Well, a friend of mine who works with Kyle's brother Kent said that
Craig works as a production assistant on the set of TP.

So perhaps the dead body is supposed to be a mannican (look-alike) of
Agent Cooper, and with the top of his head covered with a wig, Craig's
jaw line looks enough like Kyle's to pass.

My favorite scene (TP 1/26) was in Doc Haywards house...Donna was
crying upstairs so the good Doc walked up, just like out of the
Saturday Evening Post...shoulders bent w/ fatigue, his grown-up  
little girl full of sniffles and hormones...

For some reason he had brought up Gray's Anatomy w/ him and was thumbing
through it, in an absent minded way...I didn't catch all of the
medulla mballa...mumble stuff...but Donna looked up at him so
irritated and asked "Is this a rib?" and he closed the book and 
bit his tongue...letting the audience savor the unspoken punch line.

Wood made a movie about transexuals called Glen or Glenda (there is
another title but I can't remember what it is).  It is often
included in "Worst Movie" festivals.  I doubt whether it would be
considered definitive and as in most of Mr. Wood's movies its hard to
tell whether the hilarity is intentional or not, particularly the scene
where he and his girlfriend go shopping for sweaters :).

It couldn't have been Eckert (sp?) because, remember, he was talking
to Josie at that cabin, just a few minutes before.  I know, I know, we
didn't actually *see* him, but Josie was obviously seeing him.  Unless
she was hallucinating or something, we should assume that it really was
Eckert.  

Poor Josie!  She was obviously scared out of her wits!  Do you think
Harry will rescue her?  Or maybe Eckert is just going to threaten her
and then let her go.  I'm puzzled about how they both got into the Log
Lady's cabin, though.  

> >Things We Saw: log truck, sprinklers

I think it was llama stew.

Given what the Air Force pilot said to Coop in the diner, you think Major
Briggs is going to be committed to an asylum by the government?  Against
his will, I mean.  From what the pilot said about "drugs in the name of
confidentiality" I think the government's going to try to drug Briggs into
silence.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the horse at the waterfall.  It's obviously
the white horse Sarah saw.  And Coop *knows* there's something special
about it, but I don't know how he's going to convince the town that they've
got to rescue the horse off from that rock it's perched on.  What is Coop
going to try to do, airlift it out with a helicopter?  

All in all, a good episode.  Nice to see Julee Cruise again.

Maybe _your_ affiliate postponed the show, but here in Los Angeles
KABC _showed_ episode 2014.  10 PM on Saturday; as always.

A wrestling show, you say?  Maybe your affiliate preempted the show
due to the numerous references to Kuwaiti llama wool the mysterious
Mr. Dobbs made in the opening sequence.

I was really disappointed when I saw this as well.  I kept expecting this to
happen in the past.  Fortunately, though, it didn't, until this episode.
For crying-out-loud, it all happened in one day "Twin Peaks Time".  Maybe
she was just really hungry and ate Andy's boots.  I supposed you noticed that
he was barefoot this week.

-- I...believe in cholesterol, cigarettes, alcohol, masturbation, carbon monoxide, the Arts Council, nuclear weapons, the _Daily Telegraph_, and not properly labelling fatal poisons. But most of all, above all else, I believe in the one thing which can come out of people's mouths. Vomit.

A lot of people seem to have missed the 1/26/91 episode, so I thought it
might be helpful if I transcribed that key scene near the end.  It
went as follows:

**************************
Coop is standing in front of Sheriff's office, as the ambulance pulls away
(with Dick's body inside).  The ambulance goes farther and farther away.
Everyone but Coop goes back into the building.

Close-up of Coop, looking puzzled.  The siren is not fading even though the
ambulance is gone.  The siren starts to slow and go lower and lower.  Coop
has clearly entered that strange Giant/dwarf time zone.

Overhead shot of Sheriff's department, bathed in red light.  Cooper is 
standing alone.  Then, a ground-level shot.   A llama (alpaca?)
is walking toward Cooper.  As it passes him, suddenly the OAM is there.

The OAM says:  You wonder about the threshold, beyond the fire.  I tell you
  it is *NOT* there.  There are many...in the woods...the old place, the 
  *wild* *woods* with *wolves* [he emphasizes each word].  The house of Pan.

Cooper:  Where in the woods?  

OAM:  In the wood there is a place.  For a - long - time we have been there.
  It is a white house, in red trees.  Only animals can travel there, only
  animals travel out.  Birds can fly...

Cooper:  Has Major Briggs been there?

OAM:  Any who fly, any on four hooves, can come *if* they know the way.  
  Oho, but those who choose to fly must be careful!  [the OAM gives a choking
  laugh and looks up; there is a wailing sound; there is a sudden shower
  of small silver things, I couldn't see what they were -- all this just
  lasts a couple seconds]  I know you want to come [approaches Coop, grabs
  him arm]  but it is the core of the world!  Be careful, or it may be your
  fatal vision.  The transition is...difficult.  When I came out, BOB...
  took over.  I can no longer return.  

The OAM then looks down, and there on the ground between the OAM's and Cooper's
feet is a word made of sticks:  "EKOJ"

Cooper looks at the llama and, unexpectedly, it turns its head (its body still
facing away] and looks at him.  Coop takes a step toward the llama, but
the OAM is still holding his arm and he says:

OAM:  We need your help against the ravens.

