Season 2, Episode 16: The Condemned Woman — February 16–March 27, 1991

The late Leland Palmer, aka Killer BOB, has resurfaced on another <initials>
show: StarTrek: The Next Generation (STTNG). The 2.27 episode here in Happy
Valley shows that the Leland whacko persona has survived transmutation,
transportation, time distortion, and a lot of poor dialogue.

He still rants, he still raves over a lost love one (did his wife really
die in a flood - or was it BOB?) and goes gonzo weird. Ah, consustency.
He truly is now a man from a different place.

I know: TP LIVES in another dimension!

   I don't think there was ever a consensus reached here on the net.
   Many thought it was the shadow of a boot (ie. a reference to Leo's
   boots which would latter be found at his house).  Others thought it
   was a bird.  Whether it was Waldo or an Owl caused another split.
   I think only Lynch will answer for sure what it was.

Canto VI of the OF features a witch named Alcina, who ensnares knights
with her beauty (much like the widow Milford), and when she tires of
them:
"And, lest her disappointed lovers spread
Report of this lascivious life of hers,
She plants them in a very different bed,
Converting them to palm trees or to firs,
Or olive-trees, or cedars, or instead,
The lesser status of a bush confers,
Or turns them into animals or streams,
Or any form that pleasing to her seems."

than in the Furioso, but I thought you'd appreciate the quote.

Saturday, Mar 2nd

This morning when I checked into my e-mailbox, I found a couple dozen
responses from TP fans who are getting involved in COOP.  Super!  I had
been getting a wee bit burned out on the whole project, since it's
taking so much time away from my usual writing obligations, but when I
get your cards and letters, I feel re-inspired.  Please keep talkin',
and let me know about your plans for a COOP chapter in your area.

If you want to help the cause, but you don't have much time to devote,
choose one of the following:
   1 min. --> call a local/campus radio station and ask them if they know
                 about COOP yet
   2 min. --> call a local/campus radio station and ask them to do a
 announcement about COOP 
   5 min. --> send off for a T-shirt and the letterhead
   10 min. --> call a half-dozen fellow Peakheads and ask them if
   they'd be interested in being an *officer* (wow--
   big trip, huh?  be a COOP *president" already (-:)
   20 min. --> post the info on a local/student b-board (both electronic
                and otherwise)
   1-2 hrs. --> post the info on *lots* of local/student b-boards
   2-4 hrs. --> throw a COOP party at your place

Please note that with *none* of these options are you required to get
heavily involved, committed, or otherwise time-drained.  You can choose
exactly how much or how little you want to do.

And then write to the newsgroup, or write to me, and brag all about what
you did.

Well until recently it was an OPEN-ENDED series.  It only showed signs of
having an end a few weeks ago.

It is also, as I'm sure you can see even from three episodes, an incredibly
complex series.

Well, since it looks like in the US we are not likely to 
see new episodes of TP for a while, I thought it would be interesting
to have another survey of alt.tv.twin-peaksers.  The subject is your
favorite episodes of Twin Peaks.  Since by now UK viewers have found 
out WKLP and have seen the next one or two episodes, I request them
to respond as well.
Basically, I would like to receive a list of your three favorite
episodes, by number and short synopsis of the subject matter.  You are
given ten points in total, which you may divide among the three episodes
as weights.  So for example, if your favorite episode of all time is 
2008, you can assign it eight points, and give one point to your other
two favorites.  Or you can give four to your favorite and three to your
other two favorites; you get the idea.
If there is enough response, I hope to post the results soon.
Hope to hear from you all!!

I like it!  Here are some ideas, in case anyone out there is planning to do it:

  - roomful of TP fans watching whatever ABC puts on in place of TP; watch
    for a few seconds, then turn to the camera together and go "yuck!" and
    stick in a tape of a TP episode and cheer when the opening credits come
    on.

  - people watching a few seconds of whatever TP is replaced by, then
    switching off the set and putting a log on top of it and smiling
    contentedly.

  - a figure with long grey hair and jean jacket crawling over a bed in a
    bright white spotlight going "Iger!  What happened to Twin Peaks????!?"

(Lots more possibilities, of course... these are just off the top of my head).

Welp, since our esteemed president Bob Cappel hasn't posted yet, 
the co-director of Iowa City COOP (aka yours truly) will be happy
to let y'all know how our COOP party went.

