The Show

It's strange that David Lynch says he prefers long-form stories, such as TV shows, rather than movies, given that every single one of his movies, save for 'The Straight Story', has been R rated, and this includes 'Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me', the movie based on the show! This means that, whatever he'd like to do wouldn't be able to be shown on network television, and probably wouldn't have the penetration and viewership to keep going. Add to that the fact that he's made many short films for his website, and this becomes even stranger.

'Twin Peaks' is an intricately-woven tapestry. Hardly an episode goes by without some strand or some sub-plot being resolved or started. There isn't one episode without continuity, and skipping an episode will throw off any casual viewer. Every episode is important and every scene has something to give to the show. That's pretty rare and it shows the thought given to every script, and to the series as whole.

When the show ends, there are some loose ends, but these were obviously left there for possible later use. However, all the sub-plots intertwine and mesh, and everything makes strange sense, even if you don't completely believe what you're seeing. By the middle of the second season, you wonder how everything is going to tie up. Nadine's strength, Leo's boot, Laura's diary, the strange Japanese guy buying Ghostwood - these are all elements of a particular puzzle and trying to piece everything together is mind-boggling.

On the flip side of that coin, everything comes together seamlessly and the case evolves organically, with the right information coming at the right time. Nothing, however, seems forced. Everything seems to flow naturally. There's a persistent, overly-noir score that keeps everything together. The strands of mysticism and spiritualism also help glue disjointed elements together.

The show isn't perfect, though. The whole Evelyn subplot doesn't really seem to lead anywhere. Even after it's over, you're left wondering why it was shot. It takes up a lot of time, but seems a rather empty. The Dale Cooper character also seems to vary in his awe and his use of dialogue. This is something picky, but I found that, in some episodes, Dale Cooper had tremendously original dialogue, but in some others, it's a lot blander. The second half of the second season also tried to re-energize the series for reasons I won't go into. The makers knew there would be a lull and they did a nice job keeping my attention.

The biggest disappointment for me is the very last few moments of the series. I suppose in some interpretations it make sense, but it, in my mind, is flat and not as thought out as the rest of the series. For a series that prides itself on implying instead of saying, the last few shots seem pretty explicit for no particular reason. One can ask 'How do you finish a show like "Twin Peaks"?', which is a good question, and a hard one to answer.

Fans of any show always have a moment that shoves them over the edge into fandom. For me, it was fairly early in the pilot. Dale Cooper and Sheriff Truman are walking in the hospital and Dale stops the Sheriff and says, 'Let me stop you here in the hallway for one second'. The inclusion of 'in the hallway' grabbed my attention and I wanted to know everything about Dale Cooper. From that moment on, I was hooked.

Trying to condense the plot in one paragraph is just absurd, because there's so much going on. I'll try to be as concise as possible. The pilot starts with the discovery of the body of Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee), a pretty, popular girl, and this shocks the community. For reasons that will be revealed later, the FBI gets involved. FBI Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) comes in to investigate. He gets the help of intelligent and confident Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean) his fellow officers, innocent and child-like Andy Brennan (Harry Goaz), brave and spiritual Hawk (Michael Horse) and the station secretary Lucy Moran (Kimmie Robertson). The city also has a gaggle of quirky citizens: Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn) and her father, Ben (Richard Beymer), James Hurley (James Marshall) and his parents, Ed (Everett McGill) and Nadine (Wendie Robie), Shelly Johnson (Madchen Amick) and her husband, Leo (Eric Da Re), Norma Jennings (Peggy Lipton) and her ex-con husband Hank (Chris Mulkey), Bobby (Dana Ashbrook) an his father Major Briggs (Don Davis), Donna (Lara Flynn Boyle) and her father, Will (Warren Frost), Jocelyn Packard (Joan Chen), Pete (Jack Nance) and Catherine Martell (Piper Laurie), and Laura Palmer's parents, Leland (Ray Wise) and Sarah (Grace Zabrinskie). These characters' lives tangle and twist together in mysterious and unexpected ways.

In addition, the series has some very nice guest stars, both in front of and behind the camera. Molly Shannon, David Duchovny, Billy Zane, Heather Graham and even Ted Raimi make pre-fame appearances. Behind the camera, James Foley, Diane Keaton and Caleb Deschanel, among others, each direct an episode. Even co-creator Mark Frost lends a hand. The best episodes, however, are directed by David Lynch himself.

