Rewatching first two seasons on Blu and then Fire Walk with Me.... to prep to watch Twin Peaks: The Return in the new year.
The Blu-ray restoration looks fantastic. I forgot so much. Glad I'm re-visiting.

CW: abuse
Rewatched the pilot in honor of the official date being announced for the new season. This sets up setting, characters, themes, plot, and distinctive narrative style with unnerving atmosphere and compelling mystery (and spikes of magnificent humor) like a perfect television pilot should, but somehow also manages to be so dense and full of meaning that isn't apparent without rewatching. This is my umpteenth time seeing it, and so much more is evident this time, as has been the case each previous time. My mind has been a lot on abuse these days, and the hindsight of knowing Laura Palmer's full story places a deeper pall over what happens in this episode now. It makes the atmosphere feel…

I don't dream often, but whenever I do, it's always a warped version of a past memory mixed in with the unnerving sense of not knowing what's real and what's a fantasy.
Lynch's work reminds me a lot of those experiences. The line between reality and fantasy always crossover each other, leaving a sense of unease as to what's going on.
Even when he's working with a much more grounded topic and setting, it still maintains that sense of unease throughout, especially shown through the lighting and music.
Lynch starts a domino chain with the knock of one named Laura Palmer and the rest is everyone coming to terms with her loss and ultimate discover of a grander mystery at…

Basically, I really want to watch the new Twin Peaks series, but because I haven't seen Twin Peaks series 1 and 2 I'm whizzing through these first.
Series 1 down. Cracking stuff.

What an amazing show however season 2 was a real drag but worth watching through.

Going back to where it all started never gets old. In fact this time its incredibly new, and more rewarding than ever before.

So technically speaking, this is the European pilot version and I haven't seen it yet... however... I'm about to finish Season 2 and god damn has this series been a great one. Honestly, it's my favorite television show of all time... even beats Fargo! I can't wait to watch The Return and once again be blown away by the God that is Lynch. I know the cinema community is sick of people jacking him off but... I mean... there's a reason people do...
Season 1 Grade: A/A+
Season 2 Grade So Far: A/A-I'll probably release a full review of the series once I'm done, and that'll probably be soon... I'm watching like four episodes a day lol. Also they should re-release the pilot episode in theaters... that'd be life changing.