We held it at a local restaurant (no charge for the space, cause
people attending bought lots o food).  We showed old episodes, fed
people donuts, took donations, and sold T-shirts and buttons.  

When all was said and done, we had about 100 letters, 100 new COOP
members, 20 T-shirt orders, and a bunch of button orders.  We also
met all the other people in the community who were organizing
petitions and letterwriting campaigns.

In conjunction with this, we ran an all-day promotional campaign 
on the UIowa music station -- lots of mentions, cuts from the
soundtrack and the Cooper tapes, and Peaks trivia.

We'd encourage people to form chapters.  You *can* have an effect,
it isn't hard, and we've had a *lot* of fun.

The episode in question, for those that don't already know, is "Who
Watches the Watchers?", a show from early *third* season ST:TNG (preceding
_Twin Peaks_ by a good six months).  Ray Wise plays a Stone Age Vulcanoid
named "Liko" that forms a religious cult around Captain Picard after
accidental contact with the crew.  With the Prime Directive now violated
and Troi (disguised as a Vulcan) in danger, Picard has to convince the
tribe that he is not a god, but just a man with several thousand years
of technology on his side.  Liko, of course, can't believe a word of it...

But I think you will find that as we in America have, that the murder itself
takes a back seat to developing the entire "Mythos of Twin Peaks".

After all....the play is the thing....

Has anyone been able to compile a map of Twin Peaks? I realise the geographic
references given in the show are limited but it may be possible.

Episodes 2014 (?) through 2016 had what appeared to be a map (of TP?) on the
blackboard in the Sheriff's office conference room. 

Alternatively, has anyone compiled a list of the addresses mentioned on the 
program (eg. Dr. Jacoby's office on Sparkwood road).

 At the meeting of COOP here in Iowa City, we watched various clips, and
I noticed a couple of clues I missed before. In the very first episode,
I think right at the beginning when Pete found Laura's body, there is a
shot of Josie standing there wearing her vicuna coat and black gloves,
the outfit she was wearing when she shot Cooper. Also, in the dream
with the LMFAP, there is a shot with the Dwarf in front of a red curtain
shaking, and making noises like he's sobbing or laughing or something.
Well, in the episode where we, the audience, discover that Leland is BOB,
Cooper and Truman talk to Leland in the Great Northern. There's a shot of
a doorway, and Leland goes around the corner, and then there's a shot
of Leland, with his back to the camera, standing in front of a red
curtain laughing, just like the Dwarf was doing. Some people don't agree
with me, but I think the Dwarf is Leland, or at least represents Leland.

In on final complaint, here in Iowa City last Saturday, in the Twin Peaks
timeslot, the local ABC station showed an episode of Magnum, P.I.. Great.
They dump Twin Peaks cuz they don't like the ratings, and then rerun a show
that has been off the air for a few years. ABC. Network of Mental Giants.

The Giant never claimed that any of the things he mentioned were prophecies,
only true statements. He said them to Coop only so that when Coop found
them to be true independently, Coop would be able to trust whatever else
the Giant might have to tell him.

Since "The owls are not what they seem" was the message that appeared on
the Major's deep space monitor (and note: it didn't necessarily come from
aliens -- Briggs' superior officer told Coop later that the signals did
*not* originate from space), Coop seems to have "interpreted" this "clue"
to indicate that the Giant had sources of knowledge beyond Coop's.

The content of the clue hasn't been explained sufficiently, but that's
neither here nor there. The *significance* of the clue has certainly been
established.

If I recall correctly, wasn't Leland walking down the hall on his way to
where the OAM was.  Didn't the camera go back and forth a couple times 
between the OAM and Leland making his way closer?

It could mean the OAM felt BOB so strongly that he could feel him approching
and collapsed just before BOB/Leland entered the room.  I *think* I remember 
thinking that the secret was almost discovered and that Ben had a very
unlucky break.

Anyone else?

The best part, in retrospect, was that Liko wanted to believe in God
because he was traumatized over the recent death of his family.  I watched
the end of RoboCop last night just to see what Ray Wise looks like when
he's not overcome with grief or grinning maniacally.

I'm not sure if I've seen all the Twin Peaks there are
to be seen.   The last episode that I saw ended with the 
ol' "let's bring back BOB and the dwarf, kill Josie, put
her in a drawer knob, sit back and see how many people 
complain that we're ending the series" scene. 

Is there another episode or two after this that I missed?

