Subject: FAQ about the series From: joji@twics.co.jp Date: 1992-09-19, 08:44 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks I have been going through the series for the third time now and I have some trivial questions, perhaps FAQs. Who was with Leo when Bobby and Mike ego to the woods to pick up the football of cocaine? One of the Bernaud(sp) brothers? [early episode] When Bob leaves Leland's body in that scene where the sprinklers come on in the jail cell, why does Leland always say "They made me do it"? Why doesn't he say 'He' made me do it, as in BOB? Did Donna, after Mrs. Tremond (middle-aged lady) gives her the letter from Harold, know that Leland is Laura's killer? I get that impression, because otherwise it doesn't explain why she went to their house to tell Leland about the secret diary. Also, didn't Harold kill himself the night after Donna and Maddy try to take the diary. How did he manage to mail that letter to Donna? When Norma's mother (alledgely M.T. Wentz) is eating her omlets, she spits it out and comments about the fowl where the egg came from . After that, she says if she ate anymore that she might run into a thumbtack. Does she mean a thumbtack in the eggs? Or is this an expression that means the eggs are terrible? Where does Bobby take this receipt to claim Leo's old boots from? A shoe repair shop? If so, would it not be possible for the repair shop to accidentaly come across the tape in the sole? Or were they just suppose to clean the shoes? Is Mrs. Tremond's grandson played by David Lynch's son or something? In the roadhouse, the night Maddy is killed, Donna is sitting in a both with James. The Giant tells Cooper that it is happening again. He goes, she starts crying. Why? Also, Bobby has this remorseful look on his face. Why? Does anyone know if the Log Lady saw the Giant up on the stage. When WowoW (Japan Satellite Broadcasting Co.) showed the series, they included litte snippets before and after every three or four episodes about the characters, and recapped the highlights of what had happened so far. At the end of the series. They show an interview with Sheryl Lee (there were lots of interviews) where she mentions that nobody, not even the cast knew who the killer was going to be. When the time had come, she, Ray Wise, and Richard Beymer are called up to Lynch's office, and are finally told who the killer will be. She says, that they were equally amazed. She also says that three different versions of Maddy's killing was shot, one with Leland, Ben, and BOB. This was so that the crew would not know which would be aired. Except that the one with BOB would be shown off and on with the actual killer. Wouldn't you like to see the one with Ben doing the killing scene? Also, there is a catch to the RR Diner neon sign that the JSB people, or whoever was making the short snippets, found interesting. It is only mildly interesting, if anything, but they say that the Diner actually exists (ho hum) and that they used a neon with the double RR logo for the series by simply placing it on the existing sign. At times, they could not do this, so they shot the diner from an angle so that the tree would hide where the RR was supposed to go. . Well, I found a scene where they shot it from a lower angle without putting the RR on it, AND without concealing the part where the RR should go, such as with the tree. Does anyone understand what I'm talking about? Is this a shooting mistake? peeve: That check for $5 million that was given to Ben Horne by Catherine (Mr. Tajamura) did not say the Bank of Tokyo on it. It said something completely different. Interesting aside: The person that did the Japanese language subtitles for FWWM hired a friend of mine (who does English subtitles for Japanese movies) over to screen it with her so that he could help her grasp the meaning of everything. I asked my friend what FWWM was like and he said it was impossible to tell (not just because he has to maintain confidentiality) but because the film had a masking over it when played back on the deck. Sorta like a porno flick but worse. Alas, I have yet to see the movie. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |Joji Matsuo | From the country where black art is used to control| |joji@twics.co.jp | pornography. | ----------------------------------------------------------------------
