Just finished episode where killer is revealed

strap yourself in, this is where the plot is lost.

the problem is the series 2 finale payoff only works if you've suffered through the whole of the series, to the point where you're actually thrilled to see

Bob is in the TV version

Bob is in the version of the pilot showing in the box set on ireland's upc cable offering but is not revealed to us as inhabiting any other character as of the end of the pilot idk

bob has a bit of the charlie lansboroughs about him.

Do i rly have to watch the rest of this with the patch nutter and the pregnancy threesome and whatever the fuck else is coming to fill ten hours

also the music is blaring over all the dialogue and its getting on my tits

it picks up dramatically in the last few episodes

cant hear a word of dialogue ffs

xp i've heard but do i have to tolerate it til then

There's some stuff amidst the patch nutter/pregnancy threesome that adds to the last few episodes. Plus watching the stuff in between makes you really feel like you've earned it.

I would say feel free to fast forward through shit

if you don't like the way a non-Coop plotline is going fast forward that shit (e.g. James/Evelyn ugh)

Im not big on earning what i can get to with a button press, lyfe has taught me this Xxp

fast forward freely

surprised the S2 DVDs don't have an option that skips James altogether tbh

I have decided. To where do i ff

zappi OTM, pretty much all the non-Cooper scenes/plotlines are of no significance (they do vary in quality - as noted above I am fond of Ben Horne fighting the civil war lol)

major briggs tho

Duchovny looks hotttttt

S2 viewing guide: Watch all scenes that contain Coop/Gordon/Major Briggs. Fast forward the rest. Watch the last couple start to finish. Watch the last one over and over.

yeah any scene with Briggs is good

rly fast forwarding through james' sojourn and nadine's teenage phase isn't enough, best find the negatives and burn them.

leo scenes with bobby & shelly then windom earle also worthwhile iirc. the windom earle stuff alternates between hokey and creepy but ties into the coop/briggs so should be watched as well.

also prob need to burn billy zane scenes, billy zane and any record of his existence, just to be safe.

that shit was truly the pits

veggie leo is pretty funny

i've been driving around town to the twin peaks soundtrack, where was this cd on all my previous road trips

it's a soundtrack for life

nadine's teenage phase

lol I forgot this altogether

repressed rather

is there no phantom fan edit of season 2 post-murderer-reveal? there should be!

Ive been told that we have to watch it all ;_;

I pretty much enjoyed all of s2.

If it was say a sudden massive increase in weirdness in another show itd be interesting, but as is it's a descent into purgatory at best from the twin peaks of a few episodes back

I found it mostly hilarious, even if a bit silly. Though I think I watched it all after Christmas a few years back, drinking heavily along the merry way.

Ok at least you've given me a template

yeah, fairly sure upthread there are sections with everyone saying it's shit and me feeling like i enjoyed it anyway, just for what it was.

James nearly single-handedly invents Twilight here.

haha!

Whatever else, for me classic, for the

(SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS throughout this post)

one-armed man's speech 'I am an inhabiting spirit ...'

Ben Horne reciting poetry

The white horse that appears before Maddy's murder

The orchid man's suicide scene

I dont know where it is, but the Making Of that was featured on the first Season One is wonderful. All the actors sort of trail off into weird asides and stuff. The best part, and probably my favorite explanation of DL's working style, is a story someone tells about a day they were shooting where the power generator kept shutting down. They would do a scene, the power would shut off. They did is again, the power shut off again. This happened a few times and then Lynch calls for a break. He goes to a room and meditates, and when they re-convene, he gives them all new scripts with re-written dialogue. They do the scene and the power does not shut off and it's a success. David Lynch commented "I thought that's what it was."

fact: david lynch is awesome

ah jessu will ye get on with it ffs.

and, though i may have said this already, the sound mix on season two is appalling, most of the dialogue is lost. but i suspect that hasn't mattered tpbh.

yerman james is some fuckin gawk, his face is a stupid face