Yes.... Waltzing Matilda is a real song..  Let's see from what I can remember
it originated in Australia, I believe during the 1800's.  Sorry I can only 
remember the following 

Waltzing Matilda
Waltzing Matilda
Oh you'll come a waltzing Matilda with me

Hi,
Does anyone know, definitively, what time of day and what day
the next TP will be aired (next, to me, means the one after Josie in
the drawer knob.)

Thanks!

Diary!  Diary!

I had a Laura Palmer / Bob dream a couple months ago.  I was in
the morgue with Laura's dead body when she opened her eyes and sat
up.  She was still blue, but she looked straight at me and gave me

The song "Waltzing Matilda" was recently re-recorded by the Irish 
band The Pogues, perhaps three years ago. I can't remember the name
of the album the song appeared on, but it was a very good version
of the song. Any of The Pogues albums are a good investment. 
Depending on the date of the entry in the diary, it's likely Laura
was writing about this version.

As I remember, the show picked up two Emmys for costume and scene
design (I THINK -- please, if someone knows for sure, help
me out).  Kyle MacLachlan and Piper Laurie received
Golden Globe awards for their acting (did the show itself
win, too?  How quickly I forget!)

Thanks to all the people who sent in ballots; I think I'll
keep collection them for about another week.  If you haven't sent 
in your ballot, a reminder that you are voting for your three
favorite Twin Peaks episodes.  You are given ten points to allot,
however you want among the three.  
Here is an example from one person's response:

Waltzing Matilda is indeed a real song. I believe it's
australian, although it might just be associated with Australia. The
lyrics of it that I remember are:
"Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda. She'll come a-waltzing in
with me. And they sang as they waltzed," da da da da da da da dum,
"Waltzing Matilda" da da dum.
You get the idea.

Easy. Can you tell me what Laura said about it? ( and no, it hasn't
been played on TP ).

WM is perhaps the most famous Australian folk/popular song. Words by
A.B. ("Banjo") Paterson ( who also wrote the poem "The Man From Snowy
River" with which the movie has nothing in common except the title ).
Music - "traditional".
The second most popular folk song, and the most recorded, is Eric Bogle's
"And the Band Played Waltzing Mathilda", so you can see how important WM is.

It's a ballad about a swagman - these days you'd call him a 'homeless person' -
and his death, resisting arrest for the crime of sheep-theft. We nearly made
it the national anthem. And yes - there's a ghost in it. 

I'm incredibly tempted to post the words but it just doesn't seem relevant
enough!

[ .sig is from a Bushwacker's Band album called "And the Band Played 
Waltzing Mathilda" which I recommend heartily to anyone who wants to hear
WM and Bogle's song - Sam]

Let's put this topic out of its misery :

Waltzing Matilda is a REAL song.  In fact for those of you with
such limited general knowledge as demonstrated by responses to
this subject, it WAS the Australian National Anthem.  It has
since been replaced as the National Anthem by Advance Australia

(posting this from a very large island in the southern hemisphere which

invisible to the north american psyche....are we invisible or what!!!)

 couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I was going to start watching
Twin Peaks in real time, seeing each episode on the DAY that it was
intended to take place on. I've been doing this for four days now
and I find it to be very enlightening. Today (Monday) I witnessed
Laura's funeral. Albert and his team arrived yesterday, cousin
Maddy arrived today. You don't realize it watching from week to week
but there is a real pace to this show. I've been trying to
keep track of where everybody is at what time. The only inconsistency
I've seen so far is Catherine asking her husband yesterday (Sunday)
what that FBI man wanted "today". Of course, the FBI man had been
there the previous day (Saturday). I suspect they filmed that
scene before realizing it was going to go in a different episode.

I heartily recommend seeing the show this way especially now that
it's that time of year (late February, early March). You can even
start this Friday and get a sense of the flow. The timeline posted
in alt.tv.twin-peaks is especially valuable for this.

I remember seeing a TP "map" in Newsweek slightly before TP began in the US.

Please forgive my ignorance but I thought that the Giant implied, in his
conversations with Cooper, that he was there to help Cooper. I assumed the
3/4 statements were actually clues ("Leo locked inside a hungry horse" was
certainly important) and not simply a means of establishing the Giant's
bona fides.

