Wow! I'd heard the "Windom Earle" and "Laura Palmer" explanations before, but never this one! The voice does sound like Windom's (not so much in the RR, but immediately after), but I've never quite liked the idea that it's him. Why is he using Sarah Palmer as a vessel? And why is he inviting Maj. Briggs to the Lodge? The most logical explanation is that it's Laura, trying to make someone aware of Cooper's situation through the person on the "outside" she's most connected to (wouldn't it have been fantastic if season 2 had used - but not overused - this device to keep the Palmers active?). But then why, when we cut to the corridor, do we hear the "Windom" Lodge voice (at least, certainly not Lodge Laura's). Oh well, I guess it's open to interpretation, which is generally how I like my Twin Peaks haha...The Dream Man wrote:Right after Sarah Palmer tells Maj. Briggs her message and we see Dale walking down the hallway, according to Netflix the LMFAP says "I'm waiting for you." Is that really from the LMFAP? It sounds nothing him.
One thought about the Little Man conveying a message to Briggs through Sarah. This would be generally consistent with his activities in Fire Walk With Me, where he uses Annie - simultaneously in two different times - to convey the message that the good Cooper is in the Lodge (and thus, Bob is out in the world). At least I'm pretty sure it's the Little Man, since both times the green ring accompanies the message and almost seems to symbolize the passage of this information about Bob's whereabouts (just as it does when the one-armed man flashes the ring in traffic and says "it's your father!" or when we first see the ring on Teresa's finger after she sees Leland's discomfort).
