LostInTheMovies I really agree with you about 16 - it’s a key episode but also frustrating and problematic. I think the part I like the most - besides the “Tibetan Book of the Dead” recitation bit which seems to be almost universally liked - is actually probably the Donna/James scene (“this is no go...

LostInTheMovies: I think 16 may be your favorite episode, it's the one you talk about the most.

I interpret the "European ending" as being an unedited version of Cooper's dream of Episode 2. Note that in Episode 3 Coop describes events that weren't aired as part of the dream, but were seen or described in the alternate pilot ending: "Sarah Palmer saw her daughter's killer...Haw...

If I’m not mistaken the European ending is the only filmed material we’ve ever seen which sits squarely outside the Twin Peaks canon – in other words what we’re shown onscreen (or some of it) ostensibly “didn’t happen” and conflicts with what did. Leland didn’t call Lucy at this point, Mike didn’t c...

My post is gone! Maybe Windom Earle stole it... More thoughts on Windom Earle: the Moriarty angle is definitely there but the character is also an aspiring “black magician” who attempts to harness hidden forces. Such figures also appear in genre fiction (Tolkien’s Saruman comes to mind) if not as o...

You should let Stevie G know Episode 27 has its own cult following (within a cult following) here on the message boards !

To put it in the simplest, most straightforward terms possible: Frost is a proactive creator, Lynch is a reactive one. That type of reactive/proactive “Lennon-McCartney” dichotomy seems to show up in all the most successful creative partnerships. It’s really rare for a single artist to be able to g...

We talked earlier about what non-Lynch material (if any) found its way into Fire Walk With Me. This might be an example...

To add/emphasize I’m not suggesting the two interpretations are mutually exclusive, far from it. I mean if you just look at Jungian psychology in particular, mythologies can be treated both as manifestations of the collective unconscious and vice-versa. So from that point of view the inquiries into ...

I've noticed lately that there are two "camps" when it comes to FWWM: those who emphasize the psychological, and those who emphasize the supernatural. LITM: you talked about “psychological” versus “mythological” interpretations among viewers. I tend to find in Fire Walk With Me (moreso th...

Still I take your point that the character simply isn’t very Lynchian. Although, it’s worth mentioning: he probably could have been. Presumably at the very beginning he was a blank slate. But at some point – really even before the introduction onscreen – the writers seem to have gone down a certain ...

I think Lynch definitely was not keen on Windom Earle, based on his statements to Greg Olson and Martha Nochimson among others. You have done some extra homework there… I wasn’t aware DL had discussed Windom Earle in any interviews. In that case, if he generally disliked the character, that makes t...

Right after Sarah Palmer tells Maj. Briggs her message and we see Dale walking down the hallway, according to Netflix the LMFAP says "I'm waiting for you." Is that really from the LMFAP? It sounds nothing him. It’s understandably confusing for whoever closed-captioned Episode 29 but Netfl...

Thanks for digging this up. My question is answered !

OKBob recently posted this fantastic section of an early draft of Ronnie Rocket (then called Ronny Rocket): GIRL I got idea, man...you take me for a walk ( she moves closer to the guy) under the sycamore trees (closer) the dark trees that blow, baby. In the dark trees I'll see you and you'll see me...
