The scene where she gives Harold the diary is in FWWM and occurs basically the day before or the same day as her death.

I read an article once that really just consisted of someone talking to all of Lynch's favorite actors about him and they all radiated this "David Lynch is basically Buddha" aura while talking about him, it was really sweet.

She gave the diary to Harold AFTER she discovers Leland/BOB in the place that she hid her diary and realizes pages were torn out.

I'd say a mix of that and then how utterly FUBAR'd his following "attempt to make amends for my bad ways" conversation with Donna's family ended up. The Haywards, for all that the town's darkness drew in around them, remained a beacon of respect and love for one another. Ben Horne waltzed in to tell Donna he's her…

And put together the purpose of the glass box, if it was specifically built by someone interested in whether or not contact could be made with residents of the Black Lodge.

I literally say that shockingly often as a way of telling people my memory is basically swiss cheese on a good day.

True that.

They probably don't suspect that guy as a child-murderer, just know that his truck fits the description of the truck that hit a little kid, and there aren't too many like it, so it's best to ask him some questions.

Plus, Lara Flynn Boyle's kind of a shitheel too.

I think he was hesitant because he wasn't sure if she really would appreciate physical comforting or not. After all, odds are good Gordon Cole knows EXACTLY what happened between Diane and DoppelCoop, and it sounds like he's aware that the FBI failed her in the aftermath - she's clearly no longer a part of it.

Sheryl Lee has also said that ever since FWWM victims of abuse, rape, and incest come up to her and tell her that her performance was like having someone recognize the hell they had lived through and thank her for playing the part so well.

Makes you wonder if he's had a day of fun in his whole life.

You know what I love about Lynch? He clearly had it planned that DoppelCoop was going to get out of prison, and he's not the type of director who relies on that cliche'd "bad guy gets himself trapped as part of elaborate action set piece" nonsense.

Michael Ontkean was basically totally off the map and in retirement, and it's entirely possible he just… didn't really want to come back and work again.

I think it just emphasizes Bad Coop's lack of humanity whenever you hear that unsettlingly flat, deep voice.

It's very interesting whenever Andy gets to just be a cop doing cop stuff, instead his entire character getting reduced to slapstick comedy and intimations of serious stupidity. I love when Andy just… does cop stuf, fairly competently, and gets on with life.

Lynch really loves utilizing weird old-fashioned-seeming details like that in his work, though, so I could see that just bein gan affectation he thought was amusing and ran with.

"Jade give two rides."

Well, not much. She's Norma's sister. They could literally just go down to the diner for a coffee and be like, Hey Norma, what's your sister up to these days?

I would have liked the show to not give him Annie as a love interest but I also get the "he can't take advantage of a teenager, that's anti-Coop". At the same time, though, is it? In his past he gets involved with a married woman. He has a weakness for relationships he shouldn't get into.
