I don't watch TV other than "Twin Peaks" and "thirtysomething" (which
means, by the way, that I probably won't watch any TV at all after June)
so I really don't know about "L.A. Law."  However, I doubt the serial
nature of the show is as strong there as it is in "Twin Peaks". 
Remember, for most of its shows "Twin Peaks" has been a murder mystery,
with clues and red herrings being dropped throughout every show.  Quite
a bit of the fun of the show was following these clues.  Plus, new
characters and important plot developments were introduced in every
show.  And each show followed the last by one day. So I think that
missing a show, or seeing it out of sequence, affects "Twin Peaks" more
than any other show.

Three weeks and counting.

I rented Wild at Heart this weekend to help.  It did help a lot.  Guess
we'll start going through the old shows now.

Guess we'll all talk in three weeks.

Well...  Cooper mentioned to Diane that he had received the ear-plugs 
that she had sent.  I know this isn't proof that she exists, but I don't
think Coop's _that_ strange.

Okay now,  where have I gone wrong?  I thought that the actress that
played Laura and Maddy also played in the short-lived series
'Fast Times at Ridgemont High'.   I can't seem to find that title (or
anything close to it) in the posted actor's list.  So could someone
please answer the following questions?

Who played Laura Palmer?  
Did she also play in 'Fast Times at Ridgemont High'?
If so: Why isn't it in the actor's list?

Kevin

I thought Diane was the name of the tape recorder.

There is a pretty complete FTP archive site for Twin Peaks stuff down near
you --

 The FTP archive: audrey.sait.edu.au [130.220.16.88]
 directory:       /pub/twin-peaks

Edwin Nomura posts ascii versions of plot synopses; he has now posted up to
date with the last episode shown in USA, #2020. I maintain a version of the
complete synopsis in Microsoft Word format for the Macintosh. The latest ver-
sion of this synopsis is in the archive as file TP-timeline.sit.Hqx (95 KB,
35 pp.). It's complete through episode #2018 -- that is, I'm two episodes 
back.

One of these days real soon now I'll catch the summary up to date and post
it to audrey.sait.edu.au in two versions: BinHex'd Stuffit archive for the
Mac, as presently, and RTF for interchange with the DOS/Windows version of
Word.

I hadn't noticed those errors.  I did notice, on page 10, that the text
refers to County Road J, but I can only find Highway J in the maps.  
Should I assume they're the same road?  For the most part however, IMHO,
the authors have tied together a significant amount of information into
a surprisingly detailed, and funny, 'guide'.

Off hand I didn't think the runes on the map matched the ones on 
Catherine's box.  Please check the your tape though, I'm not positive.
There are ten runes in the map, including the one inside the flames 
(which matches the symbol found at Owl Cave).  Could nine of these 
runes indicate the planets, and the one in flames the sun?  (I know 
that one rune looks like the symbol for Jupiter, but the others don't 
look familiar.)  Or, the big circle on the right indicates the sun 
and the rune in the flames indicates the Black Lodge.  This would 
point to the Great Northern or White Tail Falls.

BTW, where is the Miss Twin Peaks contest being held?  At the Roadhouse
or the GN?  I'm expecting some sort of confrontation between Cooper and
Earle at the contest.  Maybe the entrance to the Black Lodge will be 
the same place as the contest.  ("There's something wrong here.")

Another ideas:  The '|------.' symbols on the map point to something.  
Lines extended from these 'pointers' bisect four of the ten rones and
form a triangle.  Or, the positions of the 'planets' on the map define 
a date or time that the Gate opens.  Can anyone identify the other rones?

I lost track of Twin Peaks (and got over my addiction to this board :-<)
after the Major disappeared.  The last episode I saw was when the Major
reappeared in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm.  Is there
anywhere I can get ahold of a synopsis of the show since then?  Actually,
come to think of it, I have seen a couple of episodes on and off since then,
but not as part of a sequence.

Also, when is the last episode being broadcast?

Email is better than posting, but either would be absolutely great.  Also,
please include instructions on how to access an FTP site from a VAX/DEC
machine if you direct me towards one.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello Tweakers!
---------------

A while ago I posted the original schedule of episodes to be shown
here in Sweden. If unchanged, the last episode would have been shown
on June 3rd, but now the inevitable has happend: yesterday 2020 was
run, and afterwards the message was that 2021 is going to be on
June 17th. I had anticipated this, it wouldn't have been very likely
that it would be released here before you americans had seen it. 
What about you danes and norweigans? I suppose you will have the same
hiatus!? 
I come from the southernmost province(Skaane) of Sweden, and we are
able to recieve danish television. The show is broadcasted there on
Thursdays, so 2021 would be shown the day after tomorrow, May 23rd,
if no break in the schedule has occured.
Too much to wish for...

The same happened here in Norway also :-(
2021 will be shown on June 14th, and 2022 on June 21st. What is perhaps 
most interesting, is that the two-hour finale in the US will be split into 
"ordinary" episodes over here...

The good thing about this hiatus of course, is that it at least indicates 
that the final episodes will be "tailor-made" to wrap up some of the loose 
ends.

Hi there

Well, tonight was the big night here down under... we now know wh killed
Laura Palmer.

Was I surprised??  No.  Why not??  Two reasons:

a) I guessed it.

andb) the asshole who emailed me (uninvited) "so-and-so did it".

