Season 1, Episode 02: Zen, or the Skill to Catch a Killer — April 19–25, 1990

Spoilers abound... get out now!



Well this was certainly an interesting episode (directed by Lynch too!).
I watched intently since I don't have a VCR, and have a whold bunch of
comments.

    It interesting that nobody on the net noticed all the "J"s that Laura
could have been referring to in her diary.  (At least I never saw a posting
mentioning that idea.)  I liked Cooper's stone throwing escapade.  I think
the last throw that broke the bottle would have been more dramatic if he
hadn't told Lucy to note that it didn't break.  Kinda looks like they're
still trying to make Leo look guilty.  I think it was a nice twist the way
that the "Jack with one eye" was erased from the list.  I'm attributing the
broken bottle to this entry from Cooper's list!  Also interesting was that
Jerry Horne _wasn't_ on the list.

     Someone mentioned the possibility of Donna's father (Will) being the
killer.  This idea is looking good considering the strange way he asked
James if he was going to go to church with them.  Being religious, he
wouldn't have liked Laura's lifestyle. (BTW, now we know that this episode
occurred on a Saturday.  Was the day revealed in the pilot or last weeks
episode?)

     I liked the use of the flashlights in the woods.  I don't understand
how the football ended up on the hood of the car, unless there was another
football.  The one they pulled out of the tree was on the ground at their
feet.  There's no way Leo or the person behind the tree could have beat
Bobby and Mike back to the car.

     I thought shot of Laura's picture with blood all over it was powerful.
What an excellent idea.  I kind of suspected that it would break, but
didn't anticipate the blood.

     Why did Cooper blow that whistle before the phone rang?  He seemed to
know that someone was going to call.

     Nadine (the one eyed lady) is pretty strong judging from the way she
destroyed that rowing machine.  She's also psychotic.

Stuart Lynne (sl@wimsey.bc.ca) wrote "And the ending is just weird."

     I'll say!  What was with this?  All the red, Cooper's appearance, and
the almost backwards words made it very hell-like.  I couldn't make any
sense of it at all.  Any takers?

     Pete's remark about "fish trouble" made me laugh.

     Drat!  No Log Lady this week.

Did you notice...

     ...the donut setup (again) next to the blackboard.

     ...the ominous turn the music took just before Donna and James kissed?
It seemed "lighter" until they decided they loved each other.  Hmmmm.

     ...the way Audry was rubbing her hand around the rim of the coffee cup
as she talked about Cooper?  What's with that "dance" of her's too?

     ...that Lucy was reading a book on Tibet when "Albert and the team"
(that's A-L-B-E-R-T) arrived at the police station?  Gotta love these
details.  (Harry told him off good too!)

    And some other comments:

     Remember there are 51,201 people in Twin Peaks.  I wouldn't expect the
Sheriff to assume that Pete recognized the body.  Seems OK to me.

Michael J. Carlin (carlin@gandalf.nosc.mil) mentions the Norwegians.

     This has some potential.  To them, Audry's mentioning the murder
would scare Sven if he did it.  Somehow, though, I don't think they're who
Cooper's going to "reveal" in the morning.

   Ooops!  I reread the last post once, but not closely enough.  When I
mentioned the stone throwing, I meant that the last throw would have been
more dramatic if Cooper hadn't told Lucy to note that the stone thrown for
Jacoby didn't break the bottle.  I was expecting it to break eventually
after that comment.

   I've got to keep reminding myself "proofread, proofread..."

We have all missed the obvious in the initial  conversation Pete (I think his
name was Pete) had with Truman when Pete found the body.

He said, "She's dead."

Not: "It's a dead body" or "Someone was murdered" but, "She's dead."
                                                        ---
Note:  Pete did not touch the body.
       The body was face down, and wrapped in opaque plastic.
      
How did Pete know the sex of the body?

Also, when Pete found the body, all he said (if memory serves.  I do not have 
the pilot on tape.) was "Oh my" as if he meant to say "oops".  To me this
implies that he at least knew that Laura had been murdered, but wanted to
cover his tracks after finding her washed up in front of his home.  He seems
like an excitable kind of guy who would be effected more by a body showing
up on his doorstep this way.

Also note that Peter (I hope that is his name) has a T and R, though not in the
way that makes Truman a suspect.  Could the Feds have missed a crime or two?

Anyway, Ol' Pete has jumped to the top of my lists of suspects.

How did the fish get in the coffee?  Did he suddenly get nervous when the 
police showed up on his doorstep and accidentally drop it in there?

Ever play baseball?   :-)

What is the deal with all this nose touching?  Does anyone have the slightest
idea why it is significant?

Bri

Did anyone notice that either Ben or Jerry said that there's a new girl behind
the perfume counter at one-eyed-jack's, and that Ronette just quit her job
behind the perfume counter at the department store? Coincidence?

Also, how come noone's mentioned the music? I think it makes the show.

Did anyone catch that the distance measured for Cooper to throw the rocks was
60'6"? It's a nice touch, if insignificant.

Last night's episode was the best yet.

More ramblings to follow.

When Laura's father was dancing with her picture, the song being played
was the one that keeps repeating (with telephone ring) Pennsylvania 6-5000.

Can anyone out there who listens to this kind of music gloss this for me?
Perhaps it is significant?

When we saw Doc Jacoby in either the previous episode or the pilot,
he was clearly wearing two huge things (in both ears, of course).

My guess is that they were earplugs. Dr. Jacoby is a psychotherapist.
And it looks like he works on a locked ward. Ever been on a locked
ward? Sometimes it gets noisy.

And I wouldn't be surprised if the Twin Peaks area had a crowded,
noiser psych ward than most places.

Yeah this was my impression--actually 2nd impression, the 1st
you mention below. The Dwarf's reference to "Laura" not being
Laura, but his "Cousin" kinda reminds me of references I
have heard--cannot remember from where--from older men when referring
to young girls (Laura is obviously jailbate); they refer to the
young girl that they are with as being their "niece," "cousin"
to hide their real reasons for being with them.

Also, what exactly was that cloudy like
shadow that floated by; I could not quite make out the shape,
it seemed important since the camera focused in on for some
time.

