That cheesy soap opera feel is deliberate and only increases as the series progresses - if that bothers you, I wouldn't bother continuing.

Also, fair warning, I would ignore any advice Invidiot has to offer. Her bizarre analyses and theories are almost always completely off the mark.

i saw the first episode and i had 50 questions...

@GrandTardigrade

As per usual, Invidia's total lack of reading comprehension lead her to babble on about episode 8 of season 3, not 1 (which you were referring to).

The first two seasons of TP are basically a separate show from season 3/The Return, and are very different in tone and barely connected to it, and as AP mentioned, have a very distinctive "deliberate, cheesy soap opera" vibe about them.

I have to concur, try looking at the soap opera side of things in an ironic way. It's in my top 5 all time greatest shows, I'd never tell anyone to stop watching it so at least see season 1 out as you've almost finished it.

Now...my question for you Twin Peakers and Lynchians: Do you think I will keep enjoying if I keep watching? Did any of you feel similar about this far through and got past it or appreciated it after time? I like the basic plot, I'm ok with the surrealism, and I really want to know who killed Laura Palmer, I'm just getting turned off by the melodramatic soap-opera it's starting to embody.

NOTE how if one were to KEEP WATCHING the show, that would EVENTUALLY also include one's watching THE NEWER 2017 VERSION of it which is called THE RETURN.

So this topic also ILLUSTRATES the reason why the FORUM for the NEWER 2017 VERSION of the SHOW that I set up (even before the NEW EPISODES of THE RETURN began) should never have never been SHUT DOWN.

Not only because people who came here from the IMDB forum (after it was SHUT DOWN) then LEFT (because they couldn't FIND A PLACE here to DISCUSS the NEW SHOW),

but because MIXING UP DISCUSSIONS about the OLDER EPISODES from way back in the 1990's also leads to lots of CONFUSION, and to one's being UNFAIRLY ATTACKED by other posters which is illustrated here in this remark:

@Radio Free Geneva

As per usual, Invidia's total lack of reading comprehension lead her to babble on about episode 8 of season 3, not 1

THE NEW SHOW also contains SOAPY STUFF as well (such as the ROMANCE between the WAITRESS in the DOUBLE R DINER and BIG ED for example), but when an attempt is made to try and explain the reason why the NEWER SHOW also contains episodes that are NOT SOAPY, and the reason why one shouldn't just GIVE UP watching it because of the SOAPY STUFF one finds in it, look what happens.

One gets NASTY COMMENTS FLUNG at them ... (about their TOTAL LACK of COMPREHENSION and tendency to BABBLE) ... when they simply try to explain to someone WHY the SOAPY ISSUE isn't always an ISSUE in the NEWER SHOW ... and that one would also CHEAT THEMSELVES out of seeing some really GREAT and WORTHWHILE WATCHING SCENES ... if they were to simply conclude that it's NOT WORTH it to continue watching the REST of the NEW SHOWS because of the SOAPY stuff that one finds in it.

@Radio Free Geneva again:

The first two seasons of TP are basically a separate show from season 3/The Return, and are very different in tone and barely connected to it

In other words, the RUDE person who FLINGS the NASTY PERSONAL REMARKs was also saying and explaining the EXACT SAME THING to the poster that they attacked me for saying to them.

But they also MAKE the MISTAKE of saying THE NEW SHOW is SEASON 3 of the show, when DAVID LYNCH also clearly stated in an INTERVIEW that he did with the PRESS that THE NEW SHOW SHOULD NOT be considered to be SEASON 3 of the show.

So what we have is a POSTER who ATTACKS one poster for making a MISTAKE, and then PROCEEDS to MAKE the SAME KIND of a MISTAKE themselves, by referring to THE NEW SHOW being SEASON 3 of it when it is NOT.

AND IF we still had a SEPARATE FORUM for the NEWER 2017 VERSION of the SHOW (like the one that I SET UP that got SHUT DOWN), then not only would we have probably had MORE TRAFFIC and much more productive discussions here at this place, but then we'd probably also have been able to AVOID having still more pointless discussions like this one, where people keep FALSELY ASSUMING that THE NEWER VERSION of the 2017 SHOW is SEASON 3 of the show when it is NOT.

Ahem... https://mobile.twitter.com/DAVID_LYNCH/status/908382492280840192

Season 3, tweeted by the man himself.

Anyhow, checking out PETE'S SHORT VIDEO REVIEWS of the NEWER 2017 VERSION of the show should also give you an idea of whether or not you want to keep watching the rest of it or not.

LOL at you editing in "of the NEWER 2017 VERSION of the show" above your declared edit, to make it look like you knew that he was talking about season 1 and not 3, when clearly you didn't.

I have seen you edit your posts after someone replies, in the past, on other boards, then lie and deny doing it, and I knew you would do it again when I read Radio's post, so...

Here's your original post : https://i.imgur.com/f0wznlF.jpg

Here's your edited post: https://i.imgur.com/AnF9rnL.jpg

Also, it is quite clear that the DVD case in Lynch's tweet says "THE THIRD SEASON". Perhaps you need glasses?

A separate board is not required just because you don't know how to read, nor are any more of your meltdowns about it, like you had on the support board. Even the owner of this site told you to "dial it down" and said " don't know what you're talking about", and one of the mods says she has you on ignore.

I think it's pretty clear to all but yourself as to why people would take a look at these discussion boards and then look elsewhere.

@Invidia

LOL, I'm not wading through all that unreadable gibberish you vomited up, but you seem to speak with a lot of authority and have a lot of opinions for someone who HASN'T EVEN WATCHED THE SHOW !

You, constantly spamming boards with your nonsense and lies, is what actually drives people away.

Still LMAO @ the MOD, Marr, putting you on ignore because of your relentless personal attacks against her, and the owner of this site saying "Invidia, can we dial it down a notch ?" ... Good advice!

@Invidia

I refuse to even attempt to read that illegible, novel length rant of yours (and I doubt anyone else will either)...but there is no point in lying, since anyone can clearly see from my screencaps above, that Travis admonished you for your insults towards the moderator, Marr - who had to put you on ignore because of your abuse.

The thread with your meltdown, where you fought with multiple posters, is still posted, for anyone who cares to investigate further.

That's hilarious.

I think what you're really upset about, is that Amy caught you in multiple lies and hypocrisy, with those screencaps, and now you're doing everything in your power to distract from that with your wild claims about "false accusations" and "sock puppets". It's not false info, since they have the screencaps to prove what they're saying is true.

I find that funny, as would most people , whether or not they choose to post in this thread. The only troll here is you, with your long spam posts filled with personal attacks and conspiracy theories. The other people in this thread did offer advice to the OP that was actually relevant to his question.

If you haven't watched the show, what makes you think you're in a position to argue with people who did? But I guess it's not surprising coming from someone who argues with the site owner and even the MODs have to put on ignore.

Now go ahead and try to get the last word in a thread you previously implied you wouldn't be replying to anymore. Do you ever tell the truth? lol
