                 JUST SOME MORE HUMBLE THEORIES
 
    The main problem with all of the various Who Killed Laura
    Palmer theories is that they've tended to deal with T.P. as
    a regular detective/thriller series and have seriously
    overlooked the supernatural implications that were hinted at
    throughout the first season.  Quite clearly Twin Peaks is
    about to explode in a fiery ball of weirdness (weirder than
    it already is).  I'm predicting that much of this coming
    season will boarder on science fiction.
 
    Quite simply, there are obviously two Twin Peaks (T.P.-1 &
    T.P.-2).  It's kind of a parallel universe situation.
    Remember, Mike spoke of "two worlds" in Cooper's first
    dream.  The usual gang lives in T.P.-1, while T.P.-2 is
    inhabited by a strange group of midgets, giants, serial
    killers and who knows what else.  When Cooper speaks of the
    dark side of Twin Peaks he is literally referring to another
    world.
 
    With the existence of an alternate Twin Peaks established --
    there seems to be some sort of basic good vs. evil conflict
    going on in T.P.-2.  The Giant of course representing the
    good (the midget I'm not so sure about).  BOB of course is
    the ultimate evil force.  Unlike some of the others in
    T.P.-2, BOB seems to visit Twin Peaks quite regularly (his
    visits to Laura specifically -- for more info, see the
    diary).  This evil force (what some might call Evil in the
    Woods, although I don't believe for one second that this
    evil is limited strictly to the woods) is responsible for
    some of the darker elements that occasionally rampage
    through T.P.-1.
 
    As for Laura, it is fairly obvious that her behavior during
    the last few years of her life was controlled by the evil
    forces of T.P.-2 (probably BOB specifically).  Laura's death
    seems to have been part of some weird occult ritual (I say
    this primarily because of the evil nature of BOB and the
    strange neo-pagan looking clump of dirt surrounded by
    candles which was found in the boxcar where the murder was
    committed.)  The death of Laura was part of some ritual for
    BOB.
 
    Having killed Laura, BOB has moved on in search of another
    body to inhabit, degrade and ultimately sacrifice.  He's
    found Donna.  The most telling proof of this (more telling
    then her behavior in the jail with James) comes during the
    dinner scene while her sister is playing piano.  Watch this
    scene over again and notice how Donna's arms are bent back.
    Just like the midget's cousin said.
 
    And finally, as someone mentioned in an earlier post, Leland
    now looks just like Jim Bakker.  And if I'm not mistaken
    Sarah is beginning to resemble Tammi Faye.
 
     I hope most people aren't put off by the sudden infusion
     of supernatural forces which are about to invade Twin
     Peaks.  As far as I'm concerned it's the best thing that
     could happen to the show.  It's really the only way to
     keep T.P. from becoming just another nighttime soap.  Mr.
     Lynch wouldn't have it any other way.