This was my 1st impression--though I watched the show after midnight
and was in a strange mood.  It just seemed to me that the whole
speech of the One-Armed Man referred to a dark side and that a
magician, ie Agent Copper, would be able to transcede time
if he followed that line: Fire  Walk through me.  I
thought that Copper actually had an out-of-body, as a result of
his connection with Eastern religion, and actually was outside of
time in some satanic world.  

Then the reference "...but sometimes my arm bends back" is a
reference to the fact that she is dead, and she has some recognition
to her earthly state, except for a her uncontrolled desire to bend
her arms back, a result from being bound and tied???


As, someone mention the strange reaction of her father. That
interested me. I did not find it strange until his wife started
screaming "what is going on in this house." I could not understand if she was
referring to his reactions, or was emotional about Laura's death.
I then kinda wondered about Laura's dad's relationship to Laura:
was it pure, or maybe since he worked for Horne--who along
with his brother appeared to be having sex with Laura, for when
Horne told his brother that she was dead, he went on to mention
that there was another fresh face at One-Eyed Jacks--somehow
he set Laura up with Horne to secure his job.  Thus the whole
scene of him breaking the picture and cutting his hand, and
the blooded hand print over her face.


Another thing which I found erry was Copper's reluctiness
to get the murder that night.  In the dream--which I still
cannot decide was a dream or some strange otherwordly
reality--Laura appeared to come on to him.  I was wondering
if he wanted to go back to sleep to fulfill whatever she
was offering him, ie herself.

And lastly--All the clues. I got the impression that the
One-Arm Man put theme there to guide Copper to the murder.

well- sorry for my wild speculations...
if you want to ignore this: do so; if you want to
flame me: do so, I am an email masochist.

It is hard to believe that some people would not recognize
the great Glenn Miller song Pennsylvania-65000.  There is
nothing mysterious about this song.  The repeating of the phrase
"Pennsylvania 65000" after a phone rings in the song is just
the phone number of the hotel where the song is set. (I forget
which hotel it is exactly). Way back the phone numbers gave
the exchange followed by some numbers. Some of you are just
trying to read something into everything. Not everything is
a symbol.

A 'Peaks' peek:

David Lynch's "Twin Peaks" has gotten off to such a
spectacular start that ABC has already ordered several
more scripts for fall. What's still to be determined is
whether Lynch will be at the helm of any more episodes.
"IT depends on his schedule," says Mark Frost, co-
executive producer of "Peaks," which airs Thursday nights.


--well this is good news, now let's hope that Lynch will
be around, can't wait 'til fall.

Well, other inconsistencies are
1) EXACTLY what state line can you walk across near the coast in Washington?
   You could cross an international border, but not a state line.
2) Bleach bottles, condoms and such are comparatively rare on Northwest beaches.   It is too cold to use the beaches for most activities most of the year (copuu   lating in anything lighter than a mummy bag is a challenge except in the summ   er in most of the beaches in Oregon and Washington. However, one would expect
   some stinky seaweed or kelp to be present, and some wet wood.
3) I think one exterior shot may have been of the lodge near Snoqualmie Falls.
   Anyone share this opinion? 

Anyway, It doesn't take much of a tide to return a body. Wonder where the
hungry crabs were, though.

Perhaps this is just Lynch's shorthand for rural life?  I had
chalked up all the tree imagery in Blue Velvet to humor/emphasizing
rural setting.  (At the sound of the falling tree....)

We see a lot of trees, lumber, sawmill, log lady, deer heads, antlers,
and Big Ed's Gas Farm.  Anyone care to read in something deep and
meaningful into either the antlers or the wood?  (how about the wood
in Blue Velvet?)  Like I said, I think it's just there to remind us
visually that we aren't in New York.

The gentleman who directed the second episode was Lynch's editor.

on an album, but I can't figure out where...

Interesting.  I must point out that in that coconut was AN other half
of Larua Palmer's broken heart necklace.  Apparently she used that line
on more than one unsuspecting male libido.  We know it couldn't be the
same other half since James buried his and I seriously doubt the doc
could have found it in one day.

Apparently Laura was bangin Audrey's father as well - evidenced by
the scene with her and Laura's best friend (name?) in the diner

I watched the third episode a third time just to listen to the
music.  As you know there are a few themes that have been
repeated throughout the show.  There is, of course, the show's
Theme music, a synthesizer laden dreamy deep melody.  There's
also a "love theme" that is played while James and Donna kiss and
when Leland cries over Laura's picture.  Consider the ominous theme.
This is played when Ben and Jerry take the boat to the One Eyed Jack,
when Pete hands over the key to Josey, and strangely enough it plays when
Donna says to James, "James, will we be together?" as if to foreshadow.

There's als what I'll call Audrey's theme which she plays on the
jukebox in the diner.  Its a jazzy modern jazzz piece that uses
discordancy especially when Audry asks Donna what she knew about
her father's relationship with  Laura ("He used to sing to her").
The dream sequence is a mishmash of various themes but the dance
tune is not Audrey's theme.

I notice that the show's main theme isn't played at all in thie third
episode but is predominate in the 2nd show...

No one has discussed what the little person in Cooper's dream meant
about "That gum you like is coming back in style", either.

Just someone's ramblings...

That's GOOD.  I hadn't thought of it, but I really LIKE the dwarf
as Dali Lama.

Mine favorite is from Cooper:
"They got a Cherry pie there ... that'll KILL ya"

#2 from episode 3  Harry S. Truman to Walter from the FBI:
".. Some stranger walks in here talking like that and he'd
be seraching for his ears? two blocks down on Gay street"
or something like that.  Got him the smiling thumbs up from Cooper.

Bringing us to an interesting discontinuity.
Walter and his boys showed up, ready for a full days work - he
even told his team that it might be an all nighter.

Next thing you know Cooper is going to sleep and having his dream.

So what did they do all day.  Judging from the progress they've made
a full days work turns up a SHITLOAD of information and new plot twists.

Well, if she got pregnant from someone (and there are lots of people out there
to blame for that), depending on who did it, it might be a little awkward
for everyone else to find out.  This could have been a motive.

