Subject: Annie is dead From: pnorman@morgan.ucs.mun.ca (Peter T. Norman) Date: 1992-09-17, 19:34 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks In the last scene of the final episode, Cooper asks how Annie is. I paid particularly close attention this time; Coop turns to Harry when he asks the question; Harry says she is fine, she is in hospital. Harry looks hesitantly at Doc Hayward, who in turn lowers his eyes and bends his head down-covering his expression from Cooper. The reactions of both Harry and the Doc point toward anything but good news concerning Annie. And remember Harry made several attempts to stir Annie in the Grove of Sycamore trees - one attempt brought Cooper around; Annie didn't respond at all. It really looks to me as if Annie is dead. I use this isolated fact to ground my understand of many of the subsequent events in the Movie and many of the implications of the series. Does anyone have any reason to strongly disagree with my claim (and reasoning as to why she might be dead)? Peter
