Rewatching first two seasons on Blu and then Fire Walk with Me.... to prep to watch Twin Peaks: The Return in the new year.

The Blu-ray restoration looks fantastic. I forgot so much. Glad I'm re-visiting.

[season 1 +2]

I love twin peaks
love to understand it someday

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

its so funny when people call this show "weird" or "terrifying" when its literally just a documentary on what it's like to live here in washington state + the kind of people you meet

me: mr. lynch... please... what's going on in your show??
david lynch: *shrugs* who can never be sure?

The Full Blossom Of The Night!

Just saw the pilot. Not sure exactly where it’s headed, but so far I think I kinda loved it.

Watched again for Guardian piece on its 30th anniversary. The best thing I've ever seen on television. So sad, so weird and funny, so singular. And watched by a lot of people. Not often that something this iconoclastic could be piped into the living rooms of so many.

[season 1 + 2]

"the police didn't love laura, nobody loved laura but us." don't have much to add that i didn't say on my first watch but still absolutely taken with how frost and lynch so vividly depict the strangeness of loss; the messy, contradictory feelings in its wake that can appear absurd or surreal, especially when grafted onto the simplicity of melodrama. interesting too on rewatch to catch more of the groundwork laid out in both the sick, impulsive underbelly of greed and abuse that the town's surface pretends doesn't exist and the more otherwordly abstract/horror elements (mostly deployed here as a yin/yang, good/evil thing) that would ultimately become Fire Walk With Me and The Return's more complex exploration of the arrogance of even well-meaning people and complete uselessness of law enforcement in a world built around swallowing and chewing up women for work and pleasure.

Rewatching this 5 years later with much more context of how it was made and released instead of something I just found on Netflix.

S1:
Is about as close as you can get to perfect serialized television. If things would’ve continued on a more ideal path It would have been an amazing cohesive 4-5 seasons (but we got the return). This season is such an amazing mix of soap opera, lynchian dream weirdness, and a town you just want to live in. Such an amazing portrait of how every mundane white American town and suburb is the same, that just this insane weirdness and murder is the only way to make an otherwise comforting soap interesting. 

I remember it going downhill very fast from here but will update post s2.

sheriff harry truman can marry me

One of the best pilots of Tv history

פרק 3

“The was a fiiiish … in the percolator”

MASTERFUL

(season 1+2)

weaker second season but it still has incredibly strong moments, arbitrary law and the finale being the biggest standout episodes that season. (seriously id watch this show for the entire arc surrounding arbitrary law. GREAT bone-chilling scenes)

lets be real, considering how balls to the walls bonkers this show is, even the low points are incredibly entertaining with the lamer side plots.
