WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ONE ARMED MAN??? The last we see of him is when he is in bed giving Cooper the last clue. Did he die?

Considering what I said about his scene in ep.8 he's probably still in that room and everyone has forgotten about him... Poor Mike...

No, I don´t think so.

I never got if he actually died or just passed out at the end of that scene. 


Yeah but no but yeah but no but....

EDIT: http://www.glastonberrygrove.net/texts/script16.html

In this script, Truman writes him off as schizophrenic, along with Leland, right before Briggs utters "there is more to heaven and earth..."   Is that the way it is in the series?

1. the intercut dog barking in the "road rage" scene in fwwm. i can't even begin to make a valid theory on this one. is it supposed to be another metaphor for bob, like fire or the owls?

 Obviously, Leland is a T-800 Terminator.

 This is actually the question I came here to ask.  :)   I was wondering if I'd missed something, or if he really did just disappear from the series.  I guess he did.

That's a good one. Season 2 felt like it kept trying to go off on an alien abduction tangent with that scene, the references to Project Blue Book, the messages to Cooper from space and so on, but it never quite got there.

1. the intercut dog barking in the "road rage" scene in fwwm.

2. "the great went" - no idea what this is supposed to mean

3. why there's a "mike and bob" and a "mike and bobby."

4. when mike explains that he cut his arm off because he "saw the face of god," this really isn't much of an explanation. the judeo-christian god?


1. I guess it applies to everything when Lynch says in 'Catching the Big Fish' he's got no idea what the little box is in Mullholland Drive. But dogs go everywhere in his stuff - Angriest Dog in the World, there's dogs in his Bob paintings, in her intro to Episode 19, the Log Lady says her dog once ate so much earth he died and turned back into the earth. And he was black and white. Like the Lodges.

2. What if Lynch was reading a book on Alexander the Great and it said "It was then that Alexander the Great went boldly into Siwa Oasis"? And he put the emphasis in the wrong place because that struck him as amusing.?

3. I think Lynch likes silly obfuscation. Incidentally, I chuckled when he was referred to by his full name, Mike Nelson.

4. I tend to think that as 'seeing the face of God' is often used as a metaphor for your basic garden-variety enlightenment, in this instance it means realising the error of one's ways. For it is written, apparently, in 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will hear their land".

It is later explained that while Briggs & Co. monitor the outer space the message for Coop came from the woods, removing completely and thankfully the possible alien implications... The Lodges (probably the White one) sent the message and abducted Briggs.

still, all of the white lodge/bluebook stuff still doesn't explain why garland went from wearing camping gear, to old skool flight gear (complete with goggles and scarf for wind blowing effect) i mean, i know that he's a pilot, but...umm...it sort of ruins the drama of the reunion between the briggs'. maybe it was for comic effect. who knows. it just never sat well with me. hehe

What about the scene where he's sitting in a throne in some kind of forest?

I remember a long time ago we discussed a theory about Briggs' outfit, which said that the White Lodge made him relive the best moment of his life, when he was a young pilot in some war (what's good about it escapes me, but...you know Briggs), in the same way the Black Lodge made Coop relive the worst: Caroline's death...

And related to the WL: who's that hooded figure (the Guardian) that appears from time to time? Just the guy who was in charge of taking Briggsy? Someone else?

 i generally choose to think that the foresty throne was the white lodge. or at least, briggs's version of it. as for the hooded figure, i always assumed that was a dugpa. which is kind of stupid in retrospect, dugpas dont look anything like the Meddling Monk.

i generally choose to reckon, in the context of the scene, and Briggs being a spiritual, meditative guy, that the throne is his sort of 'centre technique'...a sort of 'happy place etc' where he can focus clearly. as for the hooded guy, just part of the show's slightly half hearted, half baked leaning towards mystical mumbo jumbo..alas.

What does Tim Pinkle do for a living?

Choreographer? Port-O-Matic seller (he mentions a "machine shop")? Taxidermist (Tim & Tom's)? Nothing really and all those are hobbies?

Pinkle, I assume, is an independently wealthy jet-setter with a variety of international concerns.  He was absent during the first part of the series because he was on safari or something.

i really wish that in season 2 they had focused on the characters they had in season 1. there are very few new characters that i feel are on the same level as the ones introduced in season 1. i like the travelling judge, jean renault, andrew packard, and....welp, looks like that's it

the insurance saleman who warns off catherine and trudy at the great northern are more riveting than pinkle, the fbi agent who comes down on coop, david duchovny's character, MT freaking wentz and her vaudville comedy-level husband, the chick who kills the mayor's brother with sex, little nicky, dick tremayne, the enormous coach who tells the wrestling team that nadine can wrestle, or that razzafrazzin consierge at the great northern i hate so much.

Ah, Great Northern's Louie... So extremely annoying...

BTW, the layout of the hotel is another great mystery to me... If you leave Ben's office which way is the lobby? Left, right? Because we see people going both ways. The same goes for the sheriff's station.... Where are the cells? Because we see Coop and Doc Hayward coming from them in one direction and later Hawk and Leland in the opposite one. Besides, people leave the conference room and go to the LEFT when the exit is to the right.... I'm confused... I know, I know, "Gordon, it's all a set. No hay banda. There are no cells", but what annoys me is that I noticed and no one involved in the filming did....

I think most of us didn't give a damn that "M.T. WENTZ IS COMING TO TWIN PEAKS!!!" because of her...