Then Coop looks at the llama -- it has changed into a horse!  He looks
back toward the OAM, but the OAM is gone.  He hears hooves for a moment
and looks back toward the horse, but it too is gone.  The red light fades,
a puff of wind blows by, and we hear somebody laughing.


***********************
That's all.  So what do you all think?  Are Lynch/Frost leading into 
some sort of raven/owl/llama/horse war?  I think Lynch is definitely leaning
toward incorporating all those old myths and religions about animal gods
into TP in some way.  Maybe this place in the woods is where the old gods that
are no longer worshipped go to retire, or something.  I dunno.  And what
about that laughter?

I think the key part of that whole scene, though, is the word made of sticks.

According to reliable sources inside NBC:

Despite the many claims to the contrary, there WAS INDEED an episode of Twin
Peaks aired on January 26, 1991.  The protracted discussion of its contents
was all totally legitimate.  The episode was preempted in many areas due to
sagging interest on the part of the viewing public.  There was an editorial
mistake that caused the episode aired on January 19, 1991 to run the title "In
two weeks...." this was caused by operator error and can be attributed to the
War in the Gulf.

The postings to alt.tv.twin-peaks saying things like "relax, this whole 1/26
episode thing is a hoax" are being posted by disgruntled individuals who are
protesting about the limited areas that chose to broadcast the episode. The
episode was run, Dick Tremain did perish, Andrew Packard was seen with
syringes and vials of unknown substances (possibly drugs used for chemical
interrogation, CIA-style, which relates to the top-secret Briggs goings-on),
James was rescued from the Spider Woman, etc.

Hey, guys, if you're going to post information about an episode some of us
haven't seen yet, would you please put a ^L or a bunch of blank lines in
front of the spoiler material so that those of us who don't want to know
can avoid reading it?  My newsreader gives me a screenful of message text
before I get the chance to skip the rest of the article; from what I haven't
been able to avoid reading so far I've been forced to find out more than I
want to about the next episode!

Indeed, in 2013, he said to Catherine, "You defeated me, as I have
defeated General <Whoozits>."  (I don't remember exactly who he
said--who was the Union general at Gettysburg? Not Grant, was it?)

In other words, Ben has suffered a critical defeat, and is
responding by rewriting history so that another critical defeat is
reversed.  Just as he wishes he could go back and redo his actions
with Catherine.

Of course, in light of 2014, the thought of Ben being able to extract
any kind of revenge becomes pretty ludicrous, doesn't it?

I took that part differently. I think the Air Force guy's veiled reference
means that the USAF is going to use drugs to help Briggs *recover his
full memories* of the so-called "close encounter"--in order to prevent
Briggs from allowing those memories to resurface in an *uncontrolled
environment*.

I think this explains why the preview shows Coop invoking his 
federal connections to get Briggs loose--I look forward to next week's
episode to see if he pulls this off.

[Excerpted from Cornell Chronicle, Jan. 24, 1991]==========================

   Dalai Lama to visit in March as Bartels Fellow
   ----------------------------------------------

The Dalai Lama, the exiled temporal and spiritual leader of 6
   million Tibetans and winner of the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize, will visit
   campus March 25 through 27 as the 1991 Henry E. and Nancy Horton Bartels
   World Affairs Fellow.

President Frank H.T. Rhodes, in announcing the visit, called the
   Dalai Lama "a spiritual teacher, secular leader and scholar of
   remarkable breadth, whose warmth, compassion, and commitment to the
   highest humanitarian ideals stand as an example to us all.

"As the Nobel committee noted," Rhodes continued, "he has come
   forward with constructive and forward-looking proposals for the solution
   of problems as diverse as international conflict, human rights and
   global environmental change.  We look forward to his sharing his unique
   perspective on life and world affairs with our students and the wider
   community."

A highlight of the Dalai Lama's visit will be a free public talk
   scheduled for Tuesday, March 26, at 6 p.m. in Barton Hall.  Up to 15,000
   people are expected; seating will be on a first-come, first-served
   basis.  Campus shuttle buses will run from perimeter parking lots to
   Barton Hall.

The Bartels Fellowship honors a distinguished leader in the field
   of international relations, who visits the campus as a guest of the
   Center for International Studies to give a lecture and meet with
   students and faculty.  Recent Bartels Fellows have included President
   Carlos Andres Perez of Venezuela; Mark Palmer, former U.S. Ambassador to
   Hungary; and Dr.  Halfdan Mahler, director-general of the World Health
   Organization.

In addition to his major public address, the Dalai Lama will
   deliver an academic lecture, "The Buddhism of Tibet," on Wednesday,
   March 27, at 9:30 a.m. in Bailey Hall.  It is designed for, but not
   limited to, students of philosophy, Asian studies, and religious
   studies.

During the Cornell visit, the Dalai Lama will also formally launch
   the Year of Tibet in North America.  Through events and exhibits to be
   held in at least 28 countries, the Year of Tibet honors the
   2,000-year-old civilization -- especially its religious art -- which has
   been imperiled by a 40-year Chinese occupation of the country.

During the three weeks before the visit, the Herbert F. Johnson
   Museum of Art will be the site for construction of an intricate Tibetan
   sand mandala by monks of Namgyal Monastery.  The Dalai Lama will be
   stopping by the museum during his visit to inspect and bless the
   mandala.  Other Year of Tibet events include a Tibetan film series,
   musical performances, a photo exhibit and other displays of Tibetan art
   and culture.

