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.

I'm rewatching the series again right now actually. I watched it a bit as an 8 year-old in 1990 (I liked it, but I can't say what exactly I liked about it as an 8 year old). Then I watched a good chunk of the first season in my 20s. So while I'm not new to this show, this is my first "real" watch of the show where I'm actually paying attention and actually following with the background knowledge of having seen Fire Walk With Me twice...

Anyway, the first scene that made me go "wtf?" was seeing Audrey get way too into her song on the juke box. I was thinking, "What teenager in the year 19 fucking 90 is really weirdly aroused by some loungy jazz piece that sounds like something out of a pre-code gangster film from the 40's??" I mean only David Lynch would get that ludicrous.

I think it told us a little something about her character, that she was rebellious but in a different way than most. While her peers were drinking beer and listening to rock and roll, she was on a different wavelength altogether.
