The whole "Annie" storyline was a misfire forced on the production because Lara Flynn Boyle (who was dating MacLachlan) insisted that Cooper not end up with Audrey, despite overwhelming desire for this both within the plot and from the audience, so — as Sherilyn Fenn discussed here on AVClub — they brought in Heather…

And it's at 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, for whatever that's worth.

The shots of her gesturing and explaining were incredibly funny.

This one is for the Planet of the Apes! Totally different.

I'm still haunted by your animation of Gerard's "Don't die" hand gesture. So expressionistic…and you caught what was so moving about that moment.

So, be the vanguard! (Anyway I'm sure you're not.)

Except he's not dead; he's clearly breathing at the end of the shot.

There's no call for that kind of talk!

For Heaven's sake, don't let any of those compuntions stop you! Look at Jasper Johns (who blatantly does entire MoMA exhibits based on his re-painting of Renaissance classics or photographs he's seen in the newspaper, etc). I just saw a stunning Picasso show (at the Clark Institute) which had a whole bunch of…

We know for certain that Lynch/Frost had absolute final cut and Showtime was not permitted to interfere at all.

I think Andy's investigation of the truck led to the truck's owner getting killed (either by the Horne kid or by Balthazar Getty), at which point the awful, corrupt cop "took over" the investigation (and is protecting the criminals).

The "dream" language is left over from the original, one-shot Twin Peaks in which the story is resolved at the end of two hours, and the one-armed man killed Laura. (You can watch it on the Blu-ray set.) In that version, the ending of #3 was part of the original pilot footage.

Thank you, because I spent the entire season of Westworld insisting that everyone's "two timelines" theory was wrong because there was no way anyone would do anything so incredibly stupid…only to be proven wrong at the end.

Hey Michael, are you going to do any more of your excellent animated paintings based on the show? (I'd love to see your rendition of Episode 8.)

Andy and Lucy are pretty clearly legacy holdovers whom the town couldn't bring themselves to fire…they just set up another complete/modern police station in the back of the same building. (I love it.)

Interesting stuff, but I suspect it's more about triggering Audrey's return to the town.

When I was a kid and my parents listened to a lot of classical radio, I always thought the announcer was discussing "Claude W. C."

But we know that the bands are "playing themselves" (not fictitious, less-successful doppelgangers) because Nine Inch Nails were introduced by name.

The scene with the wife was incredible, wasn't it? That fury that comes out of him, through the terror and grief.

He's barely in it. Yet another of Laura Palmer's "good works" was that she came around to tutor him.
