Heidi the German waitress, so all was right in the end!

I think Hank is way more scary than Leo - he just seems like a totally malicious guy

bob & coffee photo is a keeper

Hank is like evil Macgyver

just one look at BOB and i've got the heebie jeebies.

that actor died of AIDS a few years after the film -- in 95 i think.sad.

"WHERE"S JOSIE COOP!!!!!!!"

I wonder what the adventures of Bob in Cooper would be if there was a season three

log lady would have hit him on the noggin and they would have trapped bob in a jar.

and freed Josie?

until I recently rewatched the series I thought I imagined that.

Guys the audio book of Lynch's self-help/autobio/TM shill "Catching the Big Fish" is my fave iPod listen atm. Lynch reads.

"self-help guide"

best moment: "the suffocating rubber clown suit of negativity"

looks better than Avatar tbh

lol whoops

so what does she do all day in the knob? she must be so bored

I just learned that James is one of the privates in A Few Good Men charged with carrying out a Code Red. Pretty cute once shorn of his Corey Hart hair.

I am so bored with the James Corey side plot of fixing that ladies car. No wonder people stopped liking the show during season 2

^^^low point of the show

Agreed--although the blonde was pretty great looking. (My other low point is a high point for some people: Ben's Civil War fixation.)

The civil war story line is saved by Dr Jacoby's presence.

Civil War thing cracks me up, there are a few episodes where it provides the only decent sequences

carrot or cigar, got nothing but love for ben horne

Doing a rewatch with friends, first one in over a decade for me... tbh was planning to do all of season 1, then skip to last 2 episodes of season 2 then FWWM. Folly on my part?

all of season 1, then skip to last 2 episodes of season 2

uh yes, this is totally wrong, as the first part of season 2 contains the reveal re: Bob and Leland's death, the arc leading up to that is fantastic

Well, then you don't get 2.7, the "reveal" episode, which is pretty stunning if you ask me. (xp!)

Agreed 100%. If you really want to skip eps, probably watch until the reveal and then pick it up again towards the end although I don't know exactly where to suggest.

problem is the windom earle/black lodge storyline starts up pretty soon after the laura palmer storyline wraps up, it's just woven through all the pine weasel etc silliness

Season 2 episode 1 may be the best in the series.

"warmed it up for ya"

For better or worse, I'd advise you to watch it all, in order.

Hmm ok we should do all of S2 then. Like I said it's been quite a while, and my memory seems to have tricked me into thinking that reveal happened at the end of S1!

We're only on episode 4 and it's just been so intoxicating to revisit this shit. Half the ppl watching with me have never seen it, which adds an extra frisson.

season 1 is only like 6 episodes or some shit

Wow yeah it's only 8 episodes. My mind playin' tricks on me.

Agreed 100%. If you really want to skip eps, probably watch until the reveal and then pick it up again towards the end although I don't know exactly where to suggest.

I actually kind of love that the show starts out parodying soap operas in certain respects & then eventually devolves into self-parody by adhering to the exact same tropes it once sent up (or at least winked at). Still, unless you make that slog through the dire expanse which spans the pine weasel/evelyn marsh/little nicky/milford bros vs. black widow/john justice wheeler/dead dog ranch/ etc. - you just can't really just skip this stuff & still properly appreciate how thoroughly the out-of-left-field wtfness of the conclusion just sort of laid waste to all the slow-building stagnation.

i think you should watch it all -- why not? it gets bad, but that's part of the show just as much as the good episodes.

fastforward through the James-on-a-motorcycle scenes and you should be good

that's what killed me on my one rewatch, in 1994

I guess the heart and soul of the show was laura's mystery so when it was solved... no excitment. But they shoul dhave just kept on with BOB - BOB goes into someone else body and kills more

well they do get back to that, it's just too little too late, no?

think that's part of what bugs me about the end. if harry and hawk had any sense they'd keep coop locked in a cell for the rest of his life.
