I have never seen this show. I have wanted to watch this show for many years. I finally have my hands on season one, season 2, and fire walk with me.

I've been reading this and I just can't believe I've waited this long, but I think in a way it's good because I know I'll really appreciate it now. I can't overstate how excited I am to begin watching it when I get home.

Any suggestions of things to look out for specifically? Or if there's something I should go into it knowing? I'm quite good at following obscure clues and story lines (and finding little tie-together things)

Also, should I watch season one twice before season 2? I just want to make sure I don't miss anything, but my plan was to watch it fully through twice in order.

It's not a traditional mystery show, so going into it with your eyes open looking for clues to future developments isn't really the tack you want to take. This is a show in which law enforcement decides what to do by having staff line up and throw rocks at bottles, after all. It's a David Lynch mystery: it comes out of the subconcious, it works on dream logic. Just go into it with an open mind and a clear heart, let things wash over you, and you'll enjoy yourself.

Its probably better the first time you watch to just go with the flow. If you try to decipher every single mysterious sounding line of dialogue you'll go insane. Save that for the second viewing when you already know the basic framework of the story.

No I would just watch it. It's not as dense as you are assuming.

My only advice would be don't force your way through the end of season two. It's not good, literally no one thinks it's good (except for the finale). You're gonna want to watch it the first time, but go ahead and space it out. You've got until 2016 after all.

The break between good and bad doesn't happen right at season one/season two but after a thing happens. You'll know the thing when you get to it.

Oh, the other thing is DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST. Watch the movie last. It takes place first, but watch it last.

I've seen a couple of "25 Questions the New 'Twin Peaks' NEEDS to Answer" articles floating around, and I can honestly say.....I don't need anything from this show except more of the show. Okay, and Cooper -- Cooper must be in it in some capacity. Other than that, I don't care, I just want to experience more of this world and more of David Lynch's psyche coming at me from the TV.

Really the only thing that actually matters out of any of this is that they are giving David Lynch 9 hours of TV.

Thanks for the advice! I'll follow your directions.

I like to watch shows a couple times through so I'm glad that's the better way to do it with this one. I'm very excited. I've been reading about it at work instead of working because I just want to get home and dive in.

Having just rewatched the second season. Theres still some decent stuff intermingled in the bad, though the bad is truly bad.
And while most people say the show sucks until the finale, I'd disagree and say the quality starts rising much sooner than that. Really after josie dies in the closest thing to a jump the shark scene this show has, the show manages to recover almost right away. Aside from the nonsensical assassin after harry plotline the show resurfaces pretty quick. The 3rd to last episode especially has some great sequences like the slow zoom out with cooper and annie and the ominous tone that begins and ends each scene

Dale knows how to get rid of fear

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing....only I will remain"

You probably saw it on SA's front page:
http://www.somethingawful.com/news/twin-peaks-expanded/3/

quote:

Twin Peaks: Generation 2.0 (2014-, CBS TV)
Audrey Horne and Special Agent Dale Cooper's son, Blane (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt), communicates with his dead father, now trapped in the Black Lodge, by way of hallucinations and uses insights garnered from these visions to better understand the way serial killers think. Currently in pre-production. The series is reported to be "dazzling" and "shocking" and it will "change the way you think about serial killer TV shows." The show's creators promise to remain faithful to the original by including extremely long scenes of people crying. "Fans of the original will feel right at home."

I wish all of these projects were real.

Be sure that whatever set you're watching includes the pilot, some older sets don't. Make sure it specifically says "pilot"; "episode one" is not the pilot. And make absolutely sure you watch the American version of the pilot; the European extended version was basically made as a full movie so a lot of stuff that happens in that version (like characters dying) doesn't happen in the actual series. It can be very confusing.

I'm also not sure why some people think most of season two was bad. I'd say only three or four episodes in the middle are bad, and even those aren't terrible if you skip any scenes involving James or Nadine. Honestly, I thought the last five or six episodes were really great.

Found it - it was actually a Vulture article.

I would say that every episode from the start of the series until the conclusion of Laura's killer is very good. It then takes a dip for 5ish episodes and starts to ramp back up until the 2nd season finale, which is amazing.
