watch twin peaks (read all 3 entries…)
Halfway through Season 2 6 months ago

and I can’t get enough of it. But now I’m at the crucial point where Laura’s murder is solved and from what I can remember (almost 20 years ago!!) I’m pretty sure it’s all downhill from here.

But for now there’s so much that’s so good:
  • The characters are amazing. Pete Martell is my absolute favourite – he steals every scene he’s in as far as I’m concerned. I started writing a list of my other favourites but it got too long. I could write a lot about the characters.
  • The details in each scene are fascinating. There’s one where I can’t remember who’s in the foreground but there’s a barbershop quartet in the background. Not singing. Just there. There’s just so much to see. Each scene is carefully and artfully composed like a photo.
  • The story and the sub-plots is well told and interesting.
  • The comedic moments are hilarious. Albert’s non-violence speech to Sheriff Truman made me laugh out loud.

The one thing that really jolted was the fact that between season 1 and 2 (which in Twin Peaks time was a couple of days) Donna Hayward’s hair had grown a lot and Shelly Johnson’s had changed colour. Lynch wasn’t big on continuity.

omg

is it really almost 20 years ago? God, I feel old now (though I have to say, I was quite young when I first saw it ;)). I often think I’d love to see Twin Peaks again, might see if I can get it somewhere. I just remember that the murderer was the scariest looking guy ever. I don’t know if I’m still brave enough to watch it….
