But I don't get Showtime, so seeing this new series will have to wait until it arrives on Netflix or Amazon

Ahh ok - thanks for the warning. I once spent 3 hours in a hotel lobby in Newark sorting out a Swedish laptop for a couple stranded, like I was, by that Icelandic volcano lock-down. They clicked on the 'you have a virus, click here to fix' message and locked themselves out of their PC. So I am very wary of clicking on anything that looks even remotely dodgy....

Last night I discovered there are Twin Peaks 'things' to buy, including this beauty, a key fob for Coop's room.



You can buy a 'log' pillow and a red room shower curtain



My key fob is ordered.

I missed the whole Twin Peaks thing when it was first on (was vaguely aware of some hullabaloo, but did not watch any TV in those days). Is it worth watching the original series or just start with the new series that is coming out? Would the original one be dated? Any opinions/advice...Bristol...?

It's an absolute must. The new ones won't make any sense at all without it. Some might say it doesn't make any sense anyway but that's part of the fun.

I really don't get the whole Who killed Laura Palmer thing, there was just so much more.

A lot of people loved it when it was first on (many more missed it too) and some felt it lost its way a bit.

I rewatched them all (binge watching) in the week leading up to the new ones and then saw Fire Walk With Me - the movie that covered the events leading up to the TV series. That's a must see too - once you are into the series - because it ties up a few things and also because there are things in the new ones you won't know without FWWM.

I don't think it is dated at all. For two reasons.

There are no computers in it. You see things now with great hefty monitors and that dates it. House brick mobile phones do something similar.

There's probably a word or expression in the movie business to describe something contemporary - or even futuristic - but with 'old' stuff in it...vintage cars, 50s film noir trench coats and things.

Twin Peaks (the town and the show) is a bit like that. At a crime scene you'll see one of those older cameras with the enormous flash.

My stepdaughter and mother in law are watching the originals and I pop into the room and watch bits or whole episodes with them that I saw only two weeks ago (4th or 5th time?) and I laugh, shiver etc all over again even though I've seen the episodes from the new one.

If you do try it, you need to get beyond the first episode otherwise you may just think you're watching a kooky soap opera.

You don't need to be a David Lynch fan. I enjoyed Blue Velvet for example but Eraserhead went completely over my head.

Oh yeah, Blue Velvet..... creepy!

Thanks for the pointers, hopefully will get round to seeing it at some point.

I'm not sure I'd want this on my bed. My dreams are weird enough as it is.

Did you see the log cushion? Do you think it will tell me something?
