Decoding Margaret Lanterman

I do not "introduce" the log! Let's take a moment to discuss one of Twin Peaks most irreverent character's. Played by the very talented Catherine E. Coulson , Margaret Lanterman aka The Log Lady often stole every scene she was in with her impeccable timing and somewhat uncomfortable presence. She seems to have insight about a lot of Twin Peaks secrets, yet is dependent on her log for companionship and the psychic knowledge it provides.

Heavy Metal Youth! Let's count down the best of the worst side characters whose storyline's either pained or amused us! Please note: This is purely for fun and nothing against the actors, only a critique of the characters. 11. Evelyn Marsh & Malcolm Plot: Evelyn and her sinister brother Malcolm plot to frame James Hurley for the murder of Evelyn's rich husband Jeffrey. However they fail.

The Verdict: The show probably would have been better without this storyline. 10. Blackie's sister Nancy Plot:  Nancy conspires with Jean Renault to kidnap Audrey for ransom and overthrow her sister, Blackie, as queen of One Eyed Jacks. She ultimatel...
