I've only been in Twin Peaks a short time but in that time I have seen decency, honor and dignity....life has meaning here, every life. That's a way of living I thought had vanished from the Earth but it hasn't....its right here in Twin Peaks.
Twin Peaks 1x04 Rest in Pain
Well, perhaps I've been down here with them for too long. There's seemingly nothing but chaos. But not all bad comes from it. Art. Hope. Love. Dreams. [But those are human things.] Yes.
Supernatural 10x01 Black

Maybe it’s just me but I find it intriguing that Twin Peaks’ opening credits focus a lot on the sawmill and then on the falls. Like I can't help but think about "Fire walk with me" and the water; Laura was found near it. Like I don't know and considering Lynch doesn't do things by chance or accident. Like even if we're not supposed to understand ? But idk I feel we could find something about this. But again, maybe it’s just me.

3. Fleabag
4. Mad Men
5. The X-Files
who is your favorite character in 2?
Because I’m incapable of picking just one lol my faves are Tony Soprano, Carmela Soprano, Silvio Dante, and Dr. Melfi. The Sopranos does a great job of making you love and despise all of its characters lmao
who is your least favorite character in 1?
Leo Johnson and Hank Jennings, also really don’t care for John Justice Wheeler. Literally had to look up John Justice Wheeler’s name for this because I forgot lol, he’s so irrelevant
what is your favorite episode of 4?
Mad Men: Season 1 Ep. 13 “The Wheel” / Season 3 Ep. 13 “Shut the door. Have a Seat” / Season 6 Ep. 8 “The Crash.” There’s sooooo many good ones
what is your favorite season of 5?
Season 1, Seasons 3 & 5 have a lot of my fave episodes as well
who is your favorite couple in 3?
Fleabag x The Priest 💔
who is your favorite couple in 2?
None, they’re all in unhealthy relationships
what is your favorite episode of 1?
Twin Peaks: 1x01 “Pilot” / 1x03 “Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer” / 1x04 “Rest in Pain” / honestly the entire first season / 2x15 “Lonely Souls” / 2x17 “Arbitrary Law” / 2x30 “Beyond Life and Death / 3x03 / 3x08 / 3x16 - so basically most of the same ones! 😊

X-Files: 1x01 “Pilot” / 1x02 “Deep Throat” / 1x04 “Conduit” / 3x04 “Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" / 4x10 “Paper Hearts” / 5x12 “Bad Blood”
what is your favorite season of 2?
All of them are perfect. Season 4 lacks a bit, but other than that I love them all pretty equally
how long have you watched 1?
Since 2014 and my life has never been the same (in the best way possible)
how did you become interested in 3?
My bf’s sister recommended it to me
who is your favorite actor in 4?
Jon Hamm
which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?
1 - Twin Peaks hits me emotionally like no other show - it’s indescribable
which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
Twin Peaks because there’s more episodes
if you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
Roger Sterling
would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?
Probably not, but I’d love to see it anyway
pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple?
Dr. Jacoby and Nadine
overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?
3 (Fleabag) djshfsjhfkdhj but I love The X-Files’ storyline too
which has better theme music, 2 or 4?
I love both of the theme songs for these shows, they fit perfectly. So both!
I tag: @byrnedavid @sybbie-crawley @cinesolo @cillianmurphy if you want to!