Tenzin Gyatso was born in 1935 to a peasant family in Amdo, eastern
   Tibet.  He was chosen at age 2 to be the 14th Dalai Lama after an
   intricate process led by eminent Buddhist lamas in Tibet.  At the age of
   4, he was taken to Lhasa and officially installed as the Dalai Lama.

In 1959, after a Tibetan revolt against China's occupation, the
   Dalai Lama along with 100,000 Tibetan refugees fled across the Himalayas
   to India and other neighboring countries.  In India, he drafted a
   democratic constitution, formed a Tibetan government-in-exile and began
   to establish the institutions that would form the basis for a new
   Tibetan society: schools, hospitals, orphanages, craft co-ops, farming
   communities, institutions for the preservation of traditional music and
   drama, and monastic institutions.

In addition to winning the Nobel Peace Prize, the Dalai Lama was
   recently honored by the United States Congress as the recipient of its
   1989 Raoul Wallenberg Congressional Human Rights Award.  Other recent
   honors include the Albert Schweitzer Humanitarian Award and the 1989
   Prix de Memoire Award.

His publications include: "A Policy of Kindness," "My Tibet,"
   "Freedom in Exile," "Kindness, Clarity and Insight," along with writings
   on Buddhist philosophy.

Hi there

So can anyone tell me about Kimmy Robertson (Lucy)? Who is she, what does she
do, has she had roles in any other series/movies etc.? Any information would 
be appreciated. Anything really - I don't care, I'm in lo.. I'm a fan! (Oops!)

Can anyone out there help me? I missed the first season of Twin Peaks
when it was shown here in Britain a month or two ago and am presently
watching the second season, but with only the vaguest idea of "who's 
who", "what's what" and "who's doing what to whom with what and for 
how much?" So, does anyone have any kind of brief summary of the 
first season's events - particularly in terms of major characters 
and important happenings? If anyone does have (or can produce) such
a summary and e-mail it to me, I would be almost eternally grateful.
(I would say absolutely eternally grateful, but eternity is a helluva
 long time - you could drink an awful lot of coffee in eternity!)

Thanks in advance,

The vivid saturated colors in the opening scene of the 1/19 episode reminded
me of the opening and closing scenes of Blue Velvet.  In Blue Velvet, those
scenes presented a overly-romanticized, naive view of life (white picket
fence, robins, green grass).  Then a shocking tragedy with a garden hose
followed by the switch to subdued color and lighting for the "real" story.
Again back to exaggerated color for the "happy" ending with the characters'
expectations that all evil is gone and now everything will be wonderful.
The urge to see all of the bad guys eliminated has been satisfied, but
somehow the audience is left a little more unsettled than the characters are.

It is interesting that the Major's chair-in-the-woods scene is shot using
this same technicolor device.  The concensus (which I agree with) is that
the Major is more enlightened than most, if not all, of the other characters
in the story.  Is the point being highlighted by saturated color in Twin
Peaks something other than a naive view of life?  Should we beware of
placing too much hope in the Major and his White Lodge?  Will Twin Peaks end
in a sickeningly happy resolution that leaves the audience satisfied on one
superficial level (bad forces apparently eliminated), but disturbed on
another (the knowledge that things are not as good as they seem)?  

Where there any other scenes in Twin Peaks that were shot in this colorful
film?

She played Lady Macbeth in the Pee-Wee Herman version of, well,
"Macbeth."  That's about it.

A nice idea, but the 3-triangle arrangement on the Major's neck
(and the lighted 3-triangle object seen in the opening scene) is
*not* the shape of the radiation signal.  The orientation of the
triangles is wrong.  I've seen that arrangement before, but can't
place it -- vague memory says it was written up in the Project
Blue Book stuff, or maybe Von Hyneck (sp?).  Something to do with
UFOs, anyway.

All you people writing about the Jan 26 show, definitely should have

I tend to agree with you. However, it is interesting to note that when Audrey
tells her father he needs help, he responds that all he needs a is little time.
And, he is soon proven correct. Catherine shows up in less than a minute and in
effect surrenders to him (actually to "Love", "Eros", to be more exact).

Maybe having Lucy's pregnancy show in the 1/26 episode was the point.
I don't think the baby's father is Dick or Andy but --
Little Nicky!  (Don't possessed children have shorter gestation periods?)

TWIN PEAKS 
FREQUENTLY ANSWERED QUESTIONS
Last revision: 1/29/91

(Many of these concern what various people said.  Many thanks to Bart
J. Geraci, the man with the closed caption decoder.)

WARNING: This article may contain references to any episode up to and
including the most recent one shown in the U.S.  

New or changed lines begin with #.

Meta-question #0: Why should we accept the closed captions as authoritative?
Don't the people who enter the captions just type what *they* hear?
--The closed captions for most pre-recorded network shows that have them are
created from scripts.  Despite all the script-secrecy surrounding
Twin Peaks, it is reasonable to assume that TP's captions are
created the same way.

1. What's this "secret diary" that everybody keeps referring to?  
--_The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer_ was written by Jennifer Lynch (David's
daughter), and is published in the U.S by Pocket Books, and in the
U.K. by Penguin Books.  It's supposed to be the text of the diary
that was discovered in the *second* season of the show.

