Philip Jeffries is the Strangest Mystery in Twin Peaks

Image
  Credit to Does Phillip Jeffries think that’s Mr. C? : r/twinpeaks Philip Jeffries is by far the strangest character in Twin Peaks. And that’s coming from a show that is known for it’s strange characters, but Philip really takes the cake here among the main cast. He is played by David Bowie, and he portrays an FBI agent that that worked on the Blue Rose case, that apparently investigated the strange supernatural connections that were somehow linked to Laura Palmer’s death.  He appears only in one scene throughout the entire series, which is the prequel movie, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me. We watch Dale Cooper in the FBI headquarters, attempting to do something weird with the cameras inside of the building. He tells two other FBI agents, Gordon Cole and Albert, about a strange dream that he had, and it had something to do with Philip Jeffries.  Dale Cooper keeps on checking the cameras, and he eventually sees something quite eerie on the camera. He sees himself standing ...

What is the Purpose of the Red Room in Twin Peaks?

Image
  Credit to  Iconography of the Red Room | Twin Peaks Gazette The Red Room is one of the biggest mysteries in Twin Peaks. Back in the older seasons, the Red Room was seen as a huge threat. The Red Room was first introduced in Twin Peaks when Dale Cooper was first investigating the death of Laura Palmer. He finds himself in the Red Room during a dream, and then he is able to enter the Red Room in the real world in season 2. He ventures to the Red Room when he learns that a woman that he had fallen in love with had been taken to the Red Room, by a serial killer that had been hunting Cooper for a long time.  This turns out to be Dale's biggest mistake, and he is stuck in the Red Room for 25 years straight, and a doppelganger takes his place. In the new season, the Red Room no longer appears to be a threat to either Cooper or anyone else.  The Red Room comes off as a problem solver in season 3, creating doppelgangers to take the places of particular people in the real wo...

Benjamin Horne was Surprisingly Given a Proper Character Arc for the Final Season of Twin Peaks

Image
  Credit to  What's your take on Ben Horne? : r/twinpeaks Benjamin Horne was one of the biggest scumbags from the old seasons of Twin Peaks. He was the father of Audrey Horne, who was seen as a powerful businessman in Twin Peaks. He owned a hotel, and used his power and wealth to get what he wanted. He hired people to murder for him, slept with a lot of women in Twin Peaks, had a secret daughter who was actually Donna Hayward, and his poor daughter was the one who found out a of dark truths about her father when she had snuck in a secret resort to help Dale Cooper with Laura Palmer's case.  He also had slept with Laura Palmer, who was literally his daughter's age...and this was a huge problematic reveal in the show.  Audrey was obviously pissed off at her father over all of these shocking truths, and Horne began to go through a spiral of madness during his journey in season 2. Once he finally went through his 'healing process,' he vowed to change for his daughter....

I'm Happy Dougie's Family Got a Happy Ending in Twin Peaks

Image
  Credit to  Twin Peaks Film Location - The Jones House | TWIN PEAKS BLOG Dougie Jones was another doppelganger or a tulpa that was created by Mr. C, to either continue his reign of corruption, or to throw off the scent of the Black Lodge. Dale Cooper is able to escape from the Red Room, and he is teleported to the location of Dougie Jones, and he takes his place. Dale Cooper becomes the new Dougie, and his mind resorts to a childlike state, most likely due to the traumatic effects of being in the Red Room for 25 years straight.  Even though Dougie Jones was a total asshole, he had a very good family. His wife, Janey, and his son, Sonny Jim, were really good people, who unfortunately were stuck with a lot of issues, due to the bad decisions of Dougie. Somehow, Dale is able to turn things around for his new family, providing them with a better life, and even makes new friends with two dangerous men, including the insurance company that Dougie worked for.  How Dale was...

Why I'm Glad Donna Never Returned to Twin Peaks: The Return

Image
  Credit to  Pin on Twin Peaks Donna was the most annoying character in the original seasons of Twin Peaks. Donna Hayward was a high school student who shared a strong bond with Laura Palmer, and her boyfriend, James. Donna was stuck in a love triangle between James and Laura, and even after Laura's death, she was still stuck in a love triangle with James, when Laura's look alike cousin was introduced within the show.  Donna was the type of character who always wanted to take action, no matter the consequences. She got other people involved in her schemes, to figure out who had killed Laura. I understand that she was angry over the death of her best friend, but the fact that she would pull both James and Madeline in her schemes to solve Laura's murder pissed me off. She constantly put her friends in the worst situations and was sort of involved in the death of one guy named Harold Smith, who was close with Laura. Donna really felt like she had that 'main character energ...

Was Judy Responsible for the Tragic Fate of Dale Cooper?

Image
  Credit to  Lucifer Morningstar Vs Judy (Twin Peaks) - Battles - Comic Vine The one thing that I never saw coming with the final season was Sarah Palmer getting possessed. The one thing I couldn't figure out was who would want to take over her body from the Red Room or the Black Lodge, and it turned out to be one of the most powerful entities from the Black Lodge. We had witnessed her birth in episode 8 of the final season, when the entities from the Black Lodge were first created. One entity known as the Fireman headed over to a radio station to murder two people, and began to speak a poem over and over, to allow the possession of Sarah Palmer to take place. She was a young girl who unfortunately had her window open that night, not aware that a powerful entity was going to take over her body.  It all makes sense why Sarah Palmer had displayed signs of her strange abilities throughout the old seasons. I always questioned why she was born with her abilities, and how she w...

Mr. C is an Evil Mystery Within Twin Peaks

Image
  Credit to  Who Created Dougie? | Twin Peaks Gazette Mr. C is the evil doppelganger of Dale Cooper, an FBI agent who ended up stuck in the Red Room for 25 years. Mr. C takes his place in the real world, wreaking havoc upon anybody who stands in his way. Mr. C became determined to not return to the Red Room, where he would be sent back to the Black Lodge. Mr. C apparently had a time limit with staying on Earth, and he was doing whatever he could to avoid going back to his realm.  His stay on Earth during the 25-year mark was terrifying, because he hurt so many people that Dale Cooper was close to, and I can't imagine the confusion of all of these people over the years, wondering why Cooper had transformed into an evil monster. It was so scary how Mr. C came off as a soulless monster, he was truly the complete opposite of what Dale Cooper was.  Luckily, the police department back in Twin Peaks had already figured out the real truth, and due to the father of Bobby Brig...