Hi there

You may (have) read my other post to this net, but I will tell you that
the episode shown tonight here in Australia revealed the killer of
Laura Palmer...

Just one thing that bugs me about TP, and over the last two weeks has
started to turn me off TP:  the plot seems to rely more and more on
supernatural events (the giant, the midget, the horse, the dreams, the
messages from space) to provide clues to the murderer... 

Admittedly the Tajimoto (sp) revelation was a relief...

Supernatural events are not used just to give clues for the murder, but to
keep the plot going along.

For example: (* SPOILER ALERT*)

I think that TWO schitzophrenics (The One-armed-man and Leyland Palmer)
is a bit hard to swallow, and I find it hard to beleive that an FBI agent
would base his investigations on dreams after being shot or the testimony
of a recluse who talks to logs.

Don't get me wrong, I think that TP is brilliantly executed, but it seems
to be falling into the trap of introducing too many supernatural or strange
events just to keep the plot alive, or to get the writers out of a tricky
situation.

Just seems a major shift from previous episodes: we have FBI forensic
experts doing cocaine analysis, and then we go talk to a log. :-)

Issues that I hope to see explored in future TP epsodes:

1)  Why does the killer put letters under the fingernails??? Sureley
    they would have explored that concept more than they did...
    How/why did the killer put them under the fingernails of the
    victim(s) that brought Cooper to Twin Peaks?

2)  What is the chess game about?

3)  What is on the tape in Leo's boot?

4)  What is the signifigance of the horse that Laura's mother saw?

5)  Why doesn't Cooper feel guilty about the man killed during his
    (illegal) raid on One-Eyed-Jack's?

6)  Why aren't the press swamping the town which is the latest site
    of a serial killer's work?

7)  Who shot Cooper?  I expected this to be solved before the killer's
    identity was revealed.

8)  Who shot the bird???  Why??

9)  What was in Laura's secret diary?

10) WHY DID LEYLAND KILL LAURA??????

11) Why is Audrey Horne so disgusted with her father sleeping
    with LP, when she lept into Cooper's bed at the first opportunity?


I was disappointed with the episode where we learnt the identity of LP's
killer, but a relief was the Tajimoto revelation.  In the matter of the
killer, I feel that the writers said "Ok, who would be most unlikely to
be suspected of the murder? (by characters in the story)", not "who would
make the most interesting (but still beleiveable) killer"... and then
saying "well, we'll just make him a schitzo, and that will explain things."

One final point: from the look of the promos of next week's episode, Cooper
and Co. don't realise who the killer is.  I hope that they continue this for
a few more episodes, to build the suspense:  knowing that he could go nuts
at any time and try to kill/cuddle someone at any time.

Anyway!  That's my $0.02 worth...

Love it or hate it, YOU have read it!

Also, the owl watching the camping/outdoors in the woods scene just
before the satellite (from space) took away one of the characters.

Could someone post the film credits for the owl--looked just like our TP
owl? :-)

As has already been posted, Laura was played by Sheryl Lee. It is
my understanding that she was discovered at a audition in Seattle
by Lynch and Frost, and that the only thing she did up there before
TP was local theatre and a little modeling. Given this, and the fact
that she's only 21 (maybe 22 by now), it's unlikely that she was
in FTaRH.

I can't find any references to the TV series FTaRH in any of my
sources. What year was it on?

Yes.  You can anon ftp a shar file containing the source to such
a program (credit to Jonathan Bowen (Programming Research Group,

128.36.0.36) as pub/SparcSounds/sound.shar

The program when compiled will produce the older (SunOS 4.0.3)
format sound files but you can still play them.  You can also
load them into soundtool which will convert them to the new
4.1.1 format (it adds the appropriate header info to the sound
file).

There are a few Sun format sound files in the Twin_Peaks 
subdirectory of the above subdirectory.

This is the second time today that one of my pet peeves has been violated,
and what really ticks me off is that the same pet peeve was violated in
each case!!

Schizophrenia (note the spelling) and Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD)
are **NOT**, I repeat, **NOT**, the same thing!!!!!!!!!  In fact, they are
virtually unrelated psychopathologies!

Basic symptoms of schizophrenia include (but are not limited to) delusions,
hallucinations, movement disorders (e.g. lots of motion, no motion),
motivational deficits, autism, lack of social skills, etc.

MPD is when a person has two or more different personalities that talk,
write, think, etc, differently.  They may, or  may not, be aware of the
other personalities (usually not).

Sorry to flame on, but this is one of the few things I expect my Intro. to
Psychology students to remember at the end of the semester.  I absolutely
hate it when people mis-refer to these disorders!!  If you want to read
a good book on MPD, read "Sybil" (the author's name escapes me)--or see
the movie of the same name starring Sally Field.  This person/character
has MPD, and is **NOT** schizophrenic!

You know, I was just browsing a newspaper the other day, and a tiny little
blurb about Twin Peaks mentioned the possiblity that Leland Palmer, the
infamous Laura Palmer daddy/murderer, might not have been actually possessed
by a demon named Bob, but was just manifesting this apparition to explain
his cruel treatment of his daughter. The paper suggested that Bob was a man
who may have molested Leland as a child.

