   Well, in less than 48 hours you'll have two of them to watch.   
      
   Cliff's notes: In an early scene there's a quick shot of a television, on   
   which we briefly see what I'm pretty sure is the shot of Mulder looking up   
   while standing next to the car in 'Dreamland'. Then later, there's a   
   reference to 'the old X designation' as the precursor of Fringe Division.

   Oh, hogwash. There is so much that is truly beautiful on that show. Look at   
   the majestic forests and mountains of the setting. Look at all the gorgeous   
   young women -- Mädchen Amick, Sherilynn Fenn, Lara Flynn Boyle, Peggy   
   Lipton, Joan Chen, Sheryl Lee, Kimmy Robertson. Look at the mutual respect,   
   admiration, and camaraderie among Agent Cooper, Sheriff Truman, Deputy Hawk,   
   and Major Briggs. Look at the deep caring that many of the characters had   
   for Laura Palmer, and the various romantic subplots where love survives in   
   the face of adversity and difficult situations. Look at the alternately   
   aethereal and irreverent musical score by Angelo Badalamenti. Look at the   
   elegant prose-poetry of much of the dialogue, the highly artistic   
   juxtapositions and complex symbology of the visual mise-en-scene. Even the   
   dark, disturbing images -- Laura's dead face, the owls, Cooper's bizarre   
   visions, the violent undertones -- are beautiful in their own haunting,   
   get-under-your-skin kind of way. In fact, I would call 'Twin Peaks' on the   
   whole one of the most beautiful shows I've ever seen.   
      
   And I think you're just being prejudiced about DD. Sure, if you look   
   directly at his face you can pretty easily tell he's really a man. But just   
   squint a little -- forget about your bias, and your insecurity about your   
   own sexuality (hee -- take that!). He's got nice legs, great hair, and an   
   impressive figure. Just because you call him ugly, with "bizarrely   
   inappropriate quotation marks" and everything, doesn't make it so.
