#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Well Pete is ok, but if memory serves he was mainly involved in the Josie and Catherine stories. They dragged him down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 True, but he had many great little moments. I'd agree about the other two though (except Catherine dancing with a grief-stricken Leland, that was awesome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,518 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Pete was a fantastic character, and an integral part of the David Lynch style (Jack Nance -- as most of you know -- was a recurrent actor in most of Lynch's films untill his untimely death). He seemed to be "crazier", the longer into the series you went. Which I absolutely loved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 While the actor who plays Pete is good and Pete is a typical Lynch figure, he was still very much a part of the weak and soapy Sawmill story with Josie and Catherine. I don't understand the love. Steef is right. They dragged him down. He never truly soared. The Sawmill characters didn't do the series much good.

Romão 2,274 Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Those little Pete moments are pretty much an integral part of the appeal and peculiar tone of Twin Peaks. The show would've been weaker without him. It's not so much about his importance in the grand scheme of things Barnald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,518 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Indeed. Jack Nance is what Richard Dreyfuss and Tom Hanks (and now also Mark Rylance) are to Steven Spielberg -- the 'alter ego' in the films. The one belongs to the other. It's a shame about Nance's tragic death; I'm certain Lynch had Nance in mind (as inspiration) when he wrote THE STRAIGHT STORY. He would have been perfect in that role.

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Wasn't there a scene around the table where they were in stitches about the breakfast face? I loved that. I liked that it showed history in one small incidental moment between those two blokes, who were evidently very old friends. I've always been one for little details in dialogue, I've always appreciated that extra embellishment in anything tv and film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,518 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I don't know about the breakfast scene, but I recommend the 2002 documentary I DON'T KNOW JACK. The whole thing is on Youtube: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a breakfast scene between Lynch and Nance's characters at the diner or something? It's been ages since I saw the series, so details like that have escaped my memory, sorry.

A24 4,345 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Still, I love to buy the blu-ray and get 18 episodes for the price of one season. You really think Lynch is not going to meet Golden Age standards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Has there ever been a Golden Age quality series of 18 episodes in a season? The original Twin Peaks was the best thing on TV a the time, but wildly uneven. Do you think Lynch is more consistent now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,372 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The offiicial word was that while they filmed 18 episodes at once, it will be aired as two 9-episode seasons, in 2017 and 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 That is quite irrelevant. The quality of Golden Age TV can be directly attributed to less episodes per season. So more time to polish script, rehearsal time, shooting time etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,345 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 But, Steef, they finished 18 episodes. The quality won't change by splitting them into 2 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until “Who Killed Laura Palmer?” I was with it 100 percent, and then it drifted away. […] We had a little goose that was laying golden eggs, and they told us to snip its head off. But it’s a great world, the world of Twin Peaks, and it holds many possibilities.Via http://welcometotwinpeaks.com/news/david-lynch-true-detective-ronnie-rocket-kanye-west/#ixzz49aPByHs0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I agree with the last part of his statement, that they world they created was filled with possibilities. But what were they going to do, not solve the Palmer murder? Just keep milking it? The problem was not that they ended one story, but that they never came up with another one. It floundered around until the last couple of episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Not entirely true. The series eventually came up with the Windham Earle storyline, and things did pick up a bit. But the middle part of season 2 seriously wrecks it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I think the original plan was to make the actual Palmer case gradually fade into the background as an ongoing enigma while slowly digging deeper and deeper into the more abstract and nutty lore of the town and probably the eventual battle between good and evil.
