I'm rewatching season 2 and i just watched showdown episode with Cooper and Jean Renault. I keep wondering as to whether there were some forces at work in leading him to Dead Dog Farm. It is implied that Dead Dog Farm is a mysterious place, yet nothing more is said of it after that episode. The real-estate lady's description of it could also be used for the Black Lodge, but I'm not sure...
Thoughts?
There was a fiish..iinn the percolatrr!
THis was during the days of Season 2 where Lynch was off filming WAH. Frost was also filming Storyville, I understand he visitied the set, and Lynch helped write the storyline of the episodes....so they still had input.
However, they had been pressured to end the "who killed Laura Palmer" storyline....and they were scrambling there for a bit. The DEAD DOG FARM seemed like an untapped place that could have been used in a deeper fashion....but perhaps it was also for Jean Renault's great death scene. That is a pretty cool moment in the show.
Definitely. Michael Parks' performance of that speech to Cooper, for me, is up there in the series' memorable moments. I just saw his bit in Kill Bill the other night, the old Mexican brothel owner, father-figure to Bill. Too good.....but perhaps it was also for Jean Renault's great death scene. That is a pretty cool moment in the show.
parks is also in both grindhouse films, planet terror and deathproof. ostensibly he is playing the same character, a sheriff.
A sheriff that he also played in FROM DUSK TILL DOWN and KILL BILL...
I always viewed it as a causality type of event that Dale would be in tune with. He is intrigued by a mystery, wants to see it, and this one just happens to intersect perfectly with his being set up.
It's impossible to say if Dale felt the meaning of the property or just had a sense (sort of like he felt a presence when Windom Earle was in the RR that time.)
So that's a 'Dead Dog Farm' and 'Black Dog Runs at Night' as references...
No wonder peeps think Lynch is 'barking mad'.
Outside of the world of 'Twin Peaks' I've this to add regarding it.

"Black Dog""Black Dog" is the term used as slang by intelligence agents of the USA tasked with making contact with nonhuman intelligences or cleaning up after a "UFO" encounter.
A "Black Dog" is a shapeshifting entity, frequently actually black in apparent colour. It can assume a variety of forms, and is able to tap human fear to shape those forms.
Amongst the most infamous of all Black Dog mass experiences is that of the Mothman of Point Pleasant, West Virginia.
"Black Dog" experiences are well known to all branches of Satanism and are alluded to in several songs by Laurel Canyon bands.
In some way not yet understood, Black Dog entities access and possibly even feed off the unconscious mind.
To mention 'dead dogs'...I have come across it in reference to 'ritualised murder' P4 cult/Manson Family/Son of Sam killings...they were typically 'german shepherd' or 'doberman' that were slaughtered. Not forgetting of course that Berkowitz himself claimed that the neighbours dog 'Harvey' was possessed by ancient demons that signalled him to kill.
"Sam" was a 63-year-old neighbor, Sam Carr, and his black Labrador retriever was possessed by ancient demons. The dog’s incessant howling was actually commands beamed out to Berkowitz, telling him to kill. Actually, it turns out that a bunch of demon dogs talked to Berkowitz over the years.
A few indirectly related, but morbid things to digest.
"Gentlemen, when two separate events occur simultaneously pertaining to the same object of inquiry, we must always pay strict attention."Damn interesting stuff!

knowing frost's interest in secret societies and shadow governments, this sounds like something he'd come up with.

I do believe that there was an actual Dead Dog Farm. It was some horrid place near or used for one of the Dune sites in Mexico...
