Re:

I watched Twin Peaks with a group of friends week after week during the initial run and nobody said a bad thing about Annie. However, i remember people talking about how Audrey's character had become a bit of a wet blanket late in the series. Her story arc was leading up to banging JJW in a jet whi...

Re: Favourite/least favourite things in Twin Peaks

My favorite character is definitely Agent Cooper. Least favorite is John Justice Wheeler. I'm not a big fan of Billy Zane to begin with, but the JJW character and his romance with Audrey made me cringe all the way through. My favorite episode is a tough pick between three of the ones directed by Lyn...

Re: Fire Walk With Me as a standalone film (&/or seeing it 1

I think I like it more as a standalone film. The tone and feel of the movie is so far removed from the TV series that it feels seriously disjointed. That may partially be due to the fact that the lions share of the TV series was only loosely controlled by Lynch(he directed only 3 episodes, right?).

Re: Gender Idenity

My notion is that Lynch embraces the idea of demonic possession in Twin Peaks as a more satisfying explanation for extremes that defy human reasoning. There are a number of characters in Twin Peaks doing a wide spectrum of "evil" acts, but these characters are acting within the bounds of w...

Leland's death/Bob

"I have this thing for knives. Just like what happened to you in Pittsburgh that time." I didn't give it that much thought before, but it is pretty odd for Bob(speaking through Leland) to make reference to Coop being stabbed by Earle. Also odd since I don't believe Bob used a knife in any ...

Re: New here, some questions and observations

I am guessing the three sharp notes are the three deaths attributed to Bob's possession of Leland: Laura, Teresa, and Maddy(not counting Leland himself, though). The show does have an obsession with doubling and I believe the final intro goes into that as well. It's just three bullets fired at the ...

Re: New here, some questions and observations

It's strange to think Earle would use Sarah as a conduit - he never even mentions the Palmers at all throughout the series. I tend to think it was another entity, but who knows. I think the shooting script may have specified it was Earle. The odd thing though is the whole diner sequence isn't even ...

Re: New here, some questions and observations

It's been suggested that the reason why Cooper doesn't speak backwards is because we're experiencing the Lodge from his point of view. If we were experiencing things from someone else's POV, then we would hear Cooper speaking backwards. The problem I have with this suggestion is that in FWWM we sti...

New here, some questions and observations

Hi, just starting off on these boards, but I imagine I will spend a fair amount of time here. I got into Twin Peaks a little more than a year ago and my interest is continuing to grow. I am on my third viewing of the series and watched FWWM once(soon to be twice). I have been watching the recently r...

Re: The Venus Statues and Their Meanings

I find it interesting that you talk about Venus De Milo's left arm holding the "apple of discord". It draws a parallel between Venus and Laura in the sense that they both were responsible for creating discord around them. Donna complains of this in one of the early episodes: "we are s...
