Yup, Sherilyn Fenn simply aged.
Lara Flynn Boyle though? Yeah she had some unfortunate work done.
You're gonna love it.

Do it! I started watching it just after playing Deadly Premonition when it first came out and it was a great choice.
Agree with Season 2 falling apart after the reveal. It's kind of unfortunate. it gets so silly it's almost unwatchable. The whole Ben Horne Amnesia subplot and subsequent civil war re-enactment to get his memory back was terrible. Absolutely terrible.
But the last 2 or 3 eps are great. I may just skip over the whole middle part of season 2 when I watch it on BluRay.

James wasn't so bad. The singing scene is great.
You want to talk about some real boring unlikable shit, then let's talk Josie Packard.

Season 2 was a complete mess post reveal (but I would argue also to a much lesser extent pre reveal). After S1 finale, I don't think the show ever had the constant quality of S1, but the first half of S2 was still very good and had amazing moments.
HOWEVER, everything, and I mean (almost) everything post reveal is fucking dumb as hell, not just Jame's storyline. The show went so far up its own ass it's crazy. The finale is wonderful, but that's being extremely kind to season 2 to say James was its only problem.
It's really that four episode stretch that's the problem, where all the dumb plotlines (James' thing, cheerleader Nadine, Little Nicky, Civil War Ben, etc) somehow hit at once. As soon as Windom Earle enters the picture, the show gets much better. Even though I hate how cartoonishly they depicted Windom.

I guess I wasn't a fan of Windom really. All of that felt so at odds with the rest of the show prior to that. Didn't like Annie as well.
I will say despite my feelings of most of S2, I think FWWM is fantastic which is a controversial opinion, I guess.

To me the show ends after the sixteenth episode "Arbitrary Law". It works well as an ending to the series as it's more open ended than a cliffhanger. And you don't have to watch all the shit to get to the (imo underwhelming) finale.

I thought the same thing but all the footage is from FWWM.

Good. His work is some of the best out there, so I'm glad to hear he's still attached to this project.
Yeah, I think I'll give an episode a shot. Judging from the responses, it sounds like something worth trying.

I'm two thirds into S2 (thus far has ranged from boring to good). Will buy if only because S1 is amazing.

Yeah, that cover is pretty great.
It really does. It's a perfect ending point, and it's where I'd almost recommend new viewers just stop watching. Problem is, everything's been so great up 'til then, you'd never believe it could go so far off the rails. Then it does. (I didn't even think Windom was all that good. It's just that his storyline was still better than the rest by comparison.)
Still my favorite show ever. Weird thing to say about a one-and-a-half season show with a run of about a dozen mediocre episodes. But it's true.

Didn't this series not get an ending? As in, cancelled before it could end?
It got cut short but there's technically an ending... They were forced to reveal the killer early and the middle of season two is a big mess. Gets great again the last few episodes.
It ends on a cliffhanger, yes, but it works as a good ending.

That good, huh?
No matter how bad the second season gets, it rewards your patience with the most amazing, flat out insane series finale of all time.
Oh fuck i just made it 4 or 5 episodes into season 2 and I know my wife and I won't be able to wait till july/aug to finish. On the other hand this show is so good and amazing that I would be down with watching it again soon after though as every other scene has some crazy shit I didn't see coming so I'm sure there is lots more to pick up on second watches.
I agree with that.
When I was watching it for the first time (on some videocassette copies), I had no idea I was watching the finale -- until it was over and there wasn't another episode on the tape. At first, I thought, "What the hell? They can't end it like that!" But then, I felt it was perfect for the show.
Well, that's a trailer for the deleted scenes from the prequel movie, so it makes sense that you'd be lost. Here's a better trailer for the show proper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXjTEw9Qm0k

I haaaaaaaated how they just dropped Cooper/Audrey.... damn it Kyle....
I love how they cheaped out and changed all the songs in that trailer just enough that they wouldn't have to pay royalties to Badalamenti for the real music. Bastards.
It's amazing how the guy who played "Bob" was just a behind the scenes worker on the show when they chose him for that role.

WHAT. Bought. I've never seen FWWM so that'll be awesome to see. The show didn't really scare me (it was incredibly tense) but the finale did.
Also lol at the people only four or five episodes into season two. You're about to get a rude awakening. I've never seen the quality of a show drop so fast.
Laura's scream on is burned in my memory.

LOL, that scene was truly disturbing and was the one I alluded to being an R-Rated scene. Damn, now I want to see everything again...but at this point, I'll happily wait for the B-rays.
Ha! I'm drinking coffee this instant...appropriate, I think.
Super Nadine was great.
I felt really sad for her when she returned to her former miserable self
You can now preorder on Amazon: http://smarturl.it/twinpeaksbluray
Thanks PolishQ, pre-ordered!
I love this series so much. Imho, the best material in Twin Peaks was in Season 2. My favorite single episode was "Beyond Life and Death". The best possible stopping point for the series was where it ended, the series finale. Considering how much people complain about the "filler" in S2, the show was made in 1990 and I've seen more meandering shows with more "filler" than Twin Peaks in 2014.
Thanks. That's pretty expensive. Expect it to be around $60 by release, maybe?
