Annotation value is really starting to slim down. I wonder why! Also, some boring subplots have started in 2.06, which include the Leo storyline and the Nadine one.

2.05

-Something I had never thought of before; Andy sketches Leland's backside during his trial, and we can't see his face on the drawing. Can this represent the fact that no one can see Leland's true face?

2.06

-Another Cooper thumbs-up, along with Cole's.

-FWWM Connection: Cole communicating through codes, with his "small Mexican chi-wow-wow" line.

-The Windum Earle plotline starts to kick off in this episode. 

-Mike says that only the gifted and the damned can see Bob. This supports my earlier theory that future victims of Bob have dreams and visions to increase the garmonbozia income when it's time to attack. The gifted could be referring to other Lodge spirits and people who end up becoming Lodge spirits.

-Mike says he can't reveal where Bob comes from, presumably because human beings wouldn't be able to comprehend it. I assume he can't talk about garmonbozia, either, and simply says that he's trying to stop Bob, when we all know he wants to stop Bob from stealing it. 

-Bob has been around for forty years, since Leland's childhood.

-The vessel Mike is referring to in the Great Northern Hotel is, of course, Leland, who just started working there again. Mike is able to know where Bob is, as seen here and in FWWM when he confronts him on the road.

Rewatching these last few episodes remind me of how big of a twist the Leland reveal was. He just comes from out of NOWHERE, drugging Sarah and murdering Maddy in the living room. The scenes with him dancing in episode 2.08 are amazingly filmed. I didn't compile much notes this time, but I caught what I thought were interesting details.

2.07

-Ben has owned One Eyed Jack's for five years.

-Ben loved Laura, giving his reaction in the pilot so much meaning.

-According to Laura's diary, she thought Bob was a friend of her father's. Is this some sort of denial that went on, a theme prominent in Lynch's later works?

-The Log Lady says there are owls in the warehouse. This supports the theory that lodge spirits travel thought owls, and that her husband is in her log, just like Josie in the hotel's wood. Did her husband tell her that the Giant would be making an appearance?

-FWWM Connection: Sarah sees a horse while drugged.

2.08

-Ben was with Catherine the night of Laura's death.

-Something I hadn't noticed before is that when Leland goes off to a room after Harry tells him that they've arrested Ben, the room has red drapes/curtains on all the windows, and that's the same room he dances in when Cooper leaves.

-The scene where Maddy's body is found replicates the scene where Laura's body was found. Same music, Harry saying the person's name, and the camera focusing on the face.

After episode 16, I've decided to concentrate on stuff like Briggs' disappearance, Windum Earle, the sawmill conspiracy and the lodges (not like there's anything else going on worth writing about, right right?) so I can crack any theories that will make the show much more enjoyable in retrospect, at least for me. Here are the notes for 2.09-2.13:

2.09

-Laura's Red Room dream was February 22nd.

-Bob is only afraid of Mike.

-I wrote a theory on why Ed, Briggs and Leo had to be at the Roadhouse when Cooper realized who the killer was. You can read it here: http://www.2000revue.com/community/topic.cfm?topicid=5230&from=search

-Can lodge spirits see peoples' pasts? And do vessels regain all their lost memories when the spirit leaves the body?

2.10

-A tune version of Questions in a World of Blue plays when Audrey is saying bye to Cooper.

-Caroline was a witness and Cooper wasn't ready to protect her. Windum lost his mind and ended up in the coop.

-First mention of guardian angels, which appear in FWWM.

-Fear makes the soul vulnerable, according to Briggs.

-This episode marks the first mention of the lodges.

-Theory: Briggs was taken because he was about to tell Cooper about the concept of the lodges. This points again to spirits being able to live as owls. They can hear people in the woods and they were sure to take care of the problem.

2.11

-Mrs. Briggs says Garland has disappeared before, although these were normal missions.

-The light Cooper saw is a powerful force in the woods.

-The Black Lodge is a shadow self of the White Lodge.

-One meets their shadow self in the BL, as seen in the series finale.

2.12

-FWWM Connection: Baby laxative as cocaine, from the original shooting script.

-Air Force investigating Briggs' disappearance indicates that he was not on a mission.

-The man asks about owls, once again confirming the interpretation.

-Theory: "Cooper/The owls are not what they seem" transmissions was Garland calling for help. Since time in the lodges is different from time in our world, this is why they would arrive a week or so earlier. Garland was in pilot attire, so he could have found a plane and sent those transmissions. 

-Garland seems to have bee gone for much shorter than two days. Time is different in the lodges.

2.13

-This image of space foreshadows an astrological connection to the lodges.

-People who pass the lodge test are branded with the mark. Briggs passed it because hes a military man and has been trained to cope with his dark past.

-Blue Book was an investigation of UFOs. It was disbanded in 1969. Its mission was to search for the White Lodge.

Hey Ferns, good job on your annotations thread. 

Totally random side note thought you might be interested in - there's a user on here charles that runs the site intwinpeaks.com and has a sweet map of Twin Peaks and pinpoints on the map where people live, buildings, major events and locations of where they occured, etc. and I thought you would really enjoy that too.  I printed that sucker out ( I know Charles put a lot of time and effort into it), but it is absolutely worth viewing and/or printing out for your own records, collection, etc.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

I think everyone on here would enjoy this map if they haven't already seen it (no, it's not just the Access Guide map).

