Subject: The Diary From: George.Harris@samba.acs.unc.edu (George Harris) Date: 1990-12-03, 14:26 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks I think we're going to have to conclude that the diary we bought in the stores & the diary found in the show. If I recall correctly, Laura gave the diary (from the store) to Harold Smith *long* before she was killed. However, it seems that Laura gave the diary (in the show) to Harold Smith the day she died, as they found pages from a diary written by Laura on the night she died, & the unsecret diary had no pages missing. The upshot of this is, theories which derive verification from "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" may be thereby flawed. I think for theorizing, we should stick to what has been revealed on the show. I realize this won't stop anyone, but I hope it will stop people from saying "Your theory's no good, 'cause it doesn't fit in with the secret diary." I mean, come on. "Leland says you're going back to Missoula, MONTANA!" George.Harris@samba.acs.unc.eduGe|ge
