Subject: Re: Lynch's final message From: SAUDA@MAINE.MAINE.EDU Date: 1991-06-12, 09:52 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks I have always felt TP was intended by Lynch/Frost to be a joke on the viewers. Especially in the way it made fun of standard television trademarks (quotes fr om other movies/shows, weak plot lines, and emphasis on the strangeness of situ ations). My inclination that TP was always intended as a joke to the viewer st ems from an article I read before the series was first aired (might have been R olling Stone). I think Lynch even said that the story lines were written in re lation to the commericials being shown. An example would be the Dunkin Donuts ad that ran after the Laura-upside-down coffee cup credits. Of course Dunkin D onuts was advertising for their super large size cup of coffee. Coincidence? I found it strangely humorous. Viva El Lynch!
