Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017

I kind of like Twin Peaks: The Return. There's something so simple and pure or naive about it. I on the other hand strongly dislike it. It has a unnecessary dumbness and on-the-nose-ness about it, also almost a disgusting Marvel /capesh*t aura which is even worse. Why why why on earth couldn't it j...

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...

just grab the thing off the internet however you have to guys. it's a tv show, a swat team isn't going to kick in your door. worse case scenario you get a warning from your isp that nothing is going to come from. and you know you're going to buy the bluray box set and every tie in novel anyway.

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...

Are there any of you, besides me? It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I won't be able to do it legally, as I can't subscribe to Showtime and not one TV network in my vicinity has done the deal with them to air the series. So, I'll wait till I can do it legally or maybe even till the show ...

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...

The first time I heard of Sky was here on Dugpa, to be honest. I'll look into it, maybe I can work something out, but I'm definitely prepared for the worst.

And greetings to Vienna, neighbour! :)

Re: Those of you who WON'T watch the series as it goes along...

Thanks for your sympathies, guys. I'm generally not against shady Internet options to obtain otherwise unobtainable cultural material - I know my experience with and knowledge of the movies and television stuff would be decimated (besides, I'd probably be bankrupt) if I stuck to legal options, it's ...

Re: 'Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier' Novel by Mark Frost 10/31

After supposedly yearning for more Twin Peaks for quarter of a century plus, people are sure in dire need to see it disappear (again) as fast as it can :)

Re: 'Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier' Novel by Mark Frost 10/31

Don't like the word "Final" in the title at all. Come to think of it, that's an understatement - I hate it! Who cares about Ronnie Rocket. I want all those seasons of Twin Peaks we were deprived of in the 90's!

Re: is there any other show that even comes close to your obsession with TP?

nope, Mark Frost been on record several times naming David Chase calling out Twin Peaks as one of the biggest inluences in making "The Sopranos" as one of the proudest moments of his professional career. I don't have the quote handy right now (it's in the "Reflections" book amon...

Re: is there any other show that even comes close to your obsession with TP?

Nothing compares to Twin Peaks for me. But my second favorite show of all time is the Sopranos. Same here. And didn't Sopranos have a few moments that felt very much like TP? Like the one with the fish? Davis Chase is a known Lynch fan. It's tough for me to say that any show is "like Twin Peak...

Re: is there any other show that even comes close to your obsession with TP?

I've always disliked both Northern Exposure and Picket Fences , whether fairly or not. But what I disliked so much about them was the way in which they seemed to represent a retreat from the advance of "the show that changed TV" as Peaks was acknowledged to be then, taking the easy lesson...

Re: is there any other show that even comes close to your obsession with TP?

2. Northern Exposure was a really nice show. Maurice (Barry Corben) is the only actor I know I'm related to. The other of the big three direct Twin Peaks descendants (NE, X-Files) was Picket Fences which had a small town quirky/friendly vibe very similar to NE. Do you remember the TP homage scene? ...

Re: Episode 19

Generally, it's a bad episode in the show's 'Ballykissangel' era, although Sherilyn Fenn is great and David Duchovny is a complete showstealer. It all just feels inconsequential and silly after the Leland/Maddy murder scene a few weeks earlier. Can this really be the same show? Yeah, and David Duch...