Just quick thought after having read this newgroup

  Yes I noticed that, but so what? You say it's a nice touch, but what does it

Diane, this is great!  I have developed a rigorous, complex and unduly nested
SQL query to determine from these facts who the murderer actually is.  It takes
into account every finite detail available and determines exactly what is going
on.  I have processed the answer set to this query and have narrowed down the
suspects and I can come to only one inevitable conclusion, that being, that
the murderer is...

Richard Kimball

You see, he was lying all along, there never really was a one-armed man at his
house that night his wife was killed...

The only problem is, how are we going to get the late David Janssen (was he a
Norwegian?) to play the part of the murderer?

Oh yes, by the way, it was DAMN good coffee.

  It's nothing as complex as that... David Lynch simply had them move and walk
backwards, as well as saying their lines backwards (phonetically). Probably
took a hell of a lot of time... Anyways, once that was done, the film was ran in
reverse when put on videotape, so that the result was the eerie voices and
movements... 
  While this sounds rather hard, a much more complex sequence in a movie was
done in exactly the same way, except the reversed speech was meant to sound like
german so the acters just spoke a sort of inversed mock-German... It was in
the movie "Top Secret", done by the same producers and writers of "Airplane!"

  David Lynch is good, but even Blue Velvet doesn't disturb me... Depress, yes,
but I am difficult to offend and/or disturb...
  Cooper just looked old, standard wrinkle make-up... I don't think this dream
was supposed to be so much a nightmare as some sort of premonition/clairevoyant
function that Cooper has developed... maybe he even expected it, after the rock
throwing ritual he went through.
  It's a funny thing, but whenever I have a dream or nightmare, it's simply
indistinguishable from reality... there's never any distortion, except where my
memory fails...

I find this highly unlikely.  For one thing Ben never mentioned that
Ronette had been injured while discussing Laura and One Eyed Jack's.
Also, if she was employed in the brothel then why would she have to
advertize as an independent in the magazine.

Someone asked about that line in the dream sequence "the gum you
liked..."  Here's a guess (thanks to whoever posted that listing of
the text).  The stuff in square brackets is my concocting:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dwarf:I've got good news.
That gum you like is going to come back in style.

[P.K.s = Peaks]

She's my cousin.

But doesn't she look almost exactly like
Laura Palmer?

[looks exactly like = Twin]

Cooper: But, it is Laura Palmer.
Are you Laura Palmer?

Laura: I feel like I know her, but sometimes my arms bend back.

[= ??]

Dwarf:She's filled with secrets

[= Twin Peaks is filled with secrets but some word?]

Where we're from, the birds sing a pretty song
And there's always music in the air.

[= dreamy music in many sequences about town life?]
---------------------------------------------------------------------

If I were just looking for something general I would say that the
girl represent the town telling its secrets to Cooper.  But if there
is a code here, the backwards-as-forwards dialogue suggests that the
message should be read backwards (?..secrets?..?..Twin..Peaks).  But this
may all be reaching into nothing.  When you start reading parts of the show 
at this level its hard to stop reading it all this way!  This is not, after
all, James Joyce.  Stop me before I guess again!

Just a quick question: What was that shadow supposed to by that we see
fly by along the red curtain during the dream sequence?

Thanks to Chris Andersen for the summary of the really weird and very
impressive dream sequence.  

Now, I know this is cliche and all, but I am the only one who feels that
when morning comes, Cooper is not going to get to tell the sheriff who
killed Laura?  

John Walsh
jw4l@andrew.cmu.edu

When the bartender in the bordello picks up the phone, right after the
Horne-y brothers arrive outside, doesn't the voice on the other end call
her "Cat"?  Reaching now, maybe she got a "new" collar because she was
promoted to being bartender from the rank and file -- most/all the other
girls had some sort of collar-like neck wear, to match their costumes.
So maybe we're looking for a recently-deceased bartender, rather than a
r-d working girl.

Theory: Laura got bumped off because she was on the verge of perfecting
a one-hundred percent silent drape runner.  The $10,000 was for building
the prototype.  Also note the prevalence of the drape/curtain imagery
in the bordello (where Laura perfected her art?) and in the dream
sequence.

Audrey is rather emotionally detached from anything that doesn't result
from her own actions.  If she's had anything to do with the murder, her
reaction would have been more like her reaction to the Norwegians leaving.

  No, it was just because he was playing a specific song on the record that was
towards the end... Because of his comments on "we have to dance for Laura", it
was probably a favorite song of hers, or maybe a song he and Laura used to
dance to when she was a kid...
  But no, it wasn't tracking outwards.

There were very distinct backward echoes in the speech.  That is, the
effect you get by taping sound, reversing it, adding an echo, and then
re-reversing it, so that the echo comes before the sound.  This would
also be compatible with performing in reverse, as has been suggested.
However, I think that a deliberately strange inflection and possibly
(as my friend Chris suggests) some pitch-bending would account for it,
and it would be a lot less work.

  Actually, that wouldn't do her as much good as making the Sawmill look like
it's loosing more money than it actually is, because 1) she could keep the extra
money, and 2) could recover easily if Josie sells it and Jerry (the landowner)
buys... And based on a conversation jerry and Catherine had in the first episode
(or was it the movie?) I'm pretty sure the books are being manipulated to make
it look like the Sawmill is LOSING money.

Some more of my observations/comments..

1) After the 4/19 episode can we agree that the man that Laura's
mother 'saw' behind the bed was killer Bob.  The man in the vision
had long grey hair.  While both Leo and Hawk have long hair, their's
is brown.  Killer Bob is the only character we'e seen so far that has 
both long and grey hair.

2) Can anyone say (or guess) what the blood stained cloth that Cooper
and Truman were looking at before Albert arrived really is.  All I
saw was a small white towel with blood on it, with a particularly
dark spot near the center.

3) "But sometimes my arms bend back".  Any connection to the real
one armed man (left arm) or Mike in the dream sequence (right arm only).
Perhaps it's Laura's way of telling us that one of her arms are bent
back and she is either good (right arm only: meals on wheels, Johnny
Horn, teaching Josey, etc) or bad (left arm only: cocaine, prostitution)
and perhaps, she can't control it.

4) Someone mentioned a while back that they spoke to the co-producers brother
whose meaningful, but non-obvious clue was something to the effect of
"look for the connection between Cooper and the Dalai Lama".  Can
someone knowledgable please post some more info about the real Dalai Lama.