Now, dammit, why couldn't Lynch/Frost expand on this? I mean, the whole
thing with phantoms and aliens and the like is an interesting story -- much
more so than those sad little trifles involving One Eyed Jacks or that
"possibly possessed" little boy, Nicky (whatever happened to THAT sub-plot?)
-- but if they had implemented a little Freudian psychology, you would have
had something REALLY interesting. But since they have spent so much time
on developing the whole alien thing, I guess it's too much to hope for that
Leland was living in a terrifying state of paranoia, guilt, and denial.
Oh well. Maybe if Ingmar Bergman had had a hand in it...

                       -Uzer

Without ruining completely the remainder of the series for those who have
only just learned WKLP, I'll simply say whether or not we have learned the
answers to your questions so far through episode #2020. If you really want
the detailed spoilers, send me mail.

* SPOILERS AHEAD *

The answer to this is revealed.

The meaning is revealed; I don't think you're going to like the way this
extended metaphor is handled however...

 > 3)  What is on the tape in Leo's boot?

Revealed.

Not revealed so far. This forum has entertained lots of speculation on
this one; I think we have a concensus.

Now that's a good question. It doesn't come up. You will be hearing more
about the illegality of the raid though...

 > 6)  Why aren't the press swamping the town which is the latest site
 >     of a serial killer's work?

Good question. It's part of a larger question that has been debated at
length here, viz: where's the outrage, the horror, the concerted law-
enforcement counterattack against the forces of evil that progressively
engulf this cozy town?

Why haven't they called out the Army? (Oddly enoough, there is material 
yet to come that bears on this question...)

 > 7)  Who shot Cooper?  I expected this to be solved before the killer's

Revealed. The "why" of it remains murky however.

 > 8)  Who shot the bird???  Why??

Revealed. In fact, it was pretty clear from that episode. Got a VCR?

 > 9)  What was in Laura's secret diary?

This is not revealed in full in the remaining episodes -- though some more
facts come out -- but a book has been published called, of all things, "The
Secret Diary of Laura Palmer." Author is Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David.
Concensus in this group is that this book can be taken all in all as an
"official" background document -- that is, it's part and parcel of the same
creative mythos.

 > 10) WHY DID LEYLAND KILL LAURA??????

We have only speculation.

Doesn't really come up. My speculation: So maybe she's not all that mature
yet. She can't distance herself from her father enough to view him as an
independent adult.

Well, It aired wednesday nights on CBS 
from March of 1986 to April of 1986 

(when I say short-lived I _mean_ short-lived)

I must admit though, I was wrong about the title.  It was just called
'Fast Times'.  But it was based on the movie FT@RH.

Most likely, from what you said, I'm also wrong about Sheryl being 
in it.  But one of the main female characters looks just like her.
Just to put my mind at ease, could you check anyway?

Thanks for your time,
Kevin

p.s. I guess this should have been a letter instead of a posting.
sorry all.

      Well, these were probably on that huge list, but the guy who plays
Major Briggs was in Omen IV last night (oh so good that one was!), and that
guy (names escape me) who plays the FBI-autopsyist with the smart mouth was
in Deep-Star Six, a bad underwater horror film.  He played the obligatory
idiot who goes nuts.   Whoops!  A Deep-Star Six spoiler there, sorry!
      Did you guys know that Dennis Hopper is a republican now?  He voted for

Thanks for the answer,thankfully most people got the answer to me before
the show so that made my friend happy.
I have never seen the show at all but by the context of the answers it

It is fairly obvious that this is not the case.  We, the
audience, know that Ronnette saw BOB's body, i.e. via the Giant (one can
see him).  Mrs. Palmer and Cooper had visions of the same face of BOB at
different times.  We also know Maddy saw BOB's spirit and we know of
BOB through the independent source of Mike.  
        More evidence exists, too lengthy
to spend time identifying here. Unless there is some reason
that Twin Peaks residents, FBI agents, and visiting cousins of Twin
Peaks residents all use this BOB-image to visualize evil, one would have
to assume that BOB is real.

> >"possibly possessed" little boy, Nicky (whatever happened to THAT sub-plot?)
  This ended when we learned of Nicky's past through Dr.
Hayward.  These little subplots that you mention were attempts at 
bringing in stories that could be "quickly" wrapped up in the new
season.  Apparently, L/F thought that short attention span viewers would
appreciate this sort of thing.

Do you really think so?  Freudian psychology is pretty cliche
and BORING, IMHO.

Read my fingers, there is _no_ "alien thing."  Stick a radio

heck?

Hi there

Please accept my apologies... I was aware of the difference between the two,
but I just forgot.  (Hey, it was 2am!)

"Egg: put it on your face!"

Murray Chapman
muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au

By now you have heard that ABC announced its new season today and "Twin Peaks"
was not renewed.  No surprise.  Here is the postmortem article that appeared in
the New York Times a few weeks ago.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, while at the University book store, browsing through
magazines I came across US Magazine with its Best/Worst
Poll, so out of curiosity I wanted to see how our favorite
show fared, well it was one of the top 3 worst:

1. Rosanne
2. Simpsons
3. TP

Now, I am pretty sure that the only reasons for this was:
1) People heard how poorly it was doing in the ratings,
but never saw the show, and thought it must be bad; if it
ain't in the top of the Neilson's it mustn't be any good.
2) Those who watched it once and thought it was too weird,
or were turned off by the violence, ie. the episode when
Maddie bought the farm. After all its okay for characters
to get killed, even women, but as long as the viewers are
kept distant from it, and don't have to think about, and
feel good then it's okay.
3) Then of course you have to think a little while watching
it, and that is too much to ask from some people; and hell
there weren't any car chances....

