5. Another thing in common!
I loved Twin Peaks. I used to skip dates just to stay home w/ my best friend Allison, watch Twin Peaks, drink coffee and eat cherry pie!

25. It's seriously brilliant.

Definitely rivals Twin Peaks for my favourite show ever. I was quite pissed when they cancelled it. And Michael J. Anderson (The Man From Another Place) is one of the stars!

34. Best series EVER!
Loved the way they exposed the inner fears and demons of the characters.
Pembleton and Batliss ine "The Box", was classic.

What did you think of the final movie?

X-Files was the best, but Twin Peaks is the best show of all time, hands down.

35. I'll always be an X-Files fan.
While I was fed up with the show during its last season, when it went off the air it was readily apparent that there were no other shows like it on television.

I miss Mulder and Scully. Especially Scully. God, how I miss Scully.
