Sorry if this happens to be a very old, out of date question, but I'm going to
ask it anyway.

1. What equipment is required for (a) IBM PC's, (b) Apple Mac's to be able to
   display Peaks bitmaps/gifs and/or "run" sound sample files from the
   soundtrack ?

2. What equipment is needed to store and run whole Peaks segments, or actual
   whole episodes (as I have heard people report ?) I presume each bitmap is
   stored and runs in synch with the sound file, so in effect you can play
   (and edit !!) videos on your computer.

Any help would be VASTLY appreciated, but please email me rather than post.

Regards,

Well, I just finished my second viewing of the visual soundtrack.
It is basically a video shot around the Snoqualime Valley, Wa area
that includes areas where the TV series was filmed (The traincar, The
Great Northern, The RR Cafe, etc.). The titles and the editing are well done
and the clarity is superb. It also has Japanese subtitles which provide
the words for the Julee Cruise songs, and also a sort of history of the
locations in the Twin Peaks area. (I really don't know what they are, my
friend took some Japanese, and he said that was all he could get out of it.)
The Laserdisc is CLV, so no pause-still frame features.

Overall, if you are a die-hard Peakie, i suggest you get it. However, if you
have been to the area, and have the CD, only get it if you are interested
in seeing a typical Snoqualime Valley day. (It does show the gift shop that
sells a wide variety of TP products. If anyone is interested, I will post it.)

Or better yet, just slap together both Red Room scenes, back to back, and 
answer the bazillion questions people will be asking. Seriously, there 
was a show on television called "Behind the Scenes" and it "mapped" all 
the happenings in TP through the first season. It was hosted by the 
father on "Growing Pains".

Subject: Finale - New (or very old) questions...
Organization: Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Distribution: alt.tv.twin-peaks
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 1992 11:09:45 GMT

I watched the second season finale just a few moments ago, and came up
with several questions/observations which are new to me ('though they
may well have been hashed over here in the past) and which I would like
to see discussed.

First, is there a good GIF of the Owl Cave map anywhere?

The reason I ask (aside from a general curiousity) is that the Giant and
the Little Man are clearly drawn on the map (upper left corner) as it is
shown on the screen -- are any of the other lodge-dwellers there?


Are we to take it that the pool in Glastonbury (sp) Grove is a pool of
the same sort of oil with which Cooper is provided by the Log Lady?
The LL's husband told her, she says, that the oil is an "opening to a
gateway."  When Cooper peers closely at the pool, he says musingly "An
opening to a gateway."  Comments?

When Garland Briggs bumps into Hawk while stumbling out of the woods in
a drugged haze, he asks Hawk "Which way to the Castle?"  He later
mentions the King of Romania.  Did anyone catch the exact quote about
the King (I can't make it out.)

When Mrs. Palmer is giving her message to Garland in the RR Diner, she
says "I'm in the black lodge with Agent Cooper."  Observation:  _black_
lodge.  Annie tells Laura in FWWM that the good Dale is in "the Lodge",
no color attached.  Has Dale moved from one lodge to the other
(presumably that angel at the end is not hanging out in the Black Lodge)
or is Annie just unclear on the split? 

A moment after Mrs. Palmer delivers her message, the view shifts to a
shot inside the black lodge, and the LMFAP's voice says "I'm waiting for
you."  Is this/ is this not part of the message given to Garland (thus
implying that the LMFAP is the one speaking through Mrs. Palmer.)  If
not -- some posters said that they heard a very deep voice say "Judy"
in FWWM during the shot of the simian face in the Lodge.  Anyone want to
hypothesize that that deep voice was the same deep voice as spoke
through Mrs. Palmer?

A final observation, and perhaps most startling to me: When Cooper is in
the Lodge in the finale, after he has left the waiting room and wandered
about a bit, he walks into a room where the LMFAP is standing not too
far from him.  The LMFAP snarls/grimaces and says "Doppleganger".  The
observation I made here is that the LMFAP's eyes are _glazed_over_ in
the style of the other Dopplegangers.  This seems to confirm that at
least some Lodge residents have dopplegangers, and leads to all sorts of
weird new theorizations.  

