I have the gold box set. sorry.

Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:29 (seventeen years ago) link

You're not alone.

(Um, LARA Flynn Boyle, yes?)

Ned Raggett, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Granted, LFB was NOT skinny and gross then...

Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:37 (seventeen years ago) link

...and looked like Sean Young's sister back then...

Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved, Sunday, 6 January 2008 07:40 (seventeen years ago) link

When it was originally on TV, I would have said Sherilyn Fenn, but I've since come around to Madchen Amick.

Laura Flynn Boyle was kind of gross back then and just got worse with time.

oh she wasn't that bad.

sherilynn. my college roommates and i were big sherilynn fans. we bought the issue of playboy with her in it, and rented two-moon junction at least twice.

(i wrote a paper for a film studies class about the women of twin peaks. my lesbian deconstructionist prof was a big fan of the show.)

tipsy mothra, Sunday, 6 January 2008 17:38 (seventeen years ago) link

i really liked shelley best

still thought LFB was pretty hot until recently, but Sherilyn had a recurring role on Dawson's Creek...

LFB - a 1/2 step off of Nikki Sixx

gabbneb, Sunday, 6 January 2008 18:44 (seventeen years ago) link

not that he's a bad-looking dude or anything

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

LFB looks like she's breaking her face on SF's hair.

Rock Hardy, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 00:20 (seventeen years ago) link

No transvestite David Duchovny. No credibilty.

JTS, Wednesday, 9 January 2008 02:33 (seventeen years ago) link

yeah... basically.

Hungarian hotties win again

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 10 January 2008 00:09 (sixteen years ago) link

I understand the Joan Chen hate but surely Piper Laurie and Peggy Lipton shoulda been options?!

Shakey Mo Collier, Thursday, 10 January 2008 00:10 (sixteen years ago) link

No Log Lady?

Were the results of this poll ever in doubt?

Sparkle Motion, Thursday, 10 January 2008 02:06 (sixteen years ago) link

one year passes...

Was there ever a fuller version of this poll, or a general Twin Peaks character poll? Not picking anything up on search...

krakow, Monday, 24 August 2009 11:04 (fifteen years ago) link

ten years pass...

This poll is nutso, Audrey is terrible

Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 21 November 2019 22:01 (five years ago) link

great revive

actor Robert de Niro disguised as an Uzbek homeopath (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 21 November 2019 22:07 (five years ago) link

I just started re-watching season 1 after not having seen it in 20+ years and I don't remember finding Audrey quite as insufferable as I do now

Also I remember this show being way stranger and spookier. It's still good and all but the adult plot lines now feel to me like David Lynch + Northern Exposure and the teenager plot lines feel like David Lynch + Degrassi

I may watch Season 2 after this, even though I remember the entire middle of that season being an absolute slog. Regardless, Dale Cooper remains one of my all time favorite characters on a television series

Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 21 November 2019 23:53 (five years ago) link

i'm suspicious of this poll and jealously recommend reviving mine instead: Worst ongoing plotline in the second season of Twin Peaks (SPOILERS)

Doctor Casino, Thursday, 21 November 2019 23:59 (five years ago) link

This poll is nutso, Audrey is terrible

― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, November 21, 2019 2:01 PM (two hours ago)

lol, as if this poll had anything to do with the characters and wasn't all about which actress was most boner-inspiring (e.g. 'neb's choice for the non-brunette)

sarahell, Friday, 22 November 2019 00:15 (five years ago) link

Oh, that's unfortunate. Old ILX and whatnot. Anyway in that case the answer is clearly Peggy Lipton (though technically not a lead I guess)

I'm gonna post on Doctor Casino's poll after I re-watch season 2

Definitely weird there hasn't been an all-encompassing TP character poll; would have assumed TP was to ILX what arguments about which is the superior McCartney remaster is to Steve Hoffman Forums

TWIN PEAKS CAST + CHARACTER POLL

Fenn in TP is truly incredibly iconic and beautiful, in my mind maybe the most beautiful woman who was ever on television. It counts for something.

akm, Friday, 22 November 2019 03:31 (five years ago) link

yeah it's audrey and not close

agree with paul that rewatching season 1 after having seen season three is pretty jarring. the storyline with the kids really hits a wall about a third of the way into the season, none of them are really interesting enough (except audrey)
