"She's dead. Wrapped in plastic."

Date: Friday, February 24, 1989: Homecoming Queen Laura Palmer is found dead,
washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic sheeting. FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper
is called in to investigate the murder of this young woman in the small,
Northwestern town of Twin Peaks. What he doesn't know is that in
Twin Peaks, no one is innocent.

YES! I am so thankful that we have this FORUM because I was a big fan of Twin Peaks! And I probably wouldn't have known that it existed if it weren't for Soap Opera Digest because they covered it. Who killed Laura Palmer? That was the question that many people wanted to unravel, but little did they know what was in store for them. Especially a show created by David Lynch and Mark Frost.

Are you talking about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me? What didn't make sense to you because I've watched the movie like 150 times and I think I understood David Lynch's logic about the movie once and for all! :lol:

"I watched the movie a little while go and it made no sense once so ever!"

Hi, this is my first post...long time lurker but this thread encouraged me to register. Anyway, Fire Walk With Me should only be watched after you see the entire series - or at the very least through until the Palmer murder is solved. My suggestion is to watch the U.S. pilot first, then the entire series, and THEN watch Fire Walk With me. Even though it's a prequel to the series, it won't make any sense without viewing the series. (It's also the weakest link in the entire saga, although it has its moments.)

Also, if/when you find the Pilot, be sure it;s the U.S. version and not the European version, which was designed as a single event and spoils parts of the series.

    • Yup, i thought it was Adamson. Backtracking...I love that Kristina knows now. Her smug disrespectful attitude toward Alexis was pissing me off. If not for the blackmailing Alexis part I would be rooting for Ric. This a been a decent sweeps period for GH, I'm liking the stories right now. Good thing I can watch third party GH clips online to keep up because Beyond The Gates is keeping attention at 2PM. It's making me miss my days of living in a 3pm GH market.
    • I always thought it was a bit odd that they brought in the brother and sister of a character who had been killed off ages before, and who was the wife of a character no longer on the show (Jeff). They were really dull. I would think the reason he hated playing Dan was that he was Brooke's plaything while she was waiting around for a more exciting lover. Just like Wally, he was portrayed as a dullard and a bust in the bedroom. Many, many moons ago, I saw Kelly on Broadway in the play Deathtrap. He played the role Christopher Reeve played in the movie. I remember recognizing him from the show and thinking, wow, he's a way better actor than I thought he was! He probably had a good theatrical career after soaps.
    • This. The 1994 telecast had some of my favorite winners with Zaslow finally getting his due, Melissa Hayden, and all three major players in the Marty rape storyline getting recognized (HBS, Haskell, Howarth). 
    • You thought it was Adamson? He read but apparently he had no chance. He felt disrespected by the show's reaction to him, according to his tweet.
    • I suspected the actor who played Noah Newman would become the new Michael, but I didn't expect it was the recasted Noah Newman who would become Michael!
    • I didnt mean that I thought he would kill her; just that he gave off the impression that he had the capacity to do so. The original Ted portrayed him with more of a dark side when they were together. Its the switch up I see in True Crime stories when an upstanding pillar of the community ends up doing heinous things under people's noise whom would never beleive  he'd do when in actuality, he's a covert monster. Thats a dichotomy in the character as portrayed by Maurice that I dont see anymore
    • I think one mistake that later writers made with Gail was to make her either Lee's angelic wife or the therapist that was an easy dupe for evil characters that required treatment.  Under Marland, there was a series of scenes where Tracy goaded Lee to drink, Jessie witnessed it and spilled the beans about what she saw to Gail.  Gail, then, in turn, ripped Tracy a new one.  I wish that Gail and Tracy scene still existed on YouTube.  It was glorious not only to see evil Tracy be put in her place, but to see some real fire from Gail.
    • I won't be. We all know that the shelf life of a villainess isn't very long. Trisha Mann-Grant is the breakout star of BtG and she is destined for bigger and better things.
    • I feel CBS/P&G got really shaken by 1978-1982 ABC huge rise and domination, thus the changes to the shows. Considering Capitol showed no growth, I wonder if CBS ever regretting cancelling Search for Tomorrow. From the 1980s Ratings thread, Capitol pretty much inherited Search for Tomorrow audience but Capitol ratings were impacted when One Life to Live rebounded in 1985 with Andrea Evans return. Remember Capitol was head-to-head with the second half of One Life to Live. Even if CBS kept Search for Tomorrow, I think it would've ended as soon as Bill Bell had a second show ready. Funny thing is Search for Tomorrow NBC run was only three months shorter that Capitol run.
    • This was Bill's most complicated moment. The pecs stole the show and what was left from Brooke's dignity.
