Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION The Anywhere Machine do you think 'TWIN PEAKS' will ever be explained !!??

as as BIG fan of the original first and second season, i always thaought i pretty much knew what happened !!

but after being on holiday last week, i re-watched the FIRST season and then the film 'FIRE WALK WITH ME' [ just need to dig out my original videos that i recorded of season TWO ]

but i felt the film was very confusing and although it showedthe back story to LAURA PALMER, it just confused me more on re-watching it after all these years !!

what are anyone else thoughts on 'TWIN PEAKS' !!??

my biggest question is what is the concept of BOB, ie how could he be LELAND and then AGENT COOPER !!!!!

and at the end of season TWO i really hope AUDREY survived ??

i'll let you know my thoughts on season TWO when i find my old videos ......

Matthew.

This goes back a ways, but as far as I think I remember, BOB was some kind of evil entity that came from the Red Lodge, some other dimensional place, that could inhabit different hosts. He was Leland, jumped to someone else I think then jumped to Cooper somehow after he entered the Lodge. I'm sure there are grey areas, but I used to kinda know what it all meant...

I never watched an episode of Twin Peaks(don't kill me now for that,heheh), but have heard good things about it . Would I like this series if I'm a big horror & sci-fi fan?

This is exactly what I remember Drake. BOB was supposed to be an ancient Native American spirit, full of evil. At least that I recall. And he jumped from person to person. I wish they could have followed up with it as Twin Peaks was one of my guilty pleasures. I wish they would release the whole series on DVD (I seem to recall there being legal problems with season two but I may be wrong).

I think you'd like it kara. Especially if you want to see Fox Mulder in drag.

I always tuned in for a slice of pie and a great cup of joe

I think it's the best TV show EVER. I am not joking. When it first aired I was about 13. I knew it was "cool" in a very wierd and unique way. My fiance on the other hand was a die hard fan since it first aired (she was also 13). We bought season 1 and then rented all of season 2...and then watched Fire Walk With Me. We are both convinced it is the best show ever and think David Lynch IS God.

Bob IMO is a spirit...a local ancient evil spirit of the woods. It's that metaphysical thing of the woods being vast and creepy. Even in this day and age you go somewhere like the pacific northwest...and you get that spooky feeling (the Shining!).

I also hope Audrey survived. Personally I think she did.

For those who haven't ever watched TP...DO IT!

we are watching it now.!

Friends of mine bought the entire series on VHS tape (I remember there were like 10 tapes and together they read TWIN PEAKS across the spines) but I've never heard of a DVD compilation. I'd love to see that!

PS Fox Mulder in drag? Magnificent!

You can get the full series on VHS but only season one, in two different formats, is available on DVD.

I was only a little tacker when this came onto Aussie TV, but I still loved it! So moody and atmospheric... Thanks for the pic Scooter! :-D So many memories... Bob was so scary as a kid - my sister would hide behind the couch when he came on.

I was a huge fan of the first season but I always got the impression the writers were all about setting a weird tone and great opening episodes, but then had no idea where to take the storyline. I have a hard time believing the whole "bob" scenario was already in place in their minds when they premiered. It's sort of what my fear for Battlestar galactica and Lost is like, starting off really well, but is there an actual story arc in mind or are they just winging it?

I hate contrived storylines.

Twin Peaks is also a really good answer for an tv or 90's triva games.

I think that the creators of new shows like BSG and Lost have learned from shows like Twin Peaks and X-Files. I do think that they do have a clear begining and a clear ending in mind. I think the middle is written but how they get there is not written in stone.

I was in love with this show when it came out -- the moodiness, the mystery, the satire, the inventiveness, not to mention one hot girl after another. Like many others, I felt it went off the rails after awhile. I know some felt the "who killed Laura" mystery went on too long, but for me I saw that as the jumping on point as opposed to the point of the story so as much as I wanted to know, I didn't mind them dragging that part.

I started to lose the show when things seemed to be weird for the sake of being weird and it started to seem too random to me (same thing happened in "Northern Exposure" imo). It started as a show about a normal town with a sinister underbelly, but when things are weird all the time, it kinda loses the point.

NORTHEN EXPOSURE was such a good show. It lost it when Rob Morrow decided he wanted to leave and then took a whole damn season to leave. If you want to leave, just leave!

I miss Ed, Shelly and the quiet recpetationist.

Wait a minute... this thread has gone this long without a boob joke?

Have I wandered onto the wrong site or something?

Remember, due to the time distortion in the Black Lodge, events there took place 25 years in the future. Assuming most of the cast survives the next nine years (and Kyle M. will agree to work with Lynch again), I'll see you all in 2015!

Since I'm a big X-Files fan, I think I'm going to have to check this series out. Although that pictures of Duchovny in drag is kind of scary. Ack, my eyes.

wow !! how strange ..... LELAND PALMER [ Ray Wise ] has just turned up in the current episode of '24' in the UK !!

and it's great reading your thoughts on TWIN PEAKS !!

and as everyone has mentioned i loved everything about this show too !!

i thought the cast was great, and all those amazing female characters, i always thought PEGGY LIPTON [ Norma ] was like a grown up SUPERGIRL !!

i've seen on a few websites that season 2 may well be coming to DVD !!?? heres hoping .....

i'm gonna start watching my season 2 videos this week !!

Matthew.

Didn't realize you were that close to us in 24 episodes. I think it is great seeing Wise as the vice prez, and he had me fooled. At least so far.

And his Twin Peaks wife, Sara Palmer (Grace Zabriskie), is currently a regular on Big Love.

The guy who played Laura's dad was in "Good Night and Good Luck." IIRC, he's played other kinda unstable/bad guys since Twin Peaks, hasn't he?

My wife and I used to watch Twin Peaks every week. We liked how it was so weird and bizarre. It felt kinda like the tv version of "Blue Velvet" though I'd have to re-watch BV to remember all the weirdness that went on in that movie.

I do seem to recall losing interest in TP after a while. The plot seemed to stray. It was a creepy finale, though. I don't remember if we rented the movie...

I loved "Twin Peaks." In college, my friends and I used to grab instant coffee from the dorm cafeteria, and, if we had some extra money, we'd get a cherry pie at the grocery store.

I had the books (the secret diary and the "visitor's guide" to Twin Peaks), and I sold my pack of trading cards on eBay a couple years ago for $30.

Ah, memories.

Good news on season 2! If you live in Australia.

well that's good to hear !!

hopefully the REST of tyhe world, shouldn't be too far behind !!??

Matthew.

Ill be getting this! I have Season 1 but for some (stupid) reason it doesnt have the pilot episode. grr.
