Dale Cooper and Harry Truman Were an Awesome Duo in Twin Peaks

 


This team up is one of my favorite duos in television. Dale Cooper, an FBI agent, comes to Twin Peaks to investigate the murder of Laura Palmer. He teams up with the police department, and meets the sheriff, named Harry Truman. What I loved about Harry's character, is that he wasn't your typical egoistical sheriff that got angry with someone wanting to take over the investigation. This trope had gotten pretty annoying from so many other shows or movies I have seen. David Lynch did throw in a corrupt police department in the prequel Twin Peaks movie, and man, Harry felt like a breathe of fresh air. 

Harry is portrayed as a genuine good man, who has a huge heart, and cares about everyone in Twin Peaks. He seems thankful to have Dale Cooper take on the case, and despite all the weird stuff that happens throughout the case, such as the supernatural stuff, Harry just rolls with it. I think that he was determined to solve the case no matter what, and even though he did express doubt about the supernatural elements, he still respected Cooper. 

One scene I really enjoyed back in season 1 was when Cooper claimed he had a dream about Laura's case, and Harry went along with it, never judging Cooper, or questioning how he got this information from a dream. 

Cooper also had respect for Harry, when it came to his love interest. Harry had fallen in love with a woman who was very corrupt, and she even attempted to murder Cooper at some point. I couldn't believe how forgiving Cooper was, and his patience when it came to wanting to help his friend was so heartwarming. He eventually tells Harry that his girlfriend must be arrested, but by the time this comes around, she is murdered, breaking Harry's heart. Cooper still remained by his side, really cementing how powerful their friendship was. 

Hell, toward the end of season 2, Cooper had to go into the Red Room to save his love interest, Annie. Harry was obviously terrified of this supernatural realm, but he still waited for Cooper to return, even though his face showed his fear. 

That is true friendship right there. 

While I was a little sad that the two of them never got to reunite in the third season, I'm glad that Harry's character was mentioned a lot, and it was pretty bittersweet when Cooper told Harry's brother to give him his regards. 

Cooper and Harry are my top 5 favorite duos, and it was even better that this duo came from one of the best horror shows ever made!

The Final Season of 'You' Ends on a Powerful Note

Image
  Credit to Google This article will contain major spoilers of You season 5. I am beyond thrilled with how You ended. People have always been mixed on what they think of this show, but I have always loved the insanity of this crazy serial killer.  Joe Goldberg is such a complex character who thrives on the power of love and is willing to do whatever it takes for the next woman he falls for.  He never hesitates to murder anyone, including his love interest. If she stops loving him, he will not hesitate to murder her. That is the main reason why Joe is freaking scary. He will be your knight in shining armor, but once that image of love is taken from him, he will show his true nature.  I loved how the final season focused on Joe’s evil self. While the first four seasons purposely viewed his character sort of like an antihero, the final season does not hold back on Joe’s evil side. We get a new glimpse into his character this time around, because in the earlier seasons,...

Pearl is a Wicked and Horrific Start to a Memorable Horror Trilogy

Image
  Credit to  Halloween Horror: Pearl (2022) — 3 Brothers Film Have you ever been so impressed by and scared of a character at the same time? Mia Goth pulls off such a likable character with terrifying tendencies of murder and mayhem. Pearl  is actually a prequel to one of my favorite horror films,  X , and is the middle chapter in a trilogy. This trilogy was directed by Ti West, and it featured Mia Goth playing two different characters, as both the antagonist and the protagonist in this trilogy. The prequel starts off Mia as the villain, Pearl. Unlike the protagonist, Maxine, that has her dreams come true, Pearl isn’t exactly given the same happy ending. If it hadn’t been for her killer self, maybe she would have had a chance in the ‘star world.’ Instead, we are given a total downfall of Pearl embracing her monstrous side, killing anyone that stands in her way. Pearl is determined to leave the farm and start a new life elsewhere, but her present life consumes her. I’...

“The Painter” is the Most Controversial Analog Horror Ever Created

Image
  Credit to https://www.youtube.com/@urbanspook “The Painter” was created by a YouTube content creator, called UrbanSPOOK. This creator is known for a fictional crime spree of two serial killers; depicting very unsettling and horrendous violent acts against their victims. The story does have its fair share of fans, but only very few can handle this type of heavy content. What makes this specific analog horror so terrifying, is that this type of horror can happen in real life. Serial killers have existed for decades, an unfortunate and sad fact that these monsters hiding beneath human skin walk among us. These fictional killers and their crimes are sick, extremely sick, I struggled to watch the content the first time I was introduced to the series. It follows a stranger the viewer is not yet aware of, who finds VHS tapes and plays them. The story plays out with authorities struggling to catch two serial killers; leaving behind paintings of their victims; like a sick parody of what w...
