Dr. Jacoby's place in Twin Peaks - General Tiki

Note that Lynch and Frost originally wanted the murder to NEVER get solved. It was supposed to be an event to kick off bringing all of the characters together, and give the producers a reason to visit this town, its mysteries, its characters, and its intrigues. But the network (and viewers) pressured them to wrap up the murder mystery story. When Lynch and Frost did wrap it up, they found that they no longer had much to work with, and things got sort of weak towards the end of Season 2 - with the exception of the "Black Lodge" subplot(s). So, Season 2 is wildly uneven, with some truly amazing stuff, some of the best moments that Lynch ever put to film (Black Lodge in the final episode), some really, really, really embarassing material (Little Nicky subplot, Miss Twin Peaks, etc), and some complete wstes of time (James Hurley's solo adventure outside of town). The seasons are unbalanced - the first is only 7 episodes, and the second is 22. There are a few double-length episodes and the pilot also. As mentioned above, Season 2 is FINALLY coming out on DVD in April. As Kiliki says above, the prequel film ties it all up, but I'd watch it AFTER the end of Season 2, even though it takes place before Season 1, just because there are references to things that happen in Season 2 in the movie that you won't comprehend if you haven't seen Season 2. Fire Walk with Me is aong my favorite Lynch films, but it doesn't make a lick of sense if you haven't watched all 30 TP episodes. Tat's probably why it tanked at the box office. Before there were Tiki festivals, I attended a TP festival in Washington with a tour of all the filming sites and chow at the RR Diner. Some of the actors showed up too. Tiki fests are more fun. Better drinks. But we need pie at the next Oasis or Hukilau. mmm.... pie..... Oh, and Lynch's new, ultra-experimental, 3-hour long brand new moive INLAND EMPIRE is making the rounds of festivals right now. Watch for it in your local art cinema soon.