5) Letter sequences.  Some people are guessing that the letters found
under the dead girls nails (T? and R) are going to spell out TRUMAN.
No killer, not even a phsycotic (which Truman is not) would do that.

6) Cooper in the dream:  He was simply old, not plastic.  This _could_
lend some weight to someone's theory that the killers (and the two men
in the dream sequence) are really Mike and Bobby returned from the 
future.  Personally I doubt it.  Lynch seems to keep to the realm of
the weird, but possible.  Maybe Lynch is a time-traveller?

7) Who wrote the Jack with one Eye note to Cooper?  Cooper smelled
the note, and a hint of recognition crossed his face.  Twin Peaks
does not strike me as the kind of town where men wear cologne, so
I'm sure it's a woman who wrote it.  Also the writing was female.
Johnny couldn't have written it, he appears far too retarded (from
what we have seen, but have we seen the real Johnny?)  My guess is
that it was Audrey who is seemingly in love with Cooper.

Favorite quote from Episode 3: "Damn, we had those vikings by the Horns."

General Question:  I wonder if Lynch knows of all the excitement
Twin Peaks is generating on the net.  100+ messages per day between
r.a.t and a.t.t-p.  Maybe someone could get him on the net.  I'm sure
he'd get a real kick out of our picking the show to death.  I'm not
sure if I'd want him to post though.  Would what he reveals be more
than made up by what he added to our understanding?

Personal Note to All Posters:  Thanks to everyone who is posting.  For
me half the fun in watching the show is the speculation/analysis that
is going on here.  This is the closest I've ever gotten to interactive
fiction.  Yes we can't change the ending, but the story changes every
day as someone posts a new theory, and more (ir)relevant details are
discussed interactively.

'Twin Peaks' to end with murder unsolved

Who killed Laura Palmer? The question is on the minds of many viewers of
"Twin Peaks," the popular TV murder mystery by David Lynch and Mark Frost on
ABC.
When the series ends its scheduled seven-week run, the killer of the Twin
Peaks high school student will remain unnamed.
The murderer's identity, it seems, has been left to video.
A "closed-ended" tape version of the two-hour first installment of the
series has been released by Warner Home Video with a 15-minute addendum by
Lynch and Frost that solves the crime.
The problem is that the video is available only in Europe. Warner is not
saying when, if ever, "Twin Peaks" the video will be released in this country.

-end quote-

Attributed to "Tribune wire services"

This implies to me that there must be enough clues in the movie alone to
justify, if not prove, who the killer is. Of course, they could always pick
a different killer for the movie-only version and for the TV series. I'm
also confused how clues and action can unfold for 8 or 9 hours (does the 7
episodes include the movie or not?) and still not reveal the killer, yet
remain relevant.
Does anyone know how many more episodes ABC has ordered? And does anyone
have any idea if the murder will be solved at all (with another crime or
such to occupy further episodes) or if it will just keep on remaining unsolved,
yet still investigated?

I may be totally off on this (imagine that in THIS series), but I would
place the simple significance to the finger snapping of agent Cooper
(along with the music in the background, and the idea that the killer
could wait until the morning) as him wanting to get back into the dream.
After all, he was making out with the beutiful Laura before she told him
something (presumably the killers name).

The guy could have some hormones you know, and dreams are very real and
important to him.

I want to know why  Cooper would have a dream/vision of Laura's mom running
down the stairs. Why is this relevent? If it is, then how would he see it
unless Laura's mom herself is sending him this message? That makes sense
because we know she is psychic becasue she jumped when the guy in the
woods reached for the necklace. (Others assume that her vision of Killer Bob
was a vision, but maybe she actually saw him once.)

The comment he made in Catherine's bedroom seemed to imply that he
thought she put it there (as a prank?).  At any rate, if he did it out
of nervousness, he certainly wouldn't tell the cops about it, thus
betraying that nervousness.

  Let's see...there's Blackjack, Beemans, Teabury.  No.  How about Double-

your arms bend back?  Of course!  Laura had a twin (or a double), who was

Some of the music in Twin Peaks is available on an album by Julee Cruise
called Floating Into The Night. I have a cassette copy but I know it's
also on CD. I first heard a copy six months ago. It's on Warner Bros.

One song,"Falling," is used for the opening titles of Twin Peaks except
that the vocals have been removed. Ms. Cruise appeared in the pilot, as
the girl singer in the place where the fight breaks out. Her song "The
Nightingale" (on the album) was included in the show, and I believe one
other. Can someone check the credits of the pilot? I think I saw two
song titles.

The album's lyrics were by Lynch and music by Angelo Badalamenti. It was
produced by these two also. It's very ethereal, similiar to much of the
music in Twin Peaks. Also it's sometimes quirky and strange. There are
some simple photos by Lynch with the album. Sorry but I don't know how
you can get the album if you can't find it in a store. I couldn't find
it in Berkeley which means it's pretty hard to find. I assume there will
be a soundtrack album, does anyone know? I have no background info 
on Cruise or Badalamenti.

The "one-armed man" has appeared in the credits but I'm not sure 
where he appeared. Was it the scene in the hospital?

Was the dream sequence exactly the same thing that was shown in 
Europe at the end of the pilot? Time Magazine stated that the Euro 
sequence "seemed to give away the end."

I like the dream sequence because it really seems like a dream, 
unlike most dream sequences you see which involve foggy lenses. The 
most memorable effect was the midget rustling with his back turned. 
Otherwordly.

Could Twin Peaks be the most-taped show in history, that is, if you 
divide the number of tapers divided by total number of viewers?

The scene that introduces Dr. Jacoby is hilarious not just because 
of Dr. Jacoby but because of the grave attitude of Cooper and Truman 
by contrast. I thought the scene of Mr. Palmer spinning around with 
the photo was also hilarious, though I'm not sure it was intended to 
be.

Has anyone written sypnoses for the episodes? It would be a useful 
piece of reference.

Everyone's been commenting about the "bend back" line.
Any ideas what it meant when the dwasrf told Cooper that "the gum you
like is coming back in style."

By the way, sixty feet six inches is the distance from the pitcher's rubber
to home plate.  Geez - doesn't anyone watch baseball?