I can't remember all top 3: Cheers & Knots Landing were 2
of them, can't remember the 3rd, or the order.

Sally--Little over 2 weeks, and I won't even be around
to appreciate, unless: is there going to be any TP parties
around Orlando???

Um... not so fast, mate. Last week in Melbourne, TP was outrated by In The
Heat Of The Night and a local soapie. I'm told TP is doing better in the rest
of the nation.

> >Do you find out who killed the girlie?  Depends.  Yes, the human 
> >responsible for performing the deed is revealed.  

Yeah? Well I still reckon Ben Horne did it. You've only got Bob's word for it 
that Leland was used.

I hate to say this, but after so much fuss on the Death of Maddie episode, the
actual... er, kill was sorta tame. Leland hugging the bleeding Maddie was much
sicker than smashing her face against a picture (NOT Laura's picture!) The 
traincar episode, too, was much scarier. I suspect the only reason anyone
took that much exception to Maddie's death was that it was on during the much-
advertised WKLP episode, when many more people were watching than in 2001.

Is the drastic fall in TP quality you all keep whingeing about after the WKLP
episode? With a couple of grey patches (most boringly 1005), TP has been con-
sistently excellent, methinks.

Donna was crying for Harold at the Roadhouse while Maddie was being dispatched,
eh? (Note: Interesting how Lynch allows our attention to wander while the deed 
is done, picking up at other subplots. I guess his overriding interest was never
WKLP, which is of course fair.) Good. Serves her right, the shmuck. James is a
toad, whereas Harold was so dreamy - even while carving up his cheeks with a
gardening tool %^)

I'm sorry to sound so silly; on the other hand, I think it only fair that, at
this stage, this newsgroup go for a bit of Memory Lane - it'll help us non-
NorthAmericans.

Shouldn't someone conduct a poll of which episode was the worst, rather than
the best? How about I do it? OK: Send the episode number of the episode you
liked the least (see your local TP timeline) to nsn@mullian.ee.mu.oz.au

Really?  I had heard so much about people being disappointed that I didn't
expect anything wonderful and, therefore, was pleasantly surprised.

Then again, I just find Mr. Lynch's point of view intriguing enough.

It is my suspicion (hope) that this is the real answer and all of this 
other stuff is just leading us on a very wild, interesting goose chase.

We have no clue as to what will really happen on June 10th, but I think
that we will all be pleasantly surprised.  (at least we better be, being
that they kept us waiting so damn long)

Most children are very uncomfortable about their parents sexuality. Plus,
parental sex with a schoolmate is a little too close to the Oedipal for
comfort, I think.

I didn't see the switch from Maddie to Donna as a discontinuity but as a
weaving together of the two events. I think it is interesting that Donna
suddenly felt so sad just at that moment. After all there are plenty
of other times when she might have felt sorry for Harold, why then?
I see a kind of inter-connectedness between Maddie and Donna at an
unconscious level. I believe that we don't always know the real reasons
for the emotions we suddenly feel. Of course, if you don't believe in ESP
then this theory won't appeal to you.
 
a.h.

I remember feeling very cheated when I found out it was BOB and not Leland.
That seemed to give Leland an excuse, and there are too many people out there
getting away with abuse of children already.  But, then, after seeing what they
Did with the whole BOB thing, it's made it more interesting.  This killer that
you know "exists" and yet you can't really find him.

And another reason for their being so close at an unconscious level is a theory
that we have been knocking around....the fact that Maddie, Laura, Donna, and
Audrey are all in fact sisters....with a common father - Ben. I know it's
pretty nutty, but it certainly would explain a lot of things, not the least
of which is why Laura and Maddie look alike...perhaps they have the same
mother too? Maybe Sarah gave Maddie up at birth? Hmmmm.

Well, as other posters have pointed out Sheryl Lee was not in the TV
show 'FAST Times' (CBS, Wed 8:00-8:30pm, 3/5/86-4/23/86).

I just hope that the June 10 episode doesn't turn into a scrambling effort to
tie up loose ends and force a solution.  IMO, this is what happened in the
episode in which Leland dies.  There were very few redeeming moments in that
episode, even though the pace was quick.

I vote for Leland as "Miss Twin Peaks."  It's un-PC to exclude men from the
contest, just because they're male  :->

Sorry but the "male" qualification is not the question in Leland's case.
He is known to TP residents as a MURDERER!  I can see no way for 
Leland to be honored in any way by Twin Peaks.

I liked the fact that BOB was the killer. I think it allowed Leland to leave
the show with his dignity and his credibility intact. Ray Wise is a brilliant
actor, and if he is not nominated for and wins best actor, I KNOW That the
Emmys are rigged.

I am trying to get ahold of a list of emmy voters, to campaign for this.
Does anyone out there know where I can get a list of this type? I will
also need to know when the descisions are made regarding the emmys.
Any help out there?

Gee Daniel I could not _possibly_ disagree with you more! :) I thought
this particular episode was perhaps the best TV I have ever viewed.
The part when Cooper was holding a dieing Leland talking him into the next
world as the fire sprinklers were going off (washing away Leland's
sins?) still stuns me every time I see it!  :-D

Visualize Tibet...returned to the control of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetans!  

Hold that thought for a moment...and then bring that same purpose of vision
to bringing about a way to keep Twin Peaks alive as long as Lynch, Frost,
Peyton, Engels, Frost and almost certainly MacLachlan are interested in
continuing to produce it, without needing to pander to the lowest common
denominator mentality of any of the American television networks - or even
the average skittish advertiser or moralistic boycott organizer.

