Subject: RS - more theories From: alternat@watserv1.waterloo.edu (Ann Hodgins) Date: 1991-04-22, 09:51 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Throwing some more ideas into the stew: Hand shaking - like Harold Smith when he went outside in the sun - like Cooper when the sun light touched his hand Is it the beginning of a group hysteria? In medieval times whole villages would go mad together, showing the same symptoms. Is there a chemical in the water supply? Or is it just Bob trying to get enough human energy into himself to manifest physically? Or both. The black and white circle in the clearing - looks to me like a burnt out fire, blackened area, white ash, puddle or spring in the middle, fire turned to water now. This is a faerie tale element, a pool in which events from other parts of the world are reflected, a magic mirror. The curtain is the delineation between spirit and flesh worlds. When the curtain parts, Bob can see events in the real/flesh world. Soon he will be a part of that world. The pool is black, white and red - colours of the godess if I remember right Blue and silver are the colours of the Miss Twin Peaks contest - ethereal, heavenly colours. It is like a portal with two dogs guarding it - like egyptian symbols, I forget what they mean - very other worldly. Casablanca symbolism - idealist leaves love behind - flys off on plane but this time idealism and sex are not mutually exclusive. Cooper is ignoring omens that even the most earthbound mind can see have "evil portend" written on them in big letters. Instant Karma - Leo is learning that if you hurt others you only hurt yourself The drawing on the lower left of the owl cave map appears to be an egyptian scarab beetle. The markings on the big figure in the drawing look a bit like egyptian pharoah fashions. Windom is a new man, confident, gleeful and energetic, not at all the hesitant, rather pompous and earnest character on the videotape. Goodness is finding an uneasy perch in Ben's soul. He is the mirror image of all those people evil Bob to tried to possess. Goodness is an alien thing that Ben is welcoming into his heart. Perhaps the consequence of changing horses in mid stream will be as disastrous to Ben as welcoming evil is to naturally good people. lipstick - all that goo on Annie's mouth reminds me of the onguent that Jones smeared on Truman's lips (to make herself desirable?) as a form of magic to cast a love spell. This image is predisposing me to suspect Annie of being an agent of the black lodge. She looks like an angel but she's a devil in disguise! But maybe that's just me. I prefer the openly hostile characters, the surly ones because I never suspect them of being worse than they seem. New Saturn/Jupiter theory: Saturn is a symbol of contraction, Jupiter of expansion Yin and Yang mean the same thing - expansion and contraction When yin and yang come together "the book of love will open up and let them in" -------------------------------------------------------------------- Ann Hodgins E Uassiuian is the urge to continue alternat@watdcs To laugh, to have fun and to be .uwaterloo.ca amazed.
