Just finished watching the latest _Northern_Exposure_ episode, and I'm
liking it more and more.

While watching it last night, the following thought came to mind:

1st, some slight background...  After having missed the first episode of
Twin Peaks, I declined watching anymore until re-run season, lest I miss
out on what was going on [coincidentally, I missed episode #1 of Northern
Exposure -- go figure], so I paid little attention to Twin Peaks articles,
only gleaning little bits and pieces of info here and there.  One article
in particular I remember was from a poster in Seattle, who was under the
impression that he'd stumbled upon the filming of an episode one day.  The
memory is fuzzy, but I recall it being about shutting down a section of
road, doing something weird to it (coloring it?), and his reactions to the
crew.  They wouldn't confirm to him whether or not they were indeed filming
TP, but he left knowing that it was indeed a television episode of SOMETHING
they were filming.  He never did see any of the TP actors, either.

[Red lights flashing -- sirens blasting -- there be SPOILERS ahead, mate!]
SPOILERS!         SPOILERS!         SPOILERS!       SPOILERS!      SPOILERS!
















In last week's episode, "they" laid down astroturf all along a roadbed, in
order to play golf.  Immediately, that old story came to mind, as I have
recently read that BOTH series were filmed in Seattle.  If you are the
original poster, or if you're a Twin Peaks viewer, who read that post and
then noticed the episode being aired [ONE would confirm my suspicion, the
other would deny it], OR if you just have an opinion on what may have
happened, I'd like to hear about it.  It seems as if this MUST be what happened.

In fact, if you feel like sending me mail [Hey, man.  Read your post], go
ahead, I'm afraid my posts never get out!  So, email or post as you see fit.
