Re: Watching Season 3 Around the World

This is a great thread!

Does anyone know any plans for Sweden?

Re: Official Thread - Twin Peaks - Jan 13 - Kyle Returns Promo

Wow- nice to read an interesting/novel perspective on True Detective. I watched S1 recently (I've been following the Recommendations... thread and posting my feedback as I watch things). It took me a while to warm to it because of the immense hype, but I ended up liking it. I now have to see S2 I th...

Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017

Having two kids might scupper it for me.

I'm going to have to do it really elaborately, by pretending I'm going away for work, then creeping round a mates house and watching it.

Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017

This "one long movie" thing got me thinking the other day, and I'm sure this has already come up somewhere here.

Who is planning to watch the whole thing in one 18 hour sitting after the final episode airs (having watched it already week by week)?

Re: Recommendations for Watching While Waiting for Season 3

My brother has been raving about Under the Skin for ages. Is that the one filmed in Glasgow? He was living there til recently, so it was extra special for him. Will have to check it out. I've been watching Veronica Mars recently based on the recommendations above. It took me a while to click with it...

Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017

Yeah, I do think that they will want to bring in a new audience with this, not all of whom are going to have watched the first series. I've thought all along that the story will seem self-contained (albeit a bit bizarre) for those who have not seen the first series. I'm not expecting the series to s...

Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017

It has just occurred to me that the intense paranoia around spoilers suggests that the plot is at least partly comprehensible.

The very best defence against spoilers would be to make Inland Empire 2. Is it even possible to give spoilers for that? :-D

Re: Showtime to Re-broadcast Original Series Early Next Year

I loved all of the series on first viewing at age 14 or so. I reloved it all on a rewatch. My most recent rewatch in December revealed that that bloody synth flute that they use for Windom Earle is naff as hell! However, when I like a show, I more or less turn off any critical thinking, and let them...

Re: NO SPOILERS: Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime May 21st 2017

I really want to watch the first episode without reading a review. I want to have no idea what the first scene is going to be. If a review comes out, I have no idea how I'm going to have the willpower to avoid it, but I'll have to try. I'm starting to like the fact that I'll be on a plane for the 24...

Re: Official Thread - Twin Peaks - Jan 13 - Kyle Returns Promo

Eater of Iguanas: I've been thinking the exact same thing. Plus everyone involved has emphasised that there is a strong central story. So I'm expecting a strong central thread which is fairly accessible, with lots of abstract dressing and apparent obfuscation that makes sense over time. That's not a...

Re: NON SPOILERS: Twin Peaks: Season 3 on Showtime Thread

I've been thinking the same thing actually. As much as we've been cursing the lengthy gestation, it really is not that long considering the scale of the undertaking. At the back of my mind is the fear that the result needs longer to cook, except I trust everyone involved too much to be seriously con...

Re: Recommendations for Watching While Waiting for Season 3

I've been watching the fifth and final season of Big Love recently. Grace Zabriskie is also amazing in that (and indeed in each of the other series). I think most Peaks fans would enjoy the series if they've never seen it (the first series in particular has a combination of sinister and light-hearte...
