In the Access Guide, Andrew and Catherine's father is named Ezekial. In the Secret History, his name is Thomas. The Twin Peaks Post article mentions Margaret's log being Douglas Fir, even though it has always been stated as Ponderosa Pine, including in the Access Guide. By presenting a woman as the final voice in both The Secret History and The Final Dossier, Mark Frost is able to counter and to couch some of this systemic misogyny in a less confrontational, but still unpleasant and overwhelming fashion. Although Jacoby was under the influence of some strong drugs when relating this experience, the details really strike me as noteworthy. Reading his description of the creatures as “humanoid,” “cold,” and “reptilian” brings forth imagery of alien life forms — a very common thread throughout the Secret History.

Origin Story: How an Unassuming Pilot’s Story of Bright Objects in the Sky Sparked a Worldwide Quest for the Truth,” Newsweek, special issue, November-December 2017, 15. however, it’s a german edition with the z/y keys in switched positions, which is normal on the ‘qwertz’ keyboard:: Interesting that Jacoby brings up the color purple again, and I can only wonder if this is connected in any way to the Purple Room in The Return.Additionally, it states that Crowley's book, Moonchild, was published in 1923, whereas it was actually published in 1917. This post was published a while ago. Please keep its age in mind and if you find any errors, feel free to comment. Series co-author Mark Frost’s novelisation includes dossier-style material consisting of case files, redacted official documents and journals delving into the original mystery of Twin Peaks. There’s even rumoured to be a special ‘easter egg’ which may contain a coded message for fans giving clues to secrets of the new series. In the book, Lawrence Jacoby had moved to Hawaii by March 19, 1989, writing his final notes about Laura and had his license revoked on March 26. However, Jacoby appears to still be practicing psychiatry in Twin Peaks in the final episodes, which take place after this date.

Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier is an epistolary (dossier-style) novel by Mark Frost, and a sequel to Frost's earlier book, The Secret History of Twin Peaks. The text was initially released by Flatiron Books on October31,2017 ( 2017-10-31). Why do we care about that? The infamous Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash is believed to have occurred on July 7, 1947. This places Arnold’s sighting weeks earlier with a printed newspaper story to confirm it. As fans, we latch onto numbers. There were nine aircraft. We could trifle with the significance. Did Frost craftily choose accounts that invoked the number nine? What would it mean if he did? I would not want to divert us too far off the path, but we can spend a short time with the number. Having read through a large entry for the number in The Penguin Dictionary for Symbols by Jean Chevalier and Alain Gheerbrant and translated from the French by John Buchanan-Brown, two quotes felt of significance. First, “Each world—Heaven, Earth, and Hell—is symbolized by the ternary figure of the triangle. Nine is the totality of the three worlds. Nine is the number of the celestial spheres and, in counterpoise, of the circles of Hell.” [1] Is there a significance when we contemplate “between two worlds?” It is the inverted six on our ominous Fat Trout Trailer Park electricity pole. Secondly, “Orphic initiation would similarly seem to have accepted three triads of principles, ‘the first comprising Night, Sky and Time; the second, Air, Light and the Stars; and the third, Sun, Moon and Nature, these nine principles making up the nine symbolic aspects of the universe.” [2] Roswell (p. 88-91) All of which is a way of saying the novel is not immune to the same types of continuity problems as the series and the film. There are little things in the book that simply don’t work when compared to the show, but those could easily be oversights, or even minor retcons for storytelling clarity. Yet some of these larger incongruities are so noticeable and grievous that, for any well-attuned fan, it’s bound to briefly take the reader out of the story. The book states that Douglas' wedding occurred on the same night Briggs disappeared but this was not the case in the series.It is apparent that Dr. Jacoby is one of those people. Laura’s death causes Jacoby to go from a somewhat scatter-brained, disinterested psychiatrist to an honest, compassionate motivator who sells golden shovels for digging yourself out of the shit — rising above the problems of the world. In the Access Guide, Harry team number is #10, Ed is #60, Hank is #81 and Stan Lillas is #80 but in the dossier, Harry is #45, Ed is #65 and Hank is #80. In the television series, we have seen the character of Gordon Cole, played by David Lynch, act inappropriately with much younger women, including, in what apparently amused Lynch as inappropriate, kissing a waitress while we, the home audience, are aware that he is a writer, director, and showrunner of the program, and she is an employee in the cast. Though, the Archivist was speaking figuratively, stating just after it that Catherine was "only playing hardball."
