Subject: Re: Explain this: How did Laura get that diary page to Mrs. Tremond, huh? Impossible!

It says in the published diary, right there in black-and-white in Laura's last entry, that she was giving it to Harold Smith to prevent BOB from getting at it any longer. You may not accept the published diary as canon, but Lynch has announced that it is, indeed, canon, and besides, his daughter wrote it in collaboration with him. Besides: let's assume that she did somehow really go write that diary page herself. Is there any legitimate way that the action can be rationalized sensibly and fit in with what else we know happened? Harold really gave no sign that Laura had come back to make another entry in the diary, and he certainly wouldn't have let her go without reading the page, and if he had read it and known the truth about her death then he wouldn't have acted so abjectly clueless around Donna, unless there's some whole other plotline we're missing here... it just doesn't make any sense. >> >> the Log Lady (oh, they seem to have forgotten about her, that's >> >> right)... > >.-. > >|G|ood heavens, we haven't seen her for Two!

The last time we saw her was when she brought Cooper to the Roadhouse, and she wasn't herself, then -- she was too open, too friendly, too ready to go along and accompany Cooper and Truman. Not the mousy Log Lady we've come to know and love! You think the Log Lady is a bad example of an interesting character who's not around any more? Then, how about Dr. Jacoby? Off in Hawaii with his wife -- lotta good that does *us*. (Hawaii-Five-Oh, anyone? ;) << Brian >> | Brian S.
