nor did I watch "Fire Walk With Me" - did the latter impact this new series at all?
Apparently Fire Walk With Me is important to the new series.
Agent Jeffers that Black Lodge Dale asked if he was talking to, and who was mentioned in the interrogation with Albert and Gordon Cole
was
an agent played by David Bowie.
I saw Fire Walk with Me and I remember almost nothing. I guess it's time for a rewatch.
I watched the first ep before bed last night and could not sleep. It hit some of my
primal fear areas, especially those shots of driving in the woods, lit only by car lights.
And that
weird demon in the glass box. Ahhhhh
!
Also, I would say the ending of the series is important in that
the opening of first episode of this series has a lot of callbacks to the last episode.
I did not care for Fire Walk With Me, but I think it is important, as well as the show's final episode.
Also if I do not see
Audrey Horne
soon, I think I will go out of my mind!
It's a shame Frank Silva is no longer with us. I can't imagine that they'll be able to find anyone who can bring that level of creepiness, particularly with Crispin Glover already committed to American Gods.
I
love
Fire Walk With Me
though it was a huge flop when it came out because everybody expected it to complete the cliffhangers of the series.
For me, though, it was like when you re-watch Buffy and you have this sense of tragedy hanging over the characters who die. You know Laura Palmer is going to die and it's so weighty and strange and sad.
I'm two episodes in and I'm loving it. Although, much like attending a Poi Dog Pondering concert, it reminds me how much my peer group has aged.

Oh man. I loved Poi Dog Pondering at uni.
I could not hang with Fire Walk With Me. I remember thinking that all the quirk and humor that I loved in the show was not present in the movie at all. I'm so not good with jumpy-outy horror stuff, so I'm probably not the best reviewer.
But being a mad fan of Micheal J. Anderson (especially on Picket Fences), I could not NOT watch it.
eta: Oh my. Just googled M J A and discovered that the cheese seems to have slipped off his cracker since the Picket Fences day, which is why he is not in the TPeaks reboot.
Sad now.
When I watch American Gods - I feel like I'm in a fever dream.
Speaking of dreams, I watched episodes 2–4 of the new Twin Peaks last night. I went to bed thinking about it and drifted seamlessly into dreams. When I woke up it was really hard to figure out where my memories of the show stopped and the dreams began.
