Lilty, the Twin Peaks pilot was released as a separate movie in Europe. That's the only version available. Unfortunately, the last ten minutes or so spoil the storyline in the movie version, which is different from the actual pilot. (The difference being just those last ten minutes which were used to wrap some things up.)
So. You need to watch the movie/pilot (which is fantastic, by the way) all the way up to the last ten minutes then STOP. Don't go down into the basement in the end. Then you start watching the regular series.
Or you can gank a pirated copy of the original pilot off eBay or some such.

I bought a region free version of the pilot pilot on Ebay. It's legit, but not a great transfer.
This is sweeps week, keerect?
I've got a region free pilot pilot, too. The transfer's okay. They're pretty easy to come by.
When I was in high school, I could do the dwarf backwards voice thing. I suspect I needed a hobby. Or to watch less Twin Peaks.
This is sweeps week, keerect?
Looks like sweeps for Feb this year run from Feb 3 to Feb 23, so yeah.
Finally got my Wonderfalls DVDs Thursday but didn't have a chance to watch them before the con. Watched the first two DVDs Monday and the third last night. I even taped Veronica Mars because I was between episodes right before VM started and didn't want to wait an hour to see the last two.
Overall, I really enjoyed the show and was glad to finally see all 13 episodes and would happily watch more if it existed, though some of the proposed story ideas for seasons 2 and 3 I've heard mentioned here are worrisome. However, I don't mourn the show the way I do Firefly.
One thing I would have liked, regarding the final arc, would be for
Heidi to have had some redeeming value. I understand it was to help us sympathize with Jaye, but she was already sympathetic to me at that point. Heidi was such an unapologetic, overwhelming bitch that I never once wondered if maybe the muses were right in having Jaye get them back together, but instead just sat there waiting for the inevitable twist to happen. Don't get me wrong, I felt Jaye's pain and got a little watery-eyed at points, but I think as a whole it would have been more moving if it didn't feel like everything was just waiting for the "stars to align".
I agree with the grumblings about Totem Mole and particularly its placement in the season. I did get a kick out of
Jerry the shopkeeper,
though. Particularly after the
shooting.
While I liked Crime Dog, my one issue with it is
Yvette/Cindy seemed like she was a live-in housekeeper, particularly with the "She practically raised us" comments from Jaye and Aaron but we never see her before or after the episode.
Loved Lovesick Ass, particularly the exchange after
Peter tries to attack Eric with the bat.

Though I expressed reservations earlier about
the Miracle Baby storyline, that pales before the amount of disbelief suspension required by Sharon giving up smoking before she realizes she's pregnant. (Fuller said that her early pregnancy weight gain would be mistakenly attributed to giving up cigarettes.) Give me something easier to believe guys—like reanimated corpses walking among us, or Buffy being able to afford her clothes on a fast food worker's salary

Sunnydale has the best consignment shops what with the weekly butcher's bill.
It's true. Most of the vamps' victims were Buffy's size.
