Re: Twin peaks: Nostalgia Fanedit

sounds akin to the no jar jar binks fanedit of star wars episode 1. well, I made the mistake of watching the season 2 mid-season slump over one long weekend with friends. it's their first time through. we had a lot of donuts, but at the end we fell into a valley of despair. the final episode didn't ...

Re: Part 17 - The past dictates the future (SPOILERS)

Yeah, I like that about David Lynch's process, that he goes in with a firm plan that gives him assurance and orientation, but also remains open to spontaneous ideas that can in the most extreme of cases (like with the creation of Bob) re-orient everything. I forgot another gripe about Part 17: The r...

Re: Part 17 - The past dictates the future (SPOILERS)

This is probably the episode I'm the most torn about. I love the overimposed face of Cooper, and the first time around, when it says "We live inside a dream", it gave me goosebumps. It's still a strong moment. I like the farce with Bad Cooper pretending to be Cooper and how everyone at the...

Re: No Ray Wise?

I was against Leland-as-Bob when speculation ran high prior to TR. In retrospect, it could have been an interesting move, given the confusion/ambiguity about Mike/the Arm/MfAP/Phillip Gerard (Gerard’s mortal form seems to have become the de facto incarnation of Mike, so why shouldn’t Bob similarly ...

Re: No Ray Wise?

Thanks for using the question as a mere vehicle to once again spout your opinion on The Return. :P I guess he was only in it for a few seconds because...well, Leland is dead, and...Frost/Lynch couldn't think of a way to make him more of a part of the story? The speculation beforehand that Leland mig...

Re: Poll: Criticism of The Return

I don't particularly care to ponder the show's weaknesses since it offers so much remarkable stuff to chew on. But I definitely think the show is flawed and messy, but then, I tend to like lots of messy works of art. Like Boris Godunov by Mussorgsky. Or Age of Adz by Sufjan Stevens. Or Twin Peaks be...

Moody on first sight, but then I noticed a bad case of Photoshopping. The arm on the wheel - is it MacLachlan's? Because it doesn't connect to his shoulders... :shock:
Also, there's something about Laura Dern's arm(s)...?

Re: Twin Peaks Poll - First Time

I voted Illegal Download (sue me!), but actually this doesn't capture the truth. I watched some of the penultimate season 1 episode as a kid on German TV. I distinctly remember watching the scene of Audrey hiding in the cupboard and smoking. But yeah, apart from a part of that episode I didn't see m...

Re: What is the most horrible translated German episode title (season 1)?

The "original" titles are:
Spuren ins Nichts
Zen oder die Kunst, einen Mörder zu fassen
Ruhe in Unfrieden
Der Einarmige
Coopers Träume
Zeit des Erkennens
Der letzte Abend

I got them from here.

None of them are better, at least not significantly, in German.