Subscription video television.  The problem with Twin Peaks on network
TV is that the majority of people flat out *don't begin to get it*.  You
can resent them for their lack of perception - but, who knows - perhaps
they would accuse you of a lack of perception for not appreciating the
subtleties of, say, Vanilla Ice.  But I digress...

There probably aren't going to be 20 or 30 million people ready to get
involved with Peaks.  But there might well be 100,000 or so people who
enjoy and admire the show enough that they'd pay, say, $10 or $12
apiece, via subscription, for high-quality video cassettes, each 
containing a new Twin Peaks episode, sent to their home 15 to 20 times a 
year.  Add to that the inevitable 50,000 or so video stores who'd buy
at least one copy per episode to rent out, and you've immediately raised
the $1,500,000 each episode supposedly costs.  Instant break-even, and
then profit comes in from sales of broadcast rights in Europe and
elsewhere - countries in which sufficient numbers *do* watch the show
to satisfy advertisers and network execs.

They could even sell a couple brief commercial spots if they wanted to,
since Lynch has expressed an admiration for the constraints placed by
commercial interruptions on the storytelling.  These could be specially
produced commercials, perhaps for companies and products which do not
advertise on broadcast or cable TV.  This would further lower the
breakeven point or raise the profits.  The advertisers would be accepting
a challenge; to present their message in an intriguing enough way to hold
the interest of Peaks fans.  Perhaps Lynch and some of Twin Peaks' other
better directors would even agree to produce and direct some of these,
in an effort to give the advertiser the best chance of holding the
viewer's attention *even though the ad is on videotape*, and in an effort
to attenuate viewer frustration with having ads on their videotapes.
(A minute or a minute and a half, total, would be enough to provide the
brief pacing breaks required to maintain the structure and I feel wouldn't
be that big a drag to have on these fabulous collectors items.)

Everybody wins.  BOB Iger frees up another hour each week for such
satisfying shows as "America's Funniest People".  The vast majority of
the people who depend on network TV for entertainment get the kind of
shows that vast majorities in America tend to like.  And the tens or
hundreds of thousands of us who had a brand new part of our minds lit
up by "Twin Peaks" continue to get new episodes of the show, secure in
the knowledge that BOB Iger, Donald Wildmon, or the intellectually 
lazy at large no longer have any part in the decision to continue or 
terminate production of this wonderful show.

I don't see a single good reason that this couldn't happen, and I 
hope there is sufficient interest here to get the word somehow to 
those who could actually begin to *make it happen*.

Oh, yeah - and let's not forget that Tibet for the Tibetans
visualization thing, either.

Thoughts?

We (my wife and I) also rented Waild at Heart this weekend,
did any other peaks-freaks rent a Lynch movie this past few
weeks to fill the gap?

It would be interesting to see how many other of you felt the
urge to see a Lynch production, (maybe we are dealing with
powers beyond those of this world [sorry it is very late
and my weirdness meter is pegged.8-} ]).

How many more episodes of TP can we look forward to here in the UK?

We have just had the episode where Coop etc. find the Owl-like symbol
in Owl Cave. Also Coop finds himself romantically involved with Norma's
sister. Presumably there aren't many more episodes left before we hit the
hiatus that you people in the states are experiencing.

Thanks for any info provided.

The
Subject: line says it all.  TV Guide has a listing for Night Tracks
this Saturday (May 25) night listing a 'David Lynch video' and 
"Twin Geeks" as short pieces to be presented.  I don't have the
exact time schedule here, I believe in NYC Night Tracks is carried on
either VHF CH 5 or 11.

That was episode #2018. We in USA have seen two beyond that, to #2020. The
season (and series) finale will be shown here on June 10 as a double bill,
#2021 and #2022. That's all she wrote.

You won't necessarily have a hiatus. Based on recent postings from various
Scandanavian countries, Europe and USA will end up just about even. You've
started later, and we're having an extended hiatus. 

The show has definitely been dropped by the ABC network over here. Unless
Lynch & Frost pull one very big rabbit (owl??) out of a hat, thirty episodes
is all the Twin Peaks this world will ever see.

At the end of the Leland dies episode (number anyone?) Cooper, Maj. Briggs,
Harry, and Albert are all in the woods outside the Sheriff's station.  It
is not clear in their minds exactly what happened.  Despite all the people
who had "seen" Bob (ie the gifted and the damned) Cooper still wonders "If
Bob really exists."  Albert thinks Leland was just a Ted Bundy type. 
Truman is still confused from the rock throwing type investigation.  So I
don't think Lynch and Frost completely ignored the possible ambiguity.

During the FIRST hiatus, I changed video stores because my usual one
didn't carry ERASERHEAD and I really wanted to rent it.  ("Is that,
like, a brand of head-cleaning tape?"  Seriously, that's what she
said!)  I had never seen it before.  I'm afraid that movie OUT-weirded
me...

(For those in countries other than the US or the UK, there may
be some spoilers here.)

The most recent episode broadcast in the UK was missing about 20
seconds that was in the US version.  (I know this because I have both
on tape and was able to compare.)

For those in other countries, it is the episode in which the Sheriff
is attacked by Miss Jones (or whatever her name is), and the 20
seconds are taken out of their struggle.

