SEASON 2 OR BUST! How can they possibly go on without the enthralling and compelling "James fixes some rando's motorcycle" plotline???

I'll say it again, speaking as a Twin Peaks superfan: I think you guys should watch Season 1 and the first part of Season 2, stopping at the episode that will be a very obvious stopping point when you get there. Then I recommend you take a break, and do some soul searching about whether or not you guys want to push through, into the very, very dreadful second half of Season 2.
