A recurring problem with season 2 is that instead of playing with soap opera conventions, they'll just have a really bad soap opera plot.
I thought the James/femme fatale bits would have been improved if, in that town, a surreal, twin peaks-esque soap was popular on TV.

OK, so this is my new favorite thing: Agt. Cooper's dream sequence from the first season auf Deutsch! Interestingly enough, while the backmasked Black Lodge dialog is a German dub, the subtitles are in English. Really, that just seems to defeat the whole purpose of the effort, but who am I to argue with this treasure.

Oh God this is great. It's just that much creepier.
Also, I kind of love this tattoo.

If I were going to get a TP-themed tattoo, I think I'd go with Sherilyn Fenn's butt, with a butt-shaped tattoo on it, and I'd get it right on my butt.

Same here! What I find so fascinating about it though is that the LEAST scary part is actually when "evil dude" appears.

I wonder if he was hired for X-Files because of his role Twin Peaks? Both characters were army guys with UFO connections, seems too much of a coincidence.

UK, rather than US. I don't think the Season 2 situation is so clear cut over here in terms of DVDs that will actually work.

I saw an ad for a Lifetime movie starring him -- he just looked like an adultified Bobby, in a way that seemed almost a bit creepy! He has ... teenaged features, I think. They are not what you expect on an older person.

the gold box edition of the whole series was released in region 2 as well, it's on amazon.co.uk for about 60 pounds

"While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and a hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and will gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject, absolutely, revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman."

i can't even believe someone would pose this question. twin peaks is so obviously one of the best television shows ever created that anyone who thinks otherwise automatically gets written off, by me at least.

For a supposed "best TV show ever," TWIN PEAKS goes downhill pretty far, pretty fast. Remember the stuff with James and the vixen (which just... ends, as if the writers knew how awful it was and pulled a plug somewhere)? Or super-strength Nadine? Or anything with Josie Packard? The Dick Tremaine/Andy/Little Nicky thing actually comes across as one of the better subplots during the show's worst dry spell, just subsequent to Leland Palmer's death.

I've said it before & I'll say it again: Even "bad" Twin Peaks is great camp (& wicked parody of soap-opera-type drama, even in unintentional) and the black lodge storyline segue into wtf finale totally makes up for whatever shitness claims might be directed at the second-season lull IMO.
