Twin Peaks Fan Edit on Season 2

It IS! But it is also much fun and thrill to do. I am wanting to know more of what is crazy edit and I can try it if I think I can do it.

I never thought about it but less is more when dealing with Windom Earle. He is much scarier in Episode 29 than in previous episodes.
Glad you asked! (You're going to get a much more thorough answer than you bargained for. Ha!)

When I first began this, I quickly learned I'd need to outline everything in advance or else I'd end up with continuity errors. (I learned that the hard way -- I had to start over after a few weeks of work). Luckily, I still have this outline. So here's the full list of cuts:

Deep breath...

Episode 17
- Post-funeral reception at the Palmer household.
- Dr Jacoby and Big Ed admitting Nadine into high school (I moved this scene to the next episode)
- Nadine's cheerleader tryout

Episode 18
- Opening credit sequence with James on his motorcycle (I subbed in the opening of ep. 19 instead and then moved Ben's 'shadow puppet' scene one episode back so this made sense)
- Any other scene involving Little Nicky or James/Evelyn
- Nadine doing leg squats in the weight-room to impress Mike
- Lana and Dougie's wedding
- Dwayne Milford griping at the wedding reception (I was able to cut around this -- the rest of the scene remains)

Episode 19
- Any scene involving Lana, Little Nicky, or James/Evelyn
- Cooper flipping a coin when deciding between two real estate properties
- The discovery of Dougie Milford's body
- Nadine wrestling Mike
- Mike pleading with Donna to help him block Nadine's advances
- Colonel Riley discussing Major Briggs with Cooper and saying his disappearance makes 'the cold war seems like a case of the sniffles.' (I always hated this line.)
- Catherine and Pete having a champagne dinner while Josie serves them in a maid outfit (Pete's sudden, heartless transformation never made any sense.)

Episode 20
- Dick scheming with Andy about breaking into the orphanage
- Lucy reminding Cooper that she's checked the papers and found nothing on Windom Earle
- James phoning Big Ed to ask him for money followed by more Evelyn nonsense
- Audrey finding Ben reenacting the Civil War and then phoning Dr. Jacoby for help
- Andy and Dick breaking into the orphanage
- Malcolm spying on James and Evelyn
- Malcolm and Evelyn discussing James and then embracing

(I had to leave the scene between Ben and Catherine to pad my running time or else this would have been a 25 minute episode.)

Episode 21
- Audrey explaining to Bobby that 'she's the one he needs to suck up to.'
- The scene where Andy pulls off his rubber glove
- Anything involving James/Evelyn, Ben/Civil War, Little Nicky, Lana, or Donna arriving at Wallies
- The Major arriving at the sheriff's station and collapsing
- Leo arriving at Windom's cabin (I moved this scene to a later episode to delay Windom's reveal)

Episode 22
- The 'chess piece' opening credit scene is relocated to a later episode.
- Anything with James/Evelyn/Donna, and Ben's Civil War
- Anything with Windom & Leo at the cabin. (This includes him supervising Leo writing the poem to be sent to Donna, Audrey, and Shelly.
- Cooper still finds the mask of Caroline on his pillow, but the scene begins with him entering his hotel room. Windom in his wig/mustache disguise is cut.

Episode 23
- John Justice Wheeler arriving at the Great Northern/ Audrey receiving her third of Windom's poem
- I cut around around Windom leaving the poem for Shelly, but the rest of the diner scene remains
- Anything with Windom and Leo at the cabin
- James and Donna's picnic
- Ben Horne, Audrey, and John Justice Wheeler dining together
- Donna, Audrey, and Shelly meeting at the Roadhouse with Windom spying on them
- Cooper's vision of BOB is altered, and BOB's dialogue is removed. (The Josie/door knob still remains)

Episode 24
- Harry reminiscing about Josie while a saxophone wails
- Anything with Leo and Windom at the cabin
- Audrey teaching models how to strut/ Dick and Mr. Pinkel talking about the pine weasel.
- Cooper revealing the truth about Josie to Harry
- Windom showing up in disguise at Donna's house
- Audrey's and Wheeler's picnic
- Dr. Hayward discovering from Donna that Windom was at their house
- Windom, dressed as a biker, urging Shelly to enter Miss Twin Peaks
- Harry's drunken nonsense
- Mike and Nadine checking into the Great Northern
- The entire Pine Weasel scene
- Jones undressing and getting to bed with Harry