2. a) What language was the little boy with the creamed corn speaking?
-- French
   b) What did he say?
-- J'ai une ame solitaire: I have a solitary soul (according to the closed
captions).
   c) Didn't he look an awful lot like David Lynch?
-- Yes, that's because he's Austin Jack Lynch, David Lynch's son.  (For
handy reference, look at Gordon Cole (Cooper's boss): he's played by
David Lynch.)

3. What was that ditty Leland was singing, and what does it mean?
-- The full lyrics of the song are:

Mairzy doats and dozy doats
and little lambzy divy.
A kiddly divy, too, wooden shoe?

Now if the words sounds queer,
and funny to your ear,
a little bit jumbled and jivy,
Sing:

Mares eat oats and does eats oats
and little lambs eat ivy.
A kid'll eat ivy, too, wouldn't you?

4. Wasn't the Giant also on Star Trek: The Next Generation?
-- Yes, he is Carel Struycken, who played Mr. Homm.  No, he did not play
Lurch on the Adams Family (although it has been reported that he
will play Lurch in an upcoming AF movie).

5. Who was standing outside the window while Josie was seducing Harry?
-- The majority of posters believe it was the Mysterious Asian Gentleman,
also known as "Jonathan", Josie's "cousin" from Hong Kong.  Those
who have suggested other people are pushing it.

6. What were the three predictions that the giant made to Cooper?
-- a man in a smiling bag
   the owls are not what they seem
   without chemicals, he points

   The giant also said something about "Leo locked in a hungry horse," and
that there was a clue at Leo's house.  However, these were not the
"predictions" which were to be fulfilled before Cooper gets his ring
back.  The former refers to the fact that Leo was in jail in Hungry
Horse, Montana when Theresa Banks was killed, and the latter refers
to the Circle Brand boots that were found with the cocaine at Leo's
house.

7. Has anybody mentioned the possible connection between:
   * BOB and J. R. "Bob" Dobbs of the Church of the Subgenius?
   * All the donuts they eat on Twin Peaks, and JFK's "Ich bin ein Berliner"
speech?  What he literally said was "I am a jelly donut."
   * Agent Dale Cooper and D.B. Cooper, the guy who hijacked a plane and
then parachuted over Washington State with a whole bunch of money
and was never found?
   * Ben and Jerry Horne and Ben and Jerry's brand ice cream (in one scene
the brothers Horne are even shown eating ice cream)?
   * Sarah's vision of a white horse, and Mr. Ed?
   *   "       "    "  "   "    "      "  Laura' pony, Troy?
   *   "       "    "  "   "    "      "  Death, which "rides a pale horse"?
   *   "       "    "  "   "    "      "  heroin, also known as "white horse" 
  (maybe Leland/BOB shot her up with 
  heroin)?
-- Yes for all of the above.

8. What was the poem that "Mike" recited in Cooper's dream, and later at the
sheriff's station?
-- "Through the darkness of future past
    the magician longs to see
    one chants out between two worlds
    'Fire walk with me.'"

   (There has been much debate over whether the second-to-last line is "one
chants out" or "one chance out".  The closed captions indicate
"chants".)

9. How were the funny voices in Cooper's dream done?  
-- Before shooting the scene, the actors were recorded reading their lines.
The recording was then played to them backwards, and they memorized
how to imitate it.  Each shot in the scene was acted in reverse
order, with the actors saying their "backwards" lines.  The film was
then reversed so that the actions came out in the right order, and
the words came out double-reversed.  Unfortunately, the words
weren't very intelligible, so subtitles were added.

10. What year is the show set in?  
-- References in the first season placed it in 1989.  However, _The Secret
Diary of Laura Palmer_ places the action in 1990.  Sources on the
production team (i.e., Scott Frost) indicate that it's been sort of
miraculously moved up to 1990.  Apparently, the producers and
directors have trouble keeping track of what day it's supposed to be
in Twin Peaks, never mind what year.

11. Maddy notices a burning smell just before she's attacked by Leland/BOB.
Didn't Jacoby say he smelled burned oil in the hospital when Jacques
was killed?  Does this mean that Leland was BOB when he killed
Jacques?
-- No.  Later, under hypnosis, Jacoby corrected himself and said that he
smelled the burned smell just before he was attacked at the gazebo,
but not at the hospital.  However, this does leave open the
possibility that Jacoby was attacked by BOB.

12. a) Where is Twin Peaks supposed to be? 
-- It's in the State of Washington, but where exactly is not clear.  In
Cooper's initial monolog to Diane as he's driving into town, he
states that it's five miles south of the Canadian border and twelve
miles west of the state line.  That would seem to place it in the
northeast corner of the state.  However the surrounding geography is
like that of the Cascade Mountains in western WA.  References to
cities such as Seattle and Tacoma, but not Spokane, also seem to
place it in western WA.  The show's creators seem to have smooshed
the state so that it all fits west of the Cascades.

#   Many of the outdoor shots were filmed in Snoqualmie, WA, which is in the
Cascades, not too far from Seattle.  The waterfall is there; the
#Great Northern Hotel is really the Salish Lodge (although it doesn't
#look like the GNH on the inside); and the RR Diner is really the
Mar-T Diner, which really does have heavenly cherry pies.

    b) How big a town is Twin Peaks?
-- Again, that's not exactly clear.  The population sign that's shown at
station breaks and on the Twin Peaks sound track indicates 51,201.
However cues in the show seem to indicate that it's much much
smaller than that.  For instance, it doesn't have a resident circuit
court judge, which any town of 51K+ in the U.S. would; it has a
sheriff's department but no police department.  On the other hand,
it does have its own hospital, a fancy department store, and a large
hotel.  It seems the creators haven't worried too much about being
consistent on this point.

