Podcasts made up a huge part of many fans’ experiences of Twin Peaks Season 3 last summer. In our feature, Pod People, we talk to the people behind the microphones of our favorite podcasts to find out what they’ve been up to and where they’re going next. “Welcome to Deer Meadow Radio. Where the owls are still …
Author’s note regarding spoilers: Granted, this book has been out for 25 years now, so the statute of limitations on spoilers expired, oh, about 24 years ago. However, I realize that there are still quite a few Twin Peaks fans who might only be now discovering that Frost wrote a few other books before the …
“No knock, no doorbell.” - Diane Evans Here’s what I said about Part 16 a year ago in my Third Day Theories article: “Amazing episode. If Part 8 was pure heroin Lynch, then Part 16 (double-8?) was pure heroin Twin Peaks. In the fan community, there is near universal agreement. It scored a 9.8 post-episode …

In the aftermath of the Twin Peaks Season 3 finale, I was a bit.. um, devastated? Maybe that’s a bit too strong a word. Disappointed, probably captures the feeling best.

Who killed Ruth Davenport? This still stands as one of the burning, unanswered questions of Season 3. The kill shot to the eye would seem to be the calling card of Bad Cooper, but if he was there, why does he need the coordinates that were written on her body? Perhaps it was Bill Hastings, …