  About the infamous "gum" line the dwarf recites in the dream sequence at
the end of weekly episode #2: we heard from another poster that Laura's cousin,
who looks a lot like her, is going to come into the picture soon.  Hmmmm ....
Sort of a "twin" for Laura, two pretty blonde twins.  Gum.  Maybe the gum that
Cooper liked is Double-Mint gum?

As a Film-Studies major at Emory, I was intrigued by the use of back
masking in Thursday's episode.  In consultation with Dr. David Cook 
(author of Narrative Hist. of Film), we determined that both the 
acting and dialogue must have been conducted in reverse during
the dream sequence. This was blatently obvious, but the point is -- 
was this to delineate this sequence merely as dream?  Does this   
correspond with Lynchs
vision a la Blue Velvet? Is reality a dream -- the world is so
strange, says Laura Dern.  Were the killers revealed in the dream 
or in the woodlands sequence (bottles/ rock)?  What was the flash
of blood at the beginning of the ending dream sequence -- Laura's blood/
killer's?

"Twin Peaks" has many running symbols, perhaps the most pervasive being the 
act of DANCING.

Laura and Donna danced in the video.
Audrey Horn dances CONSTANTLY to her "dreamy music".
Mr. Palmer danced with Laura's photograph.
The "Man From Another Place" himself spent most of his time dancing.

Coffee, and coffeepots appear in nearly every setting. The diner, the hotel, 
every domestic kitchen, at the sawmill, and of course the embarrassing 
incident with the fish-in-the-percolator. Cooper raves about the 
"incredible" coffee at the Great Northern. In episode #3, Lucy offers the 
men a "warm up" cup - and they dive for it wholeheartedly. Add to this the 
visual gag of anally-retented stacks of organized donuts and the myth of 
cops-and-donuts, and you've got one mighty comical parody.

As for Cooper's dream sequence, the first thing I noticed right away was the 
similarity between the setting of the dream room to the setting/style of 
Dorothy Vallens' apartment in "Blue Velvet". The red curtains, the hidden 
(or at least out-of-view) entrance, the single lamp shining upward, and the 
one "strange" element: the statue.

My interpretation brings Dale Cooper into the womb of Laura Palmer. (the 
soft velvet curtains could very well by associated with the intra-uterine 
lining of a birth canal (with apologies to biologists who know the 
appropriate terms). Cooper's skin was indeed wrinkled somewhat - as if he 
himself were not ready to be born, not ready to leave the uterus until 
completion. (of his dream, perhaps? of solving the mystery, perhaps?)

Laura Palmer looked more beautiful and mysterious in his dream than she had 
ever looked in real life (or in the eyes of those who offered their own 
interpretation). I suppose the Man From Another Place, with his dancing, 
rhythmic hand-rubbing and obscured speech could very well symbolize the 
whole "mystery" itself. It's SO HARD to offer interpretation without 
sneaking a peak ahead. 

I've also made a 25-cent side bet with an acquaintance of mine that we will 
indeed be seeing more of those "chocolate bunnies".

As for the mounted animal head with horns that "fell", my first reaction was 
that it was simply David Lynch forcing an ambiguously uncomfortable presence 
into an otherwise routine occurance. The whole series seems to be about 
"getting under your skin" - the letter [R] under Laura's ring finernail runs 
parallel to the ants fighting it out under the grass lawn in "Blue Velvet".

I don't know WHAT to make of the One Armed Man, and I'm really quite curious 
as to why he and Dr. Jacoby are so interested in gloating over Laura's 
corpse. (Incidentally, the One Armed Man has appeared in all the episodes to 
date. He stepped BRIEFLY out of an elevator in the hospital in the season 
opener).

Who is the mysterious "DIANE" that Cooper dictates to? The two most common 
assumptions: his secretary (who must do SOMETHING with his transcripts), or 
something maybe a little stranger: a deceased wife who he still attempts to 
communicate with (but that's treading into "Planes, Trains and Automobile" 
territory, and Lynch probably knows we'd guess THAT). I thought for a while 
it could have been the name of his CASSETTE PLAYER - but cancelled that 
straight away when Cooper directed a comment to Diane telling her that "if 
she ever came up this way," she should try the cherry pie.

The murder mystery will run 7 episodes. At the end of #7, the mystery will 
be solved (hopefully in an episode directed by Lynch), and a NEW mystery 
will begin. If ABC decides not to pick up the show, we'll be left hanging 
and we'll NEVER know what happens.

I definitely like the direction the series is going.

Proof that Lynch (or at least Cooper :-) and I share the same brand of
hellish dreamworks . . . I don't have them very often, thank god, but
when I have nightmares of the kind that don't go away for a few
minutes, EVEN AFTER I WAKE UP (cf. Cooper's finger-snapping to the
dream-music after calling Sheriff Truman), they're always populated
with nonsensical, eerie, smoothly-floating objects of that nature.  I'm
going to have a little trouble getting to sleep tonight just thinking
about it.

Spoiler follows:

This is, of course, proof that *I* killed Laura Palmer.  I'll be turning
up in Episode 6 -- the Nosy Reporter who swipes Cooper's jelly donut.

  Well it was not totally opaque, it was semi-transparent. In fact, I think it
was supposed to be covered with dew. This is probably so that the network would
allow a naked dead body to be "seen" on national TV. It was pretty apparent to
ME, when the showed the body in the plastic, that it was female, even before
Pete went off to call the police. He didn't touch the body, but he looked at
it pretty closely...

  I think his reaction is more part of his character than any sort of special
knowledge of the murder. It would be quite absurd for him to go call the sherrif
if he found the body and had been the murder. He would have instead pushed the
body back into the water or tried to dispose of it in some other way.

  I don't know, but I think the implication, in last weeks episode, was that
Catherine was responsible for putting it in the coffee... Or perhaps Pete is
just rather absent minded. He does seem to be slightly senile...

  Donna's father asked DONNA if she was going to go to church with them, not

  Huh?? Didn't you hear Leo say "Go out for a pass" while he was holding the
football? Then, when the guys got back to the car, the football suddenly landed
on the hood. Leo is apparently a pretty good quarterback...