13. Has anybody noticed that Julee Cruise's "Floating Into The Night" album
gives special thanks to, among other people, Bob (no last name)? 
-- Yes.

14. Is the first season two-hour pilot considered the first episode, or is
the first one-hour show the first episode?  Do the episodes have
names?  What the best way of referring to episodes?
-- The episodes are not named.  Whether it's the best way or not,
Lynch/Frost number the episodes with four-digit numbers, where the
first digit is the season number, and the others are the order
within that season.  This system was apparently adopted after the
pilot was produced, so the pilot is 1000, the first one-hour episode
is 1001, and so on.  However for the second season, the two-hour
season premiere is 2001.

15. Can a person's hair really turn white "over night" like Leland's did
between the first and second seasons?
--Generally, only folklore supports this ("it happened to a friend of a
friend of mine").  Since hair above the scalp is dead matter, it
can't change color without dyes or bleaches.  It's possible that a
person with mixed gray and dark hair could lose all their older,
darker hair over a short period of time (a few days or weeks) due to
a physical or psychological trauma, which would leave them with just
gray hair.  Or a dark-haired person might lose all their dark hairs
and grow in gray ones over a similar span of time, but "over night"
seems physically implausible.

#16. Is Miguel Ferrer (the actor who plays Albert Rosenfeld) related to Jose
#Ferrer, the movie actor?
#--Yes, Miguel is Jose's son.

#17. Was there or wasn't there an episode of Twin Peaks broadcast in the US
#on 1/26/91?
#--If you have to ask, please see a doctor or a professional comedian
#for treatment of humor impairment.

My Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines "camp" as:

1. Homosexual 2. exaggerated effeminate mannerisms exhibited especially by
homosexuals 3. Something so outrageously artificial, affected, inappropriate
or out-of-date as to be considered amusing

Did anyone notice the black bag that Andrew used for storing the insulin
vials and the needles?  It appeared to have some writing on the side, but
I could only make out  ??nny von Bulo? and underneath that ??wport R?
Does this refer to an early episode or to perhaps another case that
Coop investigated?

Also, where did James get the panties with LP printed on them?  Donna
didn't appear amused when James sniffed them, smiled, am
and then put them on.  At least we got to see James with something more
than a blank stare on his face, and Donna showing an expression that made
sense in the context of the scene.

Maybe yes, maybe no.  What's your objection to the statement per se,
without the emotional content you seem to have added?

I'm not so sure about that.  If you read the critics' reviews of the
show, especially those written after the first season, you might want to
conclude otherwise.  I thought the Monica Collins report and the various
articles about TP in TV Guide lately have been the ultimate in
hypocritical critique.

First of all, it is clear from the content that these people never
understood the point of TP (I'm not sure I do, but I know it wasn't
"who killed Laura Palmer?").

Secondly, while they lauded TP for its originality at the beginning,
once it was clear that "WKLP" was not the point of the show, these
impatient pat-solution-addicted folks turned sour on TP and lambasted
it for being slow and too complex (which is largely what they originally
lauded it for: original and intriguing).

Third, if these guys had any real talent, they'd be creating shows
instead of stupid (and vicious) reviews of them.

And last (maybe), if they had any brains, they'd still be fans.

Most people who watch TV are pretty brain-dead anyway, and that covers a
fair segment of American society as a whole.  Why else would anyone sit
staring at a slew of mindless sitcoms when quality TV can be had every
Saturday night at 10PM (EST & PST) on ABC (and a very few other times)?
And why else would TP be sliding into 76th place in the ratings race?
Middle America doesn't watch quality TV, and that stands for about 75%
of the population (guesstimate, but the Neilsens are based on them, so
they're _supposed_ to represent us all).

I've been wondering what Briggs meant by this statement. It seemed
to me that he was still having a delusion (or that his consciousness was
indeed in two places at once...one on the throne, and one in the sherrif's
office.) 

But anyway, what do you fellow Peakers speculate that the Major meant
by that statement?! I think it's important, but I don't know what to

 O.K. here's another one for those who think Lynch et al. have seen
every movie ever produced and have worked most into T.P.  I saw a
listing in the T.V. Guide for a late night movie:

    *** One-Eyed Jacks (western, 1961) Marlon Brando, Karl Malden

The 1/26 episode of Twin Peaks wasn't seen in the Boston area, but fortunately
I have a friend with a VCR in a place where it shown.  It would be interesting
to track where it was and wasn't shown.  Anyway.... (DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T
SEEN 1/26).




MAJOR SPOILERS.....

In talking with people who have seen 1/26, my impression is that either one
will think that it's the best Twin Peaks ever, or the worst Twin Peaks.  No
one I've talked to has had lukewarm reactions.
 
I think that a lot of the compliants the 1/26 wasn't "Twin Peaks" enough are
misplaced.  I see 1/26 as Lynch trying to parody comedy in much the same way
he tries to parody soap operas in the rest of the show.

