Not too many shows get a comeback story for only garnering two seasons under their belt, but for "Twin Peaks" the chance has struck. Call it luck, but unlike many short-lived television projects, "Twin Peaks" stands as a one-of-a-kind gem gaining fame as a cult classic series for its zany characters, peculiar sequences, and one mysterious murder unfolding hidden secrets within a Northwestern town.

Over twenty years have passed since the showed ended in 1991 due to dwindling ratings. Yet, fans of the original series have latched onto the ominous musings of the series since its premature end leading to creators David Lynch and Mark Frost’s recent revival of the hit suspense show on "Showtime." Fans can look forward to watching some of the original cast such as FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper played by Kyle Maclachlan, Madchen Amick as waitress Shelly Johnson, and Russ Tamblyn as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby. New faces have also been woven into the fabric of the revival series with actors such as Michael Cera, Naomi Watts, Eddie Vedder, Amanda Seyfried, Matthew Lillard, and Jim Belushi just to name a few.

Though "Twin Peaks" ended as a series in the early '90s, a film titled "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me "was released as a horror film in 1992. According to Lynch, the revival will include the details from the film as a part of the continuation of the eerily strange and anomalous "Twin Peaks: The Return. "

As for binge-worthy summer shows, I highly recommend catching up on the original "Twin Peaks" on Netflix before diving into the revival series. Understanding the offbeat characters, singular dynamics, and memorable dream sequence will allow audiences to truly appreciate the craftsmanship of such an influential show. A show worthy of resuscitation and a brand new generation of audiences to admire its enigmatic charm. Every episode is tinged with that subtle, jazzy sleuthing music reminiscent of sultry, noir pictures where characters deep in thought wear tipped hats that cast shadows over their eyes and smoke ringlets dance circles around a beautiful seductress. If there is any excuse to spend a few days on the couch watching Netflix from dusk to dawn, "Twin Peaks" is the way to go. There are only two seasons and once you’ve started a black hole of paradoxical questions pulls you in until you’ve found the answers. To me, that makes for good television.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
