Twin Peaks Thread - S1&2 + Return + Fire Walk With Me

Thanks. So is the fire he keeps going the same one as in "Fire, Walk With Me"? I never understood what that meant, either, but I assumed it wasn't a good fire.

I sometimes dislike this kind of questioning because I am certainly not an expert on the series or Frost's and Lynch's minds, and I definitely don't want to come off as though I am. They leave a lot open to interpretation. I don't mind the questions, to be clear -- I love speculating -- but I don't want to seem like I'm dictating to someone else my OWN interpretation. I hope that makes sense.

Anyway, here is the poem from the original run/show (by MIKE /Philip Gerard/"the one-armed man"):

Through the darkness of future past 

The magician longs to see. 

One chants out between two worlds 

Fire walk with me.

I don’t get the sense that the Fireman is out there trying to stamp out “fires.” It’s more like he is trying to “drive” or move things along, not run around putting out “fires.”

For what the poem means, that’s up to interpretation, though to me it definitely references esoteric material, especially when in the old run they talked about "the dweller on the threshold."

On edit: Sorry, I think I worded the above badly. I don't mind questions. I just don't want to come off as "Well obviously Lynch meant [this] or [that]" when discussing this show, as though I'm some sort of self-styled Lynch expert (lol).

I suppose I'd like more of a dialogue, though, then just asking or answering questions.

What do you think, Chris, what all this means, eh?