His strange sense of humour and weird reality definitely show through, not only in his episodes, both in the entire series. There's a fish in the percolator, apparently. With lines like 'Let me get this straight: your entire country is above the timber line?' and 'There is an epidemic of multiple gunshot wounds..." you know whose mind you're looking into.

After watching the entirety of 'Twin Peaks', I can understand why David Lynch prefers long-form storytelling. This series is eccentric, to say the least, and even if individual scenes, out of context, seem wacky and silly, in the show everything flows together. The series is ultimately about secrets. Everybody has something to keep, and looking deeper, greater and more shocking secrets are revealed. These secrets keep you coming back, and keep you glued to your television set for the entire series.

Telling you the plot in each episode is pretty pointless, given the continuity in the series, so here's what happens in each episode:

disc 1:

Laura Palmer's body found. Dale Cooper eats pie and comes to Twin Peaks. Mill shuts down. Secrets. Details everywhere.

International Version (1:30:37 + Alternate Ending (22:10), 1:52:47 total)
This is the version shown in some international markets, and it has its own ending. It's a closed ending, with 'everything' wrapped up in a nice little bow. This ending is completely inappropriate and makes no sense in relation to the pilot. I much prefer the original version, as it leads very nicely into the series. The ending, by the way, is also the ending to Episode 2.

Video

1.33:1 full screen. The picture is pretty consistent throughout the entire series. From the pilot to the series finale, the picture quality is pretty strong. Granted, darker scenes are fairly noisy, and close-ups are softer than other shots, but the rest of the series holds up pretty well. There are only a few specks in the entire series, and the colours are pretty strong, rarely, if ever, showing edge enhancement. Contrast is strong and the colours are stable, except in a few two or three instances. The level of detail is good enough and there's a nice grain level throughout the show. I was a bit surprised by the transfer, and on a tube TV it will look great.

Audio

Each episode comes in English Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo tracks, as well as Spanish and Portuguese tracks (both in Dolby Digital 2.0 mono). The entire series has also been remixed in Dolby Digital 5.1. Both purists and audio freaks will enjoy this series. The original track is present and offers a very nice and robust presentation. The 5.1 mix likewise sounds great. It keeps the feel of the original track while opening up the sound field very subtly. The centre channel handles almost everything, and handles it very well. The four other speakers handle the score and other sound effects, such as footsteps and doors opening and closing. Rain is also heard when the scene calls for it. Even the subwoofer chimes in when the waterfall is used as an establishing shot. The volume levels are very nice and people who change the settings on their system will probably want to change them back. The score is always present but very atmospheric and adds a nice element to the show. It swells up to the rear speakers occasionally, when it's most needed. The remixing is very well done and fans of the show will not be disappointed.
English, Spanish and Portuguese subtitles are provided.

Extras

For starters, disc one has some Previews for 'Dexter' (0:37), 'Ghost Whisperer: The Second Season' (0:53), 'CSI' sets (1:46), 'Mission: Impossible: The Second Season' (0:33)

Disc nine continues with Lost and Found, which are a set of deleted scenes. These don't add too much information, though they do add some little character details for Johnny, and explains why there are all these donuts on the table at the police station. The scenes are 'Jerry's Wandering Eye' (0:50), '27 Going on 6' (2:29), 'Lucy, Andy and Donuts' (0:49) and 'Something About Johnny' (1:35). These are nice scenes, though, but, as I said, don't add much to the overall series. It's actually just surprising that these scenes have been kept.

Some really interesting Production Documents are next. It's a bunch of script pages, call sheets and insert shots that had to be shot. It's fascinating to see how detailed some of these notes were.

Disc ten houses the rest of the extras, and they're great. Here they are broken down by section.

A Slice of Lynch (29:59)
Madchen Amick, Kyle MacLachlan and John Wentworth (post-production/production guy on many David Lynch movies) sit down with David Lynch everybody talks about 'Twin Peaks'. They talk about how the two actors got their role. They also discuss how the original script changed, and got from North Dakota to the Northwest. David Lynch and Madchen Amick also talk about their kiss. Mr. Lynch reveals how he came up with the name Gordon Cole and why he came up with that voice for his character. They also reminisce about their favorite moment from the series. It's a great half-hour and fascinating for any fan of the show. Unfortunately, there is some overlap between this and the 'Secrets from Another Place' section, but overall, there's not much repeated.

