If Laura Palmer's Murder Wasn't Solved

It probably would have just ended earlier.

My question is why didn't you post this in the Twin Peaks General?

>>83242557
Because I have terminal autism. Also, I didn't check the catalog.

It's pretty obvious who killed her, since he was the only character on the show who was completely batshit insane.

Same as it became anyway, the black lodge lore.

and the only one who just last his daughter so going a little insane i think is completly understanderble

Sarah wasn't nearly as deranged as him and he's also the only one living in that house who wasn't terrorised by Bob.

she wasn't physically threatened by bob, but she was definitely terrorized. saw him all the time in visions and shit.

leland being crazy made sense in context before the reveal

Yes it would have been unsolved, because what he really wanted to do was focus on the characters in the world he and Frost constructed. I think the quirky moments in the missing pieces of FWWM are indicative of what it would have been like (not that the show itself didn't have its fair share of that).

He says the idea was that the killer would never be revealed, but it was planned out at least very roughly from the start. Ray Wise says that Lynch and Frost sat him down and told him "It was always you".

On my first blind watch through, Leland was still my main guess. I was satisfied when it was him, but not terribly surprised.

It's just unfortunate the show still had to go on. But a bunch of irrelevant extra episodes don't really take away from the good stuff. If you really wanna know what happened to all the minor townspeople, you can watch the rest of s2.

It would have become what we kinda see already.

Coop staying in twin peaks, his personal life tangling with the twin peaks citizens, Windom Earle, etc.

Black Lodge stuff, expanding the lore of the town, more espionage with the Martells and shit.

And maybe every once in a while another murder happens to spice stuff up.

deranged? sarah was seeing bob then screaming like a deranged women, she had just lost her child so nothing unusual there, leland was a broken mess until he he thought he knew who the killer was and went to kill him after that he was a liittle loopy as he thought he had avenged his doughter but again its understandable

I've read elsewhere that Lynch was inspired by the TV series (?) the Fugitive, which didn't reveal its mystery until the series finale. I imagine that had Lynch had his way, we would have found out at the end of the series while all the other subplots were going on.

My dream version of Twin Peaks second season would have cut out half the subplots, pushed the reveal to the end, and tie it in with the Windom Earle/Black Lodge stuff for a crazy finale. It's a shame it didn't happen that way; someone at ABC should have been fired for pushing the murder reveal to the first third of the fucking season (or even asking for that many episodes to begin with).

He said in A Slice of Lynch that the Laura Palmer murder mystery would have been the untouchable golden mystery and other mysteries surrounding it would have been explored.
