History Fridge / TwinPeaks

** Cooper's techniques also ''[[SubvertedTrope don't work]]''. He's no closer to finding out who Sarah Palmer's killer is after the majority of the series than when he started. Cooper is a BunnyEarsLawyer of the highest order but his biggest successes in the series come from his actual detective work. One might argue he does throwing rocks and investigating dreams because, [[{{Pun}} well, he hasn't got a clue.]]

* The Roadhouse in Twin Peaks seems to attract some pretty big name acts for a small venue in a backwater Washington town, up to and including internationally popular artists such as Music/NineInchNails and [[Music/PearlJam Eddie Vedder]], who ordinarily sell out stadiums. However, the fact that these artists are respectively referred to as ''The'' Nine Inch Nails and Edward Louis Severson, rather than being a bit of {{Malaproper}} on the presenter's part, might be a hint that the series is happening in an alternate universe to our own. Sure, Nine Inch Nails the world-famous industrial band would probably never play at such a dump, but ''The'' Nine Inch Nails, an obscure band from LA with zero industry clout, might. Similarly, Eddie Vedder the grunge icon would be far too big to play at such a tiny venue, but Edward Louis Severson, a no-name singer-songwriter from Seattle, would be right at home there. Considering that the final episode takes place in [[spoiler: what seems to be ''our'' universe, as shown by the Palmer house being inhabited by its real life owners in the final scene]], it seems likely that the world of Twin Peaks would exhibit minor differences from our own, such as certain musical artists never getting as big as they did in real life.

* Cooper comes across Leland Palmer at the start of the season, his spirit seemingly trapped in the Black Lodge. He tells Cooper to "Find Laura". At first this just seems like his mind is so far gone he doesn't realize Laura is dead and beyond helping. But, in light of the final episode, [[spoiler: it might very well be that during the time he spent in the Black Lodge he also came to understand that it is possible to go back in time to prevent her death.[[/spoiler]]

* Mister C's rampage across the entire United States seems to strain credibility as it's very clear law enforcement agencies don't even know he exist until 25 years later and bad luck. This despite the innumerable bodies he leaves behind and the fact he has a criminal syndicate which includes everyone from rednecks to Las Vegas mobsters. [[spoiler: Then you remember Doppel Coop has all the memories of an FBI agent as well as BOB's supernatural powers as he displays in the prison. It's very easy to understand how he keeps off the radar of authories now.]]

* The [[GainaxEnding ending scene]] of the [[CliffHanger second season finale]] in its '''entirety'''. [[spoiler:The real, good Coop is trapped in the Black Lodge while [[GrandTheftMe his body has been hijacked by BOB]], whom need we remind you, is a demonic rapist serial killer that forced his last host to torment and murder his own daughter!]] Until the new season comes out, we have no clue what horrors went down during those 25 years. To make matters worse, time flows differently in the Black Lodge than in reality; [[spoiler:[[AndIMustScream it's unknown what 25 years in that place could feel like to Cooper and what it could do to him psychologically]] ]].

* ''TwinPeaks'' - I love Dale Cooper and his nutty approach to investigating the murder - throwing rocks at things and using dreams. It wasn't until I read the first comment on [[http://www.ferretbrain.com/articles/article-167 this blog post]] that I realized why he does what he does. Basically, it's all a parody of SherlockHolmes and his rational, logical ilk. They claim to use science and rationality, but everything they do is based on insight and illogical leaps that happen to be true. Cooper uses the least rational investigating techniques on Earth, and he's equally as correct. It puts a new spin on his character - maybe he's actually GenreSavvy, and knows no matter what he does everything he does will lead him closer to the killer - {{Tropers/randomfanboy}}

* Take a good, long look at the opening title screen. The outline of the misty mountain behind the Twin Peaks sign forms what looks like a woman's face, looking up. The shot is framed, from the beginning of the show, [[spoiler:to ''represent Laura looking out from inside the black lodge.'']]
