Dread Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 9 new episodes on Showtime in 2016. Pretty excited. Just picked up my rewatch through the original series last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I guess I'm finally going to have to watch this show, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've heard, and outside of Blue Velvet, I'm not a huge David Lynch fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Twin Peaks is probably the Blue Velvet-y-est thing Lynch has ever done. It's still wildly different though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I guess I'm finally going to have to watch this show, huh? I first heard about Twin Peaks through parodies. http://youtu.be/Vftf8TTve4s I watched a couple of episodes after Will told me how it inspired "Welcome to Nightvale" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 h o l y f u ck. Twin Peaks is actually pretty damn good though, you should watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjoyadet Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I agree, the episodes I have seen are good.When I first saw the Monsterpiece skit I only caught the "David Finch" reference but after watching some I understood the log bit. Indiana certainly seems excited about the shows return. The Central library has put up a diorama dedicated to David Lynch and Twin Peaks.

Dread Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Thoughts on TWIN PEAKS: Having just finished a half-rewatch (I'd only seen all of season one and a few episodes of season two during the original run) of the series I have to say that season one is eight episodes of brilliant quirky character studies where the plot is merely the engine that drives the characters meeting each other. In season two, the focus quickly shifts to the plot and the show loses its footing immediately. Then, the plot conflict is resolved and the show doesn't regain its original magic. It's hard to imagine another television show with such a shift in quality from season to season, but Twin Peaks might hold the record for greatest first season to worst second season of all time. Season two is 22 episodes long. Three of them are great (hint: they all feature prominent guest spots from David Lynch himself), a few are okay and the rest are downright awful. In fact, the final episode of the series is nigh-unwatchable. Complete dreck. The argument has been made about the rebirth of Twin Peaks wondering if they can go home again. my argument would be that they can't do any worse than season two.

JasonC Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 The argument has been made about the rebirth of Twin Peaks wondering if they can go home again. my argument would be that they can't do any worse than season two. Never say or write something like that. It's tempting fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 David Lynch isn't saying anything about the new Twin Peaks until 2016 except that it's going to be shot on film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 And that it's being made for "the biggest screen you can get in your house" which has me a little excited, I have to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well we all know how David Lynch feels about small screens.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKiIroiCvZ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 I so much prefer cranky old man David Lynch to wild ingenue David Lynch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Some other whispers are saying it's going on without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 Because that half of S2 turned out so well the last time they tried it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 6, 2015 Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 They'll go without him. He's primadonna. I love him, but this is an artistic move that might even work out in the shows favor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted May 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I look at the stuffed Teddy Bear and I just imagine a stuffed Desmond Reddick doll that comes with it's own stuffed bottle of whiskey. That all said, I'm probably going to still remain cautiously optimistic about this whole affair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I look at the stuffed Teddy Bear and I just imagine a stuffed Desmond Reddick doll that comes with it's own stuffed bottle of whiskey. And a set of monster costumes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
