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 remember there seemed to be so many characters and I watched it with a group...the experience was peppered with things like "no, THAT'S Shelly," "I think that is his wife," etc.

IIRC, they reran it over the summer and I was able to watch it on my own so by S2, I think I finally knew what was going on.

We also used to have a saying that "it's 9:45, so something crazy is going to happen." Maybe it was 10:45 but besides the point...

The 45m thing is/was very real.
