When we found out we were going to have Twin Peaks on Joost, we were pretty excited. Well, some of my colleagues, like Salil, a die-hard fan, were more excited than others - but pretty soon, even the youngest guy in the office, 21-year old Keith, was hooked.

But the response we had around the company didn't touch the response we got from Twin Peaks superfans out there. From around the country, people wrote in with their favorite scenes, trivia questions, and a guide to all the episodes in the series.

But it doesn't end there. We'll reveal more later this week, but for the time being, enjoy this special guest blog post from Mischa Cronin, author of The Twin Peaks Archive.

I'm often asked why I watch the 18 year old landmark cult television series Twin Peaks as many times as I do. Well, for one, I love the brilliant and moody score by Angelo Badalementi. The acting by the extensive cast of newcomers and film and TV veterans is certainly nothing short of a treat (especially for network television in 1990). The direction, including stints by co-creators David Lynch (Eraserhead, Blue Velvet) and Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) is still a revelation, crammed full of stylistic nuances and an attention to detail that ensures multiple viewings for curious and confirmed fans alike. Twin Peaks, like other great cult TV shows through the years (The X-Files and The Prisoner in particular) still beguiles us today because it offers more clues and asks more questions then it answers. I continue to watch and love the show today because I'm still looking for clues.

The first and final scenes of the series contain characters looking at themselves in a mirror. Both of these episodes were directed by Lynch and we can certainly assume this is not a coincidence. Twin Peaks is chock full of doubles, duplicates and doppelgangers. But what do all these rhyming images mean?

During the course of investigating the murder of homecoming queen Laura Palmer, FBI Agent Dale Cooper himself clues us in on what we should be looking out for: "When two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention." As someone who loves to introduce people to the world of Twin Peaks, I must admit I was excited when I learned that Joost was offering viewers a chance to watch Twin Peaks. More people to break the code. More people to solve the crime.

Some of you might have heard that we’re developing a web-based version of Joost. Well, it’s coming and we’re excited about it – and we’re working really hard to build a great platform for video entertainment.

But there’s an unfortunate side effect, and that is that we are going to have to take down our forums while we’re getting the new site up. As a result, the forums will go down on June 20.*

We’ve set up a Google Group that we’d encourage you to visit if you have any questions about Joost or you want to participate in the community conversation – and we’re going to monitor and participate in these conversations. In addition to answering your support questions, we'll also provide information about new shows and developments.

Please bookmark it and check it out here.

You can also email support@joost.com if you’re having any trouble.

Thanks for your patience. We look forward to seeing you on the new Google Group Joost Forums.

*Not the date when we’ll introduce the web-based version of Joost, by the way.

I grew up in a sporting household, where the TV was just about always on to whatever sporting event, no matter how obscure, was being contested.

This weekend, however, I was indulging my “girly” side at a friend’s wedding in California … I took Friday off and didn’t get to spend much time on email.

So imagine my surprise when, reading through my weekend emails, I check out my Joost newsletter. Danica Patrick a NASCAR driver? Any self-respecting sports fan (or, for that matter, hot-blooded male) knows that she’s an IndyCar driver … a former Rookie of the Year, and the first woman ever to win an IndyCar event with her victory at the Indy Japan 300 this year.

But apparently, some of my colleagues are not as sporting-minded as I am, (nor as detail-oriented). On their behalf, I’d like to apologize to Danica, IndyCar and female drivers everywhere.

In order to make sure they don’t make this mistake again, I’m tasking my colleagues with watching the Danica and IndyCar shows and channels on Joost. And then I’m taking them out to the race track, where I plan to make them eat my diesel dust.

We recently learned that Steve Wolkoff, our friend at FreeWheel, died in a tragic car accident. As one of FreeWheel’s first customers, we met Steve when FreeWheel first started, and worked closely with him through regular calls and face-to-face meetings. As our relationship with FreeWheel developed, our admiration and respect for Steve grew stronger. We only knew him for a few months, but his poise, confidence, and approach to everything he worked on gave the entire Joost team a huge sense of comfort knowing we were in good hands, working with a pro. Steve helped us solve complex problems and always provided a voice of reason. He had so much more to offer. We’ll miss his sound advice, winning smile and all around great attitude.

On behalf of the entire Joost team, I'd like to thank you, Steve, for your hard work, your unrelenting commitment to our business, and for your spirit – you’re sorely missed. Our deepest sympathies, thoughts, and prayers go to the Wolkoffs, Steve's girlfriend, Cindy, and the entire FreeWheel team.
