With some days off and down time in SoCal coming up I started watching the Twin Peaks Gold Box DVD set, and plan on getting through at least one season over the next few weeks.

I initially watched the series on VHS about six years ago, being slightly behind the curve catching the original airings.

I watched the pilot episode last night and was amazed at the quality of picture and sound in this 10 disc set. They’re as razor sharp as Josie’s machine saw down at the mill.

I love the imagery, subtle humor, and style of Dale Cooper. His decent character and observations as an outsider are sly and hilarious, and creator David Lynch can create dialogue and meaning out of something as small as a raised eyebrow or pursed lip.

Between the Log Lady, Leland Palmer, apple pie, and David Duchovny as Dennis (or Denice,) I don’t know what show could be better on a cold winter nights.
