    A few weeks ago I got interested in Twin Peaks since I saw a very small part of it as a kid and had no memory of it except for the fact that OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM so I decided to watch it. It's only two seasons and a prequel movie and the whole thing is great! The characters are bizzare and complex, There are a lot of out of nowhere fun as hell twists that actually make sense in this weird universe and it's just an all around a great watch. But the main thing is the amount of content this game tries to copy from it, probably more as a tribute but still some scenes even in the first episode of ER are so much more fun because you know what SWEARY tries to do there. And obviously you won't get any Twin Peaks references from Jeff that are half the fun. So c'mon! Watch a good show to enjoy another show more!

    Yeah, having seen Twin Peaks before playing/watching this DP ER will help a lot. At the least it'll get one in the right frame of mind to enjoy the game's ridiculousness. I watched Twin Peaks after beating Deadly Premonition and saw a ton of similarities. Even the moving deer head in the background of the pause menu has meaning, but  you wouldn't get that if you haven't seen the show.

    @Abyssfull: The P4 endurance run made the P4 boards skyrocket to the most popular, so I'd expect the same of the DP boards now with the new ER.

    It's probably worthwhile to mention that CBS has all of the episodes of Twin Peaks up on their site free to watch. They don't have the pilot episode though, and that's almost mandatory so you'll know who the characters are. You can find the pilot on Youtube.

    Nah, I'm not too into the idea of watching something to be able to appreciate another thing more.  Even if the whole thing's just one big tribute, I'm not gonna watch Twin Peaks to get the numerous references.

    Just started watching the show, and yes, it is great. So far Log Lady is my favourite, after Cooper of course.

    I just started watching the first episode of Twin Peaks. Holy crap, DP seems like a straight up homage.

    I endorse this statement. 
    And you should also watch Twin Peaks because it is one of the funniest shows ever made. 
    Im pretty sure the guy who plays James in Twin Peaks only has one fixe expression throughout the show

    If you don't have time for Twin Peaks, you could always watch "Blue Velvet" instead. Blue Velvet is the original film that the series was based on and directed by the same David Lynch.

    James? What about Leo? The scene in the pilot where he's all pissed off at Shelley over the cigarette butts is amazing. "I smoke these. What are these doing here?" Comedic gold.
     
    Regardless of what anyone thinks of Deadly Premonition (it's fucking awesome), everyone should watch Twin Peaks. That show is amazing and it has the best series finale ever. Also, David Duchovny plays a transvestite FBI agent.

    Youtube only has 8/9 parts to the pilot. I just watched the first 8 parts and now I'm really pissed that I can't finish it. Anyone know if any other sites have the pilot? Maybe I'll just look up the last part on wikipedia or something. =/

    @Apathylad and Trilogy: See my post. 
     
    @Dis: They're not really similar. Blue Velvet wasn't the inspiration for Twin Peaks, it just also happens to star Kyle MacLachan and Jack Nance. The only similarity is that David Lynch is responsible for both. That being said, Blue Velvet's still a pretty good film that you should watch.

    I just started watching it last night because of the ER and I like it so far. Agent Cooper is a character and does kida remind me of York.

    Like Ryan said, I would also recommend watching at least the first season of TP before watching the end of DP, because that way you don't have to think at DP all the time you watch TP (sounds stupid, but at a certain point you might get the impression that TP would be ripping off, not the other way around).

    I just started Twin Peaks last night and I love it so far. Got through 7 episodes. Seems both really weird and really real in ways that a lot of shows today aren't. I wish they still made shit like this.

    Twin Peaks is a amazing show. After you rap up the whole who killed Laura Palmer plot line the show does kind of become flat and miss guided. but still it's one of the best damn shows i have ever seen

    I'm gonna start watching the episodes on CBS.com.
     
    I may hold off on the ER until I finish... although the odds of that happening are slim to none.
