Sad to hear. Personally I think I've only seen Mulholland Drive before, but long time ago. I enjoy surreal movies in general, so kind of weird I haven't seen more of Lynch's work. What personal favorites do other HNers have, of what he'd done?

Twin Peaks is the best TV show ever made

The first season is a masterpiece. Second season goes off the rails and loses direction fairly early on

Last few episodes are great again, and then we got Fire Walk With Me which is awesome. Also check out the feature-length The Missing Pieces composed of scenes cut from Fire Walk, if you haven't.

Frankly I find even the "bad" stretch of S2 better than more than half of allegedly-good TV, anyway.

I agree, although on rewatches I have fast-forwarded through a lot of the James scenes in S2.

James-hate is common even among the more devoted fans of the show, I think.

I think about the "Watching Twin Peaks" comic around 2/3 down that page pretty much every time he's on screen. "Ugh yes please go," indeed.

Oddly, I liked him in The Return.

I really only dislike his scenes with Evelyn to be honest, it's one of the few subplots that just bores the hell out of me.
