Subject: more finale stuff (spoilers) From: sho@gibbs.physics.purdue.edu (Sho Kuwamoto) Date: 1991-06-11, 12:14 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Spoilers from final episode... I loved it to death, but there *were* some scenes which were pretty weak.... 1) The whole log lady/oil scene. "This is oil. It leads to other worlds. My husband got it for me because it -- when combined with our vinegar which lets us pass through time -- makes a nice salad dressing. By the way, it smells like burnt engine grease from season one." AGGGH! Ronette's acting in that scene was none too grand. R: " " Coop: "yup. she's afraid." 2) Donna in Ben's scene with the Haywards. "You're my daddy! You're my daddy!" ARRRGGH! 3) There were some things which were resolved in this last episode which were so obvious that I'm left wondering what the point was. First, we have Donna finding out that Ben's her father. When she confronted Ben backstage at the Miss tp contest, I half-expected the entire miss tp follies to come onstage and say, "Dammit, Donna, he's your father and we've all known for eighteen episodes." I also have the feeling that "Did Windom Earle really kill Caroline" was supposed to have been a mystery of sorts. This is the first time we hear WE say he killed her, Caroline tells Dale that WE killed her, but I don't see what this is all supposed to do for us. Does this mean that Dale is now at peace with Caroline's death? Hardly. Knowing who the killer is is far a far different thing. And we know that Dale has suspected WE of having killed her since way back when. It's as if Caroline tells Dale, "yup. you were right. WE killed me. but you knew that already." -Sho -- sho@physics.purdue.edu
