I find that TP has become more creepifying to me over the years, rather than
less. Maybe it's because I grasp the implications more? I dunno.

I scoured the internet looking for speculation about what Josie's death meant, especially her face in the knob at the Great Northern. Thoughts?

oh man, I've never figured that one out. I think I remember reading some speculation somewheres years ago, but I don't remember what it was. probably something to do with fear. and maybe the log lady's log. Since there was speculation her husband lived in the log. or something. christ.

The computer animation hasn't aged well, but it's surprising that's pretty much the only thing that aged badly.

Yeah, it was something like fear killed her or trapped her spirit in the black lodge? because bob showed up? I dunno. I was equally unsuccessful finding out shit about mulhulland falls.

I always thought that the fright and fear and agony of everything were so much that her soul literally left her body and got stuck in the wood of the Great Northern. That's what killed her.

Her death helped give Cooper a clue, but yeah, I think that there is more to it then that. I wonder if we had a couple more years of the show what else we might have understood by Josie's death.

On of the things that fascinated me about the show was to what extent people did or did not have choice or power over their lives. As far as I can see the only thing Josie ever did of her own free will was love Truman. It makes me feel so very sad for her. I can't really comment on Leland leading up to Laura's death (still working myself up to it...the DVD continues to sit at my desk).

Re: Ben Horne. I found him his foodie tendencies to be a dark reflection of Cooper's own tendencies for a damn good cup of coffee and excellent cherry pies. With Cooper it was contained (to only those two foods) and displayed as cute and social. When Ben Horne eats, well it is anything and he'll bite into things in ways either crude (phallic) or rude (like that sandwich his brother brings back...where he leaves family dinner and eats without much manners). They are both men of appetites, but one is a dark reflection of the other.
