At a town conference, Cooper informs the community that Laura's death matches the signature of a killer who murdered another girl in southwestern Washington the previous year, and that the evidence potentially indicates the killer being from Twin Peaks.

Through Laura's diaries, local law enforcement alongside Agent Cooper discover that she had been living adouble life.She was cheating on her boyfriend, football captainBobby Briggs,with bikerJames Hurley,and prostituting herself with the help of truck driverLeo Johnsonand drug dealerJacques Renault.Laura was also addicted to cocaine, which she obtained through coercing Bobby into doing business with Jacques.

With the help of Laura's cousinMaddy Ferguson,Donna and James discover that Laura's psychiatrist,Dr. Lawrence Jacoby,was obsessed with her, but he is proven innocent of the murder.

HotelierBen Horne,the wealthiest man in Twin Peaks, plans to destroy the town's lumber mill along with its owner,Josie Packard,and murder his lover (Josie's sister-in-law),Catherine Martell(Piper Laurie), so he can purchase the land at a reduced price and complete a development project called Ghostwood. Horne's sultry, troubled daughter,Audrey,becomes infatuated with Agent Cooper and spies on her father for clues in an effort to win Agent Cooper's affection.

Season 2

[edit]
After solving the murder of Laura Palmer,Kyle MacLachlan's (pictured here in 1991) character of Dale Cooper stays in Twin Peaks to investigate further.

Lying hurt in his hotel room, Cooper has a vision in which agiantappears and reveals three clues: "There is a man in a smiling bag," "the owls are not what they seem," and "without chemicals, he points." He takes a gold ring off Cooper's finger and explains that when Cooper understands the three premonitions, his ring will be returned.

Leo Johnson survives his shooting but is left brain-damaged. Catherine Martell disappears, presumed killed in the mill fire. Leland Palmer, whose hair has turned white overnight, returns to work but behaves erratically. Cooper deduces that the "man in the smiling bag" is the corpse of Jacques Renault in a body bag.

MIKE is inhabiting the body of Phillip Gerard. His personality surfaces when Gerard forgoes the use of a certain drug. MIKE reveals that he and BOB once collaborated in killing humans and that BOB is similarly inhabiting a man in the town. Cooper and the sheriff's department use MIKE, in control of Gerard's body, to help find BOB ( "without chemicals, he points" ).

Donna befriends anagoraphobicorchid grower named Harold Smith whom Laura entrusted with her second, secret diary. Harold catches Donna and Maddy attempting to steal the diary from him and hangs himself in despair. Cooper and the sheriff's department take possession of Laura's secret diary and learn that BOB, a friend of her father's, had been sexually abusing her since childhood and she used drugs to cope. They initially suspect that the killer is Ben Horne and arrest him, but Leland Palmer is revealed to viewers to be BOB's host when he kills Maddy.

Cooper begins to doubt Horne's guilt, so he gathers all of his suspects in the belief that he will receive a sign to help him identify the killer. The Giant appears and confirms that Leland is BOB's host and Laura's and Maddy's killer, giving Cooper back his ring. Cooper and Truman take Leland into custody. In control of Leland's body, BOB admits to a string of murders, before forcing Leland to commit suicide. As Leland dies, he is freed of BOB's influence and begs for forgiveness. BOB's spirit disappears into the woods in the form of an owl and the lawmen wonder if he will reappear.

Cooper is set to leave Twin Peaks when he is framed for drug trafficking byJean Renaultand is suspended from the FBI. Renault holds Cooper responsible for the death of his brothers, Jacques and Bernard. Jean Renault is killed in a shootout with police, and Cooper is cleared of all charges.

Windom Earle,Cooper's former mentor and FBI partner, escapes from a mental institution and comes to Twin Peaks. Cooper had previously been having an affair with Earle's wife, Caroline, while she was under his protection as a witness to a federal crime. Earle murdered Caroline and wounded Cooper. He now engages Cooper in a twisted game ofchessduring which Earle murders someone whenever a piece is captured.

