Leland was a lawyer so it's implausible that he was younger than 25 when Laura was born.

I don't think the TP mythology or cosmology was ever THAT well thought out. It's more atmospheric and this fits that to a tee.

To OITNB's credit, they basically have done that. It's kind of bold of a show to be like "look, we know our main character is garbage so now we're a true ensemble".

…what shows do you watch? We can do this all day: "I stopped watching Mad Men when I realized it wasn't about the 60's, I stopped watching The Sopranos when I realized it wasn't about the mob, I stopped watching Happy Days when Richie had a bad day and I realized the premise was a lie"

I don't know that it's really about wrestling… it seems like a character driven sitcom. Like OITNB, a show that isn't really about prison.

I read Sam as a Roger Corman type whose artistry is not fully appreciated by anyone but himself and some budding film theorists who will eventually validate his approach in later decades. He really believes the things he's saying, but he also knows how it will be read after 20 years of making allegorical and…

They're real and they're spectacular.

Those are different quotes.

P.S. Love the cabin.

I don't think it had ever occurred to me until last night that Warren Frost and Grace Zabriskie's roles in Seinfeld might have been some kind of meta Twin Peaks stunt casting.

I mentioned the bisque.

It was pretty mediocre soup, both the boxed stuff and the actual NYC chain. Meh.

The worst is that HIMYM actually filmed a more logical ending to the whole thing, where the mom is still alive, and still ran with the stupid one

Somebody mentioned Fargo (jokingly, because almost none of it has ever been set in Fargo), but that show does a lot of things that I felt like Twin Peaks did well. Each season tells a coherent and cohesive story that still incorporates a lot of weird, funny shit. It hits a lot of the same notes that Twin Peaks did and…

Yeah, I mean the idea of an 18 hour long movie is indulgent in and of itself and I feel like nobody other than the kind of director whose movies never make money could get away with such a concept without being subject to such accusations.

I mean, I get it. We're a self selecting audience here at the AV Club. We all like other Lynch movies beyond TP (big Blue Velvet fan here). But I really don't get why that means we must necessarily think Twin Peaks would have been improved by being weirder and less accessible.

I really hate this idea that if you want Twin Peaks to be anything other than some kind of uber-scaled version of Mulholland Drive that you are a moron worthy of derision. For some people, the original Twin Peaks was all the David Lynch they needed in their lives.

Several characters in TOS were playing younger, including Lucy.

Part of that is surely the one off format, as opposed to the previous two hour blocks. Concepts introduced had way less time to pay off here.

Yeah, when lil Fido is ravaging that cute little stuffed squirrel you bought him… he thinks he is breaking it's neck. I have a friend who studied dog behavior in college… they aren't "good" or "bad" and such concepts really mean nothing to them.
