well, i think i can afford this. thinking about it is a little late, really, as it has already been ordered, and will be on its way to me from the USA rather soon! i have been sat with season one of Twin Peaks for a good 4 or 5 years now, my folks kindly picked it up for me. i, ahem, have not really done much with it, as it was all of 7 episodes and i suspected just watching those would be a more frustrating experience than anything else.
season two has been available for most of the year, but i have been using my funds somewhat more wisely, ie purchasing things for James. as he seems to have an abundance of things lined up for his birthday and Christmas, i guess it is OK for me to buy something for myself!!
in the UK, and i would imagine at the time here in SA, Twin Peaks was shown as one continuous series - i guess in the States they decided to split it. there were no continuity errors or mishaps that i recall, so watching the whole thing as one gets my recommendation. there is a rather lavish "gold box edition" out there for those who have none of this majestic series, go buy it!
for some reason the critics get very lazy and just dismiss the latter series or part of Twin Peaks as being not as good as the first. this is not the case at all - the arrival of Windom Earle was inspired, and the "deaths by Shelley quotes and chess board moves" plot was and shall always be awesome!with so many fan and official Twin Peaks sites out there for all to see, i really don't see a good deal of sense in me going on about the series in too much detail here!!
remember, the owls are not what they seem................
