LurkerAtTheThreshold, you've made some interesting points that I can't simply dismiss out of hand. Nevertheless, I do have some disagreements with a few of your statements, and I'll address those here. who exactly is Mr C? Cooper's doppelganger. His bad side. His shadow self. Bob's MO was that he de...

We always thought someone would 'rescue' Cooper from the Lodge, instead he just seems to have 'left' right after Laura whispered something in his ear. So it's really up in the air at this point as to what allowed Coop to leave the Lodge. Did Laura make some sacrifice that allowed him to leave? Base...

Hey, is anyone else thinking of the Fates for the Pink Ladies? One looks to the left, one to the right and the middle on straight ahead. TSHOTP says one of the two races of lodge spirits is "The Nordic Race" which could liken them to the Norns, and the Venus statue in the Red Room and the...

I'll confess that I pirate the new season. But only so that I can watch it hours after it airs in the states. I did take out a subscription to NowTV in the UK (which carries Sky Atlantic) so that I could watch the live airing of the premier, and no doubt they will do the same with the finale, so I ...

Interesting thoughts. That said, listening to Cooper's footsteps in the lodge, at least in episode 29, he's clearly got leather soles. Not that this would stop Frost and Lynch from following through with the rubber idea, if they really liked it. (I'm not assuming that they had any such idea, but it'...

I thought I would turn detective and see what occurs during the 30th minute of episode 4 (430). Low and behold what have I deduced?????? Only that our dear friend The Giant is clearly a huge Wally supporter too. For at this precise moment in the episode is where Wally's 'Lewis and Clark' monologue ...

So, how do we know that Jerry isn't simply including these as short descriptions to go along with the "Part" titles? They're really like little bits of poetry or something, and the fact that they're written this way, as something very different than what other shows put in that spot, shows...

A while back someone posted a dream critic who wrote an article analyzing Twin Peaks as Cooper's dream. While I found her reading too reductive, she did bring up the idea that gold often represents one's identity in dreams. So I do think it's probable that's what Lynch and Frost are referring to wi...

@Ragnell That's a really strong post. I agree with pretty much all of it except I think we may not know yet what exactly gold signifies. Did the gold pearl signify artificiality or did it signify identity/self? Did it imply that Cooper's identity, the golden pearl, had been taken from him and place...

From what I recall, execs at Showtime, or at least Nevins, read the original script. This doesn't take into account the directing choices made during filming, but Lynch has said that the story was really finished with Mark, and that any improvisations made up perhaps 20% of the final product. Frost ...

Agent Earle, thanks for providing those Frost quotes. I'd forgotten that he'd said multiple things on the subject back then during that exciting flurry of interviews. Now we've got a primo compendium of quotes on the subject in this thread. It may be a little off-topic, but it had to be done, and, w...

It may not mean anything but I posted a pic of Audrey and Richard on Twitter and then Debbie Zoller (Head make-up artist on the show) posted this: That'd be screwed up if she spoils it! True, but his identity probably isn't going to be a long drawn-out secret either. If he is Audrey's son (and that...

Spoiler from TSHoTP: Thanks. I was about 2/3rds of the way through when I got distracted by other things. It seems like the return is a smashing success so far and if I were a member of the cast or crew I would be aching to continue working with such a fantastic team to weave such a magical web. It...

My personal feeling is that there would be more Twin Peaks if Showtime indicated an interest in more Twin Peaks. As for whether or not that could happen, I have no idea whatsoever. During any writing process, especially an extremely long, complex process such as the one that resulted in The Return, ...

From what I can tell, if Showtime requested more Twin Peaks, there would be more Twin Peaks. I'm not sure why this thread isn't in the Season 3 section. I don't want to accidentally write something that could be considered a spoiler, or otherwise be hamstrung by such considerations, so I'm going to ...
