OK, puns can get worse.  Remember that Laura was bound with
twine, apparently in a box car on the railroad?  Well, a
railroad is often called a pike.  Pronounce "Twin Peaks"
with a severe southern accent and you can easily get
"Twine Pikes".

Albert & hair jesmith@bbn.com (Joshua E. Smith) 1990-05-09 08:52
Albert concluded that Laura "had a habit" w.r.t. coke.  I think this
is determined by examining hair samples (the coke remains in the hair
as it grows out).  Hence, we can conclude that Albert would have paid
close attention to Laura's hair (and would have noticed if it had been
died).  Of course, Madeline could be the one with died hair.

(BTW, does anybody know how this test is done?  Albert did it on-site,
 not back in some fancy FBI lab.  Is that realistic?)

The Major... Is there an Air Force base nearby? Why aren't there other 
airforce uniforms in existence? Maybe the Major is a "Major" and is really

Why the hell not?  Sounds like a most interesting way for someone to figure the
whole charade out, to me.  People, especially people engaging in surreptitious
charades, DO make mistakes, you know, and this very sort of mistake could
certainly be the factor that leads to the uncovering of the whole charade,
and may even be part of the direct cause for the murder.  E.g., two unrelated
and uninvolved (with each other, at least not directly) people see "Laura" at
the same approximate time in different places, but do not relate this to each
other.  Cooper learns this from the disparate sources, and deduces a
conclusion.

We can't say, because he didn't make a throw after saying "One-Eyed Jack's".
That omission struck me as strange at the time, even more so once the poker

I agree with other posters who saw a figurine of a woman with an eye
patch but *not* a one-armed man.  Also, the figurine has a patch on the
right eye and Nadine has a patch on the left eye, so between them they
have one good pair of eyes, consistent with the theme of a "pairs".

Unrelated question.  The (single) peak we see behind the "Twin Peaks" city
limit sign looks like Haystack Mountain (I believe that's the name) near
Snoqualamie WA.  Can anyone make a positive ID?

People often have amnesia after severe trauma.  E.g. Brian Wilson, the
protester who lost his legs when struck by the train leaving (forgot

A theory trudel@revenge.rutgers.edu (Jonathan D.) 1990-05-09 10:22
The phrase "That gum you like is going to come back in style" (I know
it's not precisely that..) has been nagging at the back of my brain.
I've been trying to think what sort of gum that would be, because I
can't accept that it's Wrigley's Doublemint.  That's too obvious.

I was thinking about the other types of gum that we know of...

...such as Guar Gum?  Nope, haven't seen any Guars recently on the
show, however, I'm not going to preclude the idea that we'll be seeing
some Guar at the Veterinary clinic, so we'll have to wait and see.
Maybe they'll be adding it to the menu at the diner (and maybe that
explains the fish head in the coffee pot!!!).

Then again, it could be Gum Arabic.  This makes more sense when you
consider the connection between Norwegians and Arabs.  Both are
interested in oil (Norwegians in the North Sea, and Arabs in, well,
their back yards).  Consider that the Norwegians are interested in
buying the mill (which as you all can predict is going to be burned to
the ground in a future episode) because what's-ername (the evil
red-headed woman) there let some outsiders conduct oil-presence
studies (don't know what they're called).  The Norwegians expected to
make a killing, but left because they heard that Arabs were coming to
outbid them.

Of course, all the secret dealings took place in the (how you say)
convenience store?

mirror image cbrooks@sun.udel.edu (Chris Brooks) 1990-05-09 10:33
In the May 3rd episode, the scene between Donna and Audrey--

They are discussing cooperating in solving Laura's murder.  Did anyone
have the feeling of opposites or a mirror image?  Part of the "twins"
feeling, but reversed.

I got this impression from various aspects of the scene--hair styles,
for example.  They were similar, but parted on opposite sides of the
head.  When the two girls were shown together, it seemed mirror-like to
me.

Re: Laura or not Laura (was Re: Who Killed Emerald Palmer?) jfr@Tellabs.COM (John Ryder) 1990-05-09 10:50
In the articles I've seen debating whether or not Laura Palmer was the 
murder victim, and the discussions of Albert's forensics including 
identification of her corpse, I haven't seen any mention of the fact that
Leland Palmer gave the "positive" I.D. of the body at the morgue after
only briefly looking at her face. His ID'ing of the body, I'm certain,
would be quite adequate to the police and FBI (after all, she was his own
daughter, or at least, was supposed to be), and that they would not run
any of their own tests to make their own determination of identification.
Now, if Laura(?) had no family, or if her corpse had been in a state of
being "beyond recognition", maybe dental records or other identifying
factors might have brought into play. Also, Albert didn't have all the
time he wanted with the body ("Who knows *what* I might have found if I'd
had a couple of more days....", yeah like maybe she *wasn't* Laura). I think
these facts lend a lot of creedence to the theory that Laura was not the
victim. Any takers?

What ball? :-)

> > Which character elicited the WIDEST miss???

