Has anyone noticed that Jacques account of what happened at his cabin on 
the night Laura died was different in the movie than on TV? According to 
Jacques (in the last episode of the first season), he and Leo had a 
fight, Leo hit him with a whiskey bottle and Jacques used Leo's shirt to 
stop the bleeding (during which Leo was laughing.) After the fight 
Jacques went outside and passed out. When he wope up, Leo and the girls 
were gone. When Coop and the boys trek up to the cabin they find a spot 
of blood on the floor. The bloody shirt with Jacques blood shows up more 
than a few times in the first season and was a potential piece of 
evidence that might have implicated Leo in Laura's death.
   However, in FWWM Jacques wanders outside and is beat up and hit over 
the head with the bottle by Leland. Leo comes out of the cabin and seeing 
Jacques bloody face runs back into the cabin grabs his boots (and perhaps 
something else--I can't remember) and makes a beeline for his car. At no 
point that I can see does any shirt of Leo's get used to wipe up Jacques 
blood.
   I can understand Jacques blaming Leo for the bottle and the fight 
because he wasn't aware that anyone else was around the cabin. But this 
still doesn't explain the lack of a bloody shirt. Looks like a rather big 
continuity error to me.
   Also, I think that Agent Desmond's disappearance (when he went to pick 
up the ring) could be the same thing that happend to Agent Jeffries 
(David Bowie). Could this mean that there are 3 FBI agents trapped in the 
Black Lodge? And yes, the symbol on the ring is the same as one found in 
the drawing at Owl Cave. The symbol is slightly up and to the left of the 
center of the drawing and is encased in a flame (page 65, Twin Peaks 
Acces Guide)
