Title: Twin Peaks S1 is still like, the best single season of television ever
Post by: TVC15 on July 16, 2008, 01:53:04 AM: I could probably watch it endlessly on loop. It's paced so well, and it's still really exciting how things come together for the season finale. It's also got really great visuals for a TV show, with lots of Lynch-feeling camera shots (even though he only directed a few of the episodes). I wish there were more than 8 episodes, though :( I guess it is unrealistic that they could have maintained that level of quality for very long, but it still sucks that they couldn't resolve the cliffhanger while they were still on fire.

No, just to Snoqualmie. There's other TP stuff in North Bend, too, right? I recall hearing that Snoqualmie is where the waterfall is, but the town is more based off North Bend, or something.

Snoqualmie Falls is right next to North Bend, and Mt. Si is looming in the background. It's all in the same area.

According to the AV Club, David Lynch actually directed that commercial (he's done a surprising number of commercials. He even did a bunch of Playstation ones, although I don't think they aired in the US)
