ALIAS premier tonight too! I read over at Ain't It Cool that they've added a couple of writers from "Angel".
Love both Lost and Alias. I will be a couch potato tonight that's for sure. I watched the finale from last season of Alias again last night so I'm primed for something really good this season. And I've been waiting for a couple or three weeks or whatever it's been on a new Lost episode.

In no friggin' way! TWIN PEAKS just starting spinning its wheels in the final season. It started out well, but kept adding loose ends instead of tying them up into a viable conclusion or towards a conclusion. LOST is doing the same thing, but their loose ends are tying together...so far (keeping fingers crossed).
On a separate note: I own virtually everything on TWIN PEAKS--DVDs, VHS tapes, books, etc. So you can count me as a TWIN PEAKS geek too. The TWIN PEAKS conventions materialized early in the series and petered out after its cancellation.
BTW: I'm also a convention geek too. Especially STAR TREK cons.
Maybe we should just call you a geek.
I'm with you on the TP; I still rank the first season as one of the best things
I've seen on tv, but it lost direction, while still being entertaining, during the last two seasons. I despised both the finale and Fire Walk With Me.

I had to also buy the 2-hour premiere separately, but that alters the ending and tries to wrap it up at the end of 2 hours. I don't remember the actual finale to the series, but "Fire Walk With Me" was abysmal.

The middle section of the series did lose some steam but I think that's because Lynch went off and did "Wild at Heart". When he came back though for the last couple episodes it started getting good again.
And I for one love the movie.

The two hour premiere you're talking about was the t.v. movie version which aired in Europe. If you want a copy of the original pilot episode I have it on DVD. It's an import from Hong Kong but it looks and sounds better than any other version I've seen. It's Region free and NTSC so any U.S. DVD player can play it.

Yet another reason to get together. Do you have the series, too?

Speaking of LOST, for some reason I didn't watch the whole episode prior to last nights... which site is best for getting a more detailed recap?
Regarding Twin Peaks: I don't have the show on DVD, but have most, if not all of the books and the orignal issues of "Wrapped in Plastic." I also had cherry pie at the diner featured in the show. It was a real trip. I, too, could be considered a Twin Peaks geek, or at least at one time.

This is the only one I've ever seen.

But I believe all the episodes in December were re-runs. So if the one you saw before this focused on Claire (no spoilers!), then I don't think you missed anything.
