COOP!

I still can't believe this is really happening. I saw the news yesterday and I almost cried.

If they would actually wrap up the storyline and give the story the conclusion it deserves, it would lay to rest one of the great disappointments of modern TV history. On the other hand, if they botch it, it will perpetuate the shame. I don't see much middle ground here.
I'll probably wait until it's done, read the reviews, and if they're good, dedicate a rainy Saturday to binge-watch it. |
this is awesome! David Lynch is my hero lol
|
Saw this yesterday, got so excited.
|
You can't reheat a souffle. But who knows? Might be alright.
|
a reason to live another year!!!!
Probably in my top 3 all-time favorite series!!!! |
I thought we already had closure with 'Twin Peaks, fire walk with me' ?
|
I honestly don't think there was a more revolutionary moment in broadcast programming [ie, excepting breaking news, sports, etc] than the pilot of Twin Peaks.
One could argue Hill Street Blues in retrospect, and Friends and Seinfeld revitalized some aspects of the sitcom, but that TP pilot was like a shotgun blast to the chest, and changed what people thought was possible on broadcast TV, and certainly expanded into the innovations in basic and pay cable, for decades to come. The Twin Peaks pilot is probably, or at least jockeys with my 3 SACD set of 'Jazz at the Pawnshop,' the most I spent on a single piece of entertainment. Some $35 for a region-free DVD from Eastern Europe. |

Love the movie, by the way. |
I was too cool for tv in '90, so I never watched the original. I fired it up on Netflix last night, holy crud, this show is awesome.

I've been watching this on Netflix, Kyle McLaughlin is awesome in this show.

By the way, Blue Velvet is a pretty good movie. Dennis Hopper = epic in that movie. |

Kyle's been in a lot of stinkers too. Quirks of a working actor. When you can say your role in Showgirls isn't even on the bottom half of your resume, yeesh!! He's playing a hilarious part on The Good Wife right now. He's also HILARIOUS as the mayor of Portlandia. |
I've never seen "Twin Peaks" but now that it's on Netflix, I may give it a shot. Ironically, one of the first people I befriended immediately after moving to L.A. played Leo Johnson.

It holds up quality-wise, but I don't know that its revolutionary nature can ever be recreated. However, I am also kind of curious how it would be judged by someone who can watch it AS a precursor of what's to come, kind of like people today who independently come to appreciate the genius of Citizen Kane given ITS time and place. That said, I don't want to over-hype it. The best advice I can give is sit down and watch the pilot trying your best to be a late 80s network TV viewer vaguely aware of David Lynch and not much else.

I thought it was cool that Tarantino named Pitt's character after Eric's dad. |

Meant to add, I'd put it on the spectrum of the pilots of Hill Street Blues, ER and Lost as markers in the evolution of network TV.

so riddle me this batman,
the series takes place in real time, 25 years later. if laura palmer is dead, her look alike cousin is dead, then how the **** can sheryl lee be in this cast? there was a scene leaked even, where laura was at the front of her old house. |

Might have been the strangest show to ever air on network tv.
Incredible it made the air in 1990 when tv tv was still fairly safe and conservative. |

if you want a really short, and really really violent pseudo version of twin peaks, check out 'Utopia'.

now we know the basic setup for the new series. i am really interested to know if he mixes anything in the show regarding his belief 9/11 was an inside job. |

We're about a month out from S3 premiere
I'm almost through rewatching S1 and S2. I forgot how funny Pete is in the show. Something about his eyes and facial expressions can be hilarious. I'm not sure what to expect from S3 |
Reminds me I need to rewatch at least the early ones and final ep before this is back. Fairly curious how well it has aged since I watched it roughly 12 years ago. At the time I was wondering how the hell something like this was on network TV.
I'm hoping Lynch still has it since he hasn't directed much in quite a while and have been missing him. |
I've watched all but the last 4-5 episodes of season 2.
I've read that Lynch said season 2 went so off-the-rails in parts due to pressure from the network to reveal Laura Palmer's killer. I also read recently from him that fans should definitely watch the movie "Fire walk with me" before watching the upcoming new episodes. I've been saving that, so it looks like it's about time to wrap it all up. Cant wait! |
I only watched season 1. The hot chicks were one of the reasons I watched.

