After that, the show begins to improve again. I recall that the network had little faith in the show and that the Gulf War was causing a lot of grief at the time. The time slot was as fluid as the cherry juice in one of those damned fine Double R pies. <br /><br />Without knowledge of those things, I would still find it fascinating to watch that portion of Twin Peaks, since the wheels come so thoroughly off of the wagon. I can think of few shows that could have recovered from such a dramatic fall. If they added the Great Gazoo, Twin Peaks would have been better than what it was.<br /> <br />Still, Twin Peaks managed to latch onto that otherwordly zeitgeist that propelled the early seasons of The X-Files: heady stuff indeed, and perfect storytelling for that time. I have no idea if it will work today, though. Judging by X-Files Season X, I would say no. Twin Peaks is not The X-Files, though.
