Attention 'Twin Peaks' board: starting ep.1 Friday, June 9th

Greetings, "Twin Peaks" board. We are THE SAGES OF THE SINGLE SEASON, a small group of folks (which used to be much bigger, actually) that like to watch old, preferably cancelled, one-season shows from the beginning and working all the way through to the end. We watch one show a week on Friday and then discuss over the next few days. Anyone here who is interested, we would love to have more people commenting on the episodes with us.
We had been thinking of including “Twin Peaks” for a long time, long before the “2017 Limited Event Series” came up, and only now we got the chance to do it. What we do is post an entry for each episode every Friday, and then make a few small reviews of it, grade it and make comments about the comments. And we’d be honored if you joined us.
By the way, can you believe we actually have no idea who killed Laura Palmer? Well, that’s so and we hope to keep it that way until the show reveals us that. Because of this, we ask you not to post any spoilers about future episodes on the conversation about that week’s running episode. You can say anything you want and know about that episode and the ones before it. Just pretend, as some of us do, that you’re watching the show for the first time.
I know this is hard sometimes. On one board, I remember a fellow who was very excited about the show we’re going through could only make comments such as, “ha, wait until they do this and that,” or “the show gets much better soon because they will…” or “in fact this little action has a much bigger meaning, as you’ll find out on episode #...”. And another guy even said, “in episode #... we’ll finally learn if the aliens have a base on earth or not”, which made me sure, from that point on, that the aliens did have a base on Earth 
, because why would they make an episode in which the characters find nothing and prove there's nothing? However, if an accident happens, well, we’ll have to learn to live with that.
Back to the main issue, we will start episode 1 on Friday, June 9th, 2017. We have never failed to finish a show. We have a long history as a group. Not here, but on the late IMDb message boards, a previous iteration of the Sages having started around 2008. The previous shows different generations of Sages have covered are:
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974)
Night Gallery (1969) (Season 1)
Tales of the Gold Monkey (1982)
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974)
Come and join us and let's have some fun. Word of caution though, we can be pretty harsh in some of our criticism of these shows and have ruffled feathers of some pre-existing board members in the past. We mean no harm just calling it the way we see it, we also tend to disagree with each other on whether it's a good episode or not. And we may also introduce a great deal of off-topic conversation, being a group based on the free exchange of ideas.
Anyway, looking forward to episode 1 to see what we have gotten ourselves into this time. See you on the 9th.
