When Wyndham's actual master plan is finally revealed it makes no sense at all other then to ephasize how evil he is - and to get Cooper where he needs to be for the end of the season.Īlthough Season One wasn't entirely lacking in hopeless subplots - (surely it must have been a relief for everyone when the Josie Packard's tedious sawmill finally burnt down). Between bouts of cackling and overacting we see him make the occasional foray into town wearing a selection of music-hall disguises and stuck-on facial hair that bafflingly manage to fool everybody he meets. We're apparently supposed to see him as Hannibal Lecter - but cleverer - and more evil - whereas actually what we have is a sixties Batman villain who can't even manage to stick to a theme for his villainy.

Wyndham spends most of his time in his forest hideaway laughing like a maniac, as he first devises a series of totally pointless chess-related crimes, before planning his evil master stroke - the kidnap of the `Miss Twin Peaks' beauty pageant winner. Unfortunately Lynch must have been mentally or physically absent when Wyndham Earl was dreamed up. It could be argued that David Lynch has created some of the screen's most terrifying and original villains - Frank Booth, Bobby Peru, Lost Highway's Mystery Man, even BOB himself. Thanks to compromise, pragmatism, the charisma of the show's better stars together with some enterprising flourishes from the show's various directors, the season managed to keep going to the end - or at least until Lynch's late reappearance as the director of some final fascinating scenes.Īfter the premature unmasking of Laura's killer, the rest of the town's small-time and slightly bigger-time villains are soon hastily dispatched as well, leaving the Sheriff's Dept to concentrate all their efforts on season two's dastardly newcomer - the `unspeakable' Wyndham Earl.

Unfortunately the TV company famously panicked and forced the revelation of Laura's killer early on in the second series, Co-creator David Lynch was called away on other business (Wild at Heart) and the private lives of the cast began to interfere with the plotting of the story. This tension and fascination could possibly have been prolonged indefinitely or at least a whole lot longer. Watching Cooper and Co at work on the dark, baffling and surreal mystery of Laura Palmer's death made the first series utterly compelling. While the sheriff's team proved, from the outset to be somewhat eccentric, Cooper's FBI colleagues revealed an endearing and utterly original notion of the Bureau and its workings.

We soon learn that if we can't trust Coop we can't trust anybody and it becomes easy to believe that heaven really is a small lumber town that serves transcendental apple pies.Ĭooper's hearty enthusiasm for the town is also reassuring to local Sheriff Truman and a respectful working relationship is born that is not only touching but also goes against the grain of the long running convention of uneasy crime fighting partners. In the Pilot episode, as Special Agent Cooper rolls past the town's famous signboard and he is already savouring the scent of the Douglas firs it soon becomes clear that, revealed to us through the medium of Cooper's senses, and his infectious enthusiasm for the place, It will soon be almost impossible not to share his enthusiasm for the town of Twin Peaks.
