I always assumed that Catherine's "guardian angel" was in reference to her brother, but I could be wrong.

Ben:  "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight.  All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."

Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"

Wasn't she totally BS'ing Truman? I mean, she shows up with mud on her face, with her mountain man getup on, even though she's been back for quite a while as Tojimura-san. She was jerking his chain.

But it's a good unsolved mystery because, though Catherine never says it outright, we can guess that since she knew Ben planned to burn the mill, she suspected Ben might try to get rid of her, too, and always planned to meet up with Andrew when that day arrived.

Andrew and Catherine both knew about Josie & Thomas trying to kill him all along (re: ep. 21 & 23), so why wouldn't Cathy think Josie would try to get in on the insurance?

Poor clueless Sheriff Truman.  It never occurs to him to check out the cottage of his tunafish-eating arson suspect.

I think she can see without her glasses because she so overtaken by Laura that she is even beginning to see through Laura's eyes and she is also becoming a threat to Bob.   To me it also seemed like it was making fun of how the nerdy girl transforms in movies is usually when she takes off her glasses.

I actually think Catherine is being sincere. She hasn't been in her "disguise" for THAT long at that point. And it is a fair while between her disappearance and the arrival of the fucked-up looking oriental investor we all know and love.

Plus, if it was written that she was just fobbing him off, they could have poo-poo'd the whole thing without going into an elaborate tale such as the one she tells, which is fitting in with the rest of the strange happenings that are occurring at the time.

And... tuna fish is too genuine. I reckon if she was bullshitting, she would have said "baked beans" or "pot noodles".

Catherine got by on Ramen (I have heard 2 different pronunciations) noodles.  Each bag has enough salt to last you for 2 months.

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

I roll my eyes every time I watch this scene.....Catherine with her perfect makeup, tidy hair, and one smudge on her cheek to make it look real....and Truman buys it!!!

I just thought of another one, maybe one of you guys can answer this one as it's been bugging me on and off since 1990:

WTF is a picture of Leo Johnson's truck doing in Flesh World?!? On a page marked Hot Stuff?!?!  

I'm no expert on porn magazines, but I've-er-read about them in serious sociological journals (that's the ticket!) and don't they usually have pictures of...other kinds of things?

 The same reason Madonna and Tina Turner have British accents - wannabees

something just occurred to me- i guess the law guys didn't really talk too much to Andy about Bob and what went on with Leland (cos of his sensitivity??)   Because, why would he picture Lil Nick as the Devil, and be so terrified of him, when ...ya know...most of your co workers have had fairly direct experience with some odd supernatural being (big bad bobbbb).

You got that right... I'm sure Coop & Co. don't mention to Andy the more gruesome details of what Leland really was and did. Was he even there when Leland died? I don't remember...

On the other hand that kid is worst than BOB so...

Who told James he could sing?

And are identical cousins biologically possible?

Someone asked and I can't find the thread, but James' mom was Linda Carlson, who resembles the actress who plays Evelyn Marsh. James said that there was definitely something Freudian about the deleted scene.
