Since having kids, TV has been much easier than movies. I rarely get 90 minutes to watch something, let alone 2-3 hours.

Mordeen- the solution to your party dilemma is obvious. Take the kids, skip school the next day! These things don't happen very often, and you won't care at all about this is a years time. Life > school (and I say this as a university lecturer). I'm jealous of all your plans in any case. I'll be in ...

My feeling on it (and indeed my faith in the new series) is set by the first half hour of FWWM. That's new original content set in the same universe with different actors, and with ostensibly a different story (albeit one linked to the TV series), and its really strong in my opinion. I'd be very hap...

Wow- still browsing this thread and George and Mildred came up. I can't tell if that was ironic or not, but I hope it isn't. I really love it. I checked out Man About The House recently as well (which G&M was spun off from) and I love that too. Gentle, knockabout class-obsessed British comedy of...

I really really love this thread. Totally brilliant. The Prisoner is still the only show that not only comes close to my TP obsession, but equals it. It's about the time when you watch something. The adolescent mind has the ability (and time) to get totally obsessed with bands, TV, film, etc, in a w...

My one big hope is that, indeed, we don't get a definitive explanation of everything. I'm sure I remember quotes in the early days of the production that make this unlikely. Didn't Mark Frost say something like "attentive viewers will know what is going on" (poorly paraphrased from memory)...

I think the answer is that you can watch it on NOW TV (a streaming service that basically has Sky content).

Here is the Danish Symphony Orchestra having a go at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np1Qo8CsW00 Not better, just different I would say. It really makes you realise how great the music is regardless of orchestration- something I had not expected. A couple of milkmen whistling along to a kazoo wo...

I will have landed in Stockholm from Australia the day before the premiere, then it actually happens sometime in the early hours of the morning. I have a meeting all day that Monday. I'm hoping that jet lag wakes me up at 5am so I can at least see part 1. The team I'm meeting with are all big TV fan...

Someone said above that reviews are embargoed until after the Showtime premiere which sounds fair enough.

It's not like modern pop/rock album releases where an album is released with no notice, and the critics have to decide if they like it without any assistance.

The thing is that the traditional role of the critic is dying. It used to be that you had limited funds, there was some cool stuff coming out, but you needed someone to tell you what might be worth spending money on, since there was no other way to get it. Over time, you would find critics that gene...

Exactly

I have a meeting on that Monday morning that I'm flying to Europe for, but I'm hoping that jet lag enables me to wake up super early and at least watch the first part.

As frustrating as it is now, you'll forget all about it when the new series airs. For sure though, I would never deny your right to grumble. I'm thinking that I need to enjoy these days. The new series could totally change how I view everything Twin Peaks-related up to now. The sheer length of the n...

When I think back to seeing TP for the first time, I knew absolutely nothing about it. I guess I must have seen some trailers on Bravo to get me to watch it in the first place, but I can't remember why I decided to watch it. I'd love to revisit my young self via a time machine and see what was going...

Same here- really hard to tell.
