All episodes & show notes for my podcast coverage of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
May 7 - 20, 2022
(illustrations for storylines, character rankings, locations, TIME cover & all categories)
The line-up below is essentially correct but does not include the usual pictures.
CHECK BACK ON MONDAY EVENING FOR THE COMPLETE ILLUSTRATED POST
(or, if needed, my announcement of a change of plans for this podcast going forward).
Right now, this companion is mostly text-only. All of the details for the next 2 weeks of podcasts are here. I wanted to publish on schedule to provide an overview, but was unable to finish preparing the presentation. Images and links will be added as I'm able to do so. The first podcast episode went up on schedule and the next few are ready to publish as planned.
*
end of Saturday update: When this companion piece went up this morning, I thought a few hours or at most a day would be sufficient to collect the necessary screenshots and random images to belatedly finish it. Unfortunately, the task proved gargantuan and I'm still way behind. Because I'm ahead on other parts of the project, I don't want to give up yet...but I may need to re-think my projects and priorities for the summer. Stay tuned, and apologies for the confusion and delays.

Episode 31L: Teresa Banks clues, Laura's self-discovery, the 3 questions
on Wednesday, May 18
...Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Pinecast & most other podcast platforms
0:00 WHO KILLED TERESA BANKS?
including prior knowledge...
died a year before Laura, letter under her fingernail, lived on the opposite side of the state, no family or loved ones claimed the body, Leland confesses "they" made him kill Teresa
including premise from the film's first scene...
2 shots (neither showing her face or her killer): area of inquiry is crime scene
including new clues about the murder/surrounding incidents & prior life...
from first FBI investigation: areas of inquiry are local corruption through prior police knowledge (Gordon's Blue Rose clues) & interaction w/ officials; circumstances at time of death through local files & autopsy, cause of death & letter under fingernail through autopsy; personal behavior, work history & possible drug habit through employer interview; physical condition (numb arm) through employer interview & FBI forensic knowledge; living conditions & personal affect (ring) through victim's residence (leading to no firm conclusions on their own although non-FBI inference implicates a deputy in criminal activity around her death)
+ information that never makes it back to the FBI due to Chet's disappearance: further discovery of ring and neighbors' possible involvement through investigation of area (inference from later material connects the neighbors' trailer/ring to the train car/necklace & the Owl Cave/Black Lodge)
from second FBI investigation (Cooper's follow-up): neighbors' identity through investigation of area around residence (leading to no firm conclusions on their own although inference from later knowledge identifies the neighbors as spirits from the series)
from Laura's realizations: ring connection to spirit figures & possible relief from Leland/Bob through dream/vision; Teresa's investigation of Leland through Ronette & Jacques' discussion; Leland's connection to ring through traffic confrontation (implicates Leland as suspect & connects the mystery to a larger spiritual struggle)
from Leland's flashback: Leland as her john, Leland as her killer
Conclusions & the big picture
WHY WAS LAURA PALMER KILLED?
PART 1: LIFE LEADING UP TO DEATH
PREMISE: idyllic surface, secret life & despair
AUDIENCE DISCOVERIES: what she already knows: history of abuse by Bob, Bob's desire for possession, prostitution (w/ Jacques & One Eyed Jack's) & what she doesn't find out: Leland drugging Sarah
LAURA'S ACTIVE INVESTIGATIONS
areas of inquiry include...
what Bob knows
(through damaged object & spiritual assistance - he's read her diary)
who Bob is
(through spiritual assistance, Leland's behavior, questioning Leland & direct perception - Bob is Leland)
what Leland wants
(through his behavior & statements both direct & evasive - acknowledgement, repression, control, love, acceptance, submission, acquiescence in a shared public lie & silent secret)
how Bob plans to take control
(through ritual - implicitly, entangling Laura in the killing of Ronette)
what the spirit world wants her to know
(through dream/vision - ring as token & evidence, danger of spiritual fire, Leland/Bob identity)
PART 2: MURDER & SURROUNDING INCIDENTS
WHAT IS THE WAY OUT?
Angels
(Power to save...but she doesn't believe...needs a reason to see)
Spirit World
(Counterforce to Bob...but he dominates the moment...needs a psychological trigger for access)
Ring
(Connects to spirits & confronts Leland...but it's outside the train car...needs to open door)
Compassion
(Breaks Bob's hold...but she hurts friends & sees Ronette as fallen...needs a path to recognition)
...her concern for Donna & Ronette's concern for her as the path...
REVELATION
WHO IS LAURA PALMER?
WHO IS AGENT COOPER?
