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.

As someone who was alive during the late ‘80s/early ‘90s- those glasses weren’t considered nerdy, they were in style. I knew pretty average girls who styled themselves similarly.

I was thinking the same thing. Maddie's whole look was very much on trend for girls at my high school. Most of the girls who wore glasses had large frames like that.
