Frank Truman Was a Good Replacement for One of the Best Characters in Twin Peaks
Frank Truman was the new sheriff of Twin Peaks in the police department, taking the place of Harry Truman, one of the best characters from the old Twin Peaks. Even though I deeply missed Harry's character, and I was sad that we never got a reunion between Harry and Cooper, I found myself really liking Frank's character. He was down to earth and took action when it came to investigating Cooper's disappearance.
Just like Harry, he accepted everything that was happening, despite the strange supernatural events that were occurring in Twin Peaks. I also appreciated how David Lynch never forgot about Harry's character. During the final season, Harry was constantly mentioned by so many characters, including by Frank, who was speaking to Harry over the phone. He was battling an illness behind the scenes, and had to rest. Everyone assured him that he was going to recover, and it was so heartfelt, knowing that the police department deeply cared about Harry.
His presence in the old seasons was so special, and I'm so glad the final season still made Harry an important character, even if he was only behind the scenes.
The reason why the actor who played Harry never returned, was because he had retired from acting. Even though I was lowkey sad over this realization, I was so happy David Lynch still made Harry important, because he knew how much the fans loved him.
I thought it was so wholesome how Cooper told Frank to give Harry his best wishes before he set off to another alternate timeline. Cooper truly cared about Harry, and I wonder if he saw him as his best friend in a way. A sheriff and an FBI teaming up was truly one of the biggest highlights of the old seasons.
Frank was a great replacement for the final season, and he was able to carry the torch of Harry, making sure to continue his legacy as a great sheriff with a good heart.