Investigating BOB's origin and whereabouts with the help of Major Garland Briggs, Cooper learns of the existence of the White Lodge and theBlack Lodge,two extra-dimensional realms whose entrances are somewhere in the woods surrounding Twin Peaks.

Catherine returns to town disguised as a Japanese businessman, having survived the mill fire, and manipulates Ben Horne into signing the Ghostwood project over to her. Andrew Packard, Josie's husband, is revealed to be still alive while Josie Packard is revealed to be the person who shot Cooper at the end of the first season. Andrew forces Josie to confront his business rival and her tormentor from Hong Kong, the sinister Thomas Eckhardt. Josie kills Eckhardt, but she mysteriously dies when Truman and Cooper try to apprehend her.

Cooper falls in love with a new arrival in town,Annie Blackburn.Earle captures the brain-damaged Leo for use as a henchman and abandons his chess game with Cooper. When Annie wins the Miss Twin Peaks contest, Earle kidnaps her and takes her to the entrance to the Black Lodge, whose power he seeks to use for himself.

Through a series of clues Cooper discovers the entrance to the Black Lodge, which turns out to be the strange, red-curtained room from his dream. He is greeted by the Man From Another Place, the Giant, and Laura Palmer, who each give Cooper cryptic messages. Searching for Annie and Earle, Cooper encountersdoppelgängersof various people, including Maddy Ferguson and Leland Palmer. Cooper finds Earle, who demands Cooper's soul in exchange for Annie's life. Cooper agrees but BOB appears and takes Earle's soul for himself. BOB then turns to Cooper, who is chased through the lodge by a doppelgänger of himself.

Outside the lodge, Andrew Packard, Pete Martell and Audrey Horne are caught in an explosion at a bank vault, a trap laid by the dead Eckhardt.

Cooper and Annie reappear in the woods, both injured. Annie is taken to the hospital but Cooper recovers in his room at the Great Northern Hotel. It becomes clear that the "Cooper" who emerged from the Lodge is in fact his doppelgänger, under BOB's control. He smashes his head into a bathroom mirror and laughs maniacally.

Development

[edit]

In the 1980s,Mark Frostworked for three years as a writer for the television police dramaHill Street Blues,which featured a large cast and extended story lines.[24]Following his success withThe Elephant Man(1980) andBlue Velvet(1986),David Lynchwas hired by aWarner Bros.executive to direct a film about the life ofMarilyn MonroenamedVenus Descending,based on the best-selling bookGoddess.Lynch recalls being "sort of interested. I loved the idea of this woman in trouble, but I didn't know if I liked it being a real story."[25]Lynch and Frost first worked together on theGoddessscreenplay, and although the project was dropped by Warner Bros., they became good friends. They went on to work as writer and director forOne Saliva Bubble,a film withSteve Martinattached to star, but it was never made either. Lynch's agent, Tony Krantz, encouraged him to do a television show. Lynch said: "Tony I don't want to do a TV show."[26]He took Lynch to Nibblers restaurant in Los Angeles and said: "You should do a show about real life in America—your vision of America the same way you demonstrated it inBlue Velvet."Lynch got an" idea of a small-town thing ", and though he and Frost were not keen on it, they decided to humor Krantz. Frost wanted to tell" a sort of Dickensian story about multiple lives in a contained area that could sort of go perpetually ". Originally, the show was to be titledNorth Dakotaand set in thePlains regionofNorth Dakota.[27]

After Frost, Krantz, and Lynch rented a screening room inBeverly Hillsand screenedPeyton Place,they decided to develop the town before its inhabitants.[24][28]Due to the lack of forests and mountains in North Dakota, the title was changed fromNorth DakotatoNorthwest Passage(the title of the pilot episode), and the location to the Pacific Northwest, specifically Washington.[27][28]They then drew a map and decided that there would be a lumber mill in the town.[24]Then they came up with an image of a body washing up on the shore of a lake.[24][29]Lynch remembers: "We knew where everything was located and that helped us determine the prevailing atmosphere and what might happen there."[29]Frost remembers that he and Lynch came up with the notion of the girl next door leading a "desperate double life" that would end in murder.[28]The idea was inspired, in part, by the unsolved 1908 murder of Hazel Irene Drew inSand Lake, New York.[30]