The BBC was recently taken to task by the Broadcasting Standards
folks for the scene in which Maddy was killed.  It may be that they
are trying to avoid further trouble.

On a somewhat related point, I saw the episode in which Leland dies
in both the US and the UK and I remember something right at the end
in the US version that made it seem Leland might still be alive.
Is this just faulty memory on my part?  If not, can anyone supply
details?

Did anybody catch Dave Letterman earlier this week?  I think it was 
Monday night.  Peter Wolfe was the musical guest.  He talked about his 
college days and how he met David Lynch and they became roommates.  Lynch, 
according to him, was very 50's and straightlaced, and Wolfe was a very 
bohemian musician.  Eventually, Lynch asked him to move out because 
Wolfe was 'too wierd'.   That got a laugh.....

My tip is, read "Laura Palmers Secret Diary" (transl. from the swedish transl. of the title)
by David Lynch's daughter. In this very informative book it's pretty clear why she's so
upset. 'Laura' even mentions this petite triangular-drama at a place in her diary.

Don't panic, dont even get hysterical

/Pro/

PS. Any comments on the relation between TP and Lauras diary are welcome. My mailbox is
open day and night... DS.

       I thought Donna cried at that particular time because the words
of the song Julie Cruise was singing triggered a reaction in here.  Of
course the genuis of Twin Peaks is the multiple possibilties for everything.
I bet both her crying and brilliant lip synching earlier in that episode
were improvised by the director, Lynch, during the rehearsals.  

       Does anybody remember in the two hour episode that opened the second
season, which Lynch also directed, the expressions on Donna's and Maddie's
faces when Leland was doing his shtick at "The Hayward Supper Club"? 
They were laughing not an actresses' laugh, but a real uncontrolable laugh.
I think Lynch and Ray Wise didn't tell anybody specificly what was he
was going to do in his "routine".  

      I also noticed that when Lynch appears as Gordon Cole, the other
actors seem to perk-up a bit.  Often you can tell they are having trouble
holding back the laughter.

      David Lynch seems to have a magnetizim which brings out the creativity
and natural talent with those he works with.

      I felt exactly the same way until Kenneth Welsh (Windom Earle)
did his imitation of the doomsday clock in the last episode: "TICK TOCK,
TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK".   He and Ray Wise will just have to share the
best supporting dramatic actor award. :-)

runs adds prior to the emmy nominations from actors agents expressing
reasons why academy members should recognize said actor.

Hi again.  I'm currently enrolled in Film Studies 155AH over here at
UCSB, and the course deals with the films of Alfred Hitchcock.

Anyways, we have a 9-10 page paper that's due next Thursday, and I,
the usual procrastinator, had no idea until today on what to write it
on.  I've decided to write some sort of comparison between the works of
Alfred Hitchcock and Twin Peaks.  I've some ideas floating around, but
any help that you net-users can provide me would be GREAT!!  Isn't that
what fellow TP net-users are for? >=P

Send E-mail to 6600hien.  Thanks a bunch!!

As I said, there were few redeeming moments; this is one of them.  It was a
very powerful scene, which will remain in my mind for ever. . .
But most of the episode wass out of character from what I have come to expect
from TP.  Usually, the pace is slow and calculated, keeping you at the edge
of your seat, not by virtue of a lightning pace, but through thoughtful
manipulations and a slow-torture approach to suspense.  The writers/directors
would take a few episodes to develop themes fully.  Some of the characters
were also out of character (as it were).  Prime example: Albert lost his
wonderful obnoxiousness (is that a word?) and cynicism, spouting corny lines
like "the only one with the correct coordinates in his hardware is you,
Coop."  Give me a break.
What I disliked most about this particular episode was the fact that it
seemed like the writers were giving in to pressure from the station to humor
the viewers with the 7 second attention span.  "Well we have to find out
WKLP, arrest him, deal with BOB, and spout a few innanities all in time for the
first commercial break."  As I said, out of character from the usual TP fare.

All in all, however, it _was_ far superior to most anything else on the
airwaves.  Leland's scene you mentioned, the coda with the owl flying out of
the light (what wonderful theories abounded on the net about this one), Major
Briggs appearing just in the nick of time with Senor Droolcup; all these made
it worthwhile.  Again, I just hope that the June 10 episode will be one that
we can all be proud of, and will live up to the high standards that we have
come to expect.

Help me....

Last Tuesday down here in Australia, we got the episode where Leland Palmer is turning into (flashing back and forth to) Bob, the killer.
I don't believe that Leland killed Laura, althought he did kill Maddy,  so all you American friends, please oh please can someone tell me what really   happened, so I can be a know it all and impress all my friends (no not really, I am just very confused).
Please could someone help me out with this one, and tell me any other   juicey bits of story that wouldn't spoil it too much.

Thanks in advance from your Australian counterparts...

I heard last night from a friend who works at the local paper that David
Lynch will make an announcement today regarding some discussions he's
been having with CBS about Twin Peaks.  Supposedly they are interested
in the series, providing Lynch tightens up the story lines, and sticks
with a more limited group of directors, both of which changes I think
could improve the show -- providing the directors are Lesli Linka
Glatter, Caleb Deschanel, etc.  Look for it. -- J

The TP Access Guide maps all streets but Lake Boulevard (which is the street
address I was given).  What's up?  Am I not seeing it, or is it just not there?
Anyone else with a Lake Boulevard address notice?

