Goons, I've loved watching this season with you fools, and I can't wait to discuss the finale with y'all after work tonight. These months blew past way too quickly, and for me this season has been everything I wanted and then some.

I, for one, can't wait for the climax where Audrey fights a giant CGI samurai BOB while wearing a Japanese schoolgirl uniform.

This reminds me of something I've been curious about...

I'd love to know what non-Americans think about Twin Peaks' depiction of America, especially compared to other depictions of America in media you've seen.

Jacoby makes sense, this was after the first few aired and the story really uses him as a red herring around then

Because it was 1990 and that stuff wasn't commonplace in popular media.

The poll implies that most people couldn't conceive of the notion of a father killing his daughter.

More people thought Laura was somehow still alive, despite her corpse being examined and buried in these first few episodes.

America in the early 90s was an interesting place. I can remember countless news op-ed pieces concerned about what the effect the simpsons would have an effect on children because bart said "drat" in an episode. I wish I was kidding. This is a society that wasn't too far removed from the satanic panic (which actually got real innocent people killed and/or thrown in prison for crimes they did not commit) and blaming Judas Priest for teengagers trying to kill themselves.

This was a society that needed to warn people that lyrics on albums were "explicit." The poll results are telling because they couldn't fathom the idea of a t.v. show in which a father ritualistically raped his own daughter and ultimately killed her.

He even has dialogue in ep 2, he tells James that the Roadhouse is the dog's bollocks.

The problem with america is that it's a stolen country with no real mysticism or mythology of its own. You can count the # of entertainment properties which even attempts to address the fact that the land and its history is full of native mysticism and spirituality (like literally Twin Peaks, Poltergiest I+II, Wolfen, and the goddamn Manitou). It's a sad fact that most americans have no knowledge of any history about the place they live in at any time period prior to when white people showed up.

Granted, Twin Peaks just kinda mentions that all these lodge spirits and portals to other places have some roots to native mysticism via cave paintings and the character of Hawk but clearly they're inventions of frost/lynch's imagination. However there's a definite theme to the show that there's more to this land that anyone who currently occupies it ever cares to learn about.

To be fair, the show doesn't actually start implying it was Leland or really even dropping hints until Maddy arrives or shortly before. Obviously people wouldn't suspect him if there's no reason to compared to the other characters higher up on that list- what the poll really shows is that people are buying into the red herrings.

edit: And there's a lot that's pretty obvious in hindsight from even the first couple episodes, but the reason Bob appearing in Leland's reflection is so surprising is because you don't have much reason to think he did it until just beforehand. Jacoby being at the tippy top is pretty drat funny though.

I am really enjoying thinking about what those people must've been picturing: Cooper partaking in the end of Fire Walk With Me in the place of Leland, and then purposefully leaving town only to come back a couple days later and reintroduce himself to all these people that have magically forgotten about him.

"Diane, I'm heading into Twin Peaks, again-- Oh wait, crap, I mean for the first time"

edit: For him to have done it, he would have had to drive back and forth over state lines and/or get on a plane like three or four times over the span of a couple days. :allears:

I have encountered a few instances of people coming to the show new thinking that Coop isn't a real FBI agent. At least in the first few episodes. If you thought he was a fake it becomes a lot more plausible. Not totally plausible but I could see getting there while trying to out-think the show.

Weird that it took 27 years before the show would outright disprove that theory
