Re: TWIN PEAKS - PILOT
I'm just too tired to write something deep about this tonight but I just watched the pilot and thought it was pretty interesting. If I can get my hands on season 1 (doubtful) I would be up for discussing it with you guys.
I've never seen Twin Peaks before and didn't know what to expect. [ QUOTE ] The pilot does a great job in presenting all this, with a quality and style that you wish you'd see in most feature films. Lynch creates a strange, eerie feel in presenting these small town details, and has enough Lynchian elements (a screaming girl in school for example) to both disconcert and keep you paying close attention. [/ QUOTE ] I agree completely. The style is very unusual for a television series. Just strange and fascinating. I rather liked it even though it was campy. It had a strange, eerie feel which completely creeped me out staying up late to watch it by myself. The screaming mother and the crying cop gave me the heebie-geebies. I need one of you guys here to watch it with me. The music didn't help the creepiness factor either. Like Dom said, the characters are completely unreal (and yeah, Agent Cooper is the coolest) but it works somehow and I can definitely see where I could get hooked. I'm just doubtful I'll be able to find Season 1 so don't want to get too excited about it yet. (Btw, I don't even know which one was Peggy Lipton but I think her daughter stars in The Office now, right?)

Re: TWIN PEAKS - PILOT
Cooper is the coolest. Truman is a pretty cool dude tho, as is Bobby's dad (who we only saw briefly)
overacting? hmmm, well, it's pretty stylised for sure, but I think the only one that didn't work completely was Bobby in places, who did look like an actor overacting in places rather than part of the twin peaks weird (I have no idea if that makes sense). I was also struck by how young Audrey looked. Audrey was my twin peaks crush, but she looks illegal in that pilot. I'm sure she looks older as it goes on... (I hope I hope I hope). I was also surprised how wimpy Leo came across as, becuase I remember him being pretty scary... Looking forward to episode 1.... Katy I'll hold your hand. And one incentive to stay with it. Later in the show, David Duchoovny appears, in the unlikeliest of roles...

Re: ** TWIN PEAKS: EPISODE BY EPISODE **
I haven't been able to see the Pilot. The university library bought it but has been processing it for the last month or so, I am still waiting for it to be available to check out.
Fortunately, they do have the hard to get Season 1 and I saw all of it (about a month ago), looking forward to the discussions on those episodes. I haven't seen Season 2 yet either because it is in the same situation as the pilot in the university library (bought but not yet processed by the library). I can't wait to continue with the story, then watch the movie (although I heard the movie was not good).

Re: ** TWIN PEAKS: EPISODE BY EPISODE **
I wasn't the only one creeped out by the ceiling fan, right?
Laura's mom was hilarious in Seinfeld, and is apparently scary as hell in Inland Empire. Come to think of it...isn't Susan's father from Seinfeld also in Twin Peaks? I did mean Bobby with the overacting, not "Jimmy".