Lynch and Frost pitched the idea toABCduring the1988 Writers Guild of America strike[31]in a ten-minute meeting with the network's drama head, Chad Hoffman, with nothing more than this image and a concept.[29]According to the director, the mystery of who killed Laura Palmer was initially going to be in the foreground, but would recede gradually as viewers got to know the other townsfolk and the problems they were having.[29]Lynch and Frost wanted to mix a police investigation with a soap opera.[29]ABC liked the idea and asked Lynch and Frost to write a screenplay for the pilot episode. They had been talking about the project for three months and wrote the screenplay in 10 days.[32]Frost wrote more verbal characters, like Benjamin Horne, while Lynch was responsible for Agent Cooper. According to the director, "He says a lot of the things I say."[24]

ABC Entertainment President Brandon Stoddard ordered the two-hour pilot for a possiblefall 1989 series.He left the position in March 1989 as Lynch went into production.[33]They filmed the pilot for $4 million with an agreement with ABC that they would shoot an additional "ending" to it so that it could be sold directly to video in Europe as afeature filmif the TV show was not picked up.[28]ABC'sBob Igerand his creative team took over, saw thedailies,and met with Frost and Lynch to get thearcof the stories and characters.[33]Although Iger liked the pilot, he had difficulty persuading the rest of the network executives. Iger suggested showing it to a more diverse, younger group, who liked it, and the executive subsequently convinced ABC to buy seven episodes at $1.1 million apiece.[31]Some executives figured that the show would never get on the air or that it might run as a seven-hour mini-series,[34]but Iger planned to schedule it for the spring. The final showdown occurred during a bi-coastal conference call between Iger and a room full of New York executives; Iger won, andTwin Peakswas on the air.[29]

Each episode took a week to shoot, and after directing the second episode, Lynch went off to completeWild at Heart,while Frost wrote the remaining segments.[33]Standards and Practiceshad a problem with only one scene from the first season: an extreme close-up in the pilot of Cooper's hand as he slid tweezers under Laura's fingernail and removed a tiny "R". They wanted the scene to be shorter because it made them uncomfortable, but Frost and Lynch refused, and the scene remained.[33]

Casting

[edit]
Veteran film actressPiper Laurie(pictured here in 1990) helped cement theTwin Peakscast.

Twin Peaksfeatures members of a loose ensemble of Lynch's favorite character actors, includingJack Nance,Kyle MacLachlan,Grace Zabriskie,andEverett McGill.Isabella Rossellini,who had worked with Lynch onBlue Velvet,was originally cast as Giovanna Packard, but she dropped out of the production before shooting began on the pilot episode.[35]The character was then reconceived asJosie Packard,ofChineseethnicity, and the role given to actressJoan Chen.[36]The cast includes several actors who had risen to fame in the 1950s and 1960s, including 1950s film starsRichard Beymer,Piper Laurie,andRuss Tamblyn.Other veteran actors included British actorJames Booth(Zulu), formerThe Mod SquadstarPeggy Lipton,andMichael Ontkean,who co-starred in the 1970s crime dramaThe Rookies.Kyle MacLachlan was cast asAgent Dale Cooper.Stage actorWarren Frostwas cast as Dr. Will Hayward.

Due to budget constraints, Lynch intended to cast a local girl fromSeattleas Laura Palmer, reportedly "just to play a dead girl".[25]The local girl ended up being Sheryl Lee. Lynch stated: "But no one—not Mark, me, anyone—had any idea that she could act, or that she was going to be so powerful just being dead."[25]And then, while Lynch shot the home movie that James takes of Donna and Laura, he realized that Lee had something special. "She did do another scene—the video with Donna on the picnic—and it was that scene that did it."[25]As a result, Sheryl Lee became a semi-regular addition to the cast, appearing inflashbacksas Laura, and portraying another, recurring character:Maddy Ferguson,Laura's similar-looking cousin.