The pie fight scene was one of the best scenes to have appeared on Twin Peaks
thus far.  It seems that Lynch is not only a dramatic director of first rate
(Maddy's death), but that he is also an excellent comedic director.  Indeed,
the rather poignant ending to that scene could almost be described as 
"tragic" relief, bringing the reader back down to reality and showing how
low Ben has sunk.

(Did anyone notice the workman during the scene?  Was he fixing "sprinklers"
perhaps?)

I feel very sorry for people who missed the episode, because I doubt
they'll be able to piece together what happened this week from next
week's episode.  I'm almost convinced that Lynch knew in advance that
half of "Twin Peaks" viewers would miss this episode, and decided to
use this as an opportunity to take some very bold risks and to
experiment with the comedic side to the characters.  At the same time,
the plot in this episode reminds me a lot of "Candide" in that the
ending leaves off roughly where the beginning was.  As a result,
viewers who miss 1/26, might not even notice when they see the next
episode, and as a result they will be deprieved of some wonderful
insights into our favorite cast of characters along with some belly
laughs.

Anyway, try to get a copy of 1/26, you'll either love it or hate it.

-- The TV guide listing for the 2/2 episode here in Tucson says something
like "Cooper tells the story of Wyndham Earle to Sheriff Truman; Catherine
reveals something to an astonished Pete."  Can anyone tell me if that 
describes the 1/26 episode?  I hope so; I wouldn't mind being one week
behind the rest of the country, (it's better than missing an episode) but
I doubt that that's what will happen.

KGTV Channel 10, the ABC affiliate in San Diego, experienced sound 
problems during the 1/26/91 episode.  The audio level dropped so low that
it became impossible to hear any dialog.  Did any other part of the
country suffer this problem or was it limited to San Diego?  
Unfortunately, the problem occurred during the pivotal scene where Dick
died.  Just as Dick was about to utter his final words, the sound dropped
out :-(.  I'd appreciate it if someone would post Dick's last words.

Hey, I've seen a lot of questions/discussions in this group about
Deniece/Dennis and transvestites/transexuals. 99% of what I've read
is bullshit. Why? because no TV/TS is going to post to newsgroup
and put his/her name in the public arena for all to see. That's
why this is going to alt.personals and hopefully some kind soul
will send it on to the twin-peaks newsgroups. If you have a question
about the subject drop me a line via acs.
BTW Dennis is either a TV or a TG, he does not appear to be a TS.

Forgive me if this has been talked to death, but ch2 in SF
showed the first half of the syndicated Dune tonight.  It
was the first time I had watched it since starting to watch
TP.  I had (of course) never noticed that David Lynch
had a miner role in the movie.  Pretty sneaky,  all that
\spice\ covering his face.

I remember the radio/spoken part, but was the
rest of his scene in the original, or did the infamous
1/26 director, Alan Smithee, slip it in to spite him?

A great big thank you to everyone who responded to the request - you have helped
preserve the sanity of a very confused man.

The domino fills Josie with dread because "domino" was the name of a vi-clone
she used at UCSD (as recounted to Harry in TP 2000).

I seem to remember someone in TP 100? making this connection. Was it Donna

Speaking of Kimmie Robertson, has anyone noticed how much she looks
and sounds like Victoria Jackson of Saturday Night Live?  Does
anyone know if they're related?

I was asking if anyone has a tape of the commercial for TWIN PEAKS that
was used to introduce the show.  The commercial went as follows:

The camera slowly pans down a large table.  At the end of the table,
there is a tape player playing a tape.

The camera zooms past a group of donuts.  You can hear flies buzzing
around the donuts.

The camera stops at the tape player.  A hand clicks the tape player off.

The title "^T W I N  P E A K S^" appears on screen.

Can anyone give me a tape, please?

Thanks,

If it's a hoax, then won't this be revealed at the beginning of the
2/2 show?  I seem to recall "catch-up" bits from the previous show at
the start of each episode.

And, can we really believe there are 6+ plot derivations?  The
production expense of 6+ episodes for every one shown has to be
incredible. 

For me, I'll be looking at the 2/2 episode in relation to Leo Johnson.
He was shown interacting with Shelly at the end of 1/19.  If 2/2 picks
up where 1/19 left off, either my network affiliate is time shifting
(and I'll be forever a week behind, or there never was a 1/26.  I have
three good ABC signals (Indianapolis, Terre Haute, and Louisville).
I'll be checking them all!

Well, never let it be said again that only intellectual people watch
twin peaks. There seems to be a lot of people who haven't yet figured
out that 1/26 is a hoax, even after all the inconsistencies in the
stories about it.

Of course, maybe I'm just one of those people who didn't get it, and
I'm in denial :^).

I've been wondering too.
I hope we can get a discussion started. Like why did he keep grabbing
his wedding ring finger?  Was he grasping at the ring for comfort?
Was he unconsciously trying to tear it off?!  Remember the one-armed man's
reference to a ring of gold?  Significant?  Maybe. Maybe not.
 
My first reaction to his statement "Is this for my soul" was to
see the major as a man who was realizing, for the first time, that
Shamballa/The White Lodge could be a spiritual rather than a physical
reality and that the conflict of the lodges could be for souls.
But I'm not comfortable with that interpretation because although
the major works in the very practical world of the army, and uses
scientific tools to monitor heaven, he seems to also be quite spiritual/
religious.  Surely he must have considered the possibility before.

