Subject: the 4-18 episode!! From: UN040377@WVNVAXA.WVNET.EDU Date: 1991-04-19, 09:28 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Well, it's all coming together. The TP people had 2 possible ways to explain the Twin Peaks mystery: 1) science fiction, and 2) mysticism. Looks like they're going with a combination of the two. I would have preferred one or the other, but I guess using a mixture of both isn't so bad. Especially when the episodes are as intense as this one. Comments: * John Justice Wheeler's leaving. Good riddance. I think the thing about his friend/partner being murdered is probably just to set up some new plotlines in case TP gets renewed (fat chance). * Wonder what the deal is with people's right hands shaking uncontrollably? We saw this happen to Cooper, Pete, and an up-till-now unfamiliar older woman, all during the same time period (all during this episode, that is.) My first thought was that this was some signal to certain "chosen" people that something big is about to happen. But if so, then why these 3 people? Cooper would naturally be one, but Pete? It seems like the Major or the Log Lady would have been more appropriate than Pete and the other woman. * Mayor Milford told Lana that the Miss Twin Peaks judges will be Norma and Dick. However, I thought it had already been established that they were Pete, Dr. Hayward, and the Mayor. Or was that just some kind of selection committee? * Poor, poor Leo. I couldn't help but laugh at him zapping himself. * Did anyone else notice: Right after the scene where Ben and Audrey are talking about Wheeler, Audrey leaves, then Ben is apparently startled by something behind him, and he turns around quickly. They didn't show any more Ben scenes after that, so we can only speculate about what it was that scared him. * About the drug that Earle gave to Major Briggs: does a drug actually exist that makes one tell the truth? Could be a possible connection with Haliperidol. * The puzzle box was kind of disappointing. I had hoped that it, or the symbols on it, would tie in to the whole Lodge/Petroglyph story. Guess not. Or maybe it will in some unexpected way. What was the metallic object inside of it? And how do you specify any given date merely by pressing two buttons, like Andrew did? * The Mayor sure has trouble with microphones, eh? That's the second time. * The Giant seems to have lost his mysteriousness and subtlety. In the past, he's always been vague or riddle- like in his warnings. This time, however, his message was much more obvious. If the Giant is a "good" entity trying to help Coop, why couldn't he have been this obvious before? When Maddy was dying, I'm sure it would have helped Coop get to her faster if the Giant had just said so instead of just, "It is happening again." * In the very chaotic Earle/Briggs/computer scene, Earle said: "Dale wasn't far away; the cave painting is an invitation of sorts, telling us when the _______ begin." What's the missing word? It sounded like "rebels" but that wouldn't make sense. This is obviously an important word; I want to know *what's* about to begin. * Right before BOB appears at the end, there's a sequence of shots of various rooms and buildings. Here they are, in order: Outside the Road House, the traffic light, outside the diner, inside TP High School, a hall of the Great Northern, the hospital (or the police station; anyone sure?), the chalkboard with the petroglyph drawing, wind through trees, and then the clearing in the woods where BOB appears. There must be some signifigance to this series of locations. Unless it was just for some kind of dramatic effect. * Now, when the TP Access Guide gets published, everyone will buy it to check out the map of Twin Peaks and compare it to the petroglyph to find out where the Black Lodge entrance is, like WE was doing on his computer. My guess is the Pearl Lakes. Wonder if the petroglyph also contains a guide to the White lodge? * Damn it, we've come this far, we're about to discover the connection between BOB and the Lodges/parallel universe/whatever, and we STILL don't know for sure what the owls are! Well, we've got a long time 'til June 10.... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kenneth Bays | "Everyone looks naked when you know the un040377@wvnvms.wvnet.edu | world's address." - They Might Be Giants - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