I just called (Friday, May 24, 14:45) CBS's programming department
and asked about a Lynch announcement. I was told, "David Lynch is with ABC".
I pressed the point and asked about Twin Peaks being put on CBS
and was told, "NO".

Sorry.

This will probably help you with your commentaries, fellow net-users:

Here's a list of the Hitchcock films that we've seen so far:
"Spellbound" (1945)
"The Thirty-Nine Steps" (1935)
"Sabotage" (1936)
"Rope" (1948)
"Shadow of a Doubt" (1943)
"Strangers on a Train" (1951)
"Rear Window" (1954)
"Vertigo" (1958)
"North by Northwest" (1959)
"The Wrong Man" (1956)

And a list of the ones we'll see for the rest of the quarter:
"Psycho" (1960)
"Frenzy" (1972)

I don't want to be picky, but could you keep a discussion of
Hitchcock's films to the ones we've seen already?  I don't know how the
professor would react to my mentioning of "Frenzy", for instance.
Thanks!!

This was my finding as well, except I went straight to my contact at
Lynch/Frost (a person in the credits, who shall remain nameless...so it IS
a valid source.). This person said that they would have been the one to
help make such an announcement...although they did tell me that David Lynch is
doing an interview for TV Guide (of all people..they HATE us, I though) next
week, I believe...and David will be holding a press conference I believe
on Tuesday to announce the future of Twin Peaks. More I cannot say...but
things are looking relatively positive.

Hello,
The last time I had a chance to look at this group,
Fiona (and I'm terribly sorry I've forgotten your
last name) had proposed a project for everyone to
write the final episode.  Did this end?

Please it was not lack of interest on my part, my Evil Warlord,
forced me to follow my job description and this is the first
chance I've had to get back to anything truly important.

I would appreciate any news or if this was accomplished.

 Very interesting observations Daniel, even though I rather enjoyed
the 'change of pace' myself I can certainly appreciate how you feel
about it. Somehow the suspense of knowing that LP Killer would soon be
apprehended was in fact intensified for me via the 'lightning pace'.
I found The change of pace gave the program a different spin which
only seemed appropriate for this climatic (sp) episode. I think the
one line I will forever remember was "Gee I guess I 'kinda sorta did,
I have this thing for knives you know!!!" Hahahha! I loved it! I'm
sure going to miss Twin Peaks! :(

   Hi fellow TP fans,
I too saw that episode last week. I have noticed, in reading this group,
that people keep referring to episode numbers. I have never noticed
these numbers either on the program or in local TV guides. If someone
could e-mail the number of that episode, I would be grateful.
(then I can figure out how many more Tuesday nights I spend watching 
Twin Peaks - I haven't missed an episode so far :-)

An Associated Press article titled "'Twin Peaks' town still attracting tourists"
by Roger Nyus appeared in the morning's _Ann Arbor News_ (5/25/91) with the
following concluding paragraph:  "Gaye Pope, a spokeswoman for 'Twin Peaks'
executive director David Lynch, said this week that the show is not dead yet.
Pope said producers have been in contact with another network and that Lynch
plans a 'Twin Peaks' announcement next week."

I was going to write a review of the review showing everything that was
wrong with it (besides the BIG ONE, see below) but I'm in no mood to edit
through 15K of text after reading it.

The BIG ONE, you ask?  Yeah.  Why don't these reviewers trying to tell
people what they're going to like just move to another planet and stop
wasting our oxygen?  I go through this every album with my favorite bands
(Rush and Yes) and now it's gotten to my favorite TV show.

Has anyone seen the "Feed Your Mind" with books spots
on MTV?  The first one, I believe, was with Timothy Hutton.
Well, I saw another one today that I think was shown for
the first time and it features Sherilyn Fenn reading,
appropriately enough a selection by Anais Nun.  Nun is
the woman who was recently the subject of the movie HENRY
AND JUNE.  It definitely takes advantage of Fenn's sex 
symbol status and is quite an interesting piece of writing.
If you have time to sit around and watch MTV, look for the
spot, it's pretty entertaining.

Would have rented Eraserhead if (a) it were at a video rental place
near to me, and (b) all parties involved could stand seeing the movie
again (it makes many people quite uncomfortable)

The access guide has some interesting info on the circle of trees BOB
was standing in:

"Twelve Douglas Firs describe a circle.  They appear strong enough to
support the sky and their collective age stretches back almost to the
Pleistocene.  You want the giants to speak, tell you of the amazing
history running along their grain in which the never ending Quest is
given substance.  You feel close to the beginning.

It is Glastonberry Grove you're standing in, a part of Ghostwood
National Forest and backdrop for Twin Peaks' pentannual Passion Play.
(Every five years or so).

Of uncertain date and origin, the Passion Play continues to evolve and
is a profoundly moving ceremony.  While a precise day and time are never
announced, if you're in town during the month of April and keep your
eyes and ears open you can follow the quiet exodus of the curious and
converted out to Glastonberry Grove shortly after dark to gather around
the twelve Great Firs.  From the shadows, half a dozen cassocked figures
emerge bearing sword, crysanthemum, crucifix and chalice.  There appears
the mysterious garden at the gate.  To this day no one knows where the
guardian comes from or why it appears.  Mystery also surrounds the
sponsors of the event but rumours suggest the ultra-secret Bookhouse
Boys.

