I think David Lynch thinks ideas are "alive" and out there. And maybe life is those ideas in physical forms. So basically every single version of our reality is out there as ideas. There is the idea of me wearing a white shirt instead of a black shirt right now.
So what if Lynch wanted to use that idea in S3 so that someone somehow is able to tap into these existing ideas and change the world with them?
Things would change and no-one would understand they have changed, except maybe the person who has changed it. Maybe some things would be changed intentionally, maybe some things would be changed randomly by accident. Lana would be the Miss Twin Peaks. Dale Cooper would wear a green coat, because why the hell not
Maybe there is a "button" that when pressed it would randomly change events and details in the world by applying those "living ideas" in our reality.
I would accept the grey aliens as freak ideas come into existence instead of them being things grown via evolution in some different planet
Which is why I absolutely LOVE the line in the FWWM script where Mrs. Tremond says "Why not be composed of materials and combinations of atoms?"

It's like reading the original script for the final episode of the 2nd season; a horrible mess without an ounce of the intuitional soulful work that led the final episode be what it was.
Oof, that's harsh. The Episode 29 script is indeed awful (and Mark is undoubtedly more than somewhat to blame), but this book is NOWHERE near that level of banality. Although the UFO conspiracy themes are familiar and worn-out, the dialogue and structure remain fun even throughout the UFO sections -- and many parts of the book are really excellently well-written and presented. Compared to the original Episode 29 script (which was packed wall-to-wall with awful, stilted dialogue -- Earle talking about Annie "cramming for finals" by praying the rosary just before she dies, Harry saying the cringe-worthy line, "Whatever is is right"), the book is bloody Shakespeare.
Yeah, well I didn't mean to sound that harsh
The whole idea of the book is genious. The way it's laid out is genious. The work done to connect fiction and real life happenings and persons is amazing.
But...
While there are hints towards the aliens being not really that type of aliens, the book still goes on and on and on and on and on with the most typical "Grey Alien" and "flying spaceships" type of stuff. Mark has made a choice to linger on with that stuff. Sometimes it feels more like a history book for alien conspiracy theories. And to me, when this stuff was brought up in the series, I didn't like it one bit. I even liked the Little Nicky plotline more
Even as a kid when I watched it for the first time I was so glad when they went in another direction with it.
It's a different thing to have some UFO conspiracy stuff and grey alien stuff there, but now it's used so much that it looks like it's the main thing the book is going for. I mean, I kinda like the idea that in some UFO movie in the end there would be a plot twist that suddenly makes all the grey alien and spacecraft sightings something completely different. But it still doesn't take away the fact that most of the movie has been about those grey aliens and spacecrafts.

Ew, never. Laura's Diary reads like bad fan fiction most of the time.
I've never seen it that way, but I get what you mean
I read the book when I was about 9 years old or so, and it blew my mind, and I've read it tons of times since that, and I've always enjoyed it a lot.
Now, me being 9 years old and it blowing my mind does not mean the book is a masterpiece, and in fact my age could very well be an indication that it actually is a juvenile and embarrassing piece of literature

This is my first time posting here, nice to meet you all. While studying TSHOTP I believe I found a coded message.....
Very cool stuff!
I thought those pictures were easy to see as they were. To me it was clear there was the alien head in the owl picture, and same with the other picture.
But I did not realize the connection to the red-blue glasses thing!
Nice find!
Wow, that's really cool stuff