The character of Phillip Gerard's appearance in the pilot episode was originally intended to be only a "kind of homage toThe Fugitive.The only thing he was gonna do was be in this elevator and walk out ", according to David Lynch.[25]However, when Lynch wrote the "Fire walk with me" speech, he imaginedAl Strobel,who played Gerard, reciting it in the basement of the Twin Peaks hospital—a scene that appeared in the European version of the pilot episode, and surfaced later in Agent Cooper's dream sequence. Gerard's full name, Phillip Michael Gerard, is also a reference to Lieutenant Phillip Gerard, a character inThe Fugitive.

Lynch metMichael J. Andersonin 1987. After seeing him in a short film, Lynch wanted to cast the actor in the title role inRonnie Rocket,but that project failed to get made.

Richard Beymer was cast asBen Hornebecause he had known Johanna Ray, Lynch's casting director. Lynch was familiar with Beymer's work in the 1961 filmWest Side Storyand was surprised that Beymer was available for the role.[37]

Set dresserFrank Silvawas cast as the mysterious "Bob." Lynch himself recalls that the idea originated when he overheard Silva moving furniture around in the bedroom set, and then heard a woman warning Silva not to block himself in by moving furniture in front of the door. Lynch was struck with an image of Silva in the room. When he learned that Silva was an actor, he filmed two panning shots, one with Silva at the base of the bed, and one without; he did not yet know how he would use this material. Later that day, during the filming of Sarah Palmer having a vision, the camera operator told Lynch that the shot was ruined because "Frank [Silva] was reflected in the mirror." Lynch comments: "Things like this happen and make you start dreaming. And one thing leads to another, and if you let it, a whole other thing opens up."[38]Lynch used the panning shot of Silva in the bedroom, and the shot featuring Silva's reflection, in the closing scenes of the European version of the pilot episode. Silva's reflection in the mirror can also be glimpsed during the scene of Sarah's vision at the end of the original pilot, but it is less clear. A close-up of Silva in the bedroom later became a significant image in episodes of the TV series.[39]

Music

The score forTwin Peakshas received acclaim;The Guardianwrote that it "still marks the summit of TV soundtracks".[9]In fall 1989, composerAngelo Badalamentiand Lynch created the score for the show. In 20 minutes they produced the signature theme for the series. Badalamenti called it the "Love Theme from Twin Peaks". Lynch told him: "You just wrote 75% of the score. It's the mood of the whole piece. It isTwin Peaks."[40]While creating the score, Lynch often described the moods or emotions he wanted the music to evoke, and Badalamenti began to play the piano. In the scenes dominated by young men, they are accompanied by music that Badalamenti called Cool Jazz. The characters' masculinity was enhanced by finger-snapping, "cocktail-lounge electric piano, pulsing bass, and lightly brushed percussion."[40]A handful of the motifs were borrowed from theJulee CruisealbumFloating into the Night,which was written in large part by Badalamenti and Lynch and was released in 1989. This album also serves as the soundtrack to another Lynch project,Industrial Symphony No. 1,a live Cruise performance also featuringMichael J. Anderson( "The Man from Another Place").

An instrumental version of the song "Falling"became the theme to the show, and the songs"Rockin' Back Inside My Heart,""The Nightingale, "" The World Spins, "and" Into the Night "(found in their full versions on the album) were all, except the last, used as Cruise's roadhouse performances during the show's run. The lyrics for all five songs were written by Lynch.[41]A second volume of the soundtrack was released on October 30, 2007, to coincide with the Definitive Gold Box DVD set.[42]

In March 2011, Lynch began releasingThe Twin Peaks Archive– a collection of previously unavailable tracks from the series and the film via his website.[43][44]As of February 8, 2024, the site is no longer active and it appears there is no way to legally obtain the bundle of all files previously offered for sale.

