E: Who was the even younger love interest? Annie was a few years older than Audrey.

My understanding was that the actress herself was younger or something, which made MacLahan's stated objection a bit funny. Apparently I was also under the mistaken impression that they were portrayed to be about the same age, as I haven't gotten to those parts yet.

EDIT: I vaguely recall Audrey's actress complaining about something like that. Am I wrong?

The only reason they cut the Coop/Audrey relationship short was because MacLachlan was dating Lara Flynn Boyle and she didn't want him making out with Fenn on camera because she didn't like her in real life.

Weren't they basically making it up as they went along by that point of the second season. Like it was never really intended to run for that long so there was no overarching narrative planned ahead.

twin peaks is a show about a small town and a cast of eccentric people with all sorts of dirty secrets

the show also features, coincidentally a murder mystery which is like a side thing

Imagine a world where Twin Peaks never revealed the killer, and the 25th season ran this year.

This. The studio interference was making them reveal the killer because that's what they thought people wanted to see. How no one went "Wait, if they're watching because they want to see who the killer is, why will they continue to watch after we reveal it?" I'll never understand.

I happen to be making my way through this show and just hit the episode in Season 2 where We find out Leland is Bob. So far I've enjoyed Season 2 more than Season 1, but due to everyone saying S2 sucks I get the feeling it's going to go downhill from here. Posting so I remember to read this thread in a week when I've finished the show and don't have to worry about spoilers.

You've got a couple episodes left until it hits a major slump, then it's bad (with a few cool spots like David Duchovny showing up) until the last arc starts.

leland reveal is the high point, it's basically where it almost feels like they wanted to end the show, everything is wrapped up and maybe one epilogue episode would close it nicely, they literally start completely new story arcs at the end of the episode after that as if they really didn't plan it.

Doesn't Windom Earle get mentioned pre-reveal? It seems like they just continued on with the story arcs they were already planning (like the Cooper getting in trouble for Canada thing) but without the murder as a spine. So they had to make up bullshit reasons for Cooper to stay in town despite his business there being done and the whole thing just got super shakey.

Stopping reading this thread after this post but this makes sense and it's pretty unfortunate because that reveal was some hot poo poo and Lynch really makes you think Leland is a 'nuts but the wacky type of nuts and not the maniac type of nuts' kinda guy. I love movies but I haven't managed to see any of Lynch's work so I guess I'll be going on a binge once I wrap up Peaks. I keep getting him confused with Cronenberg.

Why Laura Palmer was in so deep but rats out everyone but her father is weird.

Called that the Asian businessman was really Catherine as soon as he was on-screen. My wife argued against it. :v: nobody looks that goofy unless it's on purpose.

Oh and I guess Fire Walk With Me comes after the series, but due to the title it sure seems like it's about the Laura Palmer storyline so I dunno.

yeah, that's why i mentioned the last epilogue episode where they should have wrapped those loose ends somehow, maybe leave something as eternal mystery

going further with the canada thing was really reaching because honestly it wasn't engaging and there was no reason to give a poo poo, we already went into that as deep as it was necessary

keeping cooper in town because of that did raise an eyebrow and felt forced

fire walk with me is a prequel - it shows what was happening in town in days leading to the murder and the murder itself

the movie does have its moments and shows neat details about all the characters and has some pretty intense scenes but overall it's not really good

it's also way darker and paranormal than the show, imagine the most intense scenes from the series with all the humor and townsfolk business removed and you get the idea

it was also supposed to be the first part of a trilogy which is why it also feels half-boiled but...the other 2 movies got cancelled :v:

Not so much a coincidental side thing as a starting point. But not what the show was "about".

I've been a hipster since at least 2001, and self aware about since at least 2003, please.

So I think I had this all spoiled for me? It's really BOB possessing Laura's dad?

Also have to say, Sheriff Harry Truman might be my favorite character. So far Audrey seems cool for wanting to find Laura's killer not because they were friends, but because Laura helped Audrey's brother and that meant a lot to her. She seems genuine but may have ulterior motives I dunno

I just finished twin peaks for the first time the other day and really enjoyed it all the way through, even the parts that people didn't like in season 2. I think windom earle is loving cool as hell and all of his dialogue was really funny/interesting.

i watched fire walk with me yesterday and it was really depressing and grim but i still really enjoyed it a lot. makes you simultaneously dislike and feel sympathetic for how hosed up an individual laura really was. i didn't really understand some of the earlier scenes in the movie like the part when the one detective disappears, also the first major hallucination scene. also when cooper gets all freaky in the hallway at FBI HQ and does the thing with the security camera, followed by the david bowie scene.

please someone explain those for me

the second half of season 2 is worse than the rest of the series but this doesn't change the fact that it was still majorly entertaining and had some great scenes and honestly it was still better than anything that aired on tv for quite some time anyway

let's see, the detective most likely disappears to the black lodge after touching the ring that belonged there. he was basically way to weak for the case which needed somebody like cooper. a neat detail is that the trailer he goes to is called 'the arm' and there is a man connected to the black lodge who cut off his arm in order to escape the lodge - mike

i don't remember what was the first hallucination scene but most of them have to do with the black lodge characters and as such they're made deliberately weird/paranormal/scary in order to show that it's 'the other place' - a place different than reality

cooper going freaky is him realizing he's witnessing his own dream happening in real life to the point of dream-like, impossible situations happening. the scene with david bowie was originally way longer, it had dialogue where he explained what happened to him but in the end lynch deliberatly editted it all into a fever-like sequence. what you should take from it is that david bowie's character was an fbi agent who disappeared into the black lodge and the sequences show what he describes he saw there.

me and my girlfriend started watching twin peaks just a month or so ago and got to s2e9 like a day before they announced the show was coming back. it's funny because we decided to stop on that episode and in all honesty it seemed like a good end point, but drat

I guess we have to watch the finale at least now, but the missus doesn't want to watch it because she doesn't want to see Coop turn evil. To be honest I think it's because she fancies him, but so do I so I can't complain. Cucked by Coop. Coocked. Cupped. drat fine cucking. And HOT.
