“I will see you again in 25 years”

Recent events have me giddy of late.

Twin Peaks shall return.

I would like to take a moment to gloat to everyone I have been telling for years, that it was bound to come back. When asked how I knew this, it is because the story was only partially told. David Lynch is an artist first and foremost. I grew up with his works, and there’s always been something in the details with him, that one should never overlook. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but it’s hard to be objective when one is speaking of one of their idols in film.

What has become of everyone?!

That is an exciting question right there, to be answered in: The Secret Lives of Twin Peaks by Mark Frost, coming in 2015. This is the fourth official tie-in book to the show & film. So if you’re getting your collection together, your shelf should have these on it already:

The Secret Diary Of Laura Palmer (1990) by Jennifer Lynch
The Autobiography of F.B.I. Special Agent Dale Cooper: My Life, My Tapes (1991) by Scott Frost
Twin Peaks: An Access Guide to the Town (1991) by David Lynch, Mark Frost and Richard Saul Wurman

Behind the scenes: Lara Flynn Boyle and David Lynch filming for the Twin Peaks pilot. (Pretty sure she’s wearing the jacket from her role in Dead Poets Society here)

So the biggest question on my mind is… “How’s Annie?”

So many claim that she was a ‘non-character’ to the show but I beg to differ. Annie is nowhere near a non-character. Listen to her talk about the cycle of pain she endured. Between her suicide attempt, and the stint at the convent as a means to escape the nightmares of life, she’s no stranger to the darkness that the lodge holds… that’s why they had him bring her there as the queen. That’s why they kept her. What I find the most mystifying in the real world, is how little Heather Graham has aged over the years. I still remember her from when I was a tater-tot watching what was then an old film, Drug Store Cowboy. (She plays the Jinx in it) Luckily if she’s in the new series, it won’t be questionable that she was nearly frozen in time within the Lodge.

Is Nadine still locked into a contract of unrequited love of which she refused to let go? Had she been to the Black Lodge in her fugue state as so many have come to believe?
Did Big Ed & Norma convince her to let him go, so they could finally experience nuptial bliss?

Did Shelley & Bobby make it after all? Is she still serving pies at the RR?

Shall we find out that Audrey did indeed reunite with the man she loved so dearly?

Who the hell is going to play Donna?!

Will we see Laura again?

Soon we’ll be revisiting the Lodges again.

Here’s hoping we see The Arm within, and that his warning wasn’t a literal one.
