Trivia
When Twin Peaks was rerun on the Bravo cable network in 1993, David Lynch wrote new introductions for each episode that were performed by Catherine Coulson as The Log Lady. The one for this episode was thus:

"Is a dog man's best friend? I had a dog. The dog was large. It ate my garden, all the plants, and much earth. The dog ate so much earth it died. Its body went back to the earth. I have a memory of this dog. The memory is all that I have left of my dog. He was black and white."

Goofs
The map which Col. Riley uses to indicate the source of the mysterious messages is actually of Los Padres National Forest and Lake Cachuma Recreational Area, near Santa Barbara, California.

Quotes
Dale Cooper: Denise, I would assume you're no longer interested in girls.
DEA Agent Dennis: Coop, I may be wearing a dress, but I still pull my panties on one leg at a time, if you know what I mean
Dale Cooper: Not really.

eh

Season 2 is particularly infamous for the departure of Lynch, but I never knew how stale it truly was without him. But it so is. It's painfully average. The melodrama is amped way up, the world no longer feels unique and strange, as it used to be. The charmingly odd humour and whim of the characters has dissipated, and as sure as I am that these aspects will return (given Lynch's return to the show) I struggle with how self SERIOUS this show has become at this point.

The subplots range from lukewarm to just downright unnecessary, boring and even just downright creepy (a certain student teacher narrative). Everyone is super annoying, and this narrative is going absolutely nowhere. And when this show TRIES to be funny and weird, it just fails, and is borderline cringe.
