Talk:Laura Palmer

FBI involvment
Cooper isn't there because of Laura's murder. He's there because Ronette crosses a state line, as stated in the Twin Peaks article: " Because Ronette was discovered across the state line, FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called in to investigate." Niels E (talk) 20:41, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Hunter S. Thompson??
What's the reference to him doing in there? Doesn't seem to have anything to do with Laura Palmer the David Lynch character! I didn't take it out, though, since maybe I'm crazy and there's some connection. Maybe somebody else wants to remove this reference? Songflower 00:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Horses??
What's with the random quote about horses from her diary??? 146.95.94.148 (talk) 21:20, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

This is an online encyclopedia, not IMDB. There will not be spoiler warnings. If you worry about finding out about plot points, don't visit the entry. (Sellpink (talk) 23:56, 8 September 2017 (UTC))

"molest, rape"
Hmm, maybe I missed the reference but where is it implied or said that she was raped/molested by Leland possessed by Bob? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.148.152.61 (talk) 22:16, 21 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It's said in dialogues in the second season, and in the film Fire Walk With Me, we actually see it happening. --2003:71:4E07:BB50:88EC:DAAB:3277:49D3 (talk) 18:44, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Date of birth
Her birthdate seems to have been provided by the cards released during the show's run, and the date would give her the age of 16 at her death, though the show states she is 17. --172.58.137.54 (talk) 21:05, 24 April 2016 (UTC)

Conflicting dates
It should be noted that the sources give conflicting dates on the date of Laura's murder and her birth year (also see earlier entries above this one on this talkpage). Both the first two seasons of the series and the film Fire Walk With Me don't give any year for either. The only definite date given there is when Cooper drives into town in the pilot and records the date "February 24th" to his tapes for Diane. The only sources that give exact dates are the TP books, but they conflict each other. The only other place where a tentative year occurs is in the first episode in the sawmill, where we see after Josie's return (after she's been away for some time) a calendar dated "1989" in her office. In The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer (published in-between the first two seasons), her last dated entry dates from October 1989, followed by a number of missing pages and undated entries, and she states in July 1984 that it is her 12th birthday, making 1972 her birth year. Contradicting that, in the two books My Life, My Tapes (written after the end of season two not even by Mark Frost but his brother Scott) and The Secret History of Twin Peaks (2016), Laura's murder is said to occur in February 1989, months before her last dated entry in her secret diary published long before the two books by the Frost brothers. --2003:71:4E07:BB50:88EC:DAAB:3277:49D3 (talk) 18:56, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
