After 20+ years of withholding, I’m finally watching Twin Peaks for the first time. I know, I know, this is precisely the kind of show I of all people should have seen a hundred times and be obsessed with, and of course now that I’m watching it I am obsessed with it.
But, oddly enough considering the world of the show itself, the time just never felt right. I’ve had the video files for over a year, and I’d occasionally think, “Should I watch Twin Peaks now?” and the answer was always, “No.”
Then, the other night, I had a dream about Twin Peaks, or rather, my brain’s approximation of Twin Peaks based off of the few stills and clips I’ve seen. And I woke up, and I thought, “Now is the time to watch.” Of course, seeing that the driving action of the first season (which I just finished…22 episodes of the second season to go…I’m kvelling!) is motivated largely by Agent Cooper’s dreams, the fact that I was motivated by a dream to watch the show is almost eerie in its appropriateness.
Anyway. Loving it. Best thing. Ever.