Secrets from Another Place: Creating 'Twin Peaks'
This section is divided into four parts that combine to make an excellent documentary. The parts cover the genesis, titling, casting of the pilot, the creating and weaving of the first season, the making of the music and the continuation and evolution of the second season. Just about everybody that worked in the series, with the notable exception of Mr. Lynch, are interviewed and talk about every aspect of the series. The talk of the ending of the series and why it ended is really interesting, especially when explained in context (a big problem was the show was shuffled around by the network and was pre-empted a lot by the Gulf War, so viewers couldn't really follow along because they didn't know when the show was playing). Mark Frost does try to explain the very last moments and what they wanted to do with Dale, but I still think it could have been better. The four parts are: 'Northwest Passage: Creating the Pilot' (30:32), 'Freshly Squeezed: Creating Season One' (30:35), 'Where We're From: Creating the Music' (17:43) and 'Into the Night: Creating Season Two' (30:18).

'Saturday Night Live'
There's the opening Monologue with Kyle MacLachlan (4:28) and a Twin Peaks Sketch (9:07). The monologue is pretty funny, with Kyle revealing who killed Laura Palmer. The sketch is absolutely hilarious, hitting the right absurdist notes from the already offbeat series.

Twin Peaks Festival
This contains Return to Twin Peaks (19:41). I can say here that age hasn't been too good to some of the actors. Every year, fans gather in the small Washington town where the show was shot, seeing locations and playing games. This is a recap of the June 2006 weekend. Tons and tons of fans are interviewed and you learn about the festival and how fun it is. It also has an Interactive Map. There are some eight spots in a map of the fake city, and you get too learn about them, through commentary by, I believe, one of the gentlemen in the 'Return to Twin Peaks' featurette. The eight locations are: 'The Sign' (0:34), 'The Packard Lodge' (1:15), 'Laura's Log' (1:03), 'Packard Saw Mill/Sheriff Station' (0:52), 'The Great Northern' (1:26), 'Ronette's Bridge' (1:00), 'Double R Diner' (0:46) and 'The Roadhouse' (0:34). There are some nice bits of trivia for fans of the show, though, having watched the previous featurette, if you're a fan of the show, you probably already know these bits of information.

The Black Lodge Archive
These are a collection of promo materials. The first thing here is the 'Falling' Music Video (4:21), which is fairly minimalistic and very cheesy. It's very early '90s and pretty low budget. There are a lot of clips from the show intercut with close-ups of the singer. Next is a group of Georgia Coffee Commercials, which is a Japanese company's idea of good marketing. The series of commercials is really weird, and typically Japanese, if you know Japanese advertising. The commercials are called 'Lost' (0:35), 'Cherry Pie' (0:39), 'A Mystery of "G"'; (0:40), 'The Rescue' (0:40) and 'A Mystery of "G" and Pet (Alternate)' (0:40). Three Image Galleries (The Richard Beymer Gallery, Unit Photography, Twin Peaks Trading Cards) are next. The third one contains pictures of the entire 76-card set, which is actually pretty interesting. Then you have a bunch of On-Air Promos/Spots, 'Coming April 8th' (0:32), 'Only One Place' (0:13), 'What They're Trying to Say' (0:22), 'A Show Like This' (0:33), 'If You Miss It' (0:22), 'Tape Recorder' (0:23), 'Lumber Truck' (0:22), 'Next' (0:50), 'There's No Place Like Home' (0:33), 'T-Shirt Ad' (0:33), 'Holiday Greeting' (0:12) and 'Patriot Greeting' (0:39). Some 1-900 Hotline tips also here. These are a series of messages that you could listen to by calling the number to catch up if you missed the previous episodes. There's a 1-900 Promo Spot (0:35) and 8 actual messages (2:47, 2:43, 2:46, 2:43, 2:46, 2:42, 2:50, 2:50), which don't really add much to what you already know, unless you missed an episode. The last things are commercial bumpers ('We'll be right back'-type of messages). They're called Lucy Bumpers, and they last 6 seconds each: 'Get the Sheriff', 'Cup O' Joe', 'Donut Time 1', 'Donut Time 2', 'Douglas-Firs' and 'Stop Sawing Logs'.