  He was just playing with it... He had started carving the whistle in the
pilot and was probably testing the sound quality. THe fact that the phone rang
right afterwards was just a coincidence, probably one of those David Lynch 
"Let's be subliminal" deals...

  Yeah I noticed that, I thought it was pretty funny. The acter playing albert
is a pleasant surprise. Did you notice how much he looks and sounds just like
Sgt. Joe Friday (Jack Webb) of "Dragnet"?? My mother actually thought it was
him at first, but once she mentioned it, I was startled by the similarity. Just
coincidence?

  I believe the Norwegians left simply because they were not interested in
buying land and living in a town where some sort of bizarre murder had just
taken place... remember, they were interested in Twin Peaks for it's ruralness
and country living...

ABC has ordered more episodes for the fall. However, in an interview I
heard with Lynch on the radio he said the killer may never be revealed. He said
it isn't relevent to the series or the story. From what he said it appears he
intentds to continue by focusing on different events and people without ever
necessarily solving this crime. As a matter of fact, he stated that he would
love to do an entire TV series on the log lady alone! (She's his favorite
character).

I think all this would follow most closely to all the speculation on this
news group about which avenue Lynch will most likely take to break the
convention of TV. The thing that would break convention to the highest degree
would be to not ever solve the mystery. And for all those people out there
getting ready to whine about not being given a pat answer to the mystery, 
think of the Prisoner and how it has survived over the years. Was that ever
solved in some pat conclusion? 

I think this all points to the fact that the European version will NEVER be
available. It is my understanding that he only did a closed ended version out
of contractual obligations in Europe. They aren't showing the series there,
they only have the tape. Since the entire series is being shown here there is
no reason to ever release the tape here. I think that will make that tape a
hot and much sought after item here in the U.S.

    Why did you say spoilers abound?  Everything you said in your message
was either a recap of the already broadcast episode or your own speculation.
Is my definition of spoiler (as applied to TP: saying anything about the

Looking at the tape it seems that the football lands on the hood of the car
juts as Mike and Bobby reach the car.  Leo would make one hell of a 
quarterback.  Maybe he ran after them, and then threw it, or more probably
its just Lynchian weirdness following up on Leo's order/threat to 
"go out for a pass Bobby".

Does anyone out there agree that Ed and sheriff Truman must have something
going on that they don't want Cooper to know about?  As I recall, when Ed
told Truman about that mickey the bartender slipped him (#2), he didn't want
Truman to overhear.  Could someone with a VCR check this?

Other points I'm very curious about but have yet to see speculation on are, 
why Laura broke up with James *that*night*, and who that guy in the woods
with Leo was.  Any ideas?

-- Brad Music / Low baud rate plea: cite only directly pertinent U o' C / stuff, and use short signatures.

Does anyone out there remember the teaser commercials for Twin Peaks BEFORE
the pilot was on? There was a scene, which I remember vividly from this
commercial in which Cooper and Truman bust into what looked like a small
log cabin. We see the one armed man standing there and they shout "Hands up!
Put your hands in the air." I remember it vividly becuase it seemed hilarious
to me at the time to be shouting hands up to this one armed man.

Maybe this scene is from the European version. Maybe it is a scene still to
come. Does anyone else remember this?

Wood is by far the overwhelming stylistic motif for the show. 
Practically every room is done in sepia wood panelling.  I remember from
the NPR interview Lynch said that this was very deliberate, almost
trying to help set a 90's style away from the chrome and black 80's.

The idea that there may be more than one necklace is intriguing, but if I'm not
mistaken, in the flashback scene in which Laura gave half a heart to James
Hurley, she separated the heart thing into two pieces before doing so.  

Also (a nit, but maybe not) the heart pieces were not separated down the middle
as shown above, but (I think) in a jagged line fashion so that the separating
edge of each piece looked like a mountain range... each having a... peak?  :-?

BTW, on a totally unrelated topic, was I the only one in the country who
thought that the bloody rag, when first displayed, had been folded in a
somehwat, um, provocative configuration?

I think we may be missing something even more important.  If you listen very
closely to what was said, you hear that he is saying:

"She's dead, JIM."

This sheds a whole new light on everything.  Perhaps the reason Audrey did not
react emotionally to Laura's death was because she is a Vulcan.  Perhaps Laura
had been split in two via a transporter accident into the "good" Laura and the
"bad" Laura.  Perhaps the donuts are actually tribbles.

The possibilities are endless.

He was whittling it while he and Sheriff Truman were staking out
the Roadhouse.  What else can you do in a town where a yellow
light still means "slow down?"

Last night I watched the pilot episode again. The first
character we see is Josie Packard applying makeup while looking
in the mirror...her expression is definitely not that of
someone going through a morning routine.  She looks disturbed
and of course the device of having a character look in a mirror
implies introspection.  I think she knew the body was going to
be discovered.

An interesting twist at this point would be to have the
blood stains found at the abandoned railway car *not* match
the blood types of either Laura or Ronette.

With regard to speculation about the football scene among some of the posters:

  I thought that Leo's saying "Go out for a pass" after offhandedly remarking
about someone banging his wife in his absence, then saying something like "I'll
take care of it", with the football appearing on the hood of Bobby's car was
his [Leo's] way of saying "I can get you anytime I want", which would fit in
with him being able to make a pass like that in the dark!

Other posters have also noted the similarities to The Dream Laura's "arms bend
back" comment, and what Nadine did (!) to the rowing machine; I also thought
there was a great degree of similarity between Nadine's and T.D. Laura's head
and facial movements in those scenes; what that means, I Don't Know!  The dream
sequence in general blew me away!

As to the Man From Another Place's exclamatory "Let's rock!":  what about the
obvious connection between that statement, and Cooper's actions which [pre-
sumably] propitiated (sp?) the dream?

Great series!

Still trying to read the backwards-as-forwards part of the dream 
sequence as a coded message.  In an earlier posting I suggested that
the gum was P.K.s gum.  This was named after P.K. Wrigley, as I recall.
I checked with one Canadian of Lynch vintage, and the brand was well
known before it disappeared. P.K.s gives us the word "Peaks," 
and the "looks almost exacly like" may be code for
"Twin."  Now I am wondering if the part with Laura touching her
nose followed by the shadow flowing behind the curtain is nose..shadow,
or "shadow knows."  So the coded message is (...Twin Peaks...shadow knows..)
But I'm stuck on the rest.  The notion that "arms bend back" has something
to do with elbows (or Le beau, les beaux) is clever, but doesn't 
seem right.   The arms bend **back**, not just bend. 

