What the FUCK is going on here? Is Leland actually Bob? Jesus, I'm lost.

Holy crap. I'm sure everyone has this thought, but how in the hell did that get on network in 1990?
My wife and I finished the series about a month ago and then watched Fire Walk With Me and Missing Pieces. It's now probably one of my top five favorite shows of all-time.durdencommatyler wrote:I saw Fire Walk With Me before I ever saw an episode of Twin Peaks. And it's 10 times scarier without any context. Bob scared the shit out of me. To this day, I have a hard time going into my bedroom without a light on because of Bob. If I have any demons, if there is a hell, if I lose my mind one day, I firmly believe Bob will be there. Truly terrifying. On a subconscious level. It's like he's always existed. He IS the boogey man.

Oh, thanks, I'm definitely interested. I'm just interested in seeing what the process was like between the network and the creators when that first season was being concocted. I mean, we take unconventional narratives for granted now, but that was an added benefit of cable, when producers didn't feel the need to reach for each viewer's common denominator. This is ten years before The Sopranos, a few years before The X-Files (and both those shows were in some ways more conventional than this show)...I guess I'm just shocked it was greenlit at all.durdencommatyler wrote:digster wrote:So I finally finished this last night.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
