Okay so I downloaded Twin Peaks...

Seasons 1 (7 episodes) and 2 (22 episodes).
 
Is there anything i should know before i start watching the videos? 
 
Besides the fact that the videos are square... and my tv isn't a fucking square.

Where did you download them?  I know that CBS has a couple of episodes on CBS.com, but I don't know where to get them all legally.  

The whole series except the pilot and movie is available on CBS.com and Fancast.com. Watch them there, legally.... if you're a North American resident.

I actually "obtained" them. Which i guess isn't so bad if they're available online.

Guys, i found a site that managed to somehow get embedded versions of every twin peaks ep off the CBS servers, i dont know how,  but they did, so heres the link.

 i know this is borderline against the rules, but they arent hosting anything on that site, you can clearly tell they just managed to embed the videos from CBS somehow. sadly it is only available to people in the US though.

I've looked under the main site for a week or so.  It has been two episodes and a clip since then.    Are you talking under the classic shows tab?  I haven't checked fandango.com "

l have been watching them on CBS as well.  I started way before they even talked about DP and it is pretty fantastic. I want the box set but it's 80 bucks. One day

The only thing that I'll say is that you should watch the pilot episode first. The pilot episode has never been available on VHS or DVD until recently. There was a video labeled "pilot episode" that was released back in the day, but it wasn't the original one that aired on ABC. It was pretty much the same thing, but the last 15 minutes or so were changed for reasons that are way too complicated to explain here. 
 
So yeah, find the original 2 hour broadcast pilot episode and you should be good to go. (Actually, it's a bit shorter than two hours what with commercial breaks and all, but you get the idea.)

I will say, if you actually have qualms, or a slow connection, just about anything can be found, legally for free from your local library.  Ive asked for stuff so obscure ( the witcher books recently ) they actually did not have a copy, but then they went out of their way to BUY IT, so I could get it on loan.  Its pretty much the same for DVD's, at worst you have to wait a day or two for them to ship it, because it isn't at your location.

Get ready to wish there was a 3rd season.

Don't marathon it.  The weird-factor will lose any impact and then you're just watching some satire (I think?) of a soap opera that's a bit too good at it's job.

It's like they made Deadly Premonition into a TV show! Oh... wait...
 
Seriously though, the similarities in the first 5 minutes of the first episode almost make me wonder (not seriously) if I'll see any actual spoilers for the game by watching this.
 
Dude's a lot more of a ladies man than York, that's for sure.

I've decided that my Giantbomb blog will be of Twin Peaks episodes.

 
 
If you like Noir mysteries, then you will like this a lot.  Ever wonder where The Sopranos got there dream sequences?   Ready to get hit by some massive nostalgia  bombs, when you realize what that Simpsons episode was a parodie of?  Ever wonder why Stoya Heat acts the way she does?

tv.com has all the episodes and if you were to search for "who killed Laura palmer on goodle you fine the pilot too

David Lynch sure is a kook. Pretentious, sure. But at least his later work was good.

I dont think thats true at all ...the show gets so completely whacked out during the 2nd season its hard not to go "WHAT THE HELL AM I WATCHING?!?"(in a good way of course)  i cant wait to see peoples reactions once they get to the eps that have  David Duchovny in them. "

  So, yeah...  The Owls aren't what they seem.
 
Really great stuff.  Thoe, i don't recommend watching the movie or the second half of season 2 in a hurry.  Something happened behind the scenes and Lynch left.  So basically, once the killer/s is found, you've seen all there is to really see.    Surprisingly good for a TV show. 
 
Also, use this.  It's a list of Twin Peaks episodes.  Just in case you think you might be watching them out of order.  In the first season, each episode starts with a summery of the previous.  So you should know if you missed one.  But  season two doesn't have those.  SO you might want to check the episode title.  You don't want to watch them out of order.  Lastly Have fun.  Twin Peaks is a really good series that sadly died young.  Afterwards you will differently think of the ERs differently.

Great freaking series.  I first bought the series on video (!) when it came out, and a couple of years ago, my wife bought me the complete DVD box set.   You should get it. 

Fancast for me will just stay at the loading screen forever. 
 
But just download Hotspot Shield to get it working.

Anything you should know? Dude it's just a TV show, they usually don't need preparation. Just watch it and see what you think :P.
