Twin Peaks
When Twin Peaks started to be shown in Germany (September 1991) , there was a lot of hype around the show. I didn't like that, so I missed the pilot (episode 1000). I was channel-surfing when the second episode (1001) came on and I stayed with it. I couldn't figure out what was going on like I could with everything else on TV. So I continued to watch. I was amazed on the depth of the show. It was funny, intelligent, even the supernatural appeared. I watched all the episodes through the two seasons. Twin Peaks truly changed how TV was made.
Because I knew I had missed details, I was excited to see the whole show on tape again. It was the first time that I saw the pilot. Only second to episode 2007, it is a masterpiece and the best TV ever aired. David Lynch was the director of those two episodes, so I also became a fan of most of his other movies. Anyway, I collected info and links on Twin Peaks and David Lynch movies here.
My thoughts
I gave a
speech on 'What makes TwinPeaks a great TV show?' in
my English Pronunciation class in Missouri. Careful, spoilers included. Here is the outline:
