Laura Palmer theory...

First of all: RIP David Lynch 🙏 funkiest man to walk the earth

I don't think the real Laura Palmer ever shows up again in Twin Peaks after Fire Walk With Me.

I don't interact a lot with the Twin Peaks fandom, so idk if this is an agreed-upon concept or a concept at all, but it's something I've thought about ever since I finished Twin Peaks. I'd like to discuss it.

Keep in mind that I haven't read the real diary of Laura Palmer or any of the twin peaks books; this theory is based entirely on the original series, movie, and the return.

Ok so, who is the "real" Laura Palmer? The real Laura is the girl we see in Fire Walk with Me, the one who has a dream/vision of Cooper before she dies. I think Fire Walk with Me is the only instance (excluding flashbacks and videos from the series) in which we witness the real Laura in the entirety of Twin Peaks; why? Well, I base this theory on the ending of the movie.

After Laura is killed, we see her in the white lodge (yes, I think she is in the white lodge). She is accompanied by her angels (I like to imagine Cooper was sort of a guardian angel for Laura, irrelevant here tho).

I believe that by being in the white lodge, Laura Palmer finally found peace, and in a more generic way to put it, she went to heaven, and she stayed there forever.

Now, episode 3. When we see a fake Laura Palmer. Why do I think this is a fake Laura? I think the lodge/red room works differently based on the person present there, and in this case, it was Cooper. He sees Laura, but that doesn't mean she is truly there in spirit, even the red man confirms this:

"She is my cousin, but doesn't she look almost exactly like Laura Palmer?"

Even the fake Laura sort of confirms it

"I feel like I know her"

I think this Laura is a manifestation created by lodge identities to "help" Cooper. Is this manifestation created by the black lodge? The white lodge? The arm? The fireman? I dunno, and it doesn't really matter in the context of this theory.

I believe the lodge/red room manifests a lot of things based on Cooper's mind. For example; in the final episode of S2, he sees Caroline and a fake Annie alongside the real Annie.

Like Laura, I believe that only the Annie who doesn't speak is the real Annie. Caroline and talking Annie are both manifestations created by the black lodge to mock and torture cooper based on his memories.

If we look at it that way, we can theorize that the first manifestations we see back in episode 3 were created by the white lodge as they were guiding Cooper. But here, in the final episode, the manifestations are being created by the black lodge to torture Cooper by bringing back his former dead lover and his new lover.

(I know the agreed upon thing reggarding the lodges is that the person/soul stays there. Maybe Caroline, Annie and Laura are stuck there. But I honestly find this way of thinking very boring so I'm choosing to ignore it in favor of my own vision of the rules in twin peaks.)

Anyways, back to Laura:

I still think this "friendly" Laura is a manifestation, and so is the doppelganger Laura. Maybe by knowing more about Laura throughout the investigations, the black lodge created Laura's doppelganger to haunt Cooper based on his new knowledge about her.

Even tho Lodge Laura isn't real, they are based on Cooper's idea of Laura mixed with the lodge's guidance/tauntings.

Now, the return...

Unlike the previous Lauras, this Laura confirms she is, in fact, Laura Palmer.

But she isn't the Laura Palmer we know from Fire Walk with Me. This is the Laura that Cooper rescued from the past; this is Carrie Paige Laura.

Why do I believe that? Well, because of her hair.

In promo material for The Return, we see that Sheryl Lee is pictured with the Iconic long Laura Palmer hair with bangs, but the Laurs we see in the show are sporting shorter hair, the Carrie Paige hairstyle we see at the end of the season.

I know that using the promo material in a theory is a bit flimsy, but I believe it's plausible.

Now, why would Carrie Paige be here? After all, Carrie herself says she isn't Laura Palmer in the final episode. Well, I believe that Carrie-Laura meeting Cooper in the red room is another manifestation created by the lodge to "guide" him; after all, that's what the lodge did back in season 1, episode 3.

"Is it future, or is it past?"

"Is this Laura Palmer, or is this Carrie Paige?"

"Laura is the one"

One interesting thing we see Carrie-Laura do is remove her own face, and inside there is light.

Unlike in season 1 episode 3, where the white lodge was helping Cooper, this time it's the black lodge, wearing a mask of familiarity and a fake Laura, repeating dialogue we already know to trick Cooper and us. This Laura isn't here to help Cooper, she is here to confuse him, to taunt him. She gives the impression of being the real Laura, but Laura Palmer is dead.