Filming locations

[edit]
Snoqualmie Fallsin June 2008

FBI Special Agent Dale Cooperstates, in the pilot episode, that Twin Peaks is "five miles south of the Canadian border, and twelve miles west of the state line." This places it in theSalmo-Priest Wilderness.Lynch and Frost started their location search inSnoqualmie, Washington,on the recommendation of a friend of Frost. They found all of the locations that they had written into the pilot episode.[28]The towns of Snoqualmie,North BendandFall City– which became the primary filming locations for stockTwin Peaksexterior footage – are about an hour's drive from the town ofRoslyn, Washington,the town used for the seriesNorthern Exposure.Many exterior scenes were filmed in wooded areas ofMalibu, California.[36]Most of the interior scenes were shot on standing sets in aSan Fernando Valleywarehouse.

The soap opera show-within-the-showInvitation to Lovewas not shot on a studio set, but in theEnnis House,an architectural landmark designed byFrank Lloyd Wrightin the Hollywood area of Los Angeles.[45]

Filming

[edit]

Mark Frost and David Lynch made use of repeating and sometimes mysterious motifs such as trees (especially fir and pines),coffee and doughnuts,cherry pie, owls, logs, ducks, water, fire — and numerous embedded references to other films and TV shows.[46]

During the filming of the scene in which Cooper first examines Laura's body, a malfunctioning fluorescent lamp above the table flickered constantly, but Lynch decided not to replace it, since he liked the disconcerting effect that it created.[36]

Cooper's dream at the end of the third episode, which became a driving plot point in the series's first season and ultimately held the key to the identity of Laura's murderer, was never scripted. The idea came to Lynch one afternoon after touching the side of a hot car left out in the sun: "I was leaning against a car—the front of me was leaning against this very warm car. My hands were on the roof and the metal was very hot. The Red Room scene leapt into my mind. 'Little Mike' was there, and he was speaking backwards... For the rest of the night I thought only about The Red Room."[25]The footage was originally shot along with the pilot, to be used as the conclusion were it to be released as a feature film. When the series was picked up, Lynch decided to incorporate some of the footage; in the fourth episode, Cooper, narrating the dream, outlines the shot footage which Lynch did not incorporate, such as Mike shooting Bob and the fact that he is 25 years older when he meets Laura Palmer's spirit.

In an attempt to avoid cancellation, the idea of a Cooper possessed by Bob came up and was included in the final episode, but the series was cancelled even before the episode was aired.[47]

Response

[edit]

Before the one-and-a-half-hour pilot premiered on TV, a screening was held at the Museum of Broadcasting in Hollywood.[48]Media analyst and advertising executive Paul Schulman said: "I don't think it has a chance of succeeding. It is not commercial, it is radically different from what we as viewers are accustomed to seeing, there's no one in the show to root for."[48]The show's Thursday night time slot had not been a good one for soap operas, as bothDynastyand its short-lived spin-offThe Colbysdid poorly.[48]Twin Peakswas also up against the hugely successful sitcomCheers.

Initially, the show received a positive response from TV critics.Tom Shales,inThe Washington Post,wrote: "Twin Peaksdisorients you in ways that small-screen productions seldom attempt. It's a pleasurable sensation, the floor dropping out and leaving one dangling. "[49]InThe New York Times,John J. O'Connor wrote: "Twin Peaksis not a send-up of the form. Mr. Lynch clearly savors the standard ingredients... but then the director adds his own peculiar touches, small passing details that suddenly, and often hilariously, thrust the commonplace out of kilter. "[50]Entertainment Weeklygave the show an "A+" rating, and Ken Tucker wrote: "Plot is irrelevant; moments are everything. Lynch and Frost have mastered a way to make a weekly series endlessly interesting."[51]Richard ZoglininTimemagazine said that it "may be the most hauntingly original work ever done for American TV".[52]

The two-hour pilot was the highest-rated movie for the 1989–90 season with a 22 rating and was viewed by 33% of the audience.[53]In its first broadcast as a regular one-hour drama series,Twin Peaksscored ABC's highest ratings in four years in its 9:00 pm Thursday time slot.[54]The show also reduced NBC'sCheers's ratings.Twin Peakshad a 16.2 rating, with each point equaling 921,000 homes with TVs.[54]The episode also added new viewers because of what ABC's senior vice-president of research, Alan Wurtzel, called "the water cooler syndrome", in which people talk about the series the next day at work.[54]

