1) Twin Peaks sure looks like a verdant, bucolic treasure, but this green font implies something X-Files-y and sinister…
2) Yep, called it. The world’s best looking corpse just washed up on shore.
3) Did all of the teenagers in Twin Peaks just exit a time machine from 1956? Saddle shoes, letterman jackets, and A-line skirts, oh my. And what’s up with this guy?
