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

I know one shouldn't expect to have everything explained, but I am still really curious about the insect/frog creature that climbed into the girl's mouth in Episode 8. I saw some online speculation about what it meant at the time, but wondered whether anyone had seen a convincing interpretation.

Yesterday, 04:34 PM

Sci said "I really wish there would be more focus on another NDEr than Eben Alexander but I'll take what I can get when it comes to NDEs entering the public consciousness."

I was retaliating Sci (it was joke, not a very good one clearly). You posted the above statement in a thread which I started under the heading Dr Eben Alexander's new book. Was it not appropriate of me to post material from Alexander ? Please say yes or I'll have to start dancing myself to death with bewilderment.....

Oh that wasn't a criticism of you making the post, rather I think Dr. Alexander might just end up being a fraud and thus embarrassment to the community.

Isn't it kind of the other way around?

To some he is already considered an embarrassment or possibly a fraud, on the basis that he was accused of fraud (or similar). Politicians know this - throw mud at your opponents, some of it sticks, regardless of the facts.

I made a similar post on the relevant thread, probably want to keep this thread about Twin Peaks.

What's he done that's fraudulent, Sci ?

Thanks but I can't see it. Where is it ?

Well, you, me and my eight-year-old son. Apparently, my son peaked into the room while we were re-watching that episode a few weeks back and saw the very end. When we were going to watch the 17&18 finale, we told him he had to leave because we were going to watch Twin Peaks. He said, “I want to watch it too!” Confused, I asked him why, and he said, “I want to know what happened to the girl who got the bug in her mouth.” Of course, I was all, “Whaaaaaa?”

I suppose the online consensus is that it’s Sarah Palmer and the bug represents her possession(?) by the Experiment/Mother/Judy, though there is no evidence of that, really. I think this might be one of those things that will go unanswered, unless there is a season four. If it never gets answered, I’m just going to go with the Sarah Palmer thing, just like I suppose Steven murdered Becky and shot himself out of guilt, and other open-ended storylines in the show.

Cooper's Doppelganger was looking for Judy, and the Fireman showed him the Palmer house, but then swiped right or whatever and sent him to the Sheriff's station instead, an obvious trap. That seems to imply that Judy is at the Palmer house.... not to mention Sarah Palmer's "face" and a few other scenes involving Sarah. I guess that implies that poor Laura had BOB as her father and Judy as her mother.

That's all I got on that for now!

Thanks very much. I think what I read before was written soon after Episode 8, so "Judy" didn't figure in it. I had been thinking the girl in New Mexico would be older than Sarah Palmer, based on Laura's age, but at any rate the actress who plays Sarah would have been almost exactly the same age as the girl. 

That sounds like the best explanation we're likely to get. Now we only have to figure out what the liquorice allsorts on Lucy's jacket mean ...

Loose ends and questions (having just watched the final episode):

1. Where did Dianne go?

2. Did Cooper and Dianne slip into another reality at the electricity pylons?

3. Was there a reality in which Laura died and another in which she didn't?

4. Was the lady with the bug in her mouth Sarah?

5. Did the atom bomb open a portal to another dimension or parallel world?

6. Is bad Cooper waiting in the red room or is he done?

7. Do all Americans think that Englishmen come in two stereotypes: aristocrats and cockneys?
