actually they should just redo season 2 with CGI.

all of the shit plotlines they can just replace with an extended subplot of agent cooper battling various giant beasts on mars or something.

Surprised no one has (to my knowledge) done a fan-edit just axing 1/3 to 1/2 of the post-Leland running time. Sure, a few things wouldn't exactly make sense, but in Twin Peaks that'd just feel like part of the ambience.
― Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 29 May 2012 14:48 (eleven years ago) link
TBH that still wouldn't save a lot of the later episodes.

went here last night for the inaugural screening of the Twin Peaks pilot & episode 1, great to see this on a big screen with a crowd of appreciative people.
sometimes I think Major Briggs is my favorite character. all his dialogue is aces.

The other day it occurred to me that Dr. Jacoby is David Cross's (soon-to-be) father-in-law.

Major Briggs going into 'father mode' with Bobby is one of my fav things.

Rebellion in a young man your age is a necessary fact of life, and, candidly, a sign of strength. In other words, Robert, I respect your rebellious nature. However, being your father, I am obligated to contain that fire of contrariness within the bounds established by society as well as those within our family structure.

^ya just watched that one yesterday too. certain characters kinda steal whatever scene they're in - it's been a while since i watched the whole series but i didn't remember thinking nadine was as hilarious as she is in the first couple eps

dude who was showing it pointed out how well-cast the series is and how much that holds things together, which struck me as being very true. whenever I'm presented with a scene that I'm not particularly interested in or seems draggy, there's always at least one castmember doing something interesting - and what's more, the scene is likely to be over shortly and followed by something else with an entirely different set of castmembers - so at any given point in the series there's almost always some acting worth watching. having such a varied and dynamic cast really gives it a remarkable depth.

whoa thread opened to that Donahue clip posted in August. in Twin Peaks context it just seems creepy even though it's just 80s tv. i used to love Donahue for some reason. i'm sure i watched or set the vcr to tape that when it aired bc i was so into Twin Peaks. that is something.

went to another episode screening last night, included Leland's capture/death episode
this time around was struck by how much Peggy Lipton/Norma seems to be channelling Joan Crawford throughout the series

I just finished season 1 of True Blood. The synthesizers playing in the background during Jason and Amy scences remind me of the Donna and James scenes in Twin Peaks. True Blood was all right until the ***SPOILER*** CAJUN ACCENT FOR ACTORS cassette.

― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 1 November 2012 16:02 (eleven years ago) link
DONE. it really turned around when the windom earle storyline became central, and yeah that final episode was superb. so when does season 3 start.
― Perfect Chicken Forever (Merdeyeux), Saturday, 3 November 2012 18:21 (eleven years ago) link
I am enormously glad they never did a season 3. It's sort of interesting to think about a plotline with Evil Cooper in the real world but yeah after a few episodes of that and Good Cooper wandering around the halls, i think it would lose something. There's an intensity in having all of that in that one last episode and i think there's a real danger in further exploring plotlines just to do so. See pretty much the rest of season 2.
― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Saturday, 3 November 2012 19:25 (eleven years ago) link
Windom Earle sucked so bad
― Number None, Saturday, 3 November 2012 19:26 (eleven years ago) link
Woohoo!
Now that you're past the spoiler mark, I present this thread: Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)
Windom Earle was definitely a disappointment compared to the way he was hyped. He definitely could have been way worse though.

Because of supernatural witchy woo, clearly. Also: because the film was made after the show and many people were confused.

Remembering the painting she received from Chalfont that she left on the front lawn, Laura goes outside to get it. After hanging it on her wall, she falls asleep. She dreams about entering the Black Lodge and about a ring. Suddenly Cooper enters the room and we see the Man from Another Place. He tells Cooper that he (the Man from Another Place) is "the arm" and he utters an Indian Whooping sound. The Man from Another Place offers the ring to Laura but Cooper tells her not to take the ring. Laura finds Annie Blackburn (Heather Graham) next to her in bed, covered in blood. Annie tells Laura in her diary that "the good Dale" (Cooper) is trapped in the Black Lodge and can't leave. Laura sees the ring in her hand and is frightened. Hearing the muffled cry of her mother, Laura goes to her bedroom door. She is suddenly in the painting. When she turns she sees herself sleeping peacefully in her bed.
so its just a dream premonition or what
