You're referring to Laura in the Black Lodge when she says, "I'll see you again in 25 years." The show aired in 1990 so 25 years would be 2015. There has been speculation over the years that a new series or movie would be done at that time but it doesn't sound like Lynch is all that interested in revisiting the series.

"FIRE WALKS WITH ME" actually follows the series as there is dialoug that explains the plot is jumping forward and backward in time. I understand that the film is also much much longer in the original cut with most of the tv cast in it.

Oh, and the soundtrack is really good, too. I also bought a Julee Cruise (she was the singer in the ...truckstop/diner?) CD which is ...... OK. It has a few good songs.

Right you are. I need to get that again, we wore our cassette of it out.

Finished up the special features this morning and it goes into great detail about the fate of the show. Certainly the fact that both creators, Lynch and Mark Frost, got involved in movie projects hurt. Lynch made Wild At Heart and Frost the criminally underrated Storyville. But according to nearly everyone involved with the show, the biggest blow came when they were forced to reveal Laura's killer and they didn't really have anything to replace that core mystery with so it sort of lost its way for a few episodes. The end of the final season, despite my misgivings about The Black Lodge, actually kind of recaptured the initial magic but by then the show was done for and we are left with a myriad of cliffhangers.
On a side note, I highly recommend reading Frost's two books with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the protagonist: The List of 7 & The 6 Messiahs.

Never watched it when it came out, (I was like 9 or 10 years old!). Want to watch it now. I've heard it's interesting and creative. Is it worth the investment of buying the box set?

Well, at $99 it's relatively inexpensive for an entire series, but it is only 2 seasons. I'd say that it's worth it, but ....... I haven't bought it yet myself (but I will). If you're unsure, maybe rent the first couple of discs and see what you think.

If you've never seen it rent it first. You may really dig the first season but hate the second. Or maybe not like how it ends and be pissed you spent $90 on something you'll never watch again.

I got all excited then, but this is like the LOST episodes on ABC's website; unavailable outside the US. :mad:
