When I think of memorable scenes from my first viewing of the Twin Peaks pilot episode, I’m reminded of Ronette Pulaski, bruised and battered, stumbling across an old railroad bridge. It’s a haunting image that begs for answers – Who did this? How did she escape? (luckily, some answers were provided in Twin Peaks: Fire…
In Twin Peaks episode 2.009, Vivian Smythe (a.k.a. M.T. Wentz) said to her daughter Norma Jennings, “That’s not true. The menus are very presentable.” I love a good challenge. @TwinPeaksArchive gave me a heads up that the Showtime Store released a new poster that appeared to be an image from Double R Diner Menu used…
I love taking photos of signs and roadside architecture during my many travels throughout the United States. I imagine if Twin Peaks was an actual town, I would have a ball snapping images of the many iconic destinations. For this Setting the Stage article, I’ve compiled reference images for the various signs and logos created…
Music has always played an important part of my Twin Peaks obsession as the original soundtrack album was my gateway to the show in 1993. Years later, thanks to the efforts of Dean Hurley, a longtime David Lynch collaborator who operated and managed Lynch’s Asymmetrical Studio from 2005-2018, we were blessed with the release of…

One of my favorite locations in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is the FFat Trout Trailer Park in Deer Meadow. When I learned a New Fat Trout would be in Season 3 on Twin Peaks on Showtime, I was beyond excited to see what mysteries would be revealed. Granted, I don’t know why Carl…
Columbus, Ohio is the last place I thought I’d meet Ray Wise (Leland Palmer) and Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer). Born and raised in the capitol city, I fell in love with my favorite David Lynch film in the early 1990s. Imagine my delight when I learned that Studio 35 Cinema was planning a weekend of…
In Season 3 of Twin Peaks on Showtime, we return to the Fat Trout Trailer Park. This was one of my favorite locations from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, and was featured in the first article from the “Vacant Peaks” series in April 2018. Today, I’m giving the new Fat Trout the same vacant-treatment but examining…
In Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, Carl Rodd, manager of the original Fat Trout Trailer Park, delivered his famous line to Special Agents Desmond and Stanley: “I’ve already gone places. I just want to stay where I am.” At the New Fat Trout Trailer in season 3, we catch a glimpse at one of…