"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 finished my rewatch last night, and am here to post notes on 2.14-2.22. I've managed to solve most of the mysteries using personal theories and stuff I've read online, which has provided me with a better understanding of the series. There are, however, several things I can't even begin to decipher.

2.14

-This episode first mentions the TP gazette.

-WIndum killed his wife, maybe to live independently in his search for the lodges.

-Briggs himself believes he was taken to the White Lodge. He thinks trouble is approaching.

-This episode marks the first appearance of Windum Earle.

2.15

-Windum plays Questions in a World of Blue on the flute. Not that it's important, but I just wanted to remember which episode this happened in.

2.16

-Theory: Bob appears whenever anyone dies or is very afraid. Josie was afraid of Harry knowing about her lies, afraid of going to jail, afraid of being attacked by Thomas and afraid of the truth getting out, which gave Bob a good chance to collect a fair amount of garmonbozia. Since Cooper was there, he saw Bob, whereas most victims of fear and surrounding people wouldn't be able to see him. MFAP appeared and danced as a greeting to Cooper and to make sure Bob didn't leave anything around that he could hoard later on.

He also transferred Josie's soul to the wood.

2.17

-Josie's body weighed 65 pounds because Bob took the garmonbozia, which is inside the blood, as seen in FWWM.

-Margaret disappeared for a day when she was 7. There was a bright light and the call of an owl. The last time she heard that sound was when her husband died.

-Never noticed before that Cooper is reading a book on Tibet while in the diner.

2.18

-Earle was faking his illness with the same drug Gerard was using.

-He was in Project Blue Book.

-Gordon has been hearing impaired for 20 years. I wonder what happened!

-A call-back to an earlier joke that always made me laugh: Harry asks Cooper how long he's been in love with Annie.

2.19

-The White Lodge is described as happiness and innocence. Windum's objective is to find the lodges.

-Who is the hooded figure?

2.20

-In the video, Windum claims that dugpas cultivate evil in a tangible place.

-First hand shake: lady at diner.

-Peter sees Josie in the hotel's wood.

-Second hand shake: Cooper.

-Third hand shake: Pete.

-Jupiter and Saturn's conjunction opens the lodge.

-The Giant is saying NO because Bob will eventually end up in Cooper's body if Annie partakes in Miss Twin Peaks.

2.21

-The concept of spirits feeding off fear is first mentioned in the episode, and developed in FWWM.

-Fear and love open the doors to the lodges.

-The Miss Twin Peaks contestants are wearing plastic jackets. Wrapped in plastic?

2.22

-FWWM Connection: Bloody towel and diary pages found near the sycamore trees.

-The Log Lady gets there in exactly one minute, just like Cooper says.

-Margaret's husband was investigating the lodges on his own, and probably found the oil near the grove.

-Ed is dancing and snapping like MFAP.

-Owls surround the grove. They are a surveillance system for the Red Room.

-Jimmy Scott might be one of Cooper's favorite singers, or it may just be a lodge spirit played by Jimmy Scott.

In this next section, I intend to interpret most of the lines and scenes in the Red Room sequence:

-"When you see me again..." = there will be doppelgangers.

-Red Room = waiting room.

-MFAP is grinning when he asks Cooper if he wants coffee because he knows how much he loves it.

-"Some of your friends are here" = people from Cooper's past will show up momentarily. 

-MFAP's strange leg move and Laura's snap are gestures that appear in Cooper's dream. Laura tells Cooper she'll see him in 25 years and then makes a hand sign for "sleep".

-Hallelujah = I just realized that they could be mocking Cooper's enthusiasm for coffee.

-One and the same = The Giant occupies the waiter's body.

-Rubbing of hands = magical powers, which include inducing memories and images in one's head and even freezing liquids.

-"Wow, Bob, wow" = MFAP is looking at Bob's exploits as Leland in Cooper's memories.

-Maddy tells Cooper to watch out for his cousin. I can't find a meaning for this, only that she could be alluding to the ending of FWWM.

-The doppelganger room shows "friends" in terrifying forms.

-The memory room puts test taker in tragic scenarios from their past and mixes them with good scenarios from their present, hence Annie being in the Pittsburgh debacle. 

-The lodge shows Cooper people he's loved, and then a quick change to people he's feared, such as Windum and doppelganger Laura.

-Bob rewinds time because only he can kill and take souls in the lodges. He then laughs with doppelganger Cooper because they've planned to take Cooper's body.

-Leland: "I did not kill anybody." Can't crack this one.

-Cooper has failed the test, running away due to fear. "How's Annie?" is Bob mocking the question Cooper asks in his normal state.

End

As for mysteries I can't solve:

1.  Hooded figure who takes Briggs and appears when Briggs is talking about his disappearance. Who is it?
2. Cooper's dream from episode 2. In the finale, Laura says she'll see Cooper in 25 years, yet we see them at the end of FWWM together. Are these all different Lauras? Was this just a dream induced by the actual MFAP, and shouldn't be considered part of the Red Room timeline?
3. What's up with Sarah in the last episode? Who says that through her, how, why?
