Yeah, we're all waiting for this, and there have been several threads about it.

I don't know why, Thor. The original series shot its wad in the first season. Beyond that, it was just an exercise in bizarreness for its own sake, and not very interesting or in the end even satisfying. I was a fan of it from the beginning, but the second season killed it for me.

After all this time since it originally debuted, I can't get too excited about this.

I also believe David Lynch creatively is a Johnny-one-note.

Watch THE SAND PEBBLES instead, Thor. You'll get more meaningful stuff out that old movie than out of anything David Lynch can now hatch from of his limited imagination.

You're so cute when you're trying to provoke, Rory! wink

I'm actually one of those who think TWIN PEAKS got better, more interesting, darker and deeper the longer it went on. I know it's popular to say that it "lost some steam" after the first season, but I couldn't possibly disagree more.

I'm not trying to provoke anything, I'm just making my argument in as forceful terms as I can muster -- because it's how I really feel about it. TWIN PEAKS went downhill after the first season. It then got cancelled and rightly so.

And just what the hell does writing "this" mean? You got me.

It means I completely agree with what Thor said.

Oh. That's unfortunate.

The very thing why the use of that expression is in the list of "Phrases that need to go", and rightfully so.

I read it. It was not at all what I was expecting, but it was pretty good! I'll be vague in my description below, because it's not possible to blank out spoilers here, but I'm happy to give any more information you may want.

The book is told as a series of journal entries, diary entries, newspaper articles, etc - a collection being researched by a modern day FBI agent (probably a new character from the series?)

Maybe 1/2 of the book doesn't involve Twin Peaks characters at all - talks about the history of the greater Twin Peaks area from the ~1700s on, and encounters with the supernatural within.

1/4 follows one very unlikely Twin Peaks character -who frankly you may or may not remember from the original series - from approx. 1930s onward, and their encounters with the supernatural in the Twin Peaks area and other places. There is a lot of crossover with a lot of the "older" Twin Peaks characters in this time period, in their younger years.

1/4 is from approx. the 1980s onward, a little more information about Twin Peaks characters and the area, but not a ton.

There are only about two pages that take place after the original series - and this is almost immediately after. They're the most exciting part for me, naturally.

Thanks for the summary!

I have watched three of the four episodes so far.

If the original Twin Peaks was a stylistic and spiritual successor to Blue Velvet, this new series seems to be reaching back to Eraserhead and even some of Lynch's early short films. For example, the long, awkward pauses between lines, the sound design, the visual effects. I have no idea where this is going. I can't help but wonder if this was the show that Lynch wanted to do in 1990.
