Gets me every time. Twin Peaks doesn't get enough credit for being funny. I think it was episode 2 when Leland Palmer lies down on Laura's coffin sobbing and his weight fucks up the pneumatic lift and the coffin starts bouncing him up and down I realized oh this is supposed to be goofy.

Oh yeah, dude, it's one of the funniest shows I've seen. I mentioned earlier the scene in Season 2 where they're having a deadly serious conversation about who's killing people and in the background is a bunch of incompetent police officers trying to cut out a body in a giant chess piece with a chainsaw. Leland's always been pretty funny, as has Andy (when he's not crying), Lucy, etc. I just mentioned it because people were saying Season 3 is "too dark and serious", and people just seem to forget that there are a lot of dark, sad moments from the show, especially it's early episodes, in addition to the hilarious and quirky moments and romance plots and stuff.

I was thinking of the word "goofy" in a negative way to describe what's wrong with season 2. It just didn't do it for me, a lot of the goofy stuff felt out of place set in the same world as all the overly serious, heavy, little bit pretentious but not enough to be bad stuff. Might just have been that I was watching it in 2017. Whenever the show got too goofy it felt like a big reminder that "This show was made in 1990!" Different tastes and all though, I guess.

There's nothing grounding it. Twin Peaks works when it's quirky people working through trauma/depression/grief/life struggles. It's funny that an alpaca is in the Sheriff's office while they're investigating a murder. It doesn't work if your drama is a blathering serial killer only going after one person through chess metaphors, and your intrigue is based on who Lucy's going to date, who's going to win a pageant, and if Audrey's gonna bang Billy Zane.

Yeah that makes sense. And I guess actually when you put it that way I might have been thinking of something different as being "goofy". I'm completely fine with those sorta teen drama story elements. I'd have to go re-watch to find specific examples, but I remember there being quite a few moments in season two where something would happen that would break up the flow of the story and serve no purpose other than being funny. But funny in the way an episode of Full House was "funny" (probably was a lot less striking in the early 90s). Just small, quick events that would maybe be one quick interaction between two characters, 20 or 30 seconds, but be enough to take me out of the story and the world. I never had those moments watching season 1, and it worked just fine that way. I guess that doesn't make much sense without specific examples, but uhh I really don't wanna start re-watching the show specifically looking for awkward 90s sitcom moments. And for the record overall I liked season 2, in spite of its flaws. So I'm not trying to trash an otherwise amazing show.

I've always described it as self-aware but not self-serious but always sincere. So yes to goofy, weird, quirky, silly, funny, because it is all those at some point.

I think most people are probably unaware that Lynch is a deeply funny person that doesn't really take his own films nearly as seriously as some people allege he does.

Yeah definitely. Really if it wasn't that way I think it would just be pretentious instead of almost pretentious.

So is it based on Castlevania 3? My only hope is that they would work in some of really weird NES era translations. 'Get a silk bag from the graveyard duck to live longer.'

Even though it's laid out right there in the title sequence, it's easy to miss that the entire theme of the show is the relationship between John and Rick (and their father), and how you do things for you family without question, just like a... patriot... does... for a country...  The scene in "Dick Cheney" with Ichabod was stunningly heartfelt. "Welcome, club member."

It gets my vote for best original series on a streaming service. After the first folk song, I was hooked. Called my wife at 1am and said "you need to watch this right now." I binge watched it from a hotel room and was genuinely pissed when I ran out of episodes. The humor, the direction (especially the urinal scenes and outdoor shots by the concrete pipe yard), and the relative mundane-ness of covert operations relative to other "spy shows/films" - all just worked for me. Like stressing out over a bag of money when in other venues it seems like every spy agency has infinite funds. Cool Rick was the best character I've seen in years. I even identified with the Bad Guy (Red Foreman) as an angry, bitter ex-drunk who has nothing in his life but his work. I was worried they were going to gently caress up the writing by having Wife be some stupid damsel in distress arc that thankfully never happened. And god drat Stephen - I felt so guilty laughing at what kept happening to him and how John hosed with his memory. I loved the ending, where the "white knight" Lux cop is like "gently caress it, I'm out" with the cash. Only thing that really irked me was the string of unlikely coincidences that tied everything together. But that's fiction, I suppose.
