Rocket blind into the dark Season 2 Episode 18 Written by: Barry Pullman Directed by: Duwayne Dunham Original Air Date: December 15th, 1990 "Is there someplace you're going to or running from?" On the highway, James takes the longest ride possible out of Twin Peaks on his hog, a scene that is accompanied by some twangy music. After what seems like days of riding, James ends up at Wallies Hideout only a few towns away from Twin Peaks. He sits at the bar next to a blonde woman who's having a drink alone. She immediately engages him in an odd conversation and asks, "is there someplace you're going to or running from?" James laughs and tells her she's got the wrong man and he's alright. The woman responds by saying, "men are always alright, right up until they pull the trigger...," James tells her he's just a quiet guy and compliments her jacket. Then she asks if he can help her fix her husband's c...

An Evening With Mark Frost

Last night I had the pleasure of meeting Mark Frost at his book signing event in New York. It was an intimate gathering at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square and also the first stop on his book tour for The Secret History of Twin Peaks . Mark read from the book and also played clips from the audio version, before he began signing. Getting to speak with him and shake his hand was a thrill for me. I found him to be very charming, gracious and sincere.  In addition to meeting Mark Frost, I got to meet @FrancineD @TwinPeaksUnwrap @DeerMeadowRadio and @ThatsOurWaldo. I love to talk with other fans and discuss the different ways that Twin Peaks inspires them to be creative. Everyone is expressing themselves in their medium of choice, but all unified in their devotion to Twin Peaks and I just love it! Twin Peaks fans really are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.  As for what's inside The Secret History of Twin Peaks, well...I'm not g...