Excerpt from the article "Sloping off" in the Economist (March 2, 1991):

Sloping off

But the failure of "Twin Peaks" has been too spectacular (its most 
recent rating placed it 85th out of 89 network shows) to be blamed on 
bad scheduling. In fact, the second season of "Twin Peaks" has been much
inferior to the first.The first warning sign came when Mr Lynch and his
partner, Mark Frost, failed to resolve the show's central theme, "Who 
Killed Laura Palmer?" before the three-month summer break.  By the time 
the programme resumed last autumn, much of the tension that had 
surrounded Miss Palmer's murder had faded away.

Making matters worse, the show took a marked turn towards the fantastic.
Mr Lynch and Mr Frost had previously done a brilliant job of parodying a
number of television and film genres--the soap-opera, the mystery, film
noir--without sacrificing the elements of each that gave them their 
suspense.  Their flair for the surreal and the genuinely scary kept the 
show's tone too ominous to be dismissed as camp.  But when the programme
shifted from the hyper-real to the super-natural--coded radio signals 
from space, Laura's killer turning out to have been an elusive spirit 
who inhabited her father's body--it quickly became disappointingly 
silly.

I agree with the above, except weren't the signals FROM Earth TO space?

Not quite...

``Waltzing Matilda'' is an old (possibly traditional?) Australian song,
played at public gatherings like parades and Rotary Club meetings.  (Check
out the film _The Coca-Cola Kid_.)  Someone from Oz could probably clarify
this.

Recently (in the last twenty years or so) folksinger Eric Bogle wrote an
antiwar song called ``And the Band Played `Waltzing Matilda' ''---about the
bitterness a crippled soldier feels upon his homecoming.  This is the song
covered by the Pogues on their album _Rum, Sodomy, and the Lash_.  I don't
remember which Eric Bogle album the original is on, but you might want to
look for it---it has a much different feel from the Pogues.

There are some people who would also take issue with your claim that the
Pogues are Irish, but I won't touch that...

Hey!  He was aspen for it!  It's interesting to see the discussion

"It's not that I don't have the work to *do* -- I don't do the work I *have*."

The following article appears in the March 8 issue of Entertainment.
Typed without permission.

Saturday Night Dead

"We're in trouble, and we need help."  With those words, spoken at a press
conference on the set of the Great Northern Hotel, David Lynch acknowledged
the grim news: Twin Peaks, the critically acclaimed, anemically rated prime-
time soap he created with Mark Frost, is out of business, and only public 
support can save it from cancellation.  On Feb. 15, ABC suspended Peaks from its
lineup, and said that it would air this season's six remaining episodes at
an unspecified date.  Such a move usually portends doom for a series, so
Lynch and Frost are entreating fans to write to entertainment chief Robert
Iger and lobby ABC for a new time slot--preferably Wednesdays at 10 p.m., where
Equal Justice now airs.  "Our audience doesn't stay home on Saturdays," says
Frost.  "We'd like to be on a week night--that gives people a chance to talk
about it the next day at the office."

Fans have reacted swiftly and, of course, eccentrically.  In Washington, D.C.,
a rally sponsored by the ad-hoc committee COOP (Citizens Opposing the 
Offing of Peaks) drew over 200 people, many of them bearing owls, logs, eye
patches, and cherry pies; according to organizer H. Keith Poston, several
fans dressed in Saran Wrap as a sartorial tribute to the late Laura Palmer.
Since then, COOP's ranks have swelled to 5000 in seven cities.  Peaks' 
imperiled status has also roused Viewers for Quality Television, the
organization that aided successful write-in efforts to save Cagney & Lacey
and Designing Women.  On Feb. 21, the group urged ABC to give the series
"more time to spin its unique web" and offered to assist fans in a 
save-the-show campaign. 

Last fall, Twin Peaks performed solidly on Saturdays--the episode that revealed
Laura's murderer ranked 44th in the Nielsens--but when the mystery ended,
producer-writer Harley Peyton admits, Peaks hit a mild creative slump
("We couldn't just have another homicidal maniac arrive in town the next day")
and after several preemptions, ratings plummeted.  When Peaks returns, a 
special may recap current plotlines, and Lynch will direct the season's
final hour--a showdown between Cooper and psychotic ex-FBI agen Windom
Earle("Our cross between Hannibal Lecter and Soupy Sales," says Peyton) that ends
with a "phenomenal cliff-hanger.

If ABC cancels Twin Peaks, Lynch and Frost may sell the series to another
network or seek foreign financing; the show is already an enormous hit in 
England, Italy, and spain.  In any even, Lynch will remain busy.  This
spring, he'll cowrite and direct On the Air, a "completely wacko" ABC
comedy pilot about television's early days, and French businessman Francis
Bouygues has agreed to provide $70 million for Lynch's next three films.

