Subject: some stuff From: pw0l+@andrew.cmu.edu (Paul Christopher Workman) Date: 1990-05-12, 15:08 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Why would Madeline need to put on a wig to pretend to be Laura when she's on the PHONE? Apparently there was a clue in Cooper's dream about a bird singing. Way back in Cagney movies, that meant a criminal was talking to the cops. Will we get a confession soon? Maybe from Hawk? About the crow or raven: Odin had two ravens which would tell him what's going on in the world. A bird provided a segueway between Dr Jacoby's and Bobby's scene and Cooper et al.'s scene. I wonder if Cooper could be compared to Odin, and birds send him signals, or something. There's that heavy Nordic visitation theme, and it struck me the way that Cooper arrived so quickly on the scene; as if the gods saw the troubles on Earth and sent someone down to investigate it. It's reminds me of Greek myth. It's been suggested before that Cooper is an alien, and all agents on a Federal level (Cooper, Albert, that guy Cooper talked to on the speaker phone, Diane) that we've seen so far have a bizarre, other-worldly air to them. I don't think it'll turn out that they're all gods but I wonder if Lynch and Frost thought about this when they created the show. I distincly heard the lyrics "floating into the night" from the song playing in the cabin Cooper et al. found, so apparently it was the Cruise song. --paul
