I liked it too :-) Did you notice that futuristic glance to 2021 at the very end?

I really liked the finale. Makes me wonder what is gonna happen next season. Some people didn't like the way it ended with that little twist but I was okay with it - just curious about what's in store :-)
I recently wrote a letter to Dean Koontz and suggested he watch Fringe since he was such a big fan of the X-files mentioning it in his books and everything. Here was his response (with the words he underlined):
"Haven't watched Fringe, but then I've virtually no TV time these days."

I was really pissed about the spoiler about a beloved character dying. That scene with Olivia in the future was bullshit, a cheat. Other shows do that crap and that's why I hate them. I expect more from Fringe. It was still a good episode, they didn't need to resort to cheap tricks to get their audience to watch it.

That's too bad, as his writing might benefit from the inspiration he could receive from certain shows, such as Fringe. By the Light of the Moon and Midnight sort of read like Fringe episodes.

Yeah. I guess I'd have to agree. It was a good episode, but nobody actually ended up dying. What did you think about (view spoiler)

I recently watched the 2 episode finale of Supernatural. I really got a kick out of the role of H.P. Lovecraft in the story and that comment something to the effect that Lovecraft wrote real literature just like Dickens and Dean R. Koontz :-)

Yes, I enjoyed that too, even though it was obvious they were taking a jab at Koontz.

Just bought the Deluxe edition of TWIN PEAKS on DVD during my Borders Store Closing Excursion. I'm really excited to watch this!!!!! The Borders Bookseller said it was an honor to be the one that sold this to me as it was the only one :-)

I tried watching Twin Peaks last week by renting it from Netflix, but couldn't make it. I found it very boring and quit after the first episode. Afterward, I watched the movie that was released after the series was canceled, Fire Walk with Me, which fills in all the wholes and reveals the killer.

Did you like that movie even though you didn't finish the TV series? I may have to look for that after I watch the series. I'm saddened to hear that you couldn't finish the show and my excitement has been taken down a notch :-( Thanks a lot Jason!

Jason, same question as Dustin regarding the movie. Also, can it be watched as a standalone, being I didn't watch the series?

Consider it payback for your stated reaction to the announcement of my gift from Koontz. :-P No, I didn't like the movie either.

The movie was very bizarre--much more in line with Lynch's usual style than the first episode. It mostly made sense without having seen the series beyond the first episode, but isn't worth bothering with, in my opinion.

Now what's this about a gift from Koontz? I've obviously missed something.

Yes, it's from this thread: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3....






The fact that they're boring and moronic is real (with the exception of The Amazing Race, which teaches a lot about geography and many global cultures). ;-)

LMAO, I'm dying laughing here, and you're so right.

I am laughing too. I am glad I am not the only one that feels this way!

Good to hear. Someone had recommended it to me since I like The X-Files. I'm not familiar with David Lynch's work, but when "quirky" "strange" and "different" are used to describe Twin Peaks, I figure it must be right up my alley :-)

The only "reality show" I watch is American Idol. Fringe is my favorite "Alternate Reality Show".

Good one, you clever boy. I may have to steal this at some point.
