I am off to a slow start trying to squeeze this into my already packed TV-watching schedule, but I am seriously interested in this so I am making an effort. I started on my lunch break yesterday, like I said I would, but the pilot is 1.5 hours so I only saw about half. That said, I am hooked!
I love the girls and their clothes and hairs and shoes and cigarette-smoking. It almost makes me miss high school, or some alternate reality high school where I was cool and tall and not all dorky.
I'll be honest, I literally knew nothing about this show, so I had no idea what to expect and I was not prepared for

the brilliantly acted reaction of the mom at her daughter's death.
I was having a rough mood day and I thought a little light TV watching might help ease the funk. MY BAD.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting back into it and reading what you guys have to say cuz you** are a billion times better at pop cultural analysys than I am.
I assume I will find out who killed Laura Palmer by the time I finish watching the pilot, right? Right?!
*(Do we need to do spoilers for a 24-year-old show? I'm going to say yes, because I am blessedly unbespoilt for this so far, but I won't be mad if we don't end up sticking with it.)
** You know who you are.
