    shit we're like 6 episodes into it and not much has happened...i was a bit afraid due to the fact that there was many years and his films were evolving...didn't know will he make the thing "Rabbit/Inland Empire" style or a bit more conventional...now i know...

    his style of filmmaking in Elephant man and original Twin Peaks is dare i say way different than later stuff - Mulholland Drive > Lost Highway > Inland Empire...

    What i liked about the original was the great detective / small town / trippy experience series with great add on elements all around. You had the crazy sequences in the lodge, when there was a lot of justification for it due to paranormall things...now it's kinda everywhere...i don't know - we're half way through the series and not a lot of things really sorted...sequences with Dougie being lost are just destroying the series for me...they take way too long and they don't yet lead to anything...

    i do enjoy the vibe and the journey, but i think if there was no legacy of the old series and the pure nostalghia - i would probably stopped it...

    of course it's my opinion based on first 6 eps...i might be completely wrong when i reassess after all is done...

    • Yeah I agree. The premiere episode gave me both twin peaks and mulholland drive vibes, but it's veered into something very different.SteveJobs
    • Cooper was arguably the central point of the original series so with his long absence it's hard to not get impatient awaiting his return.SteveJobs
    • If you don't have patience, don't bother with anything by Lynch. I think we the plot made a lot of progress in episode 6.CyBrainX
    • ^ I meant episode 7. I lost track there.CyBrainX
    • i didn't say i don't have the patience...i said i enjoy the journey but i pointed some things i thought were flawed imho...loool
    • episodes 6 & 7 are very important. ;) bar sweeping scene was pure lynch. i think we're just starting to get the plot. my 2 cents.renderedred