Johnny Horne - his *rock* (as in "Let's") hit a metal barrel yards away.

Shelley Johnson's rock was the one that bounced off of a tree and hit Andy
on the head.  Could that be significant?  Will Andy perhaps die in the
act of saving Shelley (or trying to arrest her)?  His incompetence with
his gun might be a significant factor, too.

Josie's and Norma's rocks were also very close - Josie's hit the stump
the bottle was sitting on, and Norma's bounced some dirt up at the bottle.
Of course, as most of us know, Jacoby's rock hit the bottle and knocked
it off the stump, but didn't break it.  Leo's rock was a perfect hit and
broke the bottle, instantly dispelling any lightness of mood that was present.

(*Great* direction in that whole sequence, Mr. Lynch...)

It seemed to me not so complicated.  Cooper had heard from Albert (or perhaps
knew from last year's victim) what the brand of twine was that was used to
tie up poor Laura.  When Andy returned with the product, Cooper then named the
brand before even seeing the roll - for effect.  This correlation then pro-
vided the evidence needed to search the offices of Dr. Lydecker, because it
implicates anyone having easy access to this particular brand of twine.  Does
anyone else have a different interpretation?

TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS geiser@spica.cis.ohio-state.edu (paul d geiser) 1990-05-09 14:15
Maybe these are stupid questions and maybe I missed something in all these
postings but think about this:

In regards to Andy and Lucy:

Andy asked Lucy something, to the effect of, "Why didn't you stay at my house
last night?"

Was that the day after the Horne brothers went up to One-Eyed Jacks and which
you netters think that the new girl was Lucy undercover?

In regards to the Dream Sequence:

The shadow of something flies by in the background.  I've heard it described as
a "spade" like on a playing card and an airplane.

Could it have possibly been the shadow of a bird?

No, maybe the fact WASN'T hidden, but I wouldn't put it past Doc Hayward to
have told them that the other infant had died. Of course, this leads to some
odd and far-fetched thoughts about a conspiracy in Twin Peaks--is Doc H. part
of the cult of the Great Evil in the Woods (tm), and was Maddie raised as a
"cousin" to Laura in preparation for some plot to gain power over the mortal
realm? I find it no less plausible than time travel. This, of course, knocks

My first impression upon reviewing the tape was that the picture showed 
Laura and Ronette. This makes more sense, if they were entertainers to-
gether at the OEJ. The picture was posed and rather sweet; it surely
wasn't pornographically tinged. Maybe Ben Horne used it in an advertise-
ment for his perfume counter.

YES!  I was going to reply to this post exactly as you did.  There is
such a thing a fiction, isn't there?

S'cuse me... TIM BURTON?  I don't think so.  I believe it was directed
by the guy who did THE RIVER'S EDGE, who's name, unfortunately, es-
capes me...

Correct.  There is no one-armed man figurine.  But I *did* see a one-armed 
*figurine* the first time...so, in the name of science (and to put off 
studying for my philosophy final for a bit), I went back to the videotape 
and took another look.

I found nine figurines, starting from the left of the shelf as the
camera panned from left to right:

1:  One-armed Southern Belle.  Right arm is missing.
2:  Blonde girl.
3:  Cat-like (?) figurine holding a red flower.
4:  Boot
5:  Ballerina
6:  Frontier woman with eye-patch over right eye (As bmay said, Nadine's
    own patch is on her left eye).
7:  Seated brown-haired man figurine.
8:  Angel with one black wing, one white wing guarding (?) two children.
    The angel's right wing is black, the left is white.
9:  The new piece...just what *is* that thing?  (Somehow, I get the 
    feeling that Big Ed was thinking the same thing...)

Corrections by people with better eyes and better TVs are welcome...

I think you're thinking of "one-eyed snake".  Close, though, and for all I know
OEJ may be a synonym for John Thomas as well.  (There hasn't been any character
named John Thomas yet, has there?)

"Which character"?  You mean, either Harry or Harry? :-)

Except that Dana Goldblatt *called* and asked, and they said no Diane
Shapiro got a Ph.D. there.  I don't care if some sophomore in
communications science has that name, and neither would ABC.  There are
only so many Ph.Ds granted per year.  Having Jewish students doesn't
mean a school's doctorate rolls must exhaust all permutations of likely
names, does it.

Ben Wright ...
    One last thing - is anyone else in love with Audrey Horne, or is it
    just me?

I agree!  I've been smitten since early on when she sticks a pencil in
the side of a full styrofoam cup of coffee, looks impishly at Mom
who implores her not to pull it out, and pulls it out.

Now, whenever I'm bored in a meeting, I poke holes in my styrofoam cup
and think about watching TV.

      Of course, this isn't alt.twin-peaks.Audrey.drool, but yes, Audrey
is in Two Moon Junction, and she looks nothing less than spectacular.
Definately raised my hormone level.  She is also in a movie being released
on video called 'Meridian' which also looks promising.
