Wow, you're right - Amazon does as well. I never even thought to check to see if Twin Peaks was one of the free Amazon Prime shows. Thanks for the heads up.

I could be wrong, but I think it debuted on Amazon. Didn't even realize it was available on Netflix, actually. The quality bodes well for a Blu-ray release.

I have the Itunes 1080p version and will still buy the blu ray set - I think they can look even better.

Re: Twin Peaks - Series & Fire Walk With Me
Those deleted scenes have never been released to the public. As I recall, Lynch was holding out for MK2 to pay for restoration and post production efforts so that they could be presented in the same quality as the feature, with completed editing and sound design, as a series of standalone mini-snippets from the world of Twin Peaks. MK2 balked at the cost of this, and they never came to terms. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't believe the work was ever done.
Later, Lynch convinced MGM to do this for the Blue Velvet deleted scenes, and that footage looks terrific.
Strangely, Lynch was perfectly happy to release the deleted scenes from Wild at Heart in absolutely terrible workprint quality as part of his "Lime Green Set" DVD box. I guess he doesn't care about Wild at Heart as much as he does Twin Peaks or Blue Velvet.

Didn't know about all the low-down on the FWWM deleted scenes. Hopefully he gets the funding needed to finish them off properly. But, again, I'll take them however I can get them because I desperately want to see this footage.

When Bill says "soon" what is the time estimate? 1 Day....1 week...3 months...2 years?

I know Bill Hunt said this was "coming soon", but Netflix has the whole series available in SuperHD (1080p). I believe that is comparable to VUDUs HDX for those that don't want to pay the $40 or so for the series digitally.

I'll leave it to other Netflix subscribers to comment on the quality of "SuperHD," but I believe its bit rates are much lower than VUDU's.

The post cards came with the first 10,000. The thing is many people had a problem with discs 4 and 6 in the first run so if you decide to buy a sealed copy that has the postcards off of ebay or amazon you may have a problem. For some reason on discs 4 and 6 the menu would load but it would let you choose anything.

The postcards were included in the first editions of the set.
I think that there were something like 60 or 65 postcards, and each set came with ten or twelve. Sort of like packs of trading cards, they were inserted randomly, so people who wanted the whole set were paying out the wazoo for them on eBay.

Re: Twin Peaks - Series & Fire Walk With Me
I saw a tweet from someone the other day (might've been a TP fan page) stating that contracts have been signed to include around 45 minutes of deleted footage from FWWM on this set.

Saw the same. It was on the "Bring Twin Peaks Back to TV" facebook page, I think, but the quote originates from Mark Frost. Good news - this is the last best hope for these I think.

Here's hoping that it really works out this time.
