    Seems pretty dumb for Showtime (especially) and Netflix not to include FWWM. It's bugging me lol.

    Or be like me and buy the entire mystery blu-ray boxset and you'll have both seasons, the film and lots of cool extras? It's a win and one of my favorite blu-ray sets, even now almost 2 and a half years after I got it in 2014.

    There's probably some rights issues when it comes to FWWM being streamed

    Just finished the Season 2 opener. Man, that feeling you get when you watch certain scenes and you know David directed this one. Seeing the giant brought back memories, this is one of the ones I watched as a kid.

    That opening scene with the senile room service guy had us in stitches.

    i had a theory early on about who it was, but i was wrong. once i realized (via a handwriting sample) that i was wrong, i started paying more attention to the way things were worded and realized there's only one person in the town who speaks like that. it was such a fun read.

    also, i don't know if you've watched gravity falls, but i was imagining the agent analyzing the dossier as Tyrone Pines (Dipper's first clone from the "double dipper" episode) given the initials haha. it made it fun to read the annotations in his voice. it was cool learning who it was at the end and i'm hoping that person is a part of the new season.

    the first time i watched through the series, i was FLIPPING OUT during that scene because i was so worried about cooper. this time, i was cracking up. also, current mood (been immobile for almost 36 hours because of a neck/shoulder injury i sustained yesterday morning) -

    Have hit episode 11. Things are kind of meandering a bit. I'm a bit disappointed in how shallow Lucy comes across now (her reasons for being upset with Andy) and how just fucking unlikeable Donna is becoming. And that little scene with James playing guitar.....ugh, painful.

    Still, interesting things happening with Leland, the One-Armed Man and the net narrowing in around Bob.

    Also I admire just how creepy they can get a relatively ordinary-looking guy to come across with just the right types of camera work and audio trickery.

    You guys convinced me to get the secret history book. About half way through and generally enjoying it. Definitely a lot of "wait, is that real? *wikipedia* huh, I guess it is"

    Finished Episode 15 and 16 just now. Spoiler alerts even though I'm still not naming names.

    Spoiler: Knowing how Lynch works and the themes he explores, I can't say I didn't see the recent death coming. And my suspicions were right about the killer...unfortunately. There was....a lot of debatably sexual imagery going on nearly from the very start where that character was concerned. I appreciate that we haven't dwelled on the implications in an expository fashion and hope we don't. It's worse if they leave you to think about it. Ugh.

    What a punch to the gut 15 was.

    "Tojamura" is goddamned hilarious. My SO called it from the first scene. And I'm laughing at Ben Horne's current misfortunes.

    Yes, I've never seen it. And I was afraid of that, having heard that it's something of a harsher watch more in line with Dave's subsequent films. Oh,man.

    On a brighter note, Hawk is one of the best parts of this show. "Some of my best friends are white people."

    But here is my problem.
    Once i got to the part about Josie, i felt suddenly like i really needed to rewatch the show to get the most out of the book.
    Do i NOT need to rewatch it?

    i mean, why not re-watch the show in preparation for the new season? it's great and it's not that long!
    @Shadaloo that is, hands down, my favorite line of the entire show. hawk is great, and there's a part in the book written from his perspective that is just fucking fantastic.

    Episodes 17 and 18:

    -If I ever meet Ray Wise, I need to shake his hand vigorously. That was one hell of a performance; terrifying and heartbreaking. What a great conclusion to the main plotline.

    -I can tell by E18 that this is where the show starts taking a dip in quality. Still watchable though.

    -Also, that's the most hilariously unconvincing Mountie I've ever seen. As a Quebec resident, it is beyond hilarious to me that somewhere just across the border up north of Washington, in British Columbia, apparently lies a hidden township completely full of morally questionable Quebecois with the worst accents I've ever heard.

    i read the book while we were in the midst of our rewatch. i don't think it matters what order you do it in, honestly. but it definitely is giving me a new perspective on certain events that are occurring (we're just behind Shadaloo).

    oh, don't get me wrong.
    I've seen the second season and FWWM. It's just that it's BEEN awhile.
    I'm trying to figure out if i need to REWATCH the show before i finish the book.

    I wouldn't have bought the book if i didn't love the show.

    Have finished Episode 22.

    I can tell Lynch and Frost have not been involved for a few episodes now: holy shit this is bad. Painfully, painfully, hard-to-watch bad. All of these subplots are ridiculous, people are acting painfully out of character, and the show's turned into a poorly edited directionless mess. The only things going on of remote interest are the whole lodge/coverup angle, Windom Earle, and Leo. Everything else...little Nicky, the sex witch (???), James vs. the cougar, Bobby the suckup, Ben Horne's promising descent into madness becoming cartoonish and silly, the Packard intrigue...the show has become the soap opera/bad sitcom it subverted and it's baaaaad.

    Who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to even give James his own plotline anyway? Even during the best of the show's episodes, he and Donna lost relevance really early on and just became annoying and irritating quick. Nothing would be lost if they both just vanished right now.

    Ugh, I know the show gets good again soon but....CHRIST MY BRAIN.

    Holy crap, those James episodes are bad. We're on a rewatch right now as well and every time he is on screen, I cringe a little in anticipation of what is to come.

    my wife and i always go "UGHHHHHH JAMES!" because he sucks so much.

    don't remember which one it is, but one of the james-centric episodes was directed by Diane Keaton, which always makes me laugh.

    last night we watched the episode with one of my favorite lines from anyone, but definitely from Andy - "I'm a whole damn TOWN!"

    i set a reminder on my phone because i knew i'd be out working...and my phone didn't remind me. thankfully, when i got back to my parents' a few minutes ago (almost 4pm CST), my computer reminded me, and they weren't sold out. i don't think they're doing super limited runs like they do with certain things.

    I'm currently re-watching the first season from the marathon Showtime did as I've seen all of the episodes up till the reveal of Laura's real killer in the 2nd season. I haven't gone to Episode 16 yet which I will get to as I'm kind of dreading those non-Lynch episodes.

    Finished the book.. I read it over the course of maybe 2-3 sessions and overall I enjoyed it, though it did drag at times. I wonder how much, if any, of this was derived from Frost's notes when they were creating/writing the original show vs created post hoc to serve as a bridge between seasons 1/2 and season 3.

    After a few weeks' hiatus due to construction work and general business, we finally sat down last night and watched through to Ep. 26. The show recovers; some very good moments like the recent major character death. There's a great sense of trimming the fat; I'm really glad we seem to now be done with Hank and especially James. Some cringeworthy stuff still, like Billy Zane's dead-eyed character and that awful fashion show "weasel riot", but on the whole it's good so see a lot of familiar elements come back to the fore along with some interesting developments; Lucy and Andy seem like themselves again, and Ben Horne's environmentalist angle is played convincingly enough I do have to ask myself if he's being sincere. Coop's chemistry with Annie is actually kind of sweet, and it's great to see Lynch back as Gordon Cole
