The...It took me a while to get into Twin Peaks too. The first few episodes are very slow moving and the camp-cheesiness can be off-putting. Maybe that first scene where Laura's body was found was dramatic in the early 90s, but watching it nowadays with the over-the-top music and soap-opera acting is quite hilarious. I know Twin Peaks is supposed to be a part-parody of soap operas, but it was hard to get into. I remember watching those first few episodes and thinking, "What the hell?? Was THIS what all the hype was about?" <br /><br />And yet...I kept watching. I loved Dale Cooper and his kookiness and I loved how the people of Twin Peaks just accepted his eccentricities, and he accepted their's. I didn't just want to find out who killed Laura Palmer; I also wanted to get to know more about the town and its people. And the more I watched, the more I grew to love it. It really picks up after those first few episodes. <br /><br />It's funny though...the first season really isn't all that wacky. At least, not compared to the absolute BATSHIT INSANITY of the second season. Sometimes I wish the show hadn't become so supernatural oriented, but other times I love it for what it is.

Even if everyone seems weird at first, Cooper plays along and soon I start to realize they aren't weird at all. He gets more evidence and more cooperation by playing along with everyone rather than asserting his federal jurisdiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533597740871338380.post-69308514806105374442012-06-03T23:11:18.304-07:002012-06-03T23:11:18.304-07:00LOL we were *just* watching the midget scene, and ...LOL we were *just* watching the midget scene, and i just quipped to my wife "how was this so popular then?" i decided to google "twin peaks weird", and got this article.:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533597740871338380.post-62431714125266609852011-02-25T15:02:49.072-08:002011-02-25T15:02:49.072-08:00How can you NOT love David Lynch though?How can you NOT love David Lynch though?Rich Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330948553122919174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8533597740871338380.post-77148757038806715732011-02-24T16:28:20.519-08:002011-02-24T16:28:20.519-08:00I stopped reading after the "love, love, LOVE...I stopped reading after the "love, love, LOVE David Lynch" part.Sergionoreply@blogger.com
