[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 284538, member: 8"] Actually....I was one of them. Like many other viewers I had not expected to see anything like this and I assumed it would be a straightforward prime time soap opera. My mother even suggested that it could be a modern version of Peyton Place which, at that time, was still the Holy Grail on my soaps-to-watch-list. I loved the look and the sound of Twin Peaks but apart from that I just didn't know what to [I]do[/I] with it. Nevertheless, that didn't stop me from buying the DVD as soon as it came out. Maybe the Twin Peaks vibe had started to sink in over the years, and maybe subconsciously and retroactively I had developed [I]some[/I] appreciation for this very alternative nighttime drama. When I rewatched season 2 for the first time I was genuinely surprised to find out that I had already watched the post-murder mystery episodes. The way I remembered it was "Leland dunnit, thank God it's over!" Either way, knowing what it was, I found it much easier to enjoy the series, but still not as much as this second rewatch. There are so many wonderful details (I don't mean clues or anything revealing) and even the weaker middle part of season 2 provided enough seductiveness and foggy nostalgia to me. And I'd rather watch James Hurley in a corny sub-plot than NO James at all. Sheriff Truman to Cooper, looking at the mask of Caroline on his desk: "she really was a beautiful woman". Is it genuine or hilarious? I just love the ongoing double entendre in the Twin Peaks scripts. Nobody can tell for a fact how it's supposed to be interpreted. But that's also what made the full-on-goofiness of characters like Andy, Lucy and Nadine [I]less[/I] interesting or funny in season 2. I'm going to disagree because it doesn't mean anything if we can't watch it :p That was the reason I never bothered with season 2. It seems to me they were trying a little too hard to be secretive about, well, pretty much everything. But....Charlotte Rampling. I didn't know she was in it too. [/QUOTE]
