and given that the writing is pretty much on the wall for HBO to do this with HBO GO at some point, i would expect them to follow suit

Twin peaks is back and praise moses its not on Netflix Moviesnob Oct 06, 08:39

this would have been a dream writing job but it's also cool that they're letting Frost/Lynch go solo on it {nm} charlie Oct 06, 09:51

Hmmm.... I loved the original series. Do we really need to revisit this? Not so sure {nm} numbersix_99 Oct 06, 09:00

its also the first scripted narrative from lynch in 8 years, and the last movie was fantastic IMO {nm} Moviesnob Oct 06, 09:36

plus, it gives them a good excuse to keep Moira Kelly as Donna instead LFB {nm} charlie Oct 06, 10:39

considering every storyline was left up in the air in the finale . . . charlie Oct 06, 09:50

Nope, not every storyline, just the main one. And ending on an ambiguity made the show even better. numbersix_99 Oct 06, 10:38

the bank blew up and we have no idea who lived/died, just off the top of my head. and they were prepared to do a third season charlie Oct 06, 10:42

Wait, (spoiler) Moviesnob Oct 06, 10:48

otoh, i think the odds of Pete making it out . . . charlie Oct 06, 11:02

Yeah, but did you read some of the ideas for Season 3? They were awful. Ending like they did was a happy accident... numbersix_99 Oct 06, 10:58

well they can do anything with it now, so it'll be fine charlie Oct 06, 11:01

What is positive is that it looks like a 9-part mini-series, so may not run on beyond its welcome numbersix_99 Oct 06, 15:07

How is Showtime better than Netflix? No matter how you look at it, it's a worse value ($$$) for viewers. {nm} BSmurf Oct 06, 10:10

i'm kinda down on netflix b/c of its effect on the industry as a whole. They've shrunk the whiole pie and thats bad for movies in general Moviesnob Oct 06, 10:16

Please provide Stats that Verify that the Industry Pie has Shrunk. {nm} RotoHockeyYTD2014 Oct 06, 10:37
