That's a good point - I don't think anyone seriously expected LFB to return for Season 3.

I have a hard time seeing Donna Hayward suddenly falling in love with Benjamin Horne AKA her father. I would also put "The evolution of the Arm with MJA's head on top of it" in the very much a rumour department. Same. I imagine the idea for the tensions between Ben and his assistant only ...

I'd be curious what the original script entailed for the characters of performers who didn't appear in The Return. I assume that Frank Truman got most of Harry Truman's lines/scenes (with a few of them going to Hawk). And I read somewhere that The Evolution of the Arm was always the plan, but just w...

I always loved that shot of James and Donna standing in the headlights of Truman's police vehicle, with Donna exclaiming "he didn't do anything!" I don't know why, there's just something very naturalistic and weird about the way the shot looks, especially coming right after James and Donna...

Ah right. Forgot that it was the NEW Fat Trout.

But it is kind of interesting how modern day Twin Peaks has sort of turned into Deer Meadow in a way. The whole town looks like a giant trailer park now.

That's a a good question; I always had the impression that Gordon Cole knows/intuits more about things than he ever admits, so I just assumed Agents Desmond and Stanley were out there based on one of his hunches. Your question reminds me though, of how MIKE (Phillip Gerard) talked about killing toge...

I still wonder why Hastings' secretary (Betty) would only give the coordinates to Ray. Did Ray and her have some prior relationship...? Also, when did Ray find the time to interact with her -- Betty was killed in a car bomb, and Ray was arrested seemingly a day after teaming up with Mr. C. I don't r...

Seeing how into sound design Lynch is these days, I wouldn't mind them continuing TP as a serialized radio drama. Obviously I'd prefer a season 4 on showtime, but I'm sure Lynch + Badalamenti and his other audio collaborators could produce some real rich headphone experiences were they to continue t...

I'm still wrestling with how to interpret Sarah from Season 3 to FWWM to the original series -- not sure whether she is a hapless victim, or an otherwordly antagonist, or a regular human complicit through her denial & enabling. But just recently I've started to view Sarah, at least in the contex...

That's an interesting thought. Instead of no specific time though, what if it's a specific place in space time? What if the orb creation sequence takes place "concurrently" with Cooper seeing Laura get ripped from the Lodge, and The Fireman deposits her in "the past" to grow up ...

This is one of the main paradoxes that drive me nuts. I think that's a very good theory, but if it is the case that Laura disappears from Cooper in 1989 at the same moment that she disappears from him in the Black Lodge (as you say, the scream is the same so it makes sense), and if we say that happ...

My first thought was maybe she whispered something about not wanting to be saved, echoing Jacoby's epiphany in the original series about Laura 'allowing' herself to die. But it might tie into something else I've been pondering. People have speculated about the linear (or non-linear) nature of Lodge ...

Does anyone think that Laura, at the end of ep. 17, exited to a new existence in Odessa as Carrie Page to avoid dealing with confronting her mother..? I mean, if Sarah/JUDY could just flick anyone into a new life at will, then how could anyone ever confront her? I think on some level, Laura might've...

I imagine that ultimately the Red Room is like any other organization -- they might have all these rules and codes, but they break them all the time. This might be evidenced by BOB trying to withhold garmonbozia from MIKE, and all the other (perceived) infighting amongst the spirits during the series.

For some reason I took the arm-doppelganger's cry of "non-existent" to be a statement on the status of Cooper. In the final episode of the original series, Cooper bargained his soul over to Windham Earle, then BOB disintegrated Earle. BOB and the Red Room confined Cooper's soul, but maybe ...
