"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

I railed on Ted Raimi (Rusty Tomaski/Heavy Metal Youth) in another thread. Yeah, I think the character could've been done alot better. I see how a funny stoner/headbanger type (a la Bill and Ted or Wayne and Garth) would work in that situation, but maybe less over the top, less effeminate.

He did okay as a corpse (ie. not talking.)

Let's give an 'awwww yeah' to Willie Garson, though (the roadie who cries, making Andy cry, that Hawk consoles later.)  I really liked him in Sex and the City, too.   So adorable in Twin Peaks!!!  I wish Raimi had played it more low-key and vulnerable.

Bobby Briggs has a never ending supply of get rich quick schemes (and of course none of them pan out).

I didn't realize how HUGE Mayor Milford's ears are

"Would you like to accompany me on a nature study this afternoon?" - Cooper. This line makes all womens legs buckle.

Was Earle's elaborate plan of the 3 piece poem only to instill fear in Cooper, nothing more?

The cloaked figure from Episode 17 makes his 2nd and final appearance.

"Hey, dude, would you mind stepping inside this HUGE chess piece?" "Yeah, sure, that sounds like a great idea!"

I've always wondered what exactly Mike whispers in Bobby's ear that is so shocking concerning his dating Nadine.

"She was so very beautiful." - Truman. Harry, Harry, Harry, give it a rest already!

What happened to Annie to cause her to slit her wrists?

Another drinking game addition - every time Lucy goes "Hmmmph.."

Has anyone ever studied and deciphered the entire Owl Cave petroglyph?  I seriously may do this someday.

Of course the first (no, actually second) scene of the episode is great, and Windom's speech about the Lodges could as well be his best moment in the series,

still my favourite and most remarkable scene remains Cooper's and Wheeler's meeting in front of the fire. The two men of Audrey's, their first and only meeting, Coop doesn't even know Jack is talking about his Audrey... a magical moment of closeness between two people who share the same thing in their souls, who will never meet or talk about it again but in this very moment they are like brothers...  the warmth of the fire and the warmth of the colours... and once more the gorgeous music. Splendid scene.

There are ducks on the lake during Dale and Annie's "nature study" I suppose?

The dead chess pawn is found in the gazebo - was this place chosen because some hours ago Windom watched Annie and Cooper in the very same place or is this link accidental?

Yes, Cooper drives his car, moreover he drives it with an open window... I don't know it's still March there, late in the evening - isn't it kind of cold to be driving with open windows?

I find the wine-tasting scene genuinely funny. Theoretically belongs together with those rather stupid scenes, along with Mr Pinkle banging at the wall in Leo's "chair" or the men falling under Lana's charm at the police station, or the weasel riot. But somehow I really like it and it keeps amusing me after all these years. And now we spit!

I wonder how Cooper got the idea that it was Leo's handwriting (the poem). It doesn't seem obvious at all, does it? Once you get the idea, it's rather easy to check - but how did it come to him?

I wonder why in the Log Lady intro to this episode the Log Lady talks about Norma, and with such emphasis. Norma doesn't even appear in this episode and the pie isn't very important, either, although a couple of people order it (last but not least - Gordon Cole, THREE EACH!). It actually seems like the only Log Lady intro that in any way refers directly to the world of Twin Peaks. Who invented the pie?
