Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Is the Man From Another place {{spoiler|legitimately trying to stop BOB to prevent a catastrophe from happening, or is he an evil spirit attempting to take control of BOB for his own purposes?}} Due to the show's cancellation, we may never know for sure.
* [[Base Breaker]]: Annie Blackburn. While she isn't without her fans, she still gets flack from [[Fan
* [[
** The singing scene with James, Donna and Maddy. Helped heaping them all onto the [[The Scrappy|scrappy heap]] if they weren't there already.
* [[Characterization Marches On]]: When Cooper first meets the Twin Peaks police, he tells Harry rather standoffishly that "Once the Bureau gets involved, we run the show." Then later Cooper defends Harry against Albert, and later still when Harry {{spoiler|tells Cooper he wants to prosecute Ben Horne for Laura's murder}}, Cooper says "All right, this is your operation."
Line 9:
* [[Complete Monster]]: BOB, all but literally.
* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: The entire soundtrack, really. Good thing too, because most of it consists of a few tracks played over and over in each episode, and if it weren't so good it would drive people crazy. Now has [[Twin Peaks/Awesome Music|it's own page]].
* [[Cult Classic]]
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Audrey is one of, if probably not THE most popular character aside from ol' Coop.
** Gordon Cole, Albert Rosnefield, and Maddie Ferguson all have pretty big fanbases despite not appearing that much.
* [[Fan
** It's rumoured that the decision not to move forward with the Cooper and Audrey romance was down to Lara Flynn Boyle (who was involved with Kyle at the time). It was confirmed by the producer-writer Robert Engels.
* [[Holy Shit Quotient]]: Extremely high.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff|Japanese Love Twin Peaks]]: While ''Twin Peaks'' is more along the lines of a [[Cult Classic]] in the U.S., it was VERY popular when it aired in Japan. It even influenced the creators of [[The Legend of Zelda:
** Lynch even filmed a series of Japanese coffee commercials, starring Agent Cooper and the rest of the gang. Can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3A_-FHsPwfQ&feature=related here]
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: {{spoiler|Leo arguably becomes this over the course of his captivity in Windom Earle's cabin, during which he comes to understand firsthand the sort of horrifying abuse he inflicted upon Shelly. See [[Redemption Equals Death]] below.}}
Line 21:
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "She's dead... wrapped in plastic."
** [[Owl Be Damned|"The Owls are not what they seem."]]
*** ''[[Twin Peaks]]'' is [[TV Tropes
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: And [[The Movie]], ''Fire Walk with Me'', is even ''scarier'' than the series, which is to be expected because it's about the final days of Laura Palmer. BOB is at his most terrifying, the Black Lodge is even more disturbing, and if you're faint of heart, it's probably a good idea to close your eyes during the scene where Laura climbs on top of Harold Smith and says "Fire...Walk...With...Me. '''''ME!!!'''''" Seriously.
* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Annie Blackburn, who was wheeled in out of nowhere purely to supplant Audrey as Cooper's love interest.
** [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|Three words:]] John. Justice. Wheeler.
* [[Rescued
* [[Romantic Plot Tumor]]: Several. Primarily to blame for the general consensus that the second season would've been much better if it had been half as long.
* [[The Scrappy]]: James Hurley (for being monumentally stupid, even by the standards of Twin Peaks teenagers) and Josie Packard (for being a hysterical victim and nothing else); take your pick. Or Nadine. Don't forget Annie and John Justice Wheeler, especially if you're a [[Fan
** Lana Budding Milford also gets a lot of flack.
** Arguably the series' biggest Scrappy is Evelyn Marsh, who served no purpose to the main storyline and was probably only added to {{spoiler|[[Put
* [[Seasonal Rot]]: It is generally agreed that the series loses focus after the main story arc is resolved in episode 8 of season 2. A new, related story arc emerges in the rest of the second season, but much of it suffers from having been neglected by Lynch and left to less competent writers and directors, causing [[Depending
* [[Signature Scene]]: The Red Room scene at the end of the third episode.
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The last scene of ''Fire Walk With Me''.
Line 36:
* [[Too Good to Last]]
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Just about everything about the Black Lodge.
* [[Villain Decay]]: Ben.
* [[Wangst]]: Done intentionally with Leland in season 1.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Laura is a tragic example, Andy is a comic one, and Maddy, James and Bobby are just dumb.