Who was it that popularized the term "Let's rock?"

About the football players,
since when do high school football squads practice (twice a day??!!)
in FEBRUARY??? I said twice a day because we see them practicing in the
early morning instead of after school.

This underlines a theme(?) I've seen through the series: the mismanagement
of >>time<<. I assume this is intentional on Lynch's part:

In Laura Palmer's diary we see "Ran three miles today. Boy am I exhausted"
In addition she tutors Josey twice a week in English, tutors Johnny Horne
three times a week, helps with a meals on wheels, is homecoming queen
(which must mean she was a Senior (age=17) and therefore Bobby also must
be a Senior, spoiled brat she was, so why is he practicing in Feb??)

Where does Laura find the time for all these (legitimate) extra-curricular
activities in addition to her illegitimate activities.
Mayhaps she died of exhaustion...

Also raising questions to me is the timing for the Tibetan baseball game.
Was that in the late afternoon, evening? Was it before or after the
meeting of Bobby & Mike with Leo in the woods. (Damn good Coke Classic!
Wish I had taped the show though.)

All these temporal inconsistencies suggest to me that perhaps the 
speculation about One armed Mike & Killer Bob = Mike & Bob from the future
just might, and I repeat this not merely as a software engineer but as
a science fiction fan, just might be sniffing up the right trail.

Damn good Coke Classic.  Give me a Twinkie.

No, he whittled that whistle.  He commented on the stake out of the
Road House that he was whittling because that was the kind of thing
people up there do.

Whoa!  Wait a sec.  I think you're diving a little too deep.  You remind me
of my high school Lit teacher reading Lord of the Flies.  I'm sure there are
plenty of clues hidden in the dream sequence, but I think you are on a wild
goose chase.

I personally like the notion that the gum is Wrigley's Doublemint and the 
dwarf is referring to Laura's twin.

Fresh from the Phonolog at Tower Records, here are some specifics which
may help those searching for the album:

Artist: Julee Cruise
Title: Floating into the night
Label: Warner Bros.
Catalog numbers: (LP) 1-25859
                 (CD) 2-25859
                 (CS) 4-25859

Couldn't find it in the shelves of course, but they suggested calling
Towers special order number 1-800-648-4844 in NY. Hope the info is of
some use.

Sounded to me like the actors SAID the words backwords and then they
played it back in reverse.  There was a guy on I think, Letterman
one night who could instantly say words and phrases backwords.
To make sure he wasn't just speaking gibberish, they taped what he
said, and played it back in reverse and sure enough, it was
understandable, if not a little surreal, much as The Man From
Nowhere's poem.

Something that intrigued me during the pilot episode of Twin Peaks was
the way that Lynch appeared to be mixing visual elements from the past
and present.  This technique has of course been done in other places,
most notably Terry Gilliam's masterpiece film "Brazil."

Audrey appears to be right out of the 1940's.  Not all of the cars
appear to be right up to date (this is true of most of the world, but
it seemed to be an intentional thing.  note how bobby's car was late
60's/early 70's and his character appears to be a mix of 1950's James
Dean and any generic 1980's psychopath.)

Am I going insane?  Is it all just a wild coincidence or is there
a serious design thing here?

Or, maybe, just maybe, the gum that Cooper likes is really going to 
come back in style.  Knowing the way he likes cherry pie, donuts, 
etc., and knowing his personality, he'd probably be just about as happy
about the return of his gum as he would be to find out the identity of
Laura's killer.  Ecstatic, in both cases.  

Besides, as far as I know, Doublemint has never gone out of style.  We 
could make equally good cases for Beeman's (B-man = Ben Horne) and
Blackjack (another pointer to one-eyed Jack's).  Both of these are silly.
I'm perfectly willing to let it mean it like it is, like it sounds.

Just for grins:  On my deck of playing cards (Fox Lake - reversed colors)
the one-eye Jacks also only have one arm each.  The Jack of Hearts has
only a left arm, the Jack of Spades only a right.  Since I assume that
the club in question is probably based on the Jack of Hearts, it would
seem that the one-armed man has nothing to do with One-eyed Jack's.
Though he could have been the one to dig up the heart...with his
spade...oh, never mind.  Just another example to show how the over-analysis
can get really silly.  Fun, but silly.

Thanks to the people who have posted the Julee Cruise album info.
You shouldn't have to call Tower special order line tho. I went to 
the local music store (near campus) and they had both the album and 
cassette in stock.  They said they should have the CD within a week
or so.  The album is only one year old (copyrighted 89) so shouldn't
be tough to find.

      Did anyone notice the necklace that the "new girl" at One-Eyed Jacks
was wearing.  It was a club as in the suit of clubs from a deck of cards.
Could Laura have had a heart necklace because it represented the suit of
hearts.  Since One-Eyed Jacks is also a casino(did I hear that right?),
maybe Laura worked there also.  I missed the last half-hour of the pilot
and the whole 2nd episode, maybe someone can correct any inconsistancies.
  
      Is there anyway of knowing that Jerry Horne was ACTUALLY in France,
besides the fact that he said he was?  Maybe 'J' was Jerry??
   
      After 3 episodes,  my guess is Jerry Horne.  He looks like a real
weasel.

Does the phrase "Everything means something, but not everything means

The doctor's phraseology was that she had "sexual relations" with three
different men. There's no functional difference between "sex" and "rape"
in this type of situation. All they can tell is that the semen from
three different men was inside her. Unless there are obvious lacerations,
etc. in the genital area, I can't see as how they could determine whether
she was raped, or whether her death from blood loss from the numerous
small cuts -- or even the bruises from being bound at the wrists and
ankles -- happened after the sexual acts or in conjunction with it.

Just a power struggle. The impression I got was that the mill had been
in the Packard family for generations, and that Katherine Packard
expected to inherit the mill when her brother died (and does anyone
else suspect that she -- and maybe Ben Horne -- killed her brother, or
at least had him killed?). Much to her chagrin, the brother left it
to his wife, Josie (the "oriental chick"). Katherine was muy pissed off
about that, and has been fighting Josie ever since.

