what is the explanation on how windom earle 'becomes' the log lady to steal petes truck and kidnap annie. i mean, obviously he's good at disguises, but i doubt that good. theres only on explanation i can think of, but it doesnt work out too well.

windom earle speaks through sarah palmer to cooper to tell him hes in the black lodge, so obviously when hes in there he has some kind of possessive power. but he wasnt in the lodge when he got annie cuz hes the one who brings her in there. perhaps he went in the lodge, possessed the log lady, then returned?? but hes not from the black lodge, hes human, how can he possess?

you see, ive confused myself, please help, haha.

I always owed Windom speaking through Sarah to her psychic power manifesting, as it did early in the series with the visions. But I only speak for myself.

 Windom does not become the Log Lady. A. They're wearing different dresses/glasses B. Bobby sees them at the same time C.  Kenneth Welsh looks very little like Catherine Coulson.

And hopefully this puts to rest the idea by some that Sarah says "I'm in the black lodge with Windom Earle."

Probably not, though.  :)

All you really have to do is to actually watch the episode to see that it is just Windom Earle disguised as the log lady. There are many mysteries involving possessing spirits in Twin Peaks, but this isn't one of them.

A bigger issue always struck me with regards to certain characters' attitudes in the series finale, why does no-one - particularly Norma or Shelley - seem worried about Annie after Earle kidnapped her, or even mention her?!

That god damn trailer's more popular than Uncle's Day in a whorehouse!

 I remember hearing Mike saying to Nadine something about being hit by a tree in the middle of the confusion, probably one of the fake trees from Miss Twin Peaks stage.

He said something like "God Nadine, I was so worried...seeing that sand bag hit you I just knew I would do anything for you. And then the tree hit me..."

"You know, Agent Desmond, I figure this whole office, furniture included, is worth 27,000 dollars"

Beware of BOB

When I call out no one can hear me,when I whisper he thinks the message is for him only..my little voice inside my throat,I always think there must be something that I've done or something I can do...But no one no one comes to help,he says,a little girl like you...

I don't think they forgot about Bobby being hit... It's just one of the many details related to the "upside down" quality of the last episode, how subplots that looked finished start again, how dialogues from the Pilot are repeated or how some characters behave completely unlike them...

I'm thinking in Nadine recovering, Doc Hayward going Hannibal Lecter, Heidi's scene, Sylvia's 'resurrection', etc. Mike being the one hurt when we saw Bobby getting hit is another example, the notion of Bobs and Mikes everywhere (BOB and Mike, Lydecker, Philip MICHAEL Gerard, Mike and Bobby), how they're connected, etc. and switch that, all in a purely artistical level. That's what makes ep.29 such an awesome episode... FWWM continued with that idea somehow...

Now that the discs are out and "Dale Cooper" appears in the subs, hopefully this theory will die.
