I finished the second season recently and, barring the first few episodes after the Laura Palmer story ended, I absolutely loved it.

The Catherine/Joan story, with all its twists and turns was so deliciously soapy.

The Lucy's baby story was great fun. I never knew Ian Buchanan could be so amazing.

Nadine's amnesia/adrenaline strength was totally ripped off from OLTL with Jessica. Lynch/Frost should sue.

I really liked the actress that conned James. She should have been picked up to be on a soap. Fiercely sexy.

Honestly, once the story with Windom Earl picked up steam I was instantly hooked again and went through the episodes pretty rapidly. Poor Leo is STILL holding that string by his teeth. :lol:

It pisses me off we couldn't get a real ending. I refuse to believe, my favourite character, Audrey died in that explosion. Refuse! She was too awesome for words to meet her maker. We need more women like that on TV.

And Jesus Christ, was Madchen Amick stunningly beautiful or what? She was retarded hot!

I was surprised to see Heather Graham show up. I never knew she was on this show.

And that whole sequence at the Black Lodge was crazy. But that end scene with Coop know being possessed by Bob. I WANT A THIRD SEASON DAMN IT!

Kyle MacLachlan has never had a better since Twin Peaks. I only really knew him from SATC and DH, where he didn't really register too much for me, but now, I'm a total fan of his.

And on a shallow note, Sheriff Truman, James and Bobby Briggs were damn sexy. :)

Ha! But I don't think it does really--to me at the last minute they decided Lost was about something else than I assumed it was. (Putting it basically). Twin Peaks was always meant to be about the quirky weird town, with the murder just used as an excuse--Lynch and Frost even made that clear in early interviews. When the network told them to hurry up and solve it they had toruble coming up with a similar "carrot" to lure viewers in, but still stayed true to their vision. Well except that one storyline... gah

Forget the murder mystery, no one is talking about that MacGuffin. I'm talking about a cursed forest, a parallel universe, demonic possessions, symbolism of dreams... They betrayed their own vision; no matter how much they claim it, it wasn't a show about an American town.

    • 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.