Don't know, but Laura's doppelganger will be significant on the 4/26

I don't think there's any significance to this other than that Lucy is

was inspired to read about it herself.

What the diner scene mean to me: Audry's behavior isn't just weird. After
seeing all the strange behavior in this show hers stands out as particularly
spacey. Any bets as to whether or not she's on cocaine?

And why not?  If you were directing someone and found him or her to be
a talented, capable actor/actress, wouldn't YOU want to use them
again?  Lots of directors have done this.  Two modern examples that
spring to mind are Terry Gilliam and Ken Russell.  (Notice how Russell
in particular has used Sammi Davis and Amanda Donohoe in his last five
or so films...)

He could, except that Terry Gilliam is slated to direct the film of
Watchmen, if the damn thing ever gets going...

There's been a lot of talk about touching the nose (e.g. Laura in the
dream, others who I don't recall).  Could this be a reference"to
snorting coke?  Perhaps that's what links the various nose touchers.
They are all part of the cocaine ring.

This doesn't explain who killed Laura, but it does suggest that there's
a lot of other bad things going on that may or may not be linked to the
main plot.

John Walsh
jw4l@andrew.cmu.edu

Here's the essence of what I learned last night from
a phone call to my distant relation in the Frost family...

1.  The strange speech in the dream sequence was in fact
    done by the say-backwards/play-backwards technique.

2.  An inquiry about one of the ~3-frame flashes at the start
    of the dream sequence met with a "can't disclose anything
    about that" response.  Seems likely that 1 or more of those
    flashes could be significant to future turns in the plot.

3.  The Frost/Lynch collaboration so far has been mainly
    in creation through production of the pilot and Lynch's
    episode (last week's).  During production of the other
    programs Lynch was physically elsewhere, working on
    a film called "Wild at Heart".  (This film will debut
    at Cannes in May.)  Lynch returned to direct last week's
    show, which is the only one that was shot out of order.

4.  I was confused about episode sequencing, calling the pilot
    #1.  They identify show #1 as the 1st following the pilot,
    so this week's will be #3 (not #4).

5.  My impression is that ABC was extremely doubtful that
    Twin Peaks woulds succeed; in fact they may have expected
    it to flop.  Thus the awkward scheduling, opposite Cheers
    and Mystery.

    I asked where to write to offer ABC a supporting opinion
    for Twin Peaks, and the exact answer is still pending.
    It'll probably be some particular destination in their
    Century City office.

This is a *real* stretch, and I'm not sure if someone's mentioned it or
not, but couldn't "English lessons" have an S&M angle to it?

-- William W. White {att|pyramid|killer}!osu-cis!sppy00!www **** These are my views, not my employer's (standard disclaimer) ****

Is it coincidence, deliberate planning, or Mark Frost's HILL STREET
BLUES background?--will each episode always encompass one day?

The two hour pilot was Friday, dawn to midnight.
The first regular episode was Saturday, breakfast to evening.
The second episode picked up that same evening and carried through
Sunday into Sunday night.
The next episode will include the funeral, Monday (why the FBI forensics
team had to work so fast).

There was a definite continuity error in the "Sunday" episode.  I am
assuming that Lynch thought nobody would notice.  Oh ye of little
faith...
     Pete and Catherine are going to bed at the end of the show (hence,
Sunday night) and she asks him about "that agent who was here with the
sheriff today" and he mentions the fish incident and that they talked
mostly to Josie.
     But all of that happened on Saturday, as we saw!  It is clearly the
incident we witnessed, because (a) they wouldn't have a major
interrogation happen offscreen unacknowledged, (b) fish in the
percolator is not a daily occurrence.
     Lynch, or somebody, must have thought that Josie finding the two
sets of ledgers would make a better effect close to the end of the show,
rather than right at the start.  (I don't read in any deeper
significance than that.)  He reckoned without all us pedantic types!

The person who said that the pilot was "obviously pieced together from
several episodes, with commercial breaks in the wrong places" was way
off the mark.  The two-hour pilot WAS filmed as a separate movie, and
shown at film festivals as such (in Miami, for instance).  Lynch just
likes to fade to black now and then; it's especially helpful to have it
as part of the filming style since you'll be forced to do it for
commercials anyway.

I usually "zap" the commercials when taping a show.  I have to be
careful about that here, since I don't want to lose Lucy's station-break
lead-ins!  "Time for a donut and a cuppa joe!  We'll be right back."  A
different one every week, huh?

Two Bobbys and Mikes...what does it mean?  And what IS Mike's last name?

The announcement that the mystery would remain unsolved at series end is
not all that surprising.  If it were officially solved, Agent Cooper
would have to leave, and now that we've been picked up for the fall, it
would be suicidal to dump everybody's favorite character.  Do FBI agents
stay on the case forever, if they don't solve it?  They'll have to think
of SOMEthing.

One of the directors of future episodes is Caleb Deschanel, the superb
cinematographer (Black Stallion) and film director.  His wife Mary Jo
plays the mother in the wheelchair.  Lynch and Frost are getting unusual
people to do the job, not typical tv folk.

Jon

Anyone care to venture a guess on the significance
of "living above a convenience store" metioned
in Cooper's dream?

-pam-

What did Ben say to Jer about what the French sandwiches
reminded him of?  He had his mouth full of butter, brie and bread.
[In the opening scene of Episode 3 (4/19)]

Favorite quote -- Donna says, "I'll go say 'Hi' to Audrey." to her
parents then to Audrey she says, "Hi."

Thanks.

This may be a little premature, but I'm sure there is someone 
out there who wll be taping the whole series (if not MANY  people...)
and since I don't have a vcr yet, but will sometime soon, I would
LOVE to have a copy once the whole thing is finished.  Is anyone
going to be willing to share...? (postage, etc paid by receiver, of
course...)

Could Big Ed's Gas Farm be construed as a convenience store?  We
hear someone say goodnight to Ed before he went home to Nadine
in the 4/19 episode, and Killer Bob's surroundings in Cooper's
dream suggest a garage.  Still, I haven't noticed Ed selling anything
but gas.

Actually, I think he was credited as being "Man From Another Place".
