Right. It's ok if the silliness is sprinkled in a modest measure like in Season 1. But the show needed to stick to its mysterious, otherworldly roots, thankfully they came back to that at the end of Season 2. To be truthful, I wasn't a fan of the whole Josie/Andrew Packard/Thomas Eckhardt/Hank Jennings plot line either.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
One thing I disliked more than wyndom earle in season 2 was that Billy Zane character. It just seemed so pointless for such a cool actor, other than to tie in to Horne's newfound philanthropy I guess. That whole thing was awkward too.
But earle, he wasn't compelling at all in the same way as other insane aspects of the show, he was more like a bad villain from the 60s batman show. (I see Eli Cash agrees, haha)

I remember reading somewhere that Kyle Maclachan pretty much hated working with Sherilyn Fenn. Any truth to this?
Red Blaster said:
He was against an Audrey and Cooper romance, apparently because he thought it was morally wrong since Audrey was supposed to be in high school. After the show finished Sherilyn Fenn said in an interview that she thought "Kyle blew it because Audrey and Dale were great together" or something along those lines. But I don't think she said it in a bitter way. I'm not sure if the rumour comes from that?
David Lynch has also said that some actors weren't 100% there during season 2, so it's fair to say that things weren't completely golden between all the actors, but that's to be expected I guess.
They both seem like pretty easy going actors, but who knows?
Yeah, it seemed pretty clear that he was shoehorned in as a love interest for Audrey, once Coop was no longer an option.mattiewheels said:
I love MacLachlan, but he never should've put the kibosh on a Cooper/Audrey romance -- or at least a show-long flirtation. Coop's two main relationships, with Audrey and with Truman, were probably my favorite parts of the show.
That brings me to one of the other things that's great about the show. For most TV shows, movies, and books, it's often the side characters who are most interesting and likable. On Twin Peaks, Cooper is (to me) the best-written character, the heart of the show, and the one constant in most of the good storylines.
A more conventional show would probably not even have Cooper. It would just be the Sheriff, a man rooted in reality, struggling to deal with the darkness around him. Not that it would be a bad show. But it sure wouldn't be the same show.
what happened to lara flynn boyle? so much plastic surgery, it's quite depressing.
It's also disappointing that she decided not to play Donna in the FWWM, not that Moira Kelly did a particularly bad job or anything. I just don't like character's being recast. Also it's unfortunate that Kyle MacLachlan had a smaller role due to a fear of being typecast, I know we have the benefit of hindsight but it's undoubtedly his greatest role. Oh well.

The Hidden, due to Maclachlan's casting as an FBI agent, feels like a weird alternate version of Twin Peaks. Highly recommended if you like 80s action movies.
For maximum benefit, avoid ALL spoilers.
Seriously.

Pilot, plus three episodes, had to give up. Guess I dont get it. The acting felt like poor 80s cheese unless I am suppose to be laughing every darn time serious dialogue goes down. The cries for laura and the mom and that screaming was really bad. Seems like a show more concerned with being weird and messed up then a good mystery with a thought out plot time table and characterization. Once I realized I didnt give a crap about Laura or anyone on the show I didnt see a point. Scenery and music was bad ass though. Folks saying X-files wouldnt exist without this makes no sense to me.

It looks like it isn't for you, and I don't mean that in a bad way or anything. At least you gave it a chance I suppose, I know people who gave up after or even during the pilot. It either strikes a chord with you during the pilot or it doesn't.
And a lot of things wouldn't exist without Twin Peaks, it was one of the shows that pushed the boundaries of what tv could do. It changed everything really.
i mean it in a bad way. terrible taste. but it's one of those things there are definitely certain people that are more meant for the mass-market sugar-coated generic kind of product.
x-files? i would agree with you there the notion of mentioning that in the same breath as twin peaks is abominable

4 episodes in and it keeps getting better and better. i'm not sure how you couldn't like this show since it has something for everyone. and cooper has to be one of the greatest television characters of our generation
I watched The Way Back instead. Forgive me, Twin Peaks-GAF. It'll happen this week, I promise that!

I just finished watching the episode "Lonely Souls" and I am speechless. Those last few minutes were incredible.

oh yeah.
but i would feel dumber if there was a blu-ray for FWWM.
ive only seen the one dvd version. is this something new?
edit: the hell. even the wikipedia page has zero info on a BD for this. i do see some talk about it on some French forums, but not seeing it anywhere. is it on BD in Europe only or something?

Yeah, it was only released in France. This Blu-ray.com review is dated November 3rd 2010, and if that's around the time the BD hit shelves, it's most definitely a recent release.
Edit: Yeah, the Amazon.fr page lists Nov. 3rd 2010 as the release date. Not sure how I managed to miss that.
Fortunately, despite being released only in France, the BD contains the original English audio track as well as English subtitles for the weird scenes. Additionally, Australia and Europe both fall within the Region B region code.
Unfortunately, the cover is utterly terrible, but 1080p and 5.1 DTS-HD MA sees that transgression overlooked.

I just passed the "hump" in the second season and am into the bad episodes. I forgot that the filler goes on for about 10 episodes.
I don't know how I'm going to slog through this.
Oh wait, I know how. David Duchovny's character. That's how. too funny!

Back when I started dating my now-wife, I introduced her to the show. We started marathoning it over a long weekend.RadioHeadAche said:
She loved the show. Loved it... until this episode. It scared the crap out of her.

We finished the series, but to this day, I don't mention it after it's dark. Still freaks her out a little that a show could have such an effect on her (she's generally not a fraidy-cat).
I haven't jumped in here yet...
But the show is fantastic, after I finished my watch through, I liked it, but I didn't...love it.
It wasn't until I got the soundtrack and listened to it on a loop that I thought back to everything I had watched and appreciated it more.
I need to watch through again, but I think when you plow through episodes, you don't appreciate them as much as you would with a weekly pace.

I really love that stripped-down synthesizer-only version of the main theme that plays sometimes. Is it on the soundtrack?
