Subject: And the winner is.....! From: fehr@ms.uky.edu (Jeffrey Davis) Date: 1990-11-16, 06:13 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks This should be my last post to alt.tv.twin-peaks since I'm unsubscribing -- the volume of posts is overwhelming! [Sorry to add to the clutter] I just wanted to thank the people who took the time to submit the interesting posts: 1) The revelation that Waldo Lydecker was the name of Laura's murderer in the movie _Laura_ starring Gene Tierney. I'm REAL ticked the bird didn't do it. 2) The report that Senor Droolcup was in _The Searchers_ and gave a similar speech there to the one he gave the fallen Cooper. I like to think that the ghost of Natalie Wood haunts the set of TP. 3) The parallels between Streiber's _Communion_ and the owl imagery in Twin Peaks. Streiber sounds like that unique American type: the huckster/believer. A stand-in for David Lynch. 4) All the fantastic, laborious, intricate hallucinatory analyses. True net heroes. Finally, I'd like to suggest a destination for TP and I hope this will sound as cracked as anything I've read here: bring Laura back. In TP time, it will soon be Easter...and they didn't bury her deep enough! Also -- if you aren't a lit type, take the time to read Robert Frost's two great stories of the supernatural "The Witch of Coos" and "The Pauper Witch of Grafton." I know...they're verse...poems....but if you read those you might read his odd, genuinely horrifying "Directive." Thanks for the posts. -- Jeff Davis davis@keats.ca.uky.edu Nobody knows, from sea to shining sea, why we are having all this trouble with our republic.