Lasting the entire night, dawn brings the ceremony's climax when
sunlight obliterates darkness as Good vanquishes Evil.  Skeptics may
wonder what happens if the day dawns cloudy.  In fact, in the entire
recorded history of the ceremony that has never occurred; dawn of Twin
Peaks' Passion Play has always been announced by sunlight.

The next Passion Play will occur sometime in April, 1992.  No need to
call, just be there."


Also in the guide is the Steeplejack cheer that we could hear some of
when Nadine came out of her coma:

 I'm a jack and you're a jack
 Steeple jacks are we
 And when we get together
 The cry is "Victory"!

Has anyone read this book?  I know that the writing style and narrative are a 
bit awkward, but the storyline is really quite fascinating.  Living here in 
Philadelphia, where according to the book Dale grew up, it's interesting to 
read about some of the more off-the-wall areas of the city.

Also, the bit about his mother's ring tied up its use as a symbol in TP quite 
nicely.

If anyone has saved any posted commentary on the book, I would be REALLY 
apruciative if you would mail it to me.

Yeah, hilarious. Reminded me of Sue Townsend's Adrian Mole diaries. Wonder when
they are going to turn this one into a series :-).

[28may91] Here are three lists: 

  - (L) the names and net addresses of those who maintain and publish to
    alt.tv.twin-peaks various compilations and lists of TP factoids,
#    useful to the truly obsessed, the gifted, and the damned

  - (R) a guide to other TP goodies, available outside this newsgroup, the
    existence of which has been posted here

  - (S) the addresses of ABC, the Twin Peaks production company, and others
#    to whom you can write in a probably vain effort to save (or resurrect)
    TP 

Changes and new listings are marked by #. Please send me any corrections
or additions.

There is an anonymous FTP site for much of the material in list (L), and
some of the material in list (R), thanks to Peter Asenstorfer at the
University of South Australia (peter@audrey.sait.edu.au). The site is:

  audrey.sait.edu.au [130.220.16.88]   directory  /pub/twin-peaks 

Items currently in this archive are marked below by "ftp" in the margin.

# In response to lots of questions, I include below a pocket tutorial on
# how to use anonymous FTP:
# 
# Start up FTP and at its prompt ("ftp>") say "open 130.220.16.88" . If you
# connect successfully you'll be asked for name and password. For name say
# "anonymous" and for password use your net address, e.g. I would type
# "dawson@Atex.Kodak.COM" .
#  
# Now, say "cd /pub/twin-peaks" . FTP has help (for most implementations you
# type "?" or "h"), but the commands you need are these:
#  
#  ls          brief listing
#  ls -l       long listing
#  cd          change directory on the remote machine
#  lcd         change directory on your local machine
#  get <name>  copy a remote file <name> to the current directory on
#               your local disk
#  binary      need to say this for other than text files (FTP responds,
#               mysteriously, "Mode set to I")
#  quit        close connection and exit
#
# That's it, enjoy. The large world of anonymous FTP is now open to you.

Save TP Resources
==================

The following addresses, phone numbers, and other resources will prove useful
to those who want to write letters or otherwise express their opinions on
the hiatus / cancellation of TP, or to attempt to find a new home for the
show.

During the hiatus Lynch and Frost encouraged a letter-writing campaign to
Robert Iger (see S1). Now that the show has been cancelled I don't know what
#the creators intend to do (or want us to do).

See item S7 below, the COOP campaign headquarters, for access to letterhead
and so forth. COOP periodically posts notices of "direct action" of various
sorts, such as campaigns of leverage on particular sponsors.

S1. Address of ABC President in charge of TP --

  From harlan@copper.ucs.indiana.edu (Pete Harlan):
   I just called the number and got someone's answering machine, and it
   wasn't Mr. Chernin's.  I don't have a correct phone number, but this
   one apparently isn't it.
   I did call Fox Broadcasting, and the woman was unable to give me a
   number to call.  She did inform me that Twin Peaks isn't a Fox show. :-)

I've updated in the TP FTP archive the complete episode synopsis format-
ted for MS Word. It is now complete through episode #2020 (April 18, 1991).
Also new is a version usable on the IBM PC (DOS/Windows) version of MS
Word.

 The FTP archive: audrey.sait.edu.au [130.220.16.88]

 directory:       /pub/twin-peaks

 files:           timeline-Word.sit.hqx  (115 KB)   for Macintosh 
                  tlWord.RTF             (182 KB)   for DOS/Windows

These files represent a complete rendition of the Edwin Nomura synopsis of
all TP episodes from the pilot through 04/18/91, formatted for Microsoft 
Word. Both Macintosh and DOS/Windows versions are provided. Included are
Jerry Boyajian's invented titles for each episode (plus a few of my own).
It comes to 38 pages with title page and table of contents.

timeline-Word.sit.hqx -- for Macintosh
Note that this is a binary file, so say "binary" to FTP before retrieving.
Move this file to a Macintosh (replacing newlines with CR's if necessary)
and process it with BinHex 4.0 to produce "TP timeline.sit"; process this
file with Stuffit v1.5.1 to produce "TP timeline".

tlWord.RTF -- for DOS/Windows
Import this file into the DOS/Windows version of MS Word using the RTF 
(rich text format) import filter.

For those without FTP access, send me email and we'll arrange for a paper
copy via 8.5"x11" SASE. Enclose a floppy if you want the MS Word files too.

Seems that not many people on this net have the book.
Could you post an explanation of the "mother's ring" bit?
