Why this must be read:

When David Lynch and Mark Frost pitched their show to ABC, they opened with the image of a body by a lake. Laura Palmer’s death was meant to be a MacGuffin, an excuse to draw Agent Cooper and the audience into the life of her hometown, but even after the murderer was revealed and the investigation closed, she never ceded her central place in the show (a reality reflected by the fact that in almost every episode the end credits ran over a close-up of Laura’s homecoming queen portrait). Charlie Quinn’s story vividly portrays Twin Peaks as a small community, tightly bound by memory and feeling, but threatening to splinter under the weight of the darkness from within and outside.

There's not a part of Twin Peaks that Laura doesn't scramble into. From the Double R Diner, to the Great Northern, she's more a part of the town now in death than she ever was alive, stronger and fixed in everyone's memories. Pete Martell thinks that maybe Laura's death took the last of Twin Peaks' innocence, shattering it like a cheap china ornament. Laura herself knew better — Twin Peaks was never innocent.
