Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks

   Sorry if I sounded flamey in my criticism of the Diane...it is now 1.17pm
articles, but there have been some articles posted in code(eg in rec.humour) -
and this gets a bit annoying at times.  I have had mail from people all over
the planet and beyond explaining about the sound files and there may be a way
for me to use them so thanks.

    As for those people who decided to flame back - remember that everyone has
to start somewhere and as I admitted - I really don't know that much about the
systems at all.  So please contain the flames as alt.tv.twin peaks is too good
a newsgroup to be spoiled by such things.

    Now onto the giant - I think it was shown throughout the series that the
giant was a helpful and good being.  His presence in the final scenes of the
TP final adds weight to the theory that both the black lodge and white lodge
were shown.  Maddy was also in the lodge but I don't recall her ever having any
evil motives - she was just another victim(as was the old man) of Bob's evil
deeds.

    It's been a few weeks since the series ended here in Australia and I'm
really missing it at the moment - I miss those classiclines, those great
characters, and the enthralling story *sob*.  I just miss Twin Peaks in
general.  So I am really glad and appreciative that this newsgroup is still
going so strongly.  It's great to see a newsgroup full of "thinkers" who are
all interested in the great series.  So - keep up the cool postings.

    Some people out there have been hastling the second series quite a bit.  I
think this was a pretty popular thing to do at the time, but I don't think it
is justified at all.  The way I see it, the first series was a lot more
constructed in terms of plot while in the second series David let himself go a
bit more into the creative side.  I must agree though that the first and second
series should definately be separated.  I think the reason people first hastled
the second series is because they had just come off from the "high" of the
first series ending only to begin again it seemed in the second series.  Just
an opinion though...

    Is it definate about the 3rd series?  I think I had read that somewhere.  I
would love it if someone would confirm this.  I also think it's about time TV
stations stopped worrying about ratings ALL the time and started worrying more
about the quality of TV in general.  If this were so, then TP would still be
running and probably would continue so for a long time.

Disclaimer..My opinion is that people are too opinionated about opinions and
            offer unnecessary opinions on who's opinions they actually are...
            but that's just my opinion...
