I love the black lodge. Its really groovey....

Yes,I've noticed the same:) I think that this coincidence between what Gordon told Shelly and the statue in the main hall way in the lodge can be explained just with the subconcious working of Lynch.I don't think there are any significants.

I think the hall way is not just one,I think there were many alike hall ways,that's why we don't see the statue each time.The lodge is like a labyrinth,with a lot of rooms and hall ways,which are alike.I like the Black Lodge,too,very mysterious...confusing If I were in Coop's place I would go mad !really

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...

Check, Rocky! Those were my exact thoughs

Does one have to be impure in some way to be able to enter the black lodge...

Cooper, Annie, Earle, Leland, all have a darkness in their past involving death / suicide / murder/ rape & murder (repectively)

perhaps this is why Briggs thought he was in the white lodge...he prides himself on his purity, morality, in all realms, physical, spiritual, linguistical....

One last thought/ question. If given the chance, would you enter the black lodge and attempt to pass through, encountering your shadow self...

Perhaps this should be a new thread....What would your own personal trip through the black lodge look like, feel like,..etc.....

I think I have a mild obsession.

ps. could the great northern be a physical version of the black lodge in the real reality...like the old waiter and the giant?

he seems to carry himself with the notion that the killing was probably a part of his duty, something he is 100% committed too. He strikes me as the type who maybe even would view killing during war time as morally justified, in the name of what ever it was he was fighting for ideologically.

While others might view his wartime history of killing as immoral or wrong, he believes in his heart and mind that it is rightious and good. In my opinion that is probably the most important factor here, because it is every individual who must pass through the lodge. Briggs beleives in his heart has always done things for the greater good.

Ultimately he demonstrates his un-dying commitment is to those things which are for the "greater good". By the end of season 2 he agrees to devulge top secret info that he has swarn to protect once he realizes the air force is attempting to use the power and knowledge of the lodge for misguided intentions.....

Can anyone say for certain... when Briggsey is tripping in the Sheriff's Station, does he say "fear and love open the door" (as the Lavery episode guide states) or "fear and love open the doors" (as per the Gazette guide)?  The more I try to recall, the more it sounds in my head like it could be either one...
