SPOILERS FOR TWIN PEAKS AND FIRE WALK WITH ME

So, I have gotten through the first two seasons of one of the most acclaimed shows of all time. A feat of network television in so many ways. Watching the show, you often wonder how Lynch was able to get certain shit on the air. The second season drags a bit, becoming a bit too mired in traditional network TV tropes (anything to do with James, Donna, and Nadine come to mine). But that may have been due in large part to Lynch departing the show to produce Wild at Heart. The show did suffer. But in the final episode of the whole goddamn show, Lynch comes back and leaves it on a fucking cliffhanger with one of the most cryptic episodes in the history of television (up to that point). Then he gets a studio to potentially produce three films set in the universe, starting off with the prequel film: Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It was not successful, both critically and commercially. Thus, putting a stake in the franchise as a whole.

Time has been friendly to the show and the film. It maintained a cult following over the years as people begged for a continuation. I am writing this as someone who will start the sequel series some point soon. But for now, I am going in knowing that there is a sequel. This may fuck with my interpretation, but who cares.

I just finished Fire Walk With Me. It was one of my favorite films I have seen in this little life of mine. One of the pieces I love is the overall character of Laura Palmer. Her character is intensely tragic. Sheryl Lee is one of those special actors who is absolutely unafraid. She was so intense in the film that you cannot help but love her. Despite her reckless lifestyle, when she is relieved at the end of the film, laughing that she has been saved, you can’t help but love her.

(Okay so I’ll finish this later, but 10/10 for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me)
