Piloting Around the Dilemma of Paranoia
i'm beginning to think that a remastered pilot won't happen here in the states. one would think that paramount would have announced something by this point since the release of season 2 is less than two months away. i've never actually seen the pilot. i wanted to get people's thoughts on what exactly they recommend that i do.
i don't own the first season of twin peaks. i was hoping that it would be rereleased, but no one has actually confirmed this.
my dvd player is region free, so what region has the best transfer of the pilot included in their first season? seeing as how the french are finally getting a release of twin peaks on their shores, i assume that the pilot included on their 1st season would look pretty good. should i order the first season from them?
any feedback whatsoever would be warmly welcomed.

I'm also interested in the answer to this. I have the Hong Kong import of the pilot, which is not good quality at all. I was thinking of getting the season one set from Amazon.uk, which has the pilot, but I would first like to know if the included pilot is of the same quality as the reason of the Artisan transfers.
Perhaps Dugpa knows?

i had read somewhere that the uk version's pilot was not of the same quality as that of the rest of the season. in addition to that, i am skeptical of buying it because i believe the ending of the uk pilot is the extended theatrical version. i would much prefer to have the pilot as it was intended to be - a pilot, a pitch to the tv studios.
Living here in the UK, I naturally have this version on DVD, and whilst it's fair to say that the picture quality is ever so slightly inferior to the rest of the series, the pilot still looks absolutely fine. In fact, I only became aware of the slight quality differences when watching episode 1 onwards...boyfromstorm wrote:i had read somewhere that the uk version's pilot was not of the same quality as that of the rest of the season. in addition to that, i am skeptical of buying it because i believe the ending of the uk pilot is the extended theatrical version. i would much prefer to have the pilot as it was intended to be - a pilot, a pitch to the tv studios.
As to which version of the pilot it is, I don't know - It's the only version I'm personally familiar with.
If you have a player that will play the UK version, and you want the pilot on DVD, my advice to you is go buy it!

I have the first season, and am awaiting the second season in the mail. My question is, is it truly worth it to buy the Hong Kong version or any other version from Ebay? Or should I wait and hold out for some sort of miracle DVD with the pilot and the theatrical pilot together? (Like I am for the FWWM scenes) I do not want to re-buy the first and second seasons in a box set just to get the pilot.
Also, is there any DVD release with the European/theatrical version out there at all? I haven't seen that ending (with the candles and hospital basement) in years.
Any thoughts/advice?

I bought the UK season 1 box on eBay for a very good price not long ago.boyfromstorm wrote:i had read somewhere that the uk version's pilot was not of the same quality as that of the rest of the season.
The quality of the pilot episode is good, but the sound is 2.0 (the season 1 episodes are in 5.1).
