Re: SPOILERS: The Secret History of Twin Peaks
Two twin peaks, two worlds, two lodges. Could the waiting room be the pathway between both? Perhaps the black lodge and the white lodge are not rooms but two different versions of the world, seperated by a catastrophic event. Burroughs always believed that the atom bomb eviscerated people's souls, and he invented the lodges (and he was due to play Dwayne milford).
I wouldn't be surprised if this dossier is garland Briggs attempt to work out where the two worlds split, using contradicting documents either found or collected from the black and white lodges, and attempting to find chronology.
It might be that we see some crossing over beteeen the two worlds in series 2...

Well, seeing how she's not voicing TP, there's another female voice that does Margaret and Audrey...Soolsma wrote:Who is Shiels voicing in the audiobook

Woah...could it be? Hawk as The Sheriff of Twin Peaks PD like he always deserved? Probably not but that's still exciting to hear from Frost. I like Hawk so much.Jerry Horne wrote:Saw Mark tonight in Portland.
He said "You are going to like where Hawk ends up".
"You might remember Lana Milford, Miss Twin Peaks 1989".

Re: SPOILERS: The Secret History of Twin Peaks
What's the significance of the chant? We know Mike and Bob say it. In the book Jack parsons also says it. As for the Ring the following people wear it:
1.Meriweter Lewis
2 Jack parsons
3 President Nixon
4 Teresa Banks
5 Laura Palmer
6 The nurse
7 Desmond and Geferies just came in contact with the ring. Don't think they wore it

If he said those exact words about Lana it means there is an alternative time line out there. We don't remember Lana winning Miss Tp, but maybe she did win in another timeline/universeJerry Horne wrote:Saw Mark tonight in Portland.

Re: SPOILERS: The Secret History of Twin Peaks
It is possible that their first arrival in our dimension and occupation of the Lodge(s) began in the 50's, but since the Lodges are out of time, they could exist at any point in time after entering. Leading to them always being around. I'd assume someone from the 1700's, or earlier, who found their way in to the Lodge would very possibly see Coop wandering around.laughingpinecone wrote:Oh yeah, having an extradimensional nature isn't in opposition to their symbolic aspect - and it's almost as vague as saying that these characters come "from another place", anyway. I'm only perplexed by the 1950 origin story The book straight-up says that they have always been around, so that specific possibility should've been discarded and I can rest easy, I guess... very curious to see what will come up and what won't.N. Needleman wrote:They can be intrinsically tied to humanity without being from this dimension. And I think the US govt may be aware of aspects of the Lodge entities, but that doesn't mean they understand it. IMO Project Blue Book on the show often seemed to be looking in the wrong place.laughingpinecone wrote:I see the spirits as intrinsically tied to humanity, representing and nudging some aspects of our nature. So what did people do before 1950?
And... in broad strokes, TSHOTP says that some forces within the US government are aware of these supernatural forces and that people have been researching them all over the place. I think this could be part of s3.
Either way, none of that shit Engels and Lynch worked on for FWWM but didn't shoot may ever come up again and it's not canonical, so who knows what the ballgame is now. For now it's all just speculation. I'd like to see some of it but I expect nothing.
Perfectly agreed that they seem to understand even less than the viewer does. But they know that something is out there and may be looking for it. Therefore, I think that S3 may have in store more characters like Briggs, Earle and Milford, working for the government in some capacity, or even loose cannons like Parsons!

Re: SPOILERS: The Secret History of Twin Peaks
I haven't seen this discussed, but the book seems to heavily imply that Jack Parsons is Phillip Gerard. Is that what others got from it?

I find it more important to consider what Mark has been saying at the signings to be a hint toward something that is completely missing from the book:
Annie.

This only in case that he himself has become a deity of sorts in his own right - otherwise they would not let him show face, he is trapped in blackness inside the lodge if not fully eradicated, and alive on the outside. And even if it's the former, who knows which way that could have gone, the photos are telling you know ..bowisneski wrote:

Re: SPOILERS: The Secret History of Twin Peaks
From what we see in Fire Walk with Me and The Missing Pieces, Coop is walking around the Red Room area and has a conversation the TMFAP. This occurs both after and before he gets trapped.Aqua wrote:This only in case that he himself has become a deity of sorts in his own right - otherwise they would not let him show face, he is trapped in blackness inside the lodge if not fully eradicated, and alive on the outside.

Re: SPOILERS: The Secret History of Twin Peaks
I find the idea of a parallel TP very interesting. What if there is a "good" and "evil" town?
Frost hinted at it when asked about it.chalfont wrote:Why are the letters "Z" and "Y" switched on the Corona typewriter, page 344...? clue that something is not right here...?
