There's this little nugget, though: Twin Peaks returns May 21 on Showtime but expect to see an expansive promotional campaign begin rolling out very soon. (from http://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/showtime-gives-twin-peaks-fans-exactly-what-they-want-at-sxsw/ ) I believe the expansive promo campa...

I see the ring as just a plot device that serves two purposes, 1) creates a new mystery to be solved in FWWM and 2) Gives a way for Laura to symbolically reject BOB and not 'let him in'. Beyond that, we will have to wait for the new series to maybe put some new coherence on what the ring is all about.

I hope the critics fête him and kiss his feet, then he flicks the critics the birdy and goes to a different party – one that they're not invited to! Their reaction (mocking laughter) was wrong then and is wrong now. I detest cruelty and there was a serious measure of spitefulness towards Mr Lynch o...

So far, I have walked a total of 16 miles (two of them on a treadmill, as it has been getting cold outside.) Only 184 to go. I expect I will have some 5 and even 10 mile days that will be needed form my '200 Miles to the Black Lodge' goal. Also, another note: I finally broke down and purchased the T...

How are PayTV shows typically promoted? To be honest, I've never really noticed any promotion for cable or streaming shows except for ads on IMDB.

Would they advertise an HBO show on one of the networks, for example?

Then there's the question of a Showtime red carpet premier in L.A. in advance of 5/21. No hope of getting in to that, but I'd like to be out front on the street for stargazing. -Mordeen Mordeen, I was actually thinking they might do something like that. Have you heard any word about it? Of course, ...

I think the real advertising campaign is going to be the show itself. If it's as good as we anticipate, it should take off like a firestorm starting May 21.

You must have missed MJA's attacks against Showtime, Frost, and Lynch. Both professional and personal. After all of that there is 100% no chance of his return. In fact, one of my biggest questions is how they will deal with his absence since he refused at the 11th hour. The discussion on if they ar...

On the contrary, I consider Phantom Menace the second best in the franchise (Empire being first). I did not really get into the Star Wars franchise until the prequels. The original three are 'kiddie shows' - with the sole exception of Empire Strikes Back- while the prequels are for a more mature au...

It's pure selfishness on my part. Suffering through 20+ years of thinking it would never return was like losing a child. Sounds cheesy, but TP was as big an influence on me as Star Wars was in 1977-1983. Now that we have it back, I don't want it to be milked or strung out. Hell, even if it ends on ...

I am sure Showtime would love to split it up. I am assuming the only reason it's running so unusually long for a cable series is because Lynch wants it run nonstop. Agreed. I think most of their decisions are coming from Lynch. I'm aware of all these things you put forth. The reason I asked is beca...

It's very premature to talk about S4 when we haven't seen a lick of Season 3. I remember being excited when Lost announced they would have two or three more seasons mapped out. By the time the second to last season came about, I had completely lost interest in the show and to this day, I've never se...

Yes, the season will run weekly until it's done. There has never been any official statement or even hint that they were considering breaking the season up into halves - that was purely fan speculation. You obviously understand how the industry works better than most, so here's a question: isn't it...

Anyone seen this yet?

I found one review that gave it a B+.
