bobby sees the immobility of the town and tries to call it out, but he is also a deeply emotional struggling seventeen year old with many issues whom we watch process his trauma day by dayâwhich i think is actually incredibly well written and makes sense for his character and relationship to the town and to laura. but bobby is treated as the odd one out, a suspect, as being wrong for reacting emotionally the way he does. and even the 'good' characters who try to help him are not immune from perpetuating the violence that has seeped into the town. bobby is a struggling kid, also in desperate need of help, and the people around him react by continuing to other him for breaking the dreamlike facade of twin peaks as a place of safety. in the second episode of the series, bobby lights a cigarette and refuses to engage with his parents in conversation about laura's death. in response, garland briggs strikes him across the face.
meanwhile i think about the fact that one of the first major moments interpersonal conflicts set up for albert is that he wants to do the autopsy on laura and finds himself fighting with half the townâincluding other law enforcement officersâto just do his job and try to bring this dead child justice. it is so incredible to me how key his character is in understanding how and why the show is the way it is, and then watching fire walk with me completely tempers the way you view the show; why didnât anyone help laura when she was alive? and why is albert the only adult to do so after her death?