I watched on regular TV. Advanced options did not yet exist. Late '80s. Madchen Amick made me hard every time she came on screen. Also the chick who dressed as a schoolgirl a lot. Can't remember her name. Love to see her naked back then.

I made it about halfway through the pilot about a month ago. Just can't get into it for whatever reason.

Teaser that came out earlier this week. |
Just one more week.
|
Is this just the old episodes or restarting the series?
|
it's a continuation of the series 25 years later. :D
|
This is going to be great!
|
2 hour premiere tonight plus I think the next few episodes will be available to stream. Gotta be up early for work but hopefully I'll get through the premiere.
My expectations aren't high but we'll see how it turns out. |
how much time now? i will have to wait for it to be uploaded on ch131 :D
|
I watched the first 45 minutes last night. Super weird, bad acting, and confusing.
|
Watched the first 4 episodes last night with no expectations after all this time and a bit surprised just how much I liked it. Incredibly odd/surreal even by Lynch standards.
|
Is the prior series of ANY importance to this present?
I have the seasons on DVD, but don't feel like digging them out and watching them [saw the show first run, watched the first season when it first came out of DVD, . . . 2004ish??]. Trying to decide whether to go forward from 'season 3' now/soon start season 1 and watch season 3 when caught up or just wait on the whole thing until I have more time. |
Its of some importance but so far S3 is pretty different from the original run which I watched for the only time back when the DVDs were first out. S2 is really uneven after Lynch left and morphed into some shitty soap opera plots which makes the time commitment a bit rough. Lynch comes back for the last episode which you could probably get away with watching and checking wikipedia if you want to refresh a bit. So far the only thing that is probably key is where things left off with Cooper.

i don't want to spoil anything but would say this continuation started out really good. as well the fact its on showtime the restrictions are fewer and it pays off. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a_-A7WQgu-I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |

This is absolutely outstanding. I've watched all 4 streaming episodes now and this has exceeded all expectations. David Lynch is goddamn genius and a national treasure.
|
Mildly surprised there has been so little talk about this but figure it's the same reason some of my friends haven't watched it saying they didn't watch the origional series.

I liked the film much better than the series. Is this more like the film or more like old TP?... |

id say the new series is a step above fire walk with me. maybe its as simple as how tv has changed, but it has a very lost highway vibe to it as well.
|
The series is a culmination of all of Lynch's work to this point really. It's completely new but also has a "greatest hits" vibe to it. If you're a fan of Lynch, you'll LOVE this. If you are a fan of Twin Peaks more than a David Lynch fan, you may or may not struggle with it. But I think it's completely brilliant so far.
|
I could watch Dougie for hours.
|
Holy ****ing shit.

Watched most recent episode again and made just a little more sense this time. This is some amazing stuff.

Yeah, so I just watched the first 5 episodes of the original 90's Twin Peaks over the last 2 days. It had been recommended before by multiple friends, but I had memories of watching an episode or two randomly in the second season forever ago, having no clue about the story, and it just seemed so weird and irrational. But now I'm approaching it decades later, without really knowing a single thing about it other than it confused the hell out of me when I tried to get into it back in the day.
So what the **** am I watching? But please, don't even tell me, cause I'm not going to check this thread again till I'm completely caught up. Just wanted to share my goofy discovery of total confusion and intrigue of what's to come at this point in the series. The random dream sequences are really messing with my brain right now. Nothing makes sense, but I'm so invested I might watch the rest of season 1 before going to sleep........ |

This is some of the best stuff I've ever seen at its high points. The past few episodes have been parrticularly great. Didn't skip for the holiday weekend and getting a 2 part ending Sunday.
|
sorry, but technically this is not a spoiler if you are aware of the show...
love to see agent cooper return. :thumb: |
What a total mind****. David Lynch is a genius. I hope they figure out how to make more. I'm hooked. All other TV is going to feel empty by comparison.
|
Yep.
That was singular. And incredible. |
