Well if that doesn't prove your kids are even smarter than you I don't knoqw what will.

As I said I will get around to rewatching it during the next few months. It was something I was considering doing this year because of the 35th anniversary. Incidentally I first watched the series when it aired on Bravo and I saw the second season FIRST and then eventually watched it all in order. I think Lynch himself would be proud of me for doing so: as we all know linear narratives were never his thing ;)

I will do the whole thing of course. And you need to know going in I have no expectation of it making a lick of sense. I have bought more than a few books trying to give interpretations of what happens in all three seasons and I may rely on them more than some of the other books I've used to do episode guides for TV over the years online but I have to say:

There's an old line that Kurosawa gave to many of the people who saw Rashomon for the first time and said they had no idea what the ending meant and he said that it was there. Ebert said that Kurosawa said that while they're might be a RESOLUTIN there was not necessarily an EXPLANATION. That pretty much describes at least two thirds of all the movies lYNCH had made over the years and it sure as hell applies to Twin Peaks. eVERYTHING i said in my review is absolutely true in that regard. Lynch no doubt polarized the masses because he didn't explain anything; he left the interpretations to others and never bother to say if they were right. Ambiguity is not something most people like in so much of movies and TV and I do get that. But sometimes aura and atmosphere is enough. It was for Twin Peaks.
