“It’s 7:00. Do you know where the people are in this article?”

In Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime we are introduced to Dr. Amp who is Dr. Lawrence Jacoby’s alter-ego after his medical license was revoked after the investigation of Laura Palmer. In this Vacant Peaks article, I examine the good doctor’s home in the woods and his fascination with “gold shit-digging  shovels.” Images in this article are from Parts 1, 3, 5, and 10. A similar nighttime establishing shot was used again in Part 12 so I didn’t include it.
