Twin Peaks

Has anyone else watch this awesome show? I just started watching it, and I must say it is one of the greatest things I have ever seen.

It involves soap opera style romance and drama, (Blah blah burn down the mill to collect the insurance, oh no! Fraud!) a sub-plot (Or main plot) of a secret society and major supernatural occurences in the village, (Of course called Twin Peaks) as well as existentialism and shit, all centering around one totally awesome FBI agents sent to investigate the murder of the local High School Prom Queen with a dark secret. (Not the kinds you think; she was possessed and haunted by spirits) One of the best characters is the Log Lady, aptly named as she carries a log with her everywhere. The Log Lady says stuff like, "My Log saw something the night of the murder. You can ask it if you like."

The characters in the show are perfectly played. It ended before they could resolve it, and at first you wish they could re-make it. Sadly, all the original actors are too old or dead, and they couldn't get the right people to play them again. One of the greatest (And fucking creepiest) characters of all time is Bob. Bob is a technically nameless man(?) with rageddy gray hair and a long face. He's crazy.

The show manages to blend all the elements in perfectly, you never get tired with any segment of the show. They inject enough humor, drama, and horror into each episode so you're always entertained.

Damn, I love this show. And yes, it is basically Lost (In the sense of plot twists and mysteries) in the 90s. Even if you don't like Lost, you'll probably love the show.

It's on TV-Links too! At least try it!

...Damn good coffee!
