Post by: Bloodwake on January 23, 2008, 08:04:54 PM
I just got through the first season

THAT

SHIT


I know it's supposed to suck starting with the next season, but SHIT, totally took all of my theories about who killed Laura and fucking shat on them, then dumped them right out the fucking window.

And, I have to wait until next week to check out the rest of the show FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Those last 2 episodes of season 1 are probably the single best episodes in serialized television that I have ever seen.  It's all downhill from there, though :(

The first part of Season 2 is still pretty good.

Trainwreck.  The show doesn't pick up again until the very last episode and even then it's kind of a letdown.  Seemed kind of cheep.

Still, there's nothing like TP when it's hitting on all cylinders.

Yeah, but there's still a huge quality drop, and it doesn't help that season 1 ends on a cliffhanger, leaving you with an unsatisfying conclusion in 2.

Is there a story here?  Did a key writer leave?  Studio interference? I want answers!

It was originally supposed to only be 7/8 episodes.  Then it became a hit and they decided to drag it out.  Actually, when the season 1 finale aired, they still had not announced season 2, so the cliffhanger ending was the confirmation that there would be a season 2.

Lynch effectively left early on in season 2.  He did the first episode and I think he may have done another.

I heard he returned for the series finale.

 Bloodwake, remember to watch the movie after finishing season 2. It has DAVID BOWIE as a fellow agent to Dale Cooper. Not an amazing movie, but it is required viewing.

If I can find it I will, unless it is included with the Gold set.

Not included. It isn't that hard to find.

So, I just watched the first three episodes of Season Two.

So far, while it isn't as good as the finale (obviously) it still doesn't suck. I'm waiting for it to start sucking. All I'm seeing is basically classic Lynch weird ass shit, such as the Giant and Bob.

Still pretty good so far.

P.S.: Donna being a badass IS really shitty. Lara Flynn Boyle was slightly hot and I appreciated her performance the first season, but this new stuff isn't that great. This stuff with the weird guy in the trailer park is quite interesting though.

The lull hits around the middle of the season.

Alright. I heard that they finish the Laura Palmer shit early. That would make sense.

Seriously, why the fuck would they solve that mystery in the middle of a season?

Lynch actually plays a role in the last couple of episodes.  His character is fuck awesome.


In college a couple of friends and I scraped enough change (we were poor) to buy the box set on VHS.  We tried to pace ourselves by only watching one episode a night.....but not too long into season 1 we binged on a weekend and watched all of them nonstop.

I've sort of been keeping with the Twin Peaks blog on AV Club. I finally watched the conclusion of the Laura Palmer story arc. There was some damn good stuff.

I turned it off about two episodes after that. Honestly, it was depressing. I really don't want to see this amazing show destroyed by Super Nadine and Bobby's military dad randomly disappearing.

Still, even with the subpar episodes, this is probably one of the best television shows ever made. I'm definitely buying the Gold Set this summer whenever I have money.

The last couple of episodes are pretty good, but the 5 or so after the mystery is solved are the absolute pits.

Oh my god, you aren't kidding. We go from the

Leland reveal as "Bob"

which is probably one of the best episodes in the entire series to seeing Nadine go back to fucking high school. Seriously. What the fuck?

You have to be shitting me.

Seriously, since the last episode is supposed to be decent, I'm going to hang on and finish the series out, but if there isn't anything of real importance I might just skip there instead of deal with the bullshit.
