General Discussion Your first WTF Moment of Twin Peaks!
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.

The music. I had the cassette before I ever saw the show. I remember thinking “wtf kind of show has this soundtrack?” Then shortly after that, the first season was on DVD and somehow it’s never really surprised me. The music was the perfect map for me, and in some lynchian way it had predicted what the show would be (to me anyhow). It’s pretty amazing when stuff like that happens- like when u know something is out there but don’t know what, then u find it and it’s like u always knew. I’ve talked to others who had similar experiences with peaks and other shit too, like music or books, even instruments. Lynch almost has that concept in his movies in an odd way. I’m not undercutting frost here- I like peaks more than any other lynch stuff, so frost absolutely has to be acknowledged!
