I remember watching the original series on Hulu or Netflix or something, probably in part inspired by your (and Matt's) recommendation back in the IGN days. I remember liking it but it wasn't until I got to Fire Walk With Me that I fell in love with the world Lynch and Frost created. You touched on this, but it feels a bit weird to say that one of my favorite movies is a prequel movie based on TV show, but it really is.
I loved The Return as well, stuff like the episode you highlighted and Wally Brando (“May the road rise up to meet your wheels”) were amazing. But the moment that has stuck with me the most is the final scene. I remember just sitting there in silence long after the credits and the haunting score ended. After all these years, on random walks or when I'm cleaning or listening to a song I'll hear: "What year is this?" and then a boom and then a scream.
On whim, I bought myself a Blu-ray set of the original series and The Return (I already had the Criterion Collection release of Fire Walk With Me) for Christmas. I've never rewatched the series but I think it's about time to experience it all again

Yes, absolutely amazing final scene!
