Twin Peaks Discussion: Pilot aka Northwest Passage

Hi there. Welcome to the discussion post for The Twin Peaks Pilot, the summary of which is below.

I've never led a discussion group before, online and I don't know if amonitrate, had but that's really not important. What we were thinking was that for every post here, you can create as many comments as you like about your observations, or add to aready existing comments. There is no designated leader. In that vein, neither I nor amonitrate will be using the post body to put our comments. We'll be below just like you.

ON SPOILERS: In the event that you want to jump ahead to discuss future episodes or events, we ask that you use the black on black spoiler text bars. The code for such a thing is right below in the box. All you need do is cut and paste and put your text in replacement of the TEXT HERE marker.

TWIN PEAKS: "Pilot" aka "Northwest Passage

SUMMARY: The small northwest town of Twin Peaks, Washington is shaken when the body of Laura Palmer, is discovered washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic. FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called in when Ronnette Pulaski, who attended the same high school as Palmer, is found wandering on a bridge before lapsing into a coma. Cooper believes there is a connection between Palmer's death and the death of another girl named Theresa Banks that happened a year earlier. Cooper discovers a small piece of paper with the letter "R" on it shoved under Laura's fingernail. He tells Sheriff Harry S. Truman that under Banks's nail he found a "T". Meanwhile, the Palmer family and friends struggle to come to terms with her death, and wonder how it might have come about.

Believing that this is the same killer who struck the previous year, Cooper starts an official investigation. Meanwhile, the rebellious Audrey Horne ruins a business deal for her father Benjamin Horne (Richard Beymer); Sheriff Truman arrests Palmer's boyfriend Bobby Briggs, who is secretly seeing a married woman named Shelly; Palmer's best friend Donna Hayward and Palmer's secret boyfriend James Hurley discover a mutual attraction; and Laura's mother is terrified by a vision.

Play nice, kids.
