A Site Both Wonderful & Strange
As Twin Peaks fans, we will often be asked by other fans which character we are the most similar to, or we relate to the most. It’s a game we all like to play, and often there are several answers as we consider the people we were in 1989 compared to the people we are …
Now that we’ve had a couple of weeks to process the entire picture, I feel it would be nice to go back to the beginning and revisit some of the earlier characters that were dispatched of all the way back in parts 1 and 2. Firstly, Beulah and Otis, who were some of the first …
One character from The Return I would love to find out more about is Red. For someone with very little screen time, he didn’t exactly go unnoticed, mainly because his scenes were so well-placed and so well done (and partly, I’m sure, because he’s Balthazar Getty). Red is only in 3 scenes out of the …

That heading is of course not from Twin Peaks, but rather is Johnny Rotten's famous reaction to realizing his whole career up to that point was a money-making scam, and he was about to be sold down the river. The end of Twin Peaks has left many fans feeling the same way. It has also …

Let’s talk about BOB. I always had one issue with this character, and that was that I never found him scary. Other fans talk about their nightmares and fear of him, but for me his motives are entirely apparent and clear, and that takes away any creepiness. The thought of BOB never scared me, just …

As we are here so close to the end, I want to go right back to the beginning. I really have felt all along that those first Sam and Tracey scenes, the ones sans sucked-off heads, are going to be integral to the bigger picture. It always felt that we were watching a flirtation that …
Angels, as we all know, are an important theme throughout Fire Walk With Me, and it is a theme that is recurring gently through The Return. We are encountering angels in all forms, including the helpers in life, the protectors and the kind-hearted. The entire story of Twin Peaks has a strong basis in spirituality. …

Poor Nadine is a very divisive character. There are those who blame her for keeping Ed from Norma, some who are annoyed by her nagging temperament, and others who love her sweetness and her loyalty. The best thing that happened to Nadine, in her eyes, is marrying Ed. The timid girl, the nobody, the ‘little …

The psychic connections between the Palmer women have always been strong. Not much is known about Sarah, but she clearly is of a nervous disposition. A scene in the Missing Pieces implies that she has had a breakdown, and one recent enough for Laura to know about it. She and Laura are very close in …

We don’t know much about Shelly Johnson before she hopped into Bobby’s truck for 'a little pick-me-up before homeroom’. She lives with Leo in a half-built house in the middle of nowhere, probably a lonely place for a young girl left alone for weeks at a time without even the protection of walls around her. …
