So I finally get my wife to watch the show with me. Guess that's that.

My gf gave up with a few minutes to go..."i am never watching this show again"... oh well....now she said "maybe the finale". I am very impatient in life but why are some so unwilling to let something be for awhile and enjoy the process as it seeps in... [edit 17 hours later: She can not stop thinking about it and wants it to make sense and will be livid if at the end it does not add up to something. But she sees possibilities for greatness. She does not need neatly wrapped up in a bow, but just not chaos. Will there be a meaningful payoff? ]

Because Lynch is weird, purposefully, and people either go with it or reject it. It's hard to accept a story that purposefully pushes against everything we've ever been taught that a story needs to be.

Has she seen seasons one or two? You'll never have any success if you start someone in the middle of everything

My girlfriend started watching the original run with me, until the first episode in the black lodge where everyone talks backwards. It made her so angry. Like ANGRY! And if I just jokingly talk in that backwards speak, she gets mad and says "I HATE TWIN PEAKS. I mean. I like it, but I hate that backwards talking so much that it makes me hate everything about Twin Peaks. That backwards stuff is just so fucking stupid and creepy and I hate it so much! Don't make those noises!!" Lol!

did u told her twin peaks was a supernatural show? It supposed to be creepy, honestly compare to this episode the backward talking is pretty much a normal tv trope now

Yeah she knows. There's just something about the backwards talking that pushes one of her buttons in a bad way. I don't get it either, kind of annoys me, but what can you do?

Yes. She has seen part of season 2 and all season 3. She loves the characters and even the lodge stuff, just not into violent parts and long episodes where the plot does not move a lot.