"Find Laura."

During the vision shown to Andy by the fireman, we see Laura Palmer surrounded by angels. Meaning that the real Laura is in heaven since the ending of Fire Walk with Me. But cooper doesn't know that.

The series ends with a blackout. In the lodge, Carrie-Laura removed her face, and we saw light, but it was a lie; in the end, Carrie Paige only caused a blackout.

Cooper goes back in time, creating a new timeline where Laura didn't die and became Carrie Paige. But that didn't solve anything, it was useless. And when Cooper returns the one he thinks is Laura to her old home, the one he thinks is "the one". Nothing happens, because this isn't the real Laura, and the real Laura is not coming back.

This "theory" isn't all that polished so there may be some holes in it. I'd like to hear other twin peakers thoughts on it.

THE WIZARD OF OZ x TWIN PEAKS (endings of THE MISSING PIECES & S2 finale E29).

Of course, an OZ-influence can also be easily read into the related ending of TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, with the lower-hanging fruit including the monkey whispering "JUDY" in the final moments of the film...

Before creating this Tumblr account (and well before the LYNCH/OZ documentary was released), I posted many other comparisons between OZ & TWIN PEAKS on my Twitter account, a couple small examples of which include the below related to FWWM:

Jacques’ cabin in TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME (Lynch, 1992) x The Tin Man’s cottage in THE WIZARD OF OZ (Fleming, 1939). In both films, we see the chief villain attack a group of four characters at this location.

“Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!” This iconic WIZARD OF OZ line is evoked in TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, with a sinister Leland emerging from behind a curtain to watch Laura leave home a final time - a scene replayed in TP-2017’s OZ-allusion-filled finale.

OZ’s wording, “the man behind the curtain,” is even expressly evoked, in part, in FWWM’s use of the phrase “the man behind the mask” to refer to Leland-BOB:

Laura Palmer - Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me, 1992

[orlaite]

top 5 male and female performances from things you've watched this year

Female:

Sheryl Lee as Laura Palmer, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. How her career didn't blow up after FWWM I'll never understand. She's AMAZING, my #1 Scream Queen❤️

Margarete Schön as Kriemhild of Burgund, Die Nibelungen. Her transformation from Siegfried to Kriemhild's Revenge... People were killed (literally)!

Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, Sunset Boulevard. She's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment. Now come awn now!

Maria Falconetti as Jeanne D'Arc, The Passion of Joan of Arc. The immense pathos this movie has which is in large part due to Falconetti's mesmerizing performance.

Olivia de Havilland as Catherine Sloper, The Heiress. Another amazing transformation performance.

Male:

Al Pacino as Michael Corleone, The Godfather part II. Make fun of me for being A plebian who only watched the Godfather movies this year all you want, I have the 4K steelbooks. And they sent me on a Pakino binge my letterboxd stats will never recover from.

Peter O'Toole as T.E Lawrence, Lawrence of Arabia. Need I say more.

John Travolta as Jack Terry, Blow Out. The movie that made me realize Travolta is a great fucking actor when he has the right project and director.

Tony Curtis as Joe/Josephine, Some Like It Hot. I was very impressed by how not only funny and realized but also very distinctive each of his three "roles" were (Joe/Josephine/Shell Oil Jr.).

Jack Lemmon as C.C Baxter, The Apartment. Just the sweetest guy. Lemmon balances charm, witty self-deprecation, and tenderness so well.

[80s-movie-tournament]

5, 14, and 17 for the ask?

I already answered 5, so I'm going to skip ahead!

14. A movie made better by the ending

Dead Poets Society has such an iconic, bittersweet ending that I just have to go with it. The boys standing on desks lives rent-free in my head 24/7 and I couldn't imagine it ending any other way.

17. A movie you never get tired of talking about

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. It did really poorly when it came out because it lacks that sense of comfort that the series does, but as a prequel following the life of Laura before her death, I think it does exactly what it needs to do. It is dark and gripping and ugly and raw and honestly kind of painful to watch but it reminds the viewer that we had gotten to experience Twin Peaks through a kind of veil before, through the eyes of other characters, but never through those of Laura herself, the true heart of the story.

I'm also going to add on 12. A performance you think is underrated--

because that goes to Sheryl Lee (who plays Laura). I can't believe how underutilized she's been outside of Lynch films. She's got such a distinctive voice and her performance broke my heart.

Thanks!