A short while ago I posted information about Cooper's New Love Interest
being the actress who played Nadine in Drugstore Cowboy.  I've finally found
out her name, it's Heather Graham.  Sorry I don't have any more information,
except that it was said in a magazine that her storyline would start early
in 1991.

Personally, I think this is one of those questions that will never be
definitively answered in the show.  I don't think it is a thread that
will be picked up later on.  I think Lynch/Frost intended for us to
"get it" the first time, though I guess they screwed up and didn't
make it clear enough.

I think that it was Jonathan because he later knew that Josie cared
about Harry, and would react to a threat against Harry.  (I don't
think Jonathan could just pick this up the way Cooper did.)  Thus,
Jonathan had a reason for spying on Josie, whereas Pete and Leo (other
candidates for the "man at the window") didn't.  Andrew might have a
reason for spying on Josie, but he also could probably find out
whatever he wanted to know about Josie from Catherine (unless he
doesn't trust Catherine either ... hmmm).

BTW, I think Andrew has been mentioned as a candidate before, though I
don't have the article references.  I think that line of speculation
started as soon as Andrew appeared.  Sorry.

One upshot of this is that even though some questions are frequently
asked and frequently answered, they may not be answered definitively.
My FAQ list reflects my interpretation.  Maybe I should include all
major alternative answers, so we don't start these debates over again
everytime I post the list.

Notice that just before this line (according to the approximate
synopsis that started this thread) he says:

"Perhaps there are pieces of information of such importance that
conspiracy does not justify their protection."

I think he is realizing that he is privy to knowledge of such great
importance to humanity that it may transcend his obligation as a
government servant to keep it secret.  Given his training to keep
secrets at all costs, this is a difficult burden and he is unsure that
he can bear the responsibility.

Well, I subscribed and haven't received my first issue, but I'm not worried yet

 I just saw the commercial for the 2/2 show, and it looks like Audrey
IS going to take over at the Great Noerthers. (So much for neat typing)
and there's a shot of Leo with an axe!!!!!  Does this mean we here in Seattle 
are going to miss the 1/26 show entirely?

OK, there's been some debate about whether the ungulate in 1/26 was a
llama, an alpaca or what, so I did a little research.  I looked up
some pictures of all of the various candidate species and ran them
through a digitzer.  I'll put them up here, and you can download one
of the frames from that scene from uunet and compare for yourself.

Unfortunately the pictures came out a little small, though, so it's
best to view them on a display with at least 2048 pixels per inch
(4096 is better), or else a lot of the detail is going to be lost.

OK:

LLAMA:                      ~m

VICUNA:                     ~m

ALPACA:                     ~m

and just for comparison, here's a

CAMEL:                      ~m

I think you'll all agree these show pretty conclusively that the
animal is a llama.  Either that or a brontosaurus, but market research
says dinosaurs are pretty much for the kidvid market only.

WILL SOMEBODY WITH A LEVEL FUCKING HEAD TELL ME THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 1/26/91
EPISODE!!!!!?????!!!!!?????
I used to think that you guys were fun, but evidently a few of you decided
to hatch a plot to make all of us that did not watch TV that night really
pissed off that we did. Those of you(and you know who you are) forgot to
take into account the fact that you are dealing with an obsessed group
of people here. These are people, much like myself, that get extremely
upset when we see notices at the end of the show that say "in two weeks"
because some people have taken a joke a little too far, many people, 
I am sure, have become irritated and will probably never read this line
again (notice the distinct lack of postings in the last few days? I used
to read 50-80 in a day, the last 3 days-NONE!!!) If this line dies because
a few people went too far with a practical joke, it will be a shame. I
enjoy reading alt.tv.twin-peaks because of the insight on shows that
actually exist, and not for practical jokes. I hope that this post 
straightens things out, and I will wait to hear about the 2/2 episode, that
is, if it really exists. I am sure that I am going to get a lot of hate
mail from this, but I think that a practical joke, no matter how good, 
can only be taken so far, and this is beyond limits. Anyone who agrees with
me can also mail. I'll sure be able to use the support. Thanks for letting
me get this out of the way.

I'm hoping that the end of the Jean Renault plotline means a 
cessation of TP's relentless portrayal of Canadians as evil, crooked,
or both.  (I bet the RCMP is pissed about that bad Mountie, especially
because of his comic-opera ceremonial-uniform initial appearance.)
 
Anyway, the tide may have turned, if we can read anything into Lynch's 
(or Badalamenti's) choice of Vancouver's "Doug and the Slugs" as Julee
Cruise's (onscreen) back-up band in the 1-26 episode.

Okay, okay.  Ha ha.  I sincerely apologize for pooping on everyone's party,
but it's time to tell people that this whole 1/26 thing is a big ruse.
I'm not trying to be haughty or self-righteous about his sort of thing;
it's just that there are *A LOT* of people out there who are really into
Twin Peaks, and it's a big deal to them if they've missed an episode.
It's time to stop freaking them out.  I, for one, initially panicked
when I thought that I had missed an episode of my favorite show.

So, I'm going out on a limb--flame away if you like--and saying that
this whole business about a 1/26 episode is a big EKOJ!  (ie. Joke --  someone
posted a summary of the final scene of the supposed 1/26 episode,
saying that the word "EKOJ" was written in sticks--clever).

Anyway, anyone out there who is truly disappointed about missing a 1/26
episode, take heart.  Nothing was missed.

