I believe that the first and second seasons will become available to watch on Showtime on demand this month. Must mean the new season is coming up. For what it's worth I have only seen like 10 minutes of the pilot.

you mean you have never watched the show?
if so, it comes highly recommended from some of us. Shit, @eversonpoe got a Twin Peaks tattoo
So i was going to rewatch the show before finishing the book, because i realized i don't remember a LOT of it. I've only watched it the one time through, and binge watched it at that. BUT, i have this book that i'm like 1/3 of the way through and really want to finish.
So i looked on youtube for like a refresher and was quite pleased to find this:
It's not just the one video-this thing is at least a few hours long. The subsequent parts play if you just leave youtube running, of course.
I was happy to find not only a refresher, but behind the scenes info and quite a bit of interesting (if arguable) thematic commentary and i wanted to turn you guys on to it.
I am like 2 or 3 hours into it and really digging it.
I will DEFINITELy be watching the show again-good god, i can't believe i forgot so much!
edit: oh, also, have you guys read any of the other Twin Peaks books?
I haven't read the Secret History of TP yet (I suspect it's under our Christmas tree) but I loved the Diary of Laura Palmer and the Dale Cooper tapes books back in the day. They were great addition to the world. The last few weeks I've been reading through this to et me in the mood:
I think we'll start re-watching the series in January to get everything fresh before season 3.
I'm one of the few people who loved season 2. I'm curious to see where they go from there.
Also @NYRexall , i've heard that a lot of the action of the new season will take place in Las Vegas.
It's hard to speculate on whether or not it will continue the Laura Palmer angle. I predict that it will continue it a LITTLE bit, but remember, that story was originally intended to get us INTO the world of twin peaks and intended to be a never ending mystery.
I think the new season might involve some space aliens or interdimensional beings along the lines of the insanity in the book.
Whatever it is, i'm thinking it will be dense, dark Lynchian mystery at its finest.
I know one thing-i do NOT expect to be let down.
Yeah, you win, fucker!
so check this out
it says "spoilers," but it's just casting and the fact that some of it is in LA and Las Vegas.
My bet is that main characters are in Vegas and LA. Like, maybe cooper is in Vegas?
And they have to come back to Twin Peaks.
Also, dude, did you watch that video i linked above? I think you will really like it.
I was watching the series on Netflix last year with my SO for the first time since I was really young, and we were both loving it. Then Netflix pulled it once we neared the end of Season 1. Bastards.
Welp, sold a bunch of action figures today, and went straight out and bought the nine-disc set today (which seems like a steal considering the 10-disc set is basically twice the price plus, and I never really get around to watching extras anyway) as well as the only copy of Laura Palmer's diary that my local Indigo had - twenty pages into it, and it's already pretty messed up.
I'm gonna go back and grab the new hardcover next week.
Okay. So now that our watching of Game Of Thrones is on hiatus, us having hit the end of S5 (neither of us have cable so we're never quite up to date with current shows and don't really care to be), we're going to go back to Twin Peaks starting tonight.
I watched the pilot and first three episodes solo this week to refresh myself. If she asks to start again I have no qualms.
I have also had to stop reading both the diary and Secret History, which I picked up, as I've hit a point in each book where I'm worried if I keep reading I'll actually spoil things for myself, things I've completely forgotten through the mists of time if I ever knew anyway - point in fact I don't even remember who Laura's murderer even is or if I ever saw the reveal (though after this week's review I'm pretty sure I can make an inspired guess).
Also the entire Secret History has to have been written by like Fox Mulder lol. All of this focus on extraterrestrial activity, cryptids etc isn't what I was expecting. Entertaining as hell though. I can tell the new series is going to be....different.
posted in the david lynch thread yesterday, forgot we had a specific twin peaks thread
my wife (who has seen the series three times) and i (who have seen the series once) just started a new watch-through. we've had the "entire mystery" blu-ray box set since it came out and i can't believe it took us this long to delve back in. yesterday we watched the pilot and episodes 1-4 and literally all i want to do is keep watching because i forgot how much i love the show. (i mean, not really, i have a fucking owl symbol tattoo, but i did kind of forget how great it is)
That is so fucking soon. holy shit
That is awesome. I can re-watch the entire first season on Showtime and then finish the rest of the 2nd season. I'm fucking stoked for this new season that is coming.
I've read awhile ago that this new TP book is supposedly a mandatory read before the new season. For anyone who did so, is it really the case, or was it mostly selling hook?
@Frozen Beach that gave me goosebumps down to my toes.
Cooper entering out of the darkness is reminiscent of Sandy's introduction in Blue Velvet
Welcome back Agent Dale Cooper.
7 episodes into our rewatch, about the point where my SO and I were cut off. As I mentioned before, I don't remember much from when I was a kid and was watching but...
That is a very different Agent Cooper from the one I'm seeing here in Season 1. That's an Agent Cooper who has, pardon my French, seen some shit.
I can't wait to get through this whole thing.
Is it me or did Angelo Badalamenti plagiarize himself here?
Twin Peaks Theme
The Beach Theme
The stings' main notes sound quite similar with a couple of little notes added in between of The Beach theme to spice it up.
What's annoying is Showtime is playing Seasons 1 and 2 as marathons and included them on demand (Netflix also has both seasons), but neither Showtime nor Netflix has Fire Walk With Me movie. Wouldn't that be important viewing material going into the return series? Can't find it anywhere, a bit annoying this is left out.
I don't think you necessarily NEED FWIW. It just fills in blanks of things you probably already knew.
Lynch recently commented on this -

“I can say [FWWM is] the story of Laura Palmer’s last seven days, very much important for this.”
Unfortunately the new book seemingly does not impact the new series, as Lynch hasn't even read it! -

I found this most surprising.
