Twin Peaks

[RangerWickett]

Have you seen this show? Have you ever tried recording yourself, playing the recording backwards, then recording yourself again as you recite the backwards speech, so when you play it backwards it goes forward, but with an unusual cadence?

I rewatched it recently, and it's surprising how different seasons 1 & 2 are, probably because Lynch had less influence during the second season.

I want to run a game that's as weird as the stuff David Lynch comes up with.

It was a show I watched on occasion...but even though it never grabbed me, I did enjoy sections of it. It was damn creative, albeit a bit too much weird for weirdness' sake. The Black Lodge stuff was, for me, riveting.

I've been a "Peaks Freak" since the show debuted WAY back when.

And I've rewatched it recently, thanks to the GOld Box collection, and WOW! It blew me away as much now as it did back in the first airing.

Particularly in hte S2 episode where Maddie dies, and the Finale [you KNOW what I'm talking about there!]

Disappointed that "Fire Walk With me" wasn't included in the set, as it adds ALOT to the Peaks mythology of the Black Lodge, and really casts the show itself in a different light.

Speaking of Twin Peaks, did anyone see the Twin Peaks homage episode on Psych, called Dual Spires (back in December). It had almost the entire main cast of Twin Peaks in it (notably missing Kyle McLachlin), and an altered theme-song/title sequence done in a Twin Peaks-esque manner. it was quite entertaining.

That WAS pretty sweet.

Indeed. I especially enjoyed the moment where the Log Lady steps out of a building and seems to be talking to a log but a moment later a child appears, following her out, and it becomes clear that's who she was talking to.

Cut to Shawn and Gus, who were watching (paraphrasing):

Gus: Whew, that was close!
Shawn: Going too far?
Gus: Definitely.

I watched it weekly back in... what was it, 1991?

I mean, how could I not? Sherilyn Fenn, Lara Flynn Boyle, Madchen Amick...

Still my favorite television show of all-time! Yes... of all-time!

The first half of the series was great. While they had some good side-stories that ran throughout the series' run, once they revealed who killed Laura Palmer and who Bob was (somewhere in the middle of the series), there was a two or three episode slump in which the series' writers didn't seem to know what the new main storyline should be.

However, once they introduced rogue-FBI agent Windom Earle into the mix as the instigator for the new main storyline, the series got back on track. Unfortunately by that time, though, the series' constant hiatuses, time-slot changes and cancellation (though the series was temporarily brought back by its fans' letter-writing campaign) eventually took their toll on the ratings.

1990-1991.

Indeed!

Both Twin Peaks and the 1991 version of Dark Shadows each had the greatest amount of beautiful women in a single TV show that I could remember.
