His relationship with Laura had been going on for some time before FWWM.

It only "didn't show it" in the sense that we largely saw the knife, not the point at which it entered Laura's body repeatedly. We get a pretty brutally graphic showing of her death in FWWM.

She wasn't written out - they do mention her early on, I think, but I assume she got on with her life and stayed the hell away from anything to do with Twin Peaks from there on out. After all, she only knew this Dale Cooper guy for a few months and everything went to hell.

It's not Dougie's body.

James's mom was Big Ed's sister, IIRC, and so he was "from" Twin Peaks but wasn't born there - his mom moved back there with him, and then proceeded to largely abandon him with Big Ed for long stretches of time so she could pursue alcoholism and meeting strange men in hotel rooms.

Audrey was just a spoiled brat with a big heart she was busy pretending wasn't there, though. When someone gave her positive attention, she glowed and became a better person as a result of it.

Or the fact that Sonny Jim blinks backwards like those who are in the Black Lodge do - something it took me two views of that scene to catch.

I also think that DoppelCoop was referencing the fact that he's not human. He's an evil lookalike that largely passes as human, but in the end, he's not. He doesn't have human needs, per se - only his own desire to dominate, ruin, and destroy.

God, I hate that she did such a good job as Donna because she absolutely ruined things behind-the-scenes (granted, that's according to rumors). And she was never as warm and girl-next-door and affectin again as she was on this show.

Well, I mean, think about Shelly in the original TP run. She was with a hulking abuser like Leo who was never particularly bright, but he was so menacing that we could kind of see that she'd been trapped and didn't see any way out. Lynch is playing with the way these cycles of history repeat themselves.

Yeah, they basically managed to just never mention that again. We may find out that Bobby going into law enforcement was in some way an attempt to atone for all of that mess.

It's not something I thought about at first, that much of his hard transition back into the real world might just be having to deal with a linear time progression. Think about the huge long pauses where no one says or does seemingly anything in the Lodge, and it's just a part of how it operates. And the way see young…

I'd love to see a mention or two of Chet Desmond's mysterious fate. By all accounts he's likely to be trapped somewhere in the Lodge with all the other victims, too.

You know, you're right. Any son of Jerry's really WOULD be that big of a douchebag. That makes a lot of sense.

I didn't catch it at first, just knew SOMETHING was off about that scene and had to rewind to look at it again.

The look on Nadine's face was so perfect, too - just this very soft, nostalgic smile. She didn't look crazed or manic, just… so blissfully happy to be watching Jacoby's bizarre internet rant about liberty.

Screw that, green tea lattes are awesome.

"I am dead, and yet I live."

Re: 6), Bobby was largely an unmemorable high school football player before he fell in with Laura Palmer. Their relationship was insanely corrupting, but it was Bobby that was corrupted by Laura, which is a really interesting choice on Lynch's part, to have it be that Laura turned Bobby into a coke dealer because she…

I thought the long and tearful gaze at Sonny Jim was some part of Dale Cooper dimly remembering that having a family was always something he had planned on doing - after all, he was still a young agent. He mentions that marrying, settling down, and having children is an eventual goal of his early on in Twin Peaks -…
