I started watching the new TP last night and am confused about a few things. I watched a few of the original episodes when it came out in the '90s, so I have a sense of the general plotline.
Is the new one a remake, a retelling, an homage, all of these, or none of these?
What year(s) was the original set in? New one is in 1989, how does this reconcile with previous timeline?
How in the *heck *have they made the original actors look so young?? Kyle MacLachlan is 58, Sherilyn Fenn is 52, and so on. Is it CGI or really good makeup?
I thank you in advance for helping with de-confuzzination.
I haven’t seen any of the new stuff, but this line made me bust out laughing:
Bolded for emphasis on the funny part! That shit was all over the road! I’ve seen them ALL, twice, and don’t really have a good grasp on any general plotline.
Are you sure you’re actually watching the new series, and not episodes from the original run? Showtime has both.
The new episodes take place 25 years after the original second season. Kyle MacLachlan is in pretty good shape for his age, but he does look 58. Sherilyn Fenn hasn’t even appeared in the new season yet.
Hmmmmmmmm . . . I think you are right about this! I’m streaming from Amazon Prime and now I’m wondering if I have begun watching the original – wow, this would pretty much take care of all the questions I’ve posted. It would be why the actors look so young and it’s 1989 :D:D:D
Well, now I can savor the original then move into the newer eps.