Lynch urges viewers to write to Iger (some fans have already sent him stale
doughnuts) at 2040 Avenue of the Stars, Century City, Calif. 90067.
"If this show is going to go on," he says, "people have got to write in.
I'm sure Bob would love to hear from you."

Please excuse any typos; I've got to run to class!

--Jeff Schwartz

Kyle Machlahan (Secret Agent Cooper on Twin Peaks) was interviewed
this morning on the AM San Francisco program on Ch. 2.  He was being
interviewed about his role in the Doors movie, but I caught it just as he
was being asked about TP.

The interviewer asked him if there was, at this point in the remaining 
unaired six episodes, a resolution to the series.  Kyle said that as they were
written intending for the show to continue, the last shows were open
ended and the viewers might be left hanging forever.

He was then asked why TP was cancelled.  He gave a very frank answer
composed of 2 points:  One which he blamed ABC for putting the program
on Saturday nights.  The other one he blamed Lynch and Frost for not getting
more involved in the series.  He said the actors signed on to do a Lynch/Frost
production, but they left it in the hands of other people this year and went
off to do other projects.

Finally, he was asked about his feelings, if he would like to see Twin Peaks
continue.  He said that he would if they could restore the quality that was
there originally (which I take to mean the first season of shows).  He also said
that he loved playing the character (Cooper) and that he also liked the fine
directors that they had working on Twin Peaks this year.  But if they could
not bring back the quality or if Lynch/Frost did not get more involved, he
would just as soon not go on and savor the memories of the last 2 seasons of
Twin Peaks.

I sure do hope everyone here who reads this newsgroup is writing to ABC
asking them to bring back Twin Peaks.  I think that the networks DO listen
to the letters, especially if there are lots of them, as you can see by the
Quantam Leap Ad on NBC about the viewer mail asking that QL be
restored to Wed. nights again.

ATTN ALL PEAKS FANS: COOP NEEDS YOU FRIDAY!

Before I begin the purpose of this memo, anyone who takes part in this MUST
do two things:

1)  Try their best to NOT let ABC in on the following plan.  It could collapse
    as a result.   

2)  You MUST respond to me, Bob Cappel, at one of the following email
    addresses and tell me that you did this.
    
    czahrt@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu
    cappel@umaxc.weeg.uiowa.edu


Finally, the purpose of this memo.  

We need your help this Friday, March 8th.  Friday will be the first organized
and synchronized COOP attempt at activism in support of Twin Peaks.  We need
your help and it will only take a moment of your time.

On Thursday, March 7, prepare yet another letter of protest fo FAX to BOB
Iger, ABC Entertainment President.  Make it polite, to the point, and identify
yourself as an active member of COOP.  Once drafted,save it till Friday.

On Friday, at 12:30 EST (11:30 CST, 10:30 MST, 9:30 PST) we begin.  At that
moment and not a moment sooner please call one of the numbers below to protest
the cancellation of Peaks.  Ask for BOB Iger.  You won't get through to him,
but convey your message of protest to the receptionist.  Be polite, brief,
identify yourself as a member of COOP, identify your city and state, and
get off the telephone.  Call only once.  Following your call, FAX
your letter to one of the FAX numbers below.

Fo those who cannot get through in LA, call the Audience Relations/NYC number
listed below.  If  at all possible, get through to LA, but don't give up
simply because you could not get through.

At 2:00 pm EST (1:00 CST, 12:00 MST, 11:00 PST) we end.  At that moment, and
not a moment later, please stop calling ABC.  Our object is to politely tie
up the ABC Entertainment Division with our concerns.  The more precision we
apply to our actions, the more daunting they become.

Friday's action is an excercise, a drill.  We want to see just what computer
wise Twin Peaks fans can do.  All of us in COOP believe that the INTERNET
will play a key role in our campaign, if not lead it.  As our vanguard, we
trust you will participate on Friday.

Once again, please write me, or respond to this note after you have made
your call and sent your FAX.  The reason for this is so we may send an
accurate accounting of how many took place to the press.

Here are the numbers:

Well so NEXT time you're going to lead the way in a "collaborative"
article that the net population writes?

I mean, if not now, then when?  (for multimedia, participatory
writing, etc.)

