Anyone else eager for this long-delayed release?
To be honest I couldn't resist selling my copy of Season 1 recently as it is fetching $100+ on ebay at the moment, but I was bad and burned a copy first, so I'll be caught up on all the madness before the madness gets deeper.
I'm all pre-ordered and ready to go on it. My fiancee didn't take to the pilot (though my best friend did), which makes for slower going. (Can't really complain, I've been going through Angel and Buffy w/ her, and she got hooked in season 3 of Angel meaning we've watched the better part of two seasons in the last month, which is fun as that's how I like to watch shows... though even that is a little slow for me...)

it starts out as a murder mystery in the strangest town in america and gets weirder from there. like dwarfs (or midgets not sure) talking backwards, and kooky fun FBI agents... David Duchovny in drag.

This is one of my all time favorite shows. I love it! I have been waiting for S2 to be released on DVD for forever! I have been tempted to sell my S1 on ebay for the big prices, but I just can't let go of it. It is such an awesome show.

I wanted to see this show properly from the start for sooooooo long now!!

Sounds good!!! Thanks for the info it starts out as a murder mystery in the strangest town in america and gets weirder from there. like dwarfs (or midgets not sure) talking backwards, and kooky fun FBI agents... David Duchovny in drag.

As it's an expensive season 1 set, if you guys are interested in getting a back-up copy of your set, pm me. I can get you guys on the path.

Oh wow, Twin Peaks!!! I never saw it when it was on TV but heard about it - one night I rented the Pilot (or rather the extended European Theatrical release with the extended ending in the Red Room) and it actually scared me! The eerie music, atmospheric filming, etc etc. I was hooked! I rented the first season, and a friend loaned me her Second Season tapes! I finally got my friends into it as well and we had endless debates about The Red Room, Bob, the Arm, and just WTF it was all about. Of course they never say for sure in the series what's going on (which IMO is part of what makes it so surreal and spooky). I think if they ever did "say" what was going on, it would have ruined it as it would have sounded so hokey - i.e. "There are these beings from another dimension which runs backwards in a forward sort of way and the part of their dimension that we see looks like a red room - and they are attracted to fear and the darkness in man..." I think that sums up my take on it - though of course watching it and getting immersed in the characters and the town itself - with these weird little snippets of unknown...anything is just plain unsettling! I mean Josie going into the doorknob when she died - WTF??? (there's endless "WTF Scenes" in Twin Peaks, and almost as many in "Fire Walk With Me" - the theatrical prequel to the series. Did anyone NOT shiver when Coop saw David Bowie;s character walk around him on the security monitor??? Freaky. My friends and I ever cooked up an In-Story reason why Donna was different in the movie (which will always bug me, even though I liked Moira Kelly) was that when Donna discovered her true Father something happened with the whole time warping of the People From Another Place and the past was changed, so the Donna in the movie is actually the daughter of the parents that raised other Donna (as opposed to the same mother but what's his face being the father)! :-) It made sense at the time. Well, as much sense as anything in Twin Peaks. :-) Oh, and did you guys know the "backward" speaking effect was achieved by recording the actors actually speaking backwards - and then running that tape backwards! (i.e. a very distorted sounding frontwards speech and odd looking phsycial movements)! We used to do it on our computer with a sound recording program we had - we'd write out a sentence backwards and say it - then play that backwards - and voila! Twin Peaks Speak! ("Remlap Arual si Mane Eym!" - try it - freaky! And don't forget the subtitles!)
"Where we're from the birds sing a pretty song. And there's music in the Air."
"Thru the darkness of future pasts, the Magician longs to see.... One chance out between two worlds - Fire Walk With Me."
(I just can't stop!)
"We lived among the people...I think you say 'Convenience Store'. We lived above it. I mean it like it is, and it sounds."
"We live in a dream. We live in a dream!"
"Let's rock!"
I feel like I know her....but sometimes my arms bend back.
She's filled with secrets!