But the show's third episode lost 14% of the audience that had tuned in a week before.[55]That audience had dropped 30% from the show's first appearance on Thursday night. This was a result of competing againstCheers,which appealed to the same demographic that watchedTwin Peaks.A production executive from the show spoke of being frustrated with the network's scheduling of the show. "The show is being banged around on Thursday night. If ABC had put it on Wednesday night it could have built on its initial success. ABC has put the show at risk."[55]

In response, the network aired the first-season finale on a Wednesday night at 10:00 pm instead of its usual 9:00 pm Thursday slot.[56]The show achieved its best ratings since its third week on the air with a 12.6 and a 22 share of the audience.[57]On May 22, 1990, it was announced thatTwin Peakswould be renewed for a second season.[58]

During the first and second season, the search for Laura Palmer's killer served as the engine for the plot and captured the public's imagination, although the creators admitted that this was largely aMacGuffin;each episode was really about the interactions between the townsfolk.[31]The unique (and often bizarre) personalities of each citizen formed a web of minutiae that ran contrary to the town's quaint appearance. Adding to the surreal atmosphere was the recurrence of Dale Cooper's dreams, in which the FBI agent is given clues to Laura's murder in a supernatural realm that may or may not be of his imagination. The first season contained only eight episodes (including the two-hour pilot episode). It was considered technically and artistically revolutionary for television at the time and geared toward reaching the standards of film.[59]

Critics have noted thatTwin Peaksbegan the trend of accomplishedcinematographynow commonplace in today's television dramas.[60]Lynch and Frost maintained tight control over the first season and served asshowrunners,handpicking all of the directors, including some whom Lynch had known from his days at theAmerican Film Institute(e.g.,Caleb DeschanelandTim Hunter) and some referred to him by those he knew personally. Lynch and Frost's control lessened in the second season as the two became less involved with the series, corresponding with what is generally regarded as a decrease in the show's quality once the identity of Laura Palmer's murderer was revealed. While Frost and Lynch technically remained showrunners after "Episode 14," the episode in which the killer's identity was revealed, Lynch had little creative control over the direction of the series from that point forward other than the season finale; Frost became less involved after "Episode 16" and became more involved again with "Episode 26" onwards. After "Episode 14," series producers Harley Peyton andRobert Engelsserved as additional showrunners along with Frost and Lynch.

The aforementioned "water cooler effect" put pressure on the show's creators to solve the mystery. Although they claimed to have known from the series' inception the identity of Laura's murderer,[36]Lynch never wanted to solve the murder, while Frost felt that they had an obligation to the audience to solve it. This created tension between the two men.[28]

Its ambitious style, paranormal undertones, and engaging murder mystery madeTwin Peaksan unexpected hit. Its characters, particularly MacLachlan's Dale Cooper, were unorthodox for a supposed crime drama, as was Cooper's method of interpreting his dreams to solve the crime. During its first season, the show's popularity reached its zenith, and elements of the program seeped into mainstream popular culture, prompting parodies, including one inthe 16th-season premiere ofSaturday Night Live,hosted by MacLachlan.[61]

Declining ratings

[edit]
As the series' ratings started to decline, the producers addedHeather Graham(seen here in 2011) to the cast.

With the resolution ofTwin Peaks'main drawing point (Laura Palmer's murder) in the middle of the second season, and with subsequent story lines becoming more obscure and drawn out, public interest began to wane. This discontent, coupled with ABC changing its timeslot on a number of occasions, led to a huge drop in the show'sratingsafter being one of the most watched television programs in the United States in 1990. Due to theGulf War,Twin Peakswas moved from its usual time slot "for six weeks out of eight" in early 1991, according to Frost, preventing the show from maintaining audience interest.[75]A week after the season's 15th episode placed 85th in the ratings out of 89 shows, ABC putTwin Peakson indefinitehiatus,[76]a move that usually leads to cancellation.[77]

An organized letter-writing campaign, dubbed COOP (Citizens Opposed to the Offing ofPeaks), attempted to save the show from cancellation.[78]The campaign was partly successful, as the season returned to airing on Thursday nights for four weeks from late March. The series then went on another hiatus, before the final two episodes of the season aired back-to-back on June 10.