It sounds like a good idea to show the huge amount of support for Twin Peaks.
However, there are several problems.  You called the attention of all
"Twin Peaks" fans.  However, some of us are not in a chapter of COOP
(such as I, in Cleveland)  Also, some of us do not have access to a fax 
machine.  However, I, for one, would like to participate in a massive effort
to save Twin Peaks.  I have written my letter, but is there something I, and
other's in my similar situation, could do to be involved?

Yours,
Keith

It's a reference to a science-fiction story that takes place in the near
or not-so-near future.  The tag line is from some game show, and is usually
the game show host asking the audience: "Will you buy *that* for a buck?".
Unfortunately, I don't remember the plot, author or name of that particular
story.  The game show was only incidental to the plot, if I remember
correctly.

The implication is that the thing, thought, idea, opinion, or whatever is
worth a little bit, but not much.  It's worth enough to spend a buck on,
but not more.  In the story, the line was considered quite hilarious (at
least by the game show audience -- which was portrayed as being similar
to the audience on "Let's Make a Deal" or "Funniest Home Videos").

On that Behind the Scenes: Twin Peaks and Cop Rock, there was a vague map
showing general locations. Don't know of it's validity, though.

Actually that is not right-the Pogues's song is actually "And the Band Played
Waltzing Mathilda" which is not anything like the real Waltzing Mathilda.
The real Waltzing Mathilda is the unofficial Australian anthem-equivalent to,
say, "My Country 'Tis of Thee".  It's a fairly old song, all about a rover
who steals a sheep and gets caught (there's a bit more than that of course).
The Pogues song is an anti-war song. The title comes from the playing of
Waltzing Mathilda as the ship of troops heads for Gallipoli. Hope that clears
things up.

The tune to Waltzing Matilda goes something like:

G G GG C / B B BBflat A  ...

The tune was also prominently featured in the movie version of
Neville Chute's "On The Beach".  It's very sad, and very beautiful.

It's ironic that there isn't a Seattle-area chapter of COOP, since this 
is where Twin Peaks was filmed.... Or is there?

I would be thrilled to start one - except as a JUNIOR HIGH student, I 
would have limited time and money resources for it. Sorry - but my grades 
are far more important to me than Peaks. I'd be glad to join - but 
anything I'd do to start a chapter would be ineffectual at best.

If you are a Peaks fan you ARE a COOP member, more or less. Some cities
don't have chapters yet because the entire organization is less than 2 weeks
old!!!!! Keith, just start one in Cleveland. I don't think anyone has
as of yet.

As for a fax machine...just go to a Kinko's or some other massive copy
center. They will send a fax for you for $1 or so. Small price for
the show.

If you can't fax...still...PLEASE call during the times mentioned, then
email me so I can keep track. That's how you can get involved!


Long Live Agent Cooper!

I'm sorry about the lack of warning, but the Twin Peaks
archive will be out of action for the next couple of days.

I'm in the process of rationalising servers, and the disk that
the archive was on was moved to a new machine.  I had some 
problems with the transfer, so it's taken a bit longer than 
what I expected.  The archive should be available from the 
8th at its new address of:
  audrey.sait.edu.au [130.220.16.88]

I hope that this won't inconvenience too many people.

<peter@audrey.sait.edu.au>

Keep those survey responses coming. Trends have indicated a lead by
some program shown on FOX, followed not too far behind by an NBC show
and a show from an independent network. Oh, before I forget, I am reminding
those who answered "No, not yet but I plan to" to question 10 not to forget
sending in their letters.

I plan on posting results on Thursday, March 7 (to allow for network latency).
I've included a copy of the questionnaire in case you missed the original 
posting.

The story is "The Marching Morons" by C.M. Kornbluth, one of the scariest
but most pertinent Sci-Fi stories I've ever read.

Oh, bull.  I am a big TWIN PEAKS fan, and I think this COOP business is
nonsense.  It's not going to help bring the show back.  It's just an
excuse to form another club.  More power to you, but leave me out.

Every letter ABC gets from an ordinary nonaffiliated citizen is worth
ten fan club form letters.

If you read Lauras secret diary, she mentions that she got a horse for her 
12th (?) birthday, and later on she sets it free.  It runs wild and gets killed.
Maybe that was a ghost?

There is a version of this song by Tom Waits on the "Small Change"
album.  This version is not call Waltzing Matilda - I believe it's
called Tom Traubert's Blues or something like that.

Those of you boycotting ABC may want to make a half-hour exception tonight;
"Anything But Love" has a short Twin Peaks parody in it!