Please flame!
Jeremy

I thought that Lynch directed the last hour of TP. How much more

I have a bone to pick with "On the Air", and for that matter, David Lynch.
I'm happy to see that jack nance did not appear on the show, because it
was partly OTA's fault that TP got canceled. According to Kyle, David
Lynch stopped supervising the show, both on the set and with the network,
and this led to a breakdown of the show's quality(hence the rather ludi-
crous final episode- what the hell was that anyway? It didn't seem like 
TP anymore), as well as allowing the networks to play musical time 
slots, and therefore causing ratings to slip further and further into the
"cancellation abyss". I'm really angry that Lynch was willing to sacrifice
TP for OTA, and, as seen by OTA's cancellation, nobody was happy with the
sacrifice.

As far as I interpret it, Lynch indeed left it in the hands of others partly
because of course he is a film director, and for all the previous reasons
stated, and also because he genuinely felt comfortable with having somebody
else take the ball and run with it, and go with his original set of ideas and
make their own interpretation.
From what I've read and heard, Lynch probably regrets this decision, but how
was he to know anyway. That was the first time he had tried television, and the
rules are a lot different. He probably expected that the quality of the program
would remain the same with the people he left, or ABC left in charge of it. Who
knows. Either way in putting together the last couple of episodes, I guess he
made an attempt to salvage what he had started, or at least finish the way he
would have liked to have done it.

All things considered, I think its hard to blame Lynch for doing something wrong
on that alone. I don't think Twin Peaks the television programme was Lynch's
best work, but the unique and special nature of the first half dozen of the Twin
Peaks episodes made TV history and redeems him for whatever bad business 
decisions he might have made later on.

Hi Erika,

  I never answer the question "What's so terrific about Twin Peaks?" with 
words.  I just silently walk to the TV, throw in the tape of the first 
episode, and walk away.

If you're looking for stuff about Laure Plamers secret life I for
 one would include the bit from the premier where Harry says something
 to the effect of "Mr Cooper you didn't know Laura Palmer" and
 Coop replies "Sherrif lets get working on a court order to
 open that safety deposit box and maybe we'll bothe find out a thing or
 two about LP"
Or maybe the scene in the waiting room with the LMFAP saying shes
filled with secrets.

 Just wondering, as someone jogged my memory by tacking on this quote at the 
end of a posting...

 In the final episode, when Windom drags Annie into the circle of sycamores, 
he says "I tell you they have not died... blah blah something." Is he 
talking about the people from the black lodge, since in FWWM we see them

Ever notice that the ceiling fan in Laura Palmers home goes counterclockwise
instead of clockwise like normal ceiling fans do?

Also: ceiling fans are used as a symbol of death in Blade Runner.  Before
someone gets killed, there is always a ceiling fan nearby.

Yes we will.  "On the Air" is being aired in Sweden now, all seven episodes.  Jack Nance
has not appeared in any of the first four episodes, but it's not too late yet.  Of the 
episodes shown so far, only the pilot was actually directed by David Lynch, BTW.  Mark
Frost seems to have written all the episodes (pilot co-written with Lynch).  The whole 
series is being released on tape and laserdisc in Japan, so there's still hope for 
desperate Americans to see them all.

In case anyone is interested, episode four guest-starred Freddie Jones, who plays John 
Merrick's "owner" in The Elephant Man, and the "Pigeons spread diseases" guy in Wild at
Heart.  I'm sure he's done lots of other things as well.

To bring the discussion back to the subject line, Jack Nance is also in Lynch's "The 
Cowboy and the Frenchman" (his character's name is, semi-interestingly, Pete).

Nice list, Wayne.  I would have included Mash in my post but I couldn't
remember individual episodes that would stand out as rivals.

What I will do is introduce two more candidates for funniest half-hour,
sit-com episodes.

  The first would be the Taxi show that both introduced Reverend Jim and
had Latka marry a prostitute in order to stay in the country.   Jim's
spaced out performance, especially when confronted by Latka's foreign
word responses to the marriage ceremony, were so priceless that it earned
him a permanent membership on the show.

  The second would be the Taxi show in where the whole crew ate Marijuana
(or was that cocaine) laden brownies.  The next morning, someone finds the
star of the show still hyperactive at the garage and asks him what he has
been doing.  He responds with that he is writing an opera and in fact this
is his third one of the night.

If not classic, these shows come close.

He doesn't excactly slide into Jerry's apt. First, he unlocks the door with his
