Steven and I have spent plenty of time tracking the unique kitchenware used in Twin Peaks, like the airbrushed Syracuse china from the Blue Pine Lodge and the vintage Fire-King mugs at the Sheriff station. However, an unassuming white mug that appears in the Great Northern’s dining hall might be one of the show’s most…
On this Sunday afternoon, I am sad to report on the loss of another Twin Peaks actor who had a brief role two episodes from season two. Clarence Williams III, who played Special Agent Roger Hardy, passed due to colon cancer on June 4 at the age of 81. Here is my Love Letter to a…
After all these years of being a Twin Peaks fan, there are certain images stick out in my mind. In particular, I remember many scenes with James Marshall as Laura Palmer’s secret boyfriend, James Hurley. While some have joked about his role, he really does give an emotionally-charged and powerful performance in all three seasons plus Twin…
When I say “THOSE” Season 2 episodes of Twin Peaks, you know immediately what I’m referencing. Once Episode 2009 effectively closed the Laura Palmer story, the writers focused on other happenings (and mysteries) in this small Pacific Northwest town. Episodes 2010-2015 included a number of storylines – Ben Horne’s mental struggle, Dick Tremayne’s attempts at fatherhood,…
By far, one of the best dressed characters in Twin Peaks is Richard “Dick” Tremayne, who is played by Scottish actor Ian Buchanan. Tremayne appears in eleven episodes throughout Season 2, beginning with Episode 2.003 and ending with Episode 2.021. Ian celebrates his birthday on June 16, so I thought today is a perfect time…
Continuing my look at the costumes worn by actors in Twin Peaks, this Costuming Peaks article focuses on Audrey Horne (played by Sherilyn Fenn). Audrey’s outfits, much like her character, matures throughout Season 2.
“When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.” – The Log Lady, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Fire plays a critical role in Twin Peaks. Originally, I planned on writing about…
I was asked by Jill Watson, a fellow Bookhouse Gal, on Twitter about the tall tree painting in the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department. It’s a topic that has been on my list of things to cover on Twin Peaks Blog as you know how I like to obsess over these little details. As it turns…
“And, uh, what can we add to the menu? Some specials, maybe?” Upon hearing M.T. Wentz is coming to town in Twin Peaks episode 2.004, Hank Jennings asks Norma Jennings what items can they add to the menu as he plans to trick the Double R Diner out like “Christmas on the Fourth of July.”…
In Episode 1.002 of Twin Peaks, Audrey Horne tells Donna Hayward at the Double R Diner that “Agent Cooper loves coffee.” Fueled by multiple cups of coffee on National Coffee Day 2018, I spent all day examining just how much Cooper enjoys a cup o’ joe that is “black as midnight on a moonless night.”