It's pretty funny... Jamie Lee Curtis as Audrey is a cute idea, and she

[somebody identifies C.M. Kornbluth's fine short story "The Marching

I believe that in the story the line is "Would you buy it for a quarter?"  
 Supposedly the program is smutty enough to make the time-traveler 
watching it blush.....

I disagree with the above.  (I bet by now everybody was expecting me to do
so, eh?)  I don't think just because a show dares to be rampantly
supernatural it is in any way silly.  Certainly it may cause some of the
more boring parts of the audience (namely, the ones who were watching it
purely as a soap opera) to go away, but to call it "silly" just because you
can't understand it, or it clashes with your belief system, or whatever, is
a pretty arrogant thing to do.(I could sit here all day and bash
economists if I wanted to, too, but that would be outside the purpose of
this newsgroup.)

Twin Peaks is currently ahead of The Waltons, but is behind The Wonder Years,
though it is 6th on its channel (BBC2).

I know it's bad practice to follow up on my own
article, but for technicalities' sake, this is the
4TH update and the fifth version of this list.

A friend without net access told me he'd seen the musician Van Dyke
Parks listed as an actor in the credits of one TP episode, but he
didn't spot him. What part did he play?

I read Mr. Cappel's plans with enthusiasm, and tried to write an
E-Mail letter to him, but my link doesn't recognise his addess, I
would appreciate some E-Mail from you Mr. Cappel on the subject.

Also, I don't believe Buffalo has a chapter of COOP. I know of
several friends who would be enthusiatic about joining one, myself
as well, of course. Is there a northeast branch we in Buffalo could
tag on to?

Where can I get a synopsis of what's happened on TP since around
November?  I haven't been able to watch it since then.

In a few months, the Twin Peaks Access Guide will be published. It will
almost certainly contain a map of the TP area.

I don't get alt.tv.twin-peaks so I'll have to ask here.  What is the
story concerning the show?  Cancelled?  Hiatus?  What's going on?

Agreed.  If I were reading ABC's mail, I'd stick all the COOP letterhead
mail in a pile off by itself, and figure that some wacko club had gotten
together and held a letter-writing party.  That's not as likely to
indicate a real desire to write letters as the same number of independent
letters.  They can (fairly) safely assume that they're hearing from most
everyone in COOP, but they'll get really nervous if letters from Joe
average viewer start pouring in spontaneously -- how many others are
there who aren't bothering to write?

I can't believe you switched Twin Peaks off just before the best
part of that whole episode! I assume you're the only one, so I'll direct
my question to those who stayed tuned: can you BELIEVE it? They really
had me thinking that Leland had killed Laura, but now to find out it was
Gordon- I don't know. It's a bit much. I did like the scene in which they
explained that the creamed corned kid was the illigetimate son of the
drooling old bellhop in the great northern, and that BOB was the
disposessed spirit of the alien ship that had been sending messages to
its home planet, using the log lady's (now burnt) log as an antenna, and
at the same time sapping all of James' and Donna's emotions to power the
transmitter. All along I thought they were just bad actors, and now it turns out that was part of the plot.
I was pretty pissed that they offed audrey, though-- especially
just before the engagement ring was delivered to her door. I knew Coop
liked her, but to find out that he was so serious, and then to have him
wake up with her head in the bed-- wow! Talk about powerful. 
Still, now that Wyndam Earl has entered a monastery, I don't
really know what the show is going to do for the rest of the season.

I think the map that was being referenced to in
Newsweek was not of the fictional locations of the
Roadhouse, the Sheriff's Station, Great Northern
Hotel, and One-Eyed Jacks, but was instead a map of
all the characters plus their connections to one
another.

Hi,
There are plenty of us here who want to keep Twin Peaks on.
So what's involved with starting up a COOP group?  How about t-shirts?
Help?

One more call for your top three Twin Peaks episodes.
So far a number of people have responded, and I hope to post
results next week.
Please list the three episodes and the points you allocate
to them.  Remember you are allowed 10 points, which you may divide
up as you please.  Don't worry if you don't remember the episode number.
If you say "the one where Coop gets shot," or "The one with Coop's
dream with the midget," that's fine.    

Example:

1000Pilot4 pts
2007BOB's ID revealed 4 pts
1002  Coop's dream2 pts


Send in those ballots!  So far, the leading episode
is from the first season, but I won't say more about it till later.
