Twin Peaks Gold Box set
Posted: Sun Jul 12, 2020 10:55 pm
Hello,
As most TP fans know, the Gold Box set was the definitive, best version available until the Blue Rose and now the new box sets (Z-A and the Complete Television Collection) became available.
I still had some questions about the Gold Box set:
1. The article on Dugpa talks about how the restoration team made an extensive effort in remastering the series the first time, but did they use the original
broadcast masters or did they start entirely from scratch for the Gold Box set?
In the Season 2 finale, there seem to be some differences between the DVD and the broadcast version i.e. When Cooper meets Maddy in the Redroom, on the Gold Box set, the way she disappears seems different than the broadcast version. Did they redo the special effects for this episode?
2. Did they change the subtitle placement in Redroom scenes for the Gold Box set? There are various videos on Youtube of the Season 2 finale where the
placement of the subtitles seem different.
3. Were the same masters from the Gold Box set used for the new sets i.e. Z-A and the Complete Television Collection? (And are these the same masters
used on the Blue Rose set?)
4. There is a scene with Windom Earle on the Gold Box set which seems very faded, almost looks like they used a VHS source for this scene. Was this fixed
for the new sets?