According to Frost, the main storyline after the resolution of Laura Palmer's murder was planned to be the second strongest element from the first season that audiences responded to: the relationship between Agent Cooper and Audrey Horne. Frost explained that Lara Flynn Boyle, who was romantically involved with Kyle MacLachlan at the time, had effectively vetoed the Audrey–Cooper relationship, forcing the writers to come up with alternative storylines to fill the gap.[79][80]Sherilyn Fenn corroborated this claim in a 2014 interview, stating: "[Boyle] was mad that my character was getting more attention, so then Kyle started saying that his character shouldn't be with my character because it doesn't look good, 'cause I'm too young... I was not happy about it. It was stupid."[81]This meant the artificial extension of secondary storylines, such as James Hurley and Evelyn Marsh, to fill in the space. After ratings began to decline, Agent Cooper was given a new love interest,Annie Blackburn(Heather Graham), to replace the writers' intended romance between him and Audrey Horne.[82][83]Despite ending on a deliberate audience-baiting cliffhanger, the series finale did not sufficiently boost interest, and the show was not renewed for a third season, leaving the cliffhanger unresolved.

Lynch expressed his regret at having resolved the Laura Palmer murder, saying that he and Frost had never intended for the series to answer the question and that doing so "killed the goose that laid the golden eggs." Lynch blamed network pressure for the decision to resolve the Palmer storyline prematurely.[84]Frost agreed, noting that people at the network had wanted the killer to be revealed by the end of season one.[85]Their statements were further corroborated by former ABC executiveBob Igerin his 2019 memoir,The Ride of a Lifetime,where he wrote that after ABC pushed for the killer to be revealed prematurely, there was an immediate decrease in the show's quality.[86][87]

Looking back, Frost has admitted that he wished he and Lynch had "worked out a smoother transition" between storylines and that the Laura Palmer story was a "tough act to follow".[34]Regarding the second season, Frost felt that "perhaps the storytelling wasn't quite as taut or as fraught with emotion."[34]

Influence

[edit]

While the series is not usually described asscience fiction,it has been noted to have been influential on that genre.[88]

In 2018, the mayors of Snoqualmie and North Bend, which were both used for filming the series, declared Twin Peaks Day to be held on February 24. That was in recognition of the date mentioned in the first episode of the series.[89][90]

Television industry

[edit]

Writing forThe Atlanticin 2016, Mike Mariani wrote that "It would be tough to look at the roster of television shows any given season without finding several that owe a creative debt toTwin Peaks,"stating that" Lynch's manipulation of theuncanny,his surreal non-sequiturs, hisblack humor,and his trademark ominous tracking shots can be felt in a variety of contemporary hit shows. "[91]

In an interview celebratingTwin Peaks: The Return,David Chase,the creator ofThe Sopranos,stated that "Anybody making one-hour drama[s] today who says he wasn’t influenced by David Lynch is lying."[92]In 2010, the television seriesPsychpaid tribute to the series by reuniting some of the cast in the fifth-season episode "Dual Spires."[93][94]Carlton Cuse,creator ofBates Motel,citedTwin Peaksas a key inspiration for his series, stating, "We pretty much ripped offTwin Peaks,"whileRoberto Aguirre-Sacasa,the creator ofRiverdale,remarked that "all roads onRiverdalelead back toTwin Peaks"given its thematic similarities.[95][96]The TV seriesAtlantahas been cited by its creator,Donald Glover,as being inspired by the show, labeling it as "Twin Peakswith rappers. "[97]Additionally, the animated seriesGravity Fallsrepeatedly referenced the Black Lodge along with other elements ofTwin Peaksthroughout its run.[98]Critics have also noted similarities and borrowed elements from Lynch'sFire Walk with MeandTwin PeaksinVeena Sud's American adaptation ofThe Killing.[99][100]

