Product Description
Import from the Netherlands, which plays in English. Soundtracks: English, German, Italian, Spanish. Pilot + Episodes 1-7:
From Mark Frost and three-time Academy Award nominee David Lynch (Wild at Heart, Blue Velvet and The Elephant Man), the wildly imaginative, darkly comic mystery-thriller series that became one of the most acclaimed events in television history, Twin Peaks.
After the brutal killing of Twin Peaks' homecoming queen Laura Palmer, Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) discovers the small town is seething with deadly secrets and killer cherry pie. Then, Cooper interprets an unusual dream about the murder, has tea with the log lady, finds a macabre crime scene in the woods and is determined to solve the mystery.
Season 2: The hunt for the killer of Twin Peaks homecoming queen Laura Palmer turns ugly for Special Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan), who comes under investigation when he is suspended from the FBI for his unauthorized raid on the One-Eyed Jacks casino. Shot by a mysterious assailant upon returning to the Great Northern Hotel, he survives the attack... and receives some bizarre clues about Laura's murder from a giant that suddenly materializes during his recuperation. A fire at the mill leaves several residents - and possible suspects - missing. With help from Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), Cooper attempts to decipher the secrey of the Black Lodge... an undertaking that may release its sinister revelations just as the town is preparing for its festive "Miss Twin Peaks" contest. And Laura Palmer's secret diary is uncovered... containing details best read over a steaming hot cup o' joe.
DELICIOUSLY WEIRD! THE BEST TELEVISION - EVER!!!
Review date: 2008-03-27 Rating: 10 out of 10
Sure, everyone has his/hers favorite TV shows, and preferences shift with seasonal mood, age and experiences. However, THIS IS TELEVISION AT HER BEST! The frivolity of the 80's gave way to the seriousness of the 90's - all painted in 50's Americana nostalgia of innocence lost.
Atmospheric, mysterious, intriguing, smart,...Words are just not capable to describe this prematurely terminated series! Every time I watch it I discover another moment, another gem I treasure. Too bad the network executives decided to, first, meddle with the plot and, when this backfired, they treated this masterpiece as filler material. No wonder ratings floundered resulting in the series eventual cancellation.
True, the 25 years are not up yet. However, I think that Agent Cooper has remained trapped in the Waiting Area long enough. Let's all petition David Lynch for a long-awaited movie or TV mini-series to tidy things up.
This particular BoxSet is everything Season 2 was not: excellent picture and sound quality AND all the missing Extras! Commercials, trailers and product spin-offs...However, note that the **movie** TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME is NOT included as proclaimed in the title.
My advice: if you already own Season 1, sell it, avoid Season 2, and buy this one.
Own it and make weekends out of it. Once in a blue moon a certain magic manifests amongst us. One that never fades.
And there is always music in the air.
How do I know? A gentle giant told me.

The owls are not what they seem.....

I agree with the previous review the description of this boxset is very misleading. 'Fire walk with me' was the prequel movie made AFTER the second series - apparently from the ideas that would have been the third series before the "stoopid" studio management decided to can the project (are they the same stupid team who canned Firefly too?).
This collection includes both the US and international pilots. If you want 'Fire walk with me' its still available as a seperate release on dvd.
The box set is brilliant and is the same as the definitive box set listed as far as I can tell. The series kicked started the type of television series being made now - lost, heroes, x files, 24 et al. It was revolutionary and deserves a high place of honour in tv history.
Buy this set and the Fire Walk With Me film and see what all the hype was about. Well crafted, well surreal entertaining tv with plots, subplots, superb characters (including the Log lady) and dare I say it - damn fine coffee. Watch out for the cherry stalk bit - very sexy. Long Live Laura Palmer....

The description of this boxset is misleading. 'Fire walk with me' was NOT the title of the pilot episode, it was a prequel movie made AFTER the second series.
This collection DOES include the series pilot, but the movie 'Fire walk with me' is still only available as a seperate release.
