I've started to watch Twin Peaks since I'm watching both endurance runs. I knew Deadly Premonition was similar to the show, from what Ryan has said, but I didn't know it was almost the same. Watching Twin Peaks now, great show btw, I realize how much the creators of Deadly Premonition loved the series. Has anyone else picked up Twin Peaks because of the endurance run?
Deadly Premonition
Game » consists of 11 releases. Released Feb 23, 2010
An open-world action-adventure game following an eccentric FBI agent as he investigates a series of bizarre murders in the small rural town of Greenvale.
Who here has started to watch Twin Peaks?
Indeedly. I've just...
all the episodes.
Saw it before Deadly Premonition, it used to be on Chiller before episodes of another show I really liked re-watching from the 90s Millennium (also starring Lance Henriksen).
after having my first encounter with david lynch when i watched mullholland drive a few months ago, i was more tempted in watching more of his stuff, naturally.
then, among the talk of twin peaks on the podcast and the endurance run, i watched the pilot online and fell in love and am knee deep in the twin peaks gold box edition or whatever it's called. i don't think i've ever loved and been fascinated with a TV show so much before twin peaks. truly one of the greatest TV shows ever
Watched a little more than half the pilot. Honestly if the show just showed Cooper all the time, I would like it on equal level as Deadly Premonition. So far though, I can root for York a bit more than Cooper.
Man, I haven't watched Twin Peaks in a few years, but watching the Endurance Run on Deadly Premonition has given me the urge to revisit the show. Twin Peaks is excellent, but I'm almost positive that Alan Wake will be a better Twin Peaks: The Videogame. The best thing Deadly Premonition does unwittingly that garners it a good comparison to being a videogame version of Twin Peaks is the low-budget gameplay of it all. Twin Peaks wasn't necessarily an obviously low-budget film, but whenever something interesting went wrong on the set, Lynch would try adding it to the scene instead of fixing it. For instance, during the beginning episodes of the show when Cooper visits the morgue, the overhead lights flicker and the mortician apologizes. Stylistically, it adds to the mood and atmosphere of the scene, but in reality, during production the lights had started going out like that and Lynch said rather than replace them to just let them complement the scene.
I watched the series again for the first time in years and was shocked to see agent Mulder in drag... I didn't know who David was back then lol. York is a funny agent, but I think I will always like Cooper more. The series is fantastic the only problem I have with it is that the last episode is a huge cliff hanger and they canceled the show after it so we will never know what was supposed to happen. The guy that plays Dale still looks the same, I say they need to start up the show again Lol. To bad that Ernest guy died...

I've started. I have only been watching it before I go to sleep though and I have fallen asleep a couple times during the pilot. I'll probably just have to rewatch the whole episode at this point.
I watched the first episode but I'm not really sure if I wanna keep watching it. It's one of those things that, in my opinion, doesn't age too well.
I watched the first season after Ryan was talking about it on the bombcast well before the endurance run. I enjoyed it and will probably check out the 2nd season and movie eventually. Freaking weird show, man. But that's David Lynch for you.
I had only heard of Twin Peaks before the ER (a detective trying to solve a murder in a backwoods town? Sounds kinda boring...) but now I've seen the whole series and holy shit I wish they still made TV like this. So crazy. Too bad the series ended the way it did, change the last 15 minutes a little and shit could have been settled quite handily. But then again that wouldn't be Lynch.
Totally bought the Definitive Gold Box Edition, and I am totally loving it. Just watched episode 2 and man:
"GOOD LORD
Indeedly. I've just...
all the episodes. "ILLEGALLY DOWNLOADED!!
Man, Twin Peaks has aged a lot better than most of you are saying it has. It works the same way it did when it first aired. Everything from the colors and cinematography to the music emulated a period earlier than the time when it aired. Go watch Mulholland Drive.
Also, Agent Cooper was my hero when I was in middle school. I'd say that he probably beats out Mulder as my favorite fictional FBI agent.
" Totally bought the Definitive Gold Box Edition, and I am totally loving it. Just watched episode 2 and man:You mean like a midget?"That little person can dance!
I've always wanted to see it but I didn't do it until Deadly Premonition.. some parts became hiiiiiilarious, when they weren't really intended as such, because of the game. Anyway, great show.
