Great pilot episode so-so sound, no extras worth noting,
By WTDK "If at first the idea is not absurd, the... (My Little Blue Window, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Twin Peaks: Pilot Episode (DVD)
Without the pilot episode of "Twin Peaks" the boxed set is useless. Sure for those of us who have videotaped copies or laserdisc copies of the pilot, there's recourse but the chillig pilot episode needs to be seen to appreciate the rest of the series. I imagine that the second season would have seen release and the boxed set would have sold better if the pilot had been included. The picture quality varies a bit in quality. Overall, it's not bad but it doesn't compare to that of the high definition transfer that's a highlight of the boxed set. The sound is pretty bad but you can listen to it. I really didn't notice that the pitch of the voices was all that different but it's probably due to the fact that overseas video is in a different format (PAL) than the U.S. (NTSC). The differences in the two formats would certainly explain that issue.. That would explain the incorrect pitch and the fact that it's a bit too fast to some folks. Color is an issue in some scenes as the picture does appear too yellow in others but overall the picture quality is good but far from great. Someone commented earlier that this is an edited version of the pilot. No, actually it's the entire pilot run a slightly higher speed. The original pilot ran roughly 90 minutes (two television episodes average about 43 minutes a piece and that pilot was essentially two episodes back-to-back). Unfortunately there's no extras to speak of except some really bad preview trailers and some information on the cast. Reportedly Paramount resumes control of the "Twin Peaks" license in 2005 so my guess is we'll see the pilot repacked with the first season (and available separately hopefully) along with the second season of the show. 5 stars for the pilot which created a mixture of an oblique mystery and an inversion of the traditional sopa opera and 2 stars for the transfer.

Well, at least it's a DVD...,

This review is from: Twin Peaks: Pilot Episode (DVD)
It's true the video and sound leave a lot to be desired, sorry to say. Mine seemed to have a slight sickly yellowish overcast that had me grabbing the TV remote and playing with picture settings most of the time but I wasn't able to get the color to look the way it should. But with VHS on its way out I wanted to have a DVD copy since it was available. Nothing exciting in extras here either. Keep you chin up though, the First Season set is fantastic and will make your heart sing.

Content was great, but sound was poor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Twin Peaks: Pilot Episode (DVD)
To be honest, I didn't notice the finer aspects of the audio. What really drove me crazy was the pitch of the voices and music. Everything was higher than normal. Luckily, I still have all of the episodes on VHS. Hearing Agent Cooper sound like Nadine was more than I could bear.
