Re: POLL: Old Peaks or new Peaks?

Part 8 really put me in the new peaks camp. They are two different things to me (despite being connected), but I really, really love the new show. I think I'll find the old show harder to watch now.

Re: General Discussion on the New Series (All Opinions Welcome) (SPOILERS)

Cool thanks. If I ever get over the trauma of that video, I will check out these songs.

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

Wow- that really is cool re: Beethoven. This show is now probably my favourite ever. It has replaced the original. I watched a little of the original pilot last night, and I was reminded of a friend of mine and his quip on the X files reboot: "Can't watch the new X files because Mulder and Scul...

Does anyone else get the feeling that Mark Frost is reading this forum and laughing?

Re: General Discussion on the New Series (All Opinions Welcome) (SPOILERS)

Yeah I agree on the original red room scenes- they will now seem like nothing compared to where we've gone. My enthusiasm for the NiN performance led me to check our their music yesterday, but I happened to watch the video for Happiness in Slavery which is the single most disturbing thing I've ever ...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

I guess what bothers me is that context is hugely important and I hate it when it is ignored. To take an example where I was on the other side of the fence, Jurassic World really bothered me for some reason. It's an enormously successful film in which a successful career woman is lampooned for negle...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

I almost wish that there were non-spoiler threads for the episodes, for those of us who are forced to watch after a delay. In those hours that I'm desperately trying to hold off reading the spoiler thread, I just want to read "wow", "omg!", etc, to build anticipation. Using the p...

Re: General Discussion on the New Series (All Opinions Welcome) (SPOILERS)

I enjoyed NiN, to my surprise actually. In the 90s, I found them very scary and too much to listen to, but now they sound great. Either they've softened, or the expansion of my music taste has finally caught up with a band that were years ahead of their time. I also loved the fact that they were int...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

Something else I loved- the slowed down screams whenever regular people interacted with the woodsmen (or were in the vicinity). Really creepy!

Can't wait to watch this again.

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

The other bothersome aspect for me is that Ray stated outright to EvilCoop how he figured his info is "worth a LOT of money", as if he were going to extort $$ from EvilCoop in order to hand over his valuable info. Then why would he not pursue that, instead shooting with intent to kill the...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

Presumably they meant that the comment seemed dismissive and insulting (through the tone and delivery rather than just the meaning of the words). It's part of the professional "take offence" MO. See also a) A black woman in a film represents all black women, and the entire history of the b...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

I struggled to articulate anything last night except WOW! After a nights sleep, I'm really ecstatic. I didn't know how they were going to do it, but I knew that they were going to leave me in awe at some point during the series. Part of this is simple trust, and part of this is that they basically t...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)

Wow! I couldn't sleep much with the hype last night, then watched the episode tonight. Wow! I guess I got exposed to more spoilers than I realised. Haven't we known for ages that there would be a nuclear explosion? Nothing prepared me for what that looked like though. I always have one though in the...

Re: Part 7 - There's a body all right (SPOILERS)

yep- maybe Evil Coop finds his coordinates and <insert weird lodge stuff here> happens and suddenly Coop is back asking "How's Annie?".
