Just a couple episodes in, but holy christ this is how you write a main character.
Also I can already see that this show has influenced like a billion other works, only I didn't know what all these things were from until now. >_>

(Pretty much) entire female cast of Twin Peaks mega hot.

Yet not one of them in Babes Contest. Sigh. I told myself I was going to nom some then just forgot.

Hey I just realized David Lynch likes casting attractive actresses, huh. That has to be one of the many reasons why I like him.

Awesome, Twin Peaks is my favorite show of all time. I tried showing it to my current girlfriend too. She loves Lost and though I never watched Lost I heard it was really derivative of Twin Peaks and a huge influence upon its creation. Sadly she decided she didn't want to watch any more after episode 2. EPISODE 2! The best episode of the series. I don't want to be one of those people, but I was kinda floored on how she couldn't like it.

My best friend, also female, said something like Twin Peaks doesn't appeal to girls as much. Both of them said they were getting bored and that it moved to slowly. Is this true? I have more male than female friends, yet most of my friends that love Twin Peaks are male. Oddly enough, my own mother was a huge fan of Twin Peaks (first season only) as it aired. She even has the opening theme song single on cassette.

The show goes seriously downhill about a third of the way into the second season when David Lynch and Mark Frost leave because the network wouldn't give them full creative control. They both come back for the series finale though, and it's superb.

Yeah, the show has had a huge influence. Surprisingly so, considering how things turn out with it. Still, even at its worst it's still fairly good, so enjoy it.

Also, hideto, my mother was a fan of the show too. That's the only reason I really knew it existed when I did my watchthrough a while back. I can't imagine it not being female friendly if both our moms loved it.

Diane, 11:30 a.m., February Twenty-fourth. Entering the town of Twin Peaks, five miles south of the Canadian border, twelve miles west of the state line. I've never seen so many trees in my life. As W. C. Fields would say, I'd rather be here than Philadelphia. Fifty-four degrees on a slightly overcast day. Weatherman said rain. If you could get paid that kind of money for being wrong sixty percent of the time, it'd beat working. Mileage is seventy-nine thousand three hundred forty-five, gauge is on reserve, riding on fumes here, I've got to tank up when I get into town. Remind me to tell you how much that is. Lunch was, uh, six dollars and thirty-one cents at the Lamplighter Inn, that's on Highway Two near Lewis Fork. That was a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat, slice of cherry pie, and a cup of coffee. Damn good food. Diane, if you ever get up this way that cherry pie is worth a stop. Okay. Looks like I'll be meeting up with the, ah, Sheriff Harry S. Truman. Shouldn't be too hard to remember that. He'll be at the Calhoun Memorial Hospital. I guess we're going to go up to intensive care and take a look at that girl that crawled down the railroad tracks off the mountain. When I finish there I'll be checking into a motel. I'm sure the sheriff will be able to recommend a clean place, reasonably priced. That's what I need, a clean place, reasonably priced.

Is that how early they leave? I can never remember. I think I take the stellar season 2 premier and project it out onto the first third or half of season 2.

It's totally worth watching the whole thing, though.

Yeah, I've no intention of giving up. Season 1 was some of the best TV I've ever seen, and the season 2 premire was amazing as well. Can only imagine that the finale is something to be experienced.
How good is the movie, by the way? I'm guessing that it's pretty Cooper centric, so I certainly hope it's as good as it could be!

Yeah, I had heard that it was a prequel, that's why I guessed it was primarily about Cooper. (Seeing as he has BY FAR the most potential to work with in a prequel)

her reason was for not wanting to show her breasts, sorry Xiahou, really not spoiling anything here. But then years later what was a failed Lara Flynn Boyle doing in movies? Full nude sex scenes. She so dumb.

See, episode 8 is so different from the last like 6 episodes.
The last 6 episodes we had characters like Jerry and Lucy disappear, and a bunch of characters (many of them new) entered and left SUPER sporadically. Now Lucy, Jerry, and Hank are all back. I can't say I liked episodes 3-7 very much, though 1-2 were pure bloody genius. Not looking forward to what everyone seems to agree is the shark jumping moment. >_>

Hell yeah Twin Peaks. Also if you're digging the peaks, gotta recommend a lot of David Lynch's movies, Blue Velvet (also starring Kyle MacLachlan), Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr., Wild at Heart, etc.

Blue Velvet is one of my all time favorite movies. Similar to Twin Peaks in that it's set in a sleepy small town with a seedy underbelly. I'm a big Lynch fan in general, I'd recommend just about anything he's done.

Which scene are you talking about, exactly? >_>
By the way, I just finished episode 10. The "mystery" is pretty much over now, so I guess we'll see how I like how it's coming from here. If any of you have seen me post in a 999 topic, you'll know how much I hate paranormal stuff in my mysteries. While that whole angle has made me a bit "ehhhh" with this show at times, I must say that the execution is waaaay the hell better here. I can't really say that I'm happy that now it's looking like we're just going to delve totally into that for the rest of the series, but maybe I'll be surprised!

Just finished episode 16. XFD that ending, I don't even know what to say.
Anyway, the later parts of this season aren't nearly as bad as I was expecting, but it's certainly not even close to the genius of the first season. The first season was extremely tightly written, and all the stories flowed together flawlessly. Season 2, for the most part, is just isolated story arcs working themselves out while Coop and Harry jump in to resolve things in them from time to time. It also feels padded to holy hell, and I don't think most of the characters are being utilized as they really should be. (Hank is the biggest offender here, holy hell he took a nosedive after the season 1 finale.)
Having said ALL of that, I'm still loving this show. With Lynch and Frost coming back for the finale to leave a good taste in the last bite, I can see myself marking this down as one of my favorite shows come the end of it all.

Probably gonna watch the movie tomorrow, kinda hoping that gives a bit more closure than the series ending does! (Though since it's a prequel I don't really see that happening)
