1. Coop ordering grapefruit juice at breakfast - "just so long as those
grapefruits are... [sees Audrey walking towards him]... freshly squeezed."
- hubba hubba
2. Audrey: "Johnny's got emotional problems... runs in the family."
Although I doubt that they knew at this point about what Ben's antics
in the Civil War were going to be, I still like to think of this as
a good piece of foreshadowing.
3. Audrey: "Do your palms ever itch?" - ooo-er.
4. Do-nuts. Everywhere! How many deputies do you reckon Truman has altogether?
Wouldn't they get sick eating all those do-nuts every day? I assume
it was a mickey-take by Frost & Lynch about alll those cop shows where
all the cops eat do-nute on a stakeout.
5. Blood on Leo's shirt. Rhetorical question: where did the blood come
from? I'm sure we'll find out, but I'll but that means that Leo killed
Laura (and yes, I have seen the show many times before, I'm trying to
view it reasonably fresh again!)
6. James tell Coop and Truman that "something happened a couple of days
ago", with Laura. Now presumably this is the day she died. He then says
that the night Laura died, she ran away from him (when they were on
his motorbike) and that was the last he saw of her. Now, I'm confused.
Would that "something" have been the drug deal she went on with Bobby,
where Bobby shot someone? Did that happen on the day she died? Or was
James referring to something else? Later Bobby says that he saw Leo
the night Laura died. Is this when Laura was with him?
7. Cooper opens Laura's diary to where it says "February 5" and she
has written in "Day One". Day One of what? Cooper asks James what happened
on February 5, and James says he doesn't know. Seriously - what did
happen on February 5? Didn't Laura die on the 24th? What was day one?
8. First mention of The Bookhouse Boys, who are going to be watching
James' back. My thought when I first saw this episode was "the who"!?
9. You know, I'm going to start drinking coffee black (I used to when
I was a student because I couldn't afford the milk!). Just so that when
someone asks me how I take it, I can say "black as midnight on a moonless
night."!
10. How did the fish get in the perculator? Someone said when I was
posting my thoughts on this episode a few months ago that someone put
it there as a joke. Who? I can't remember. Is there anything to substantiate
this?
11. So far all we've seen of Bob is in Sarah's visions, hiding at the
end of the bed. I read here sometimes about this shot being a mistake
which Lynch decided to use. Sometimes people mention a shot where Bob
is reflected in a mirror, which was another mistake that Lynch left
in. What episode (and scene?) is this one in? - I've never caught this
one before and I'd like to this time round.
12. In the hospital Hawk sees the one-armed man and follows him. Following
the signs, we know that the one-armed man must have gone either to the
morgue or the oxygen-storage room. Which one did he go to and why? I'm
just about to finish reading a novel by Brian Lumley called 'Necroscope',
and one of the main characters in that is someone who can find out the
secrets of the dead, but to cut a long story short, he has to mutilate
their bodies to do so. Watching this episode last night, I got to thinking
that maybe that's what the one-armed man was going to do. Now, I know
there's no proof for this, and it's only my thoughts spilling over onto
the show, but maybe Mike has this ability? To learn about the dead?
I'm not suggesting that Mike mutilated dead bodies here as we know that
he didn't, but maybe he went to find out more about Laura Palmer? Just
a thought, don't pay it any attention.
13. The imagery in this show always amazes me. Audrey is in a room in
the hotel (her room?), swaying to music. Ben comes in to tell her off,
but the way he comes in! Standing at the doors, with his arms outstretched,
with each hand on the edge of one of the doors (does that description
make sense?). He always remind me of Dracula when he does that.
14. I was reminded when watching this episode about one of the ways
I described the show when I watched it the first time round. I was only
a hormonal teenager at the time, and one of my friends asked me if there
were any nice-looking ladies on the show. I remember my response was
"They're all either really gorgeous or really ugly". Now before you
all start berating me here, I now realise of course, that I find the
younger ones attractive and the older ones less attractive, but you
must admit that there are a lot of good-looking women in the show. Ones
I can think of so far who have only appeared in the show up to this
episode: Audrey, Lucy, Donna, Laura, Shelley, Norma. Sorry if this makes
me very sexist (I accept that there are some good-looking men on the
show too, but it's the women who stand out more to me as I'm a guy.).
15. Bobby's dad knocking the cigarette out of his mouth at the dinner
table. Hysterical but strangely disturbing.
16. Leo is *such* a bastard. We don't see him hitting Shelley with the
soap in the sock (thank goodness) but it's still a painful scene to
watch. Why did she marry him?
17. So, who killed Laura Palmer? At this point, I thought Leo. He is
the most violent character we have seen so far. The blood is on his
shirt. What about Ben? The way he treated his daughter in this episode
was horrible. Maybe he treated Laura badly too? Jacoby - maybe. He obviously
had a weird relationship with Laura, what with the weird tapes she sent
him. Leland? At this point the thought had never crossed my mind. Bobby?
Maybe. He was her boyfriend, but maybe he got her out of the way to
make way for Shelley.
