Would like to buy the Entertainment Weekly mag special out this week about it, has anyone ever seen that mag in shops in Dublin. Eason etc?

I have the blu ray boxset, well worth picking up, excellent quality and the box is a great looking presentation.

I guess it might be time to watch season 1 & 2 again to get prepared.

I feel old was doing the LC when this was last on the box.

Was a fast 25 years.

Looking forward to this though hope it's as good as the first two series were.

Finished season 1 and 2

Forgot how badly it trailed off in the second half of season 2 but still enjoyable. If the studio had kept there nose out of it things could have been so much different.

But I've only started rewatching now. I thought I had longer. Hmm, is it possible to watch 29 episodes and a movie before tomorrow?

I was reading that Sky will have eps 3 and 4 on Demand right after the premiere episodes

Could anyone tell me if this would be suitable if you haven't seen the original series or will it just be wasted on me? Thanks lads

I implore you to watch the original avoiding the European pilot episode, and then the Fire Walk With Me film, you lucky so and so.

Didn't have time to rewatch both series and FWWM.

Wondering how difficult it would be to avoid spoilers of the new season over the coming weeks.

I'll be surprised if there's much of a plot to spoil.

Want some cherry pie with that saucer of milk?

There probably won't be traditional plot twists and turns to be spoiled but there's going to be a lot of focus on it over the coming weeks and I'd like to know as little as possible going forward.

Avoid Twitter and I say you'll be fine. But i suspect the show will defy 140 character hot takes.

Since she looks so different, I think every time Shelly is on, I'll just see Betty's mom

European pilot episode? Is this different from the pilot episode known as 'The Northwest passage?

The so-called European pilot was a self-contained version of the pilot episode that solved the mystery. It's basically the same plus an extra 20 minutes at the end. It was so the pilot could be screened theatrically in Europe or as a tv movie in the US in the event that the show wasn't picked up.

It is different and I think it's 20 minutes longer at around 115 minutes.
Dont watch it first as it wraps up the case and some of the footage is used in later episodes.
The pilot to watch is the 94 minute version.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks

Holy hell.

Unconstrained by the artistic limits of early 1990s television, Lynch and Frost go all in. This is a follow-up to Twin Peaks, but equally to Mullholland Drive, Inland Empire and Eraserhead. It is a relentless, unnerving nightmare, the two-hour premiere a delirious machinegun fire of surrealism, terror and of course a good few laughs. It's hard to tell how all of this will come together, but really the question is whether it even should - if it manages to sustain this level of visceral quality, it could just be a completely random selection of scenes for all I care (slight exaggeration - there is plenty plot to grab onto amidst the crazy).

Hard to tell how this will play to a wider audience - it's unfiltered Twin Peaks / David Lynch, what with its

flesh trees, prison apparitions and interdimensional mystery boxes

. There's fan service amid mystifying new stuff. In terms of its visual imagination and impeccably disturbing sound design, it's second to none but also made me feel genuinely stressed and uneasy throughout. It is as pure a directorial vision as television has ever seen, highlighting the only ever limited success of previous efforts at abstract, experimental television narratives.

I loved it, but I'm glad I have to wait until later to dig into episodes 3 and 4. There's a lot to digest and some nerves to settle in the meantime
