Re: Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces - analysis/thoughts etc
I don't disagree with you that the ring seems to embody knowledge in the scenes you referenced. I've never been sold though that Cooper's warning not to take the ring was in error. I mean, we hear the Little Man say to Bob, "With this ring, I thee wed" and they both laugh evilly. People wh...

Re: Twin Peaks: The Missing Pieces - analysis/thoughts etc
I was watching the Missing Pieces again and a few more details I hadn't noticed before sparked some new curiosities I thought I might as well share. We all already know there seems to be some kind of connection in the series with the trees and the spirit-like entities ("Ghostwood", Log Lad...

Re: Let's talk about MIKE
Doc Hayward says Philip Gerard will die if they don't give him his medication so the implication is that Coop has one final chat with Mike and then the human host is restored with an injection. Yeah, it's just so weird that we never see him again after that. But I really do wonder if MIKE wasn't wo...

Something random I noticed after Major Brigg's abduction
So I was watching Episode 19 (one of the less than stellar ones), and when Major Briggs is being debriefed by Harry and Cooper trying to unlock his memories from his disappearance, he breaks down at one point. Now I have never noticed this before, but when as he is saying, almost tearfully, "Is...

Re: Interview with Brad Dukes, author of Reflections
I just listened to your interview with the Red Room Podcast about this book Brad, I will definitely be buying this book! One thing I was really curious about, does the book have interviews with anybody like Lenny Von Dohlen that reveal anything more about what Harold's character was intended to be o...

Re: Let's talk about MIKE
You know, I've never really sat down and done this but at some point I'd like to really parse out the whole investigation from the perspective of how effectively it leads to the suspect. After all, Cooper does not catch the killer before he kills again, and when he finally catches him he's abandoni...

Re: The Buenos Aires/Convenience Store deleted scenes
Thanks for saying so Jasper! It's all pent up you know? With the release of the Missing Pieces I feel like it's just all pouring out of my mind like a waterfall again.

Re: Let's talk about MIKE
Is there supposed to be some further justification (both legal and ethical) I'm missing here? No, I think you summed it up very well. Mr. Gerard definitely gets a raw deal. It's stated multiple times that he is just a traveling shoe salesman and he has never been in trouble with the law. Like Lelan...

Re: Let's talk about MIKE
Mike is interested in undermining Bob's Bad Faith (in the Sartrean sense) and putting him in him in his proper place, as though Bob's got no business messing with "real people" anymore, which Mike either sees as his domain or neither his nor Bob's. Which brings me to another theory, I've ...

Re: Let's talk about MIKE
Isn't Mike's only goal "to stop Bob" (from stealing the "corn")? But that's just it. If MIKE is really "purified/changed" now, then why would he have any business with the corn (which Lynch helpfully translates as "pain and suffering") anymore or claim any of...

Re: The Buenos Aires/Convenience Store deleted scenes
]If we have glyphs in the Owl Cave which include the symbol on the ring and tall man and short man images, as well as legends (told by Hawk) about the Black Lodge, then how does that work with the lodge spirits arriving in the 1950s? Perhaps the lodge was there, and that is where humans (and spirit...

Re: The Buenos Aires/Convenience Store deleted scenes
I think Michael J. Anderson may portray the COMPLETE spirit, MIKE, in the convenience store scene. Oh alright. I had thought maybe Lynch was trying to play on Anderson's short stature as symbolic of how Little Man (who says "I am the Arm") isn't a "complete being" (all unfortuna...

Re: Let's talk about MIKE
This made me curious so I looked up when Hank Worden passed away (the actor who plays the Elderly Roomservice Waiter), and it was in December, 1992, just a few months after the film's release. I wonder if, at the age of 91, he was just too old or didn't feel up to it or something, and so Lynch didn'...

Re: Does anybody know who played the Man Behind the Tree?
So yeah, ski mask character was supposed to be someone other than Leland. Yeah alright, I figured it had to have been. Argh, I really wish someone could find out who they got to perform those scenes, and if they have any indication of who their character was originally going to be? It just makes me...

Re: The Bob/Leland relationship
My impression is that it was always a "we don't talk about this" kind of thing. Unfortunately, abusive fathers have often been shown to operate under the delusion that their daughters "like" what's going on, and that's it's some kind of consensual secret rather than a matter of ...