Episode 25
- Harry beating up Jones
- Any scene with Audrey and Billy Zane's tucked-in sweater
- The beginning of the scene with Cooper telling Harry his hangover cure is altered-- the part referring to Jones and 'sexual jealously' are gone
- The scene with Windom listening in on Harry, Cooper and Gordon Cole is altered. I replaced Windom's reaction shots with shots of the radio transmitter, giving the impression that someone is listening, but not revealing who.
- All scenes involving Leo and Windom at the cabin. This includes him selecting his 'queens.'
- Windom accosting Audrey at the library
- Billy Zane revealing his love for Audrey to Ben Horne
- Windom entering Owl Cave and turning the exposed cylinder (I replaced this with Leo finding Windom at the cabin)

Episode 26
- Any scene with Windom and Leo at the cabin. This includes him shooting the stoner with a bow & arrow
- Dick telling Ben Horne he needs money for his pine weasel-bitten nose
- Both scenes involving Andy & Dick's wine-tasting
- Billy Zane and Cooper discussing love by the fireplace
- Donna asking her parents about Ben Horne at the dinner table
- The half moon/hooded figure
- Cooper finding the giant chess piece at the gazebo

Episode 27
- The opening scene with the giant chess piece
- All Audrey/ Billy Zane scenes. This includes the race to the airport with Pete. This unfortunately meant I had to cut Pete seeing Josie's face/ Ben being startled.
- Cooper meeting with Donna, Audrey, and Shelly at the sheriff's station
- All scenes with Windom and Leo at the cabin
- The scene where The Major is shot with a poisoned dart is altered -- I cut around Windom's horse costume. All you see now is his hand shooting the gun
- Windom interrogating The Major

Episode 28
- Audrey lamenting to Ben that she'll never see Billy Zane again
- Lucy's dance (I tried to cut out Windom's Log Lady costume but couldn't do it entirely, but getting rid of Lucy's dance eliminated a lot of it.)

And that's it! So my new season 3 looks like this:

#1: Episode 15 unedited
#2: Episode 16 unedited
#3: Episode 17 with two scenes of Episode 18
#4: Episodes 18+19 with a few scenes of episode 17
#5: Episode 20
#6: Episodes 21+22
#7: Episode 23
#8: Episodes 24+25 with the ending of episode 21
#9: The beginning of episode 22 followed by episodes 26+27
#10: Episode 28
#11: Episode 29 unedited

The only real problem I have, beside Audrey completely disappearing, is Leo wandering around in the woods for a few episodes before finding Windom's cabin. That, and sometimes the credits don't match who's in the episodes since scenes were moved/cut.

I'll try and figure out how to upload it to Rapidshare so I can get some constructive criticism...

Wait, then what actually got left in?

While I enjoyed the - David Duchovny/Jean Renault/Ernie Niles subplot, I think that the whole MT Wentz plot was pretty awful. I would think that cutting those stories would get you to Windom Earle a lot quicker.

I often wondered why Audrey wasn't poking her nose around the whole Renault subplot and I would have expected Audrey to try and help Cooper much like how he helped her get out of One Eyed Jacks.

Cutting those storylines would maybe move the story forward better even though Duchovny is pretty awesome in it.

Another question on these cuts, what are the major gaps that couldn't be resolved when cutting? And what about the quality? Does it look just as good as the DVD? Has anyone tried doing an edit from HD sources?

I have seen many Star Wars fan edits that are actually better than the original and that's what has drawn me to this thread. So many possibilities....

So are others also trying to attempting their own Twin Peaks fan edit? I will post mine one day but it must also be perfect.

I'm in the process now of exporting the episodes to AVI. I'll wrap them up in a torrent so you can see them if you wish...

uncle_fugly · Post by **uncle_fugly** » Wed Jul 25, 2012 12:50 pm

I've never seeded my own torrent before, so let me know if this does or doesn't work...

It doesn't work (for me). It says "Ok DHT backup only" and there is no source. Sorry...

Mysterioso · Post by **Mysterioso** » Sun Jul 29, 2012 3:17 pm

I am unable too...

fantastic avatar, Mysterioso!

Agreed. In many ways more than just an avatar.

uncle_fugly · Post by **uncle_fugly** » Tue Aug 14, 2012 1:46 pm

Was anyone able to download these off of rapidshare?

I was very interested in checking out your fan edits (they sound fantastic) but unfortunately, the download time via Rapidshare was just too long. The first episode was going to take 2-3 hours to download, and my internet connection is occasionally spotty when it comes to very big downloads like that, so I had to give up on it.
