Major Garland Briggs was in charge of Blue Book at the time Coop moseyed into town trying to find the killer of Laura Palmer.

Windom Earle (Kenneth Welsh) went insane during his stint in the region back in the late вЂ™60s, growing so obsessed with accessing the black lodge, he was thrown off the team. The Bookhouse Boys knew of the spirits in the woods, too, but not on the same level as the military. In his 2016 novel, вЂThe Secret History of Twin PeaksвЂ™, Frost goes into greater detail about Project Blue Book, the top secret search for the origins of the evil roaming Ghostwood Forest which was hidden behind a fake remit to find evidence of UFOs. The red room, a sort of purgatorial antechamber or waiting area between the lodges, is pure Lynch, of course. Lynch clearly digs the surreal possibilities and vibes these elements give him, but itвЂ™s Frost who introduced the black and white lodges into the show, basing it in part on Native American folklore. Much of this is actually Mark FrostвЂ™s doing. Numbers, glyphs, symbols and Dadaist clue played their part in the Laura Palmer and black lodge plots and, judging from the new series, will very much continue to do so.

Tibetan Buddhism sits next to B-movie sci-fi concepts, supernatural terrors and soap opera beats. Twin Peaks, its world and mythology, is rich in esoterica, the arcane and the strange. Even the white horse Sarah Palmer saw in season one, in one of her visions, turned up for a cameo.Д«eginning with a season one recap вЂ“ Laura PalmerвЂ™s message to Agent Cooper: вЂњIвЂ™ll see you again in 25 yearsвЂќ вЂ“ parts oneВ and twoВ set the stage for what will prove to be Lynch unbound, with Showtime having given him and co-creator Mark Frost carte blanche. There were old familiar faces (Shelly, the Palmers, Lucy, Andy and James) and fresh ones вЂ“ most notably Matthew LillardвЂ™s high school teacher, whoвЂ™s been arrested for a murder he swears happened in a dream. In fact, most of the action took place outside Twin Peaks (New York City, Las Vegas and South Dakota). Parts oneВ and twoВ (donвЂ™t call them episodes) took us back into the world of the small logging town in the Pacific Northwest and introduced a few new spotsВ on the map, too. The stars have turned and a time has presented itself. For maximum enjoyment, we recommend reading after youвЂ™ve watched the show. This article contains spoilers for Twin Peaks season 3: parts 1 and 2.
