I pretty much love every scene with Major Garland Briggs (played by Don Davis). He delivers some of the most memorable Twin Peaks quotes from the first two seasons. For this Quotable Peaks article, I examine a brief exchange in Episode 2.020 between Windom Earle (played by Kenneth Welsh) and a drugged-up Major Briggs.
After a tip from Annie Blackburn at the Double R Diner, Special Agent Dale Cooper and the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Department descend into a cool, subterranean cave in episodes 2.018 and 2.019.

This article is another one of those journeys as I take a closer look at the Dale Cooper’s nightstands in Room 315 at The Great Northern Hotel. The nightstand appears in Seasons 1 and 2 and return…
During my explorations into the film location for Twin Peaks, there are certain scenes and spots that I’ve understood I may never find. One of those spots was a transition scene of a river used in seasons 1 and 2. I figured it was shot in Washington State, but I never thought I’d actually locate the…
