Twin Peaks, anyone..? because, if so...

ooh ooh ooh

I never saw TP first time round.  My mate says I should watch it; says it right up my street.  The only nice thing my dumpster ex did for me was install a "special" firestick, so there's no excuse...

Deffo, Sheena.  I rewatched the whole series last year.  Be warned, I thought the first half hour of the first episode didn't stand up well, seemed kind of soapy and over-melodramatic... I wouldn't blame the uninitiated for turning off, but you need to adjust to the odd world of TP. Pretty sure you'll be hooked by the end of the first episode.  It's a truly unique show...

Still holding my breath on this.

BUMP...

So it's a little teaser with almost no new footage, but I thought I'd post it...

May can't come soon enough.

Only 18 days until the return of Twin Peaks (one day less if you're in the USA)...

Can't wait... to be honest I'm still disturbed by the last scene, even after 25 years, desperately hoping for closure!  Spoilers...

How have I missed this?!  Can this be good??? Too bad I'm at work right now!

Twin Peaks returns within the next 24 hours...

Just watched the feature length new episode.  NO SPOILERS HERE!

Bloody loved it.  Expectations met and exceeded.  And that's with the weight of a quarter century of those same expectations.  It blew me away, even better than I hoped it would be.

Be warned, it's a bit slow for the first hour and mainly relates to new characters that weren't in the original series.  Reminded me a lot of Mulholland Drive or Lost Highway.  Still creepy and oddly funny in places.  I'm sure that these characters will have more resonance in future episodes.

The second hour... damn.  Blew my tiny little mind.  Every bit as weird as the last episode of the original series but with so much stuff relating to the original show and the previous hour.  I can't say anything else without spoilers but hardcore TP fans will love it (not sure what newbies would make of it, though...  )

I genuinely think that this is one of the best things that David Lynch ever did... be interested to see what other TP fans thought of it... 

[Stephanie]

Ok, haven't had a chance to watch it yet...but I'm getting more and more excited!

[Master Ray]

The next two episodes are also available via legal sources (in the UK anyway), just checked them out... truly nightmarish in places and oddly funny in others... and more 'old' characters are now returning... love the way that there are no cast credits at the start of every episode so it's a real surprise when they turn up.   

Loving it so far...

[Wessexy Witch]

I have seen the first 2 episodes .....mmmmmm...not sure how I feel about it.....was a bit slow to start.....I'm worried it might be weird for weird's sake though....I'll stick with it and see how it goes..

WW (does that also stand for Wonder Woman as well as Wessexy Witch?), be warned, episode three delves into truly Eraserhead levels of oddness... I mean proper mad shit.  But there is a 'proper' storyline evolving, slowly but surely, and more old characters are showing up.  Episode 4 is definately drifting into classic Peaks territory, my favourite episode so far.  Stick with it. So much stuff going on, a lot of which I missed, this Empire review puts it better than I ever could...

[Master Ray]

Is anyone here still watching TP? 

Personally, I'm loving it, up to episode 6 and it's way freakier than I was expecting!  Proper mad shit that bears little relation to what went before.  Yet little by little, it seems to be drifting back to the series that so many people loved in the 90's. More old characters showing up unexpectedly, not to mention some incredibly funny / sad / violent bits... Kyle Maclachlan is playing a blinder in his multiple roles.

Am I the only person on the NMA forum watching it?   

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Well - no 

Dunno why because I was quite excited about it coming out but I think it might be because I will have to try and find a stream for the old series before trying to understand the new one. Also from what I gather (although I have steered away from any full on reviews) it ain't that good. Be honest with me MR (taking off yer fanboy head for a moment) is it worth it?
