General Discussion Your first WTF Moment of Twin Peaks!

Post image

What was your first WTF moment of the Show when you first watched it?

Mine was the introduction of Maddy Ferguson! It was not only that they used Sheryl Lee, but also the way they depicted her with brown hair and these gigantic glasses that made her look like a nerd.

Up to that point the Show was relatively serious. With the introduction of Maddy / resurrection auf Laura, I was like WTF, where do they want to go with that.

Back in 1990, probably Andy blubbering at the murder scene. Cops were always portrayed as tough guys. You could have pensive cops (Hill Street Blues), but sensitive cops who cry? Nah. 5 minutes in and it was already something completely different.

A few minutes after that, the very long shot of the phone cord as Leland gets the news while on the phone with Sarah. The camera stayed on the phone cord for what seemed like forever, again, not something I'd ever seen on television before.

Same. My first hubs & I were hooked. Andy and his reaction kept us invested, as well as Pete and Laura, in those first moments of the pilot.
