Last year was my first time participating in Record Store Day. I had a good reason to go – multiple soundtracks to Twin Peaks on Showtime were released on picture disc vinyl. At the time, I thought my day long adventure would be a one-of-a-kind experience until I saw a tweet from @TwinPeaksBook on February 28, 2019….
I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve watched Twin Peaks. Even being a fan since 1993, I continue finding things I’ve never noticed. This prop identification article is the latest example. I started with looking for the paintings seen behind Nadine Hurley as she breaks through the bedroom door in episode 2.015. I ended up…
Throughout Twin Peaks, Special Agent Dale Cooper shares his fascination about the country of Tibet. He shares the history of Tibet in Episode 1.002 while preparing to throw rocks at bottles.

In the world of Twin Peaks, it’s a great day to celebrate one of the iconic food staples seen throughout the series – pie. From Norma’s “best-in-the-tri-counties” cherry pie at the Double…
With Daylight Saving Time beginning in the United States today, I’ve spent most of the day checking my watch. This got me thinking about the number of times characters from Twin Peaks checked their watches. Like Agent Sam Stanley said, “It’s really early.” Or is it really late?
One thing I remember from my original viewing of Twin Peaks in the early 1990s was the unexpected long shots of things like trees, traffic lights, and the ceiling fan at the Palmer house. Prior to Twin Peaks, I hadn’t seen these kinds of shots in a television show. These lingering images added a sense of…
The Vacant Peaks series explores places and scenes in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks without people. In this second article of a multi-part series exploring the Palmer house, I examine the second season episodes including 2.001, 2.003, 2.007, 2.008, 2.009, and 2.010. After episode 2.010, the Palmer homestead is not shown again until…
To celebrate Twin Peaks Day 2019, here is a Love Letter to all the photos of Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks.
