First of all, the above posting is all part of a hoax intended to get us
to believe that the 1/26 episode never happened. Well all of us who saw
the show know the truth. Unfortunately, I seemed to have recorded over
my tape and now I'm in need of a copy of the 1/26 episode! I would be
willing to trade for a copy of my newly released Japanese laserdisc
version of the Twin Peaks pilot, you know the one discussed here a week
ago - the 5 hour version that contains scenes never before seen in
either the US or European versions? You may remember that we discussed
the much longer dream/dwarf sequence and the early appearance of the
giant just before the scene with Mike and Bobby in jail, etc. This is
desperate!