Music

[edit]

The show's score, helmed by Angelo Badalamenti, Julee Cruise, and David Lynch, was a notable influence for many genres of music, specificallydream pop.Cruise's compositions inspired the likes ofLana Del Reyand the score of the show was a direct inspiration for dream pop duoBeach House,who have a history of paying homage to the show.[101][102]The show's legacy of honoring dream pop and indie rock compositions is observed inTwin Peaks: The Returnwith its inclusion of performances from contemporaries such asSharon Van Etten,Nine Inch Nails,andThe Veils.[103]

Bands likeBastillehave penned songs in honor of the show like "Laura Palmer,"which was influenced by the" slightly weird, eerie "atmosphere of the show.[104]Xiu Xiucompleted and released a 2017 tribute album titled "Plays the Music of Twin Peaks,"where they performed several tracks from the show's main soundtrack and leaned into a more experimental sound.[105]

Video games

[edit]

Twin Peaksserved as an inspiration for the 1993 video gameThe Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening,with directorTakashi Tezukaciting the series as the main factor for the creation of the "suspicious" characters that populate the game, as well as the mystery elements of the story.[106]

The show has also influenced a number ofsurvival horrorandpsychological thrillervideo games—most notablyAlan Wake,[107]Deadly Premonition,[108]Silent Hill,[109]Max Payne,[110]andLife Is Strange.[111]The 1998open worldadventure video gameMizzurna Fallswas reminiscent and an homage toTwin Peaks.[112]In development is also a fan-made game titledTwin Peaks: Into The Night.[113]

Representation

[edit]

LGBT community

[edit]

Denise Bryson (David Duchovny) is a transgender FBI agent who is introduced in season two. When she is reintroduced to audiences inTwin Peaks: The Return,she has a conversation where Gordon Cole (David Lynch) informs Bryson that he told her transphobic colleagues to "fix their hearts or die."[114]Over the years, this quote has been co-opted by the LGBT+ community, particularly those in the trans community, with Bryson becoming a cult icon for transgender women.[115][116]

Race

[edit]

Through the run ofTwin Peaks,there is a limited cast of characters of color. Frank Guan ofVulturestated that "Lynch's focus on archetypes and myths necessarily ties him to stereotype," specifically referring to the treatment of Black and Asian characters within Lynch's collected work.[117]InTwin Peaks,Josie Packard (Joan Chen) is a Chinese-American character from the original show's run who suddenly dropped dead and transformed into a doorknob,[118]and was written inThe Secret Diary of Laura Palmerto have made sexual advances on the underage Laura.[119][120]Yellowfaceis also present in season two with Catherine Martell (Piper Laurie) masquerading as a Japanese businessman named Mr. Tojamura for several episodes.[121]The secret of Laurie's true "identity" of being Mr. Tojamura was a closely kept secret between her and Lynch on set.[122]Deputy Hawk (Michael Horse) is a Native American deputy who functioned to be a "generic Native American tasked with ameliorating settler guilt" through cryptic dialogue.[123]

Future

[edit]

SinceThe Returnended in 2017, Lynch and Frost have expressed interest in making another season ofTwin Peaks.[124][125]Lynch has been asked in several interviews if he would continue, once saying "I don't know, I have a box of ideas, and I'm working with producerSabrina S. Sutherland,kind of trying to go through and see if there's any gold in those boxes. "[126]

Lynch also said one more story was "calling to him" involving the character of Carrie Page.[127]In a RedditAMAon June 22, 2020, star Kyle MacLachlan said Cooper was his "favorite role of all time" and that he would "absolutely" return to another season "without even seeing the script".[128]

DirectorDavid Lynchand most of the television cast returned for the film, with the notable exceptions ofLara Flynn Boyle,who declined to return as Laura's best friendDonna Haywardand was replaced byMoira Kelly,and Sherilyn Fenn due to scheduling conflicts.
