Re: Episode 5 Character Parentage Poll (Spoilers)
There was a suggestion made on reddit that I hadn't considered: What if Richard is the child of Donna and James? Donna, being the biological daughter of Ben Horne. For this to work, Richard would probably have had to change his name in an attempt to weasel his way into his grandfather's fortune. I ...

Re: Part 6 - Don't die (SPOILERS)
Sharon van Etten's song has some interesting ties to the plot: "Slow it was seven / I wish it was seven all night" (seven is a lucky number of Lynch's and a recurring theme; see Lucky Seven Insurance). Even more intriguing: "Send in the owl / Tell me I'm not a child." :shock: Po...

Re: Connections to TSHOTP (SPOILERS)
My random occult-y post for the night, kind of circuitous, but I was prepping to read more about The Secret Tradition in Arthurian Legend with a book called The Secret History of the World by Mark Booth The entry on the meaning of the term "secret history" in Wikipedia is interesting- a &q...

Re: ROLLING POLL! Your ongoing reaction to the first half of The Return, parts 1-9 (SPOILERS)
This is the best television I've ever seen. I absolutely love it. It's more than what I could have hoped for (so far). There MIGHT have been a sight dip in episodes 4 and 5. But gee golly gosh - 1-3 and 6-8 were majestic. Is it just me or is anyone else finding themselves JUST wanting to watch TP? ...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)
A friend of mine sent me the link to the contemporary NA art that the characters in the upper left and lower right were cribbed from. I lost the link! Anyway, the guy in the lower right is the giant man-eating owl that shows up in several tribal myths.

Re: "This is the water, and this is the well..." poem (Spoilers)
A well in Twin Peaks could also be the natural oil "well" in the sycamore grove. This is the "water" meaning "oil" and this is the well/gateway. And the poem is like a sleeping spell from Arthurian legend, with images of darkness and descent, occult references to an ele...

Re: POLL: Old Peaks or new Peaks?
Each increases the enjoyment of the other. Season 2 now has an added dimension. Each have been carefully crafted narrative experiments to keep audiences talking and excited between episodes. Old peaks got away with murder in spite of constraints, and all of tv cannibalized the things that made it gr...

Re: Part 8 - Gotta light? (SPOILERS)
What I'm wondering is, why is the Experiment called the Experiment? Or Experiment Model like in Ep1/2. "Experiment" points to something man-made, the cliche of experiment-gone-wrong, a-bomb experiment? If the Experiment is somehow the ultimate evil/mother of BOB/something like that, then ...

I agree that was not my takeaway. Maybe he's 100% BOB now? That scene was a wildcardWonderful & Strange wrote:Someone please post proof that BOB has left Bad Coop. Tanks.

Somehow I doubt that the atom bomb was Frost's way of alluding to climate change. If you read The Secret History of Twin Peaks, and take into consideration the longstanding conspiracy of the Atom Bomb being the beginning of Alien Visitation, I think Frost is trying to tie in human evolution and the...