To those who participated in the hoax--kudos for your cleverness.  Ever
thought of submitting a script to Lynch/Frost (some of that stuff was
pretty good).

-Fred Cheng

Yesterday, when I was visiting the Colonel, I saw a couple who looked
a lot like Leo and Shelley (except they seemed to like each other
and "Leo" was not comatose nor did he have birthday cake smeared
on his face). I guess it's a case of seeing what's on your mind;
when the BOB storyline was upfront, I saw lots of BOBs walking
down the street.

At the doctor's office recently, I saw a receptionist who greatly
resembled Donna (interesting, since her father IS a doctor).

Look, you missed the episode.  Now you're trying to convince others
*that it didn't even exist*.  Geez, take a Valium, ABC will probably
repeat it and you can catch it then.

I would like to see the widow as Bob's host, Bob is using her
temporary until he can find a new host.  Maybe Bob was
was in her and try to enter her husband before he died.
Maybe the husband had heart attack when he saw his wife's
true colors, (BOB), and the shock caused his death.
 
So, all the men attracted to the widow are actually being
baited to become Bob's new host.

P.S.  sorry I've forgotten the widow's character name.

Well, here it is. "Coop.  I may be wearing a dress, but I still put my

Hopefully this file will work for you (although I can't for the life of me
remember whether or not those line feeds are supposed to be like that).

If a lot of people have trouble with this I'll repost it at a later date.

On another note.  I'll be reposting the first six archives (the last two of
which no one has heard yet [but which do include the entire "Sheriff Truman,
I love you" speech and more] as well as the new sounds I've recorded since
then, like "She killed him with SEX!").  Look for an announcement here just
as soon as I find a site that will accept more than one archive at a time.

First of all, the above posting is all part of a hoax intended to get us
to believe that the 1/26 episode never happened. Well all of us who saw
the show know the truth. Unfortunately, I seemed to have recorded over
my tape and now I'm in need of a copy of the 1/26 episode! I would be
willing to trade for a copy of my newly released Japanese laserdisc
version of the Twin Peaks pilot, you know the one discussed here a week
ago - the 5 hour version that contains scenes never before seen in
either the US or European versions? You may remember that we discussed
the much longer dream/dwarf sequence and the early appearance of the
giant just before the scene with Mike and Bobby in jail, etc. This is
desperate!

   Lynch/Frost have painted themselves into so many corners in 1/26 (plus
there are arguments with all the people who put in cameo appearances:
Cybille Shephard, Bruce Willis, John Cleese, Prunella Scales, the Bunny)
over what share of the residuals they're entitled to that they have decided
to retroactively cancel the episode by launching a disinformation campaign
that it never happened.  

   Fortunately, limited edition videos of this hard-to-find episode are availa-
ble.  Send a shoebox with $100 in unmarked bills to:

Kimmy robertson also had a bit part as a hairdresser in a episode of
Married with Children... which was aired last season. When I first saw TP
I knew that I recognised her from somewhere. It was her voice that tipped
me off. Hope this helps. AND CUT THE SHIT ABOUT THE 1/26/91 EPISODE!!!
WHAT DID THEY DO, DECIDE TO SHOW IT ON A TOWN-BY-TOWN BASIS IN CALIFORNIA?
WILL SOMEONE ADMIT THAT IT DOESN'T EXIST? ANYONE?

I do not agree that Leo had BOB in him when we saw him awake with
cake on his face...if the gifted and the damned see BOB with his real
face, wouldn't Shelley qualify as DAMNED?  (I would certainly agree).
If this is the case, why wouldn't we have seen Leo with BOB superimposed?

The BOB story line is *always* upfront.

They're not going to repeat the 1/26 show???  I missed the first 10 minutes!

The rest of it was sort of confusing; I'm not sure *how* Donna got through
Evelyn's pack of trained Attack Owls to rescue James, but I liked the bits
of the scene that I saw.  Sort of an interesting Gothic viewpoint placed
on a house we've seen more normally in previous episodes.

On another note, I thought that it was Mrs. Tremond in that Weird Sisters
scene, not Mrs. Hayward; but I have a small tv and the smoky atmosphere
of the scene sort of confused things.

Anyway, if *anyone* can get me a copy of the 1/26 episode, please send
me mail.  I *must* see that opening scene!

It's been mentioned several times.  I thought it was insulin; other
thought it was morphine or Blue Goo (tm).  You don't even have to
freeze-frame to see it.  Hell, I won't even have a VCR until a few
more people send me money.

It was Phil Silvers, which is inspired casting if you know about the
Phil Silvers/Dalai Lama controversy.  Y'see images of the Dalai Lama
are highly illegal in Tibet.  The Dalai Lama looks amazingly like Phil
Silvers, though, so people started smuggling Sgt. Bilko images into
Tibet.

That's because it wasn't Nepalese, it was Tibetan.  Not even in the
same language *family*.  Are you sure your friend wasn't pulling your
leg?  People have been known to make stuff up about this episode, you
know.

(The Tibetan was just a bunch of Lamaistic mumbo-jumbo about some
white (or maybe cream-colored?) building--a barracks or guest house?
(Outhouse?)  I know Burmese, which is from the other end of the
Tibeto-Burman family, but my Tibetan is pretty marginal.  I can
recognize it when it's spoken, but that's about it.)

Hope this helps.
