That's pretty damn awesome news. Twin Peaks was the first modern TV show and the start of the trend of movie directors and stars doing high quality television. The first season is still one of the best things ever to appear on the small screen.

It was also the only TV show to ever scare the absolute bejesus out of me That Lynch could sure do creepy.

Didn't see it before so have been recording it. On SyFy HD.

Funny enough never watched twin peaks, but still knew about laura palmer

WAsn't a show for my age then and afterwards i just never took enough interest in it. Should relly load it all.

The last episode was truly weird. But this will never be anywhere near as good as the original.

But this will never be anywhere near as good as the original.

Possibly. However with Lynch confirming he's directing all the new episodes, all the first season and that season 2 finale were by him, we are guaranteed something weird and wonderful and horrifying and beautiful. Typically all in the same scene.

Let's hope it's more like season one than two.

 

[Moriath]

Yes but it was definately of its time. I don't think it would do as well now if it was starting.

@Big G are you roughly 35ish?

I ask this because I missed the Twin Peak wagon but my wife was obsessed with it and she's younger than me (I started dating her when she was nine......no......still not ready for paedo jokes?).

Aye, 34 to be exact - me and my mates had older brothers and sisters who were into things like Wild At Heart, Blue Velvet, Dune etc. so were naturally obsessed with anything David Lynch. When Twin Peaks came along, it fucking blew my mind, we were all obsessed with it and had frequent Tohtoriesque arguments about who BOB was. We couldn't wait for the next episode each week.

It wasn't just the murder mystery, it was the psychological bizarreness of Lynch's style tapping deep into our brains dealing with things like incest, rape, drugs, small town America, mental illness, ghosts and all the weirdness that came with that.

Bet that was fun, wasn't it? Hmm? Admit it!

I just cannot get my head around Lynch's stuff, I may be too thick, I can't watch a film and treat it as a feeling like he wants, I just can't connect. Mulholland Drive hurt my everything

 

[old.Osy]

I loved Mulholland Drive to bits, the quirkiness of it all made my brain all fuzzy and tingly, back then.

Anyhoo, this is good news.

The thing about that one is that it's actually one of his more straight forward plots once you understand that

Spoiler

everything before she opens the box is her delusions about her being a great actress, her life is wonderful, her girl friend loves her. After that it shows her guilt ridden & suicidal over killing her girlfriend.

It's just the fact it's all wrapped up in his usual dark surrealist style.

Might have to download it, I think I watched a couple of episodes but wasn't much into TV shows before being able to watch several episodes back to back in your own time.
