Character namn referenser i Twin Peaks

Det är en intressant anslutning, men jag vet inte att det var en avsiktlig referens. Troligen kan Lynch komma med på att det var en del av hans undermedvetna när han skapade showen, men tydligen var det Lynchs hyllning till restaurangkedja, Bobs stora pojke :

Frank Silva, who plays BOB, says the name is Lynch's tribute to Bob's Big Boy, the place where he had the same lunch every day for years.

Från Lynchs bok " David Lynch: Intervjuer " :

I like things to be orderly. For seven years I ate at Bob's Big Boy. I would go at 2:30, after the lunch rush. I ate a chocolate shake and four, five, six, seven cups of coffee--with lots of sugar. And there's lots of sugar in that chocolate shake. It's a thick shake. In a silver goblet. I would get a rush from all this sugar, and I would get so many ideas! I would write them on these napkins. It was like I had a desk with paper. All I had to do was remember to bring my pen, but a waitress would give me one if I remembered to return it at the end of my stay. I got a lot of ideas at Bob's.

Det kan vara spekulation, eller bara vad Frank Silva (som spelar BIR) fick veta av Lynch, men med tanke på hans ursprungsmyth, är det något som ett spel på vad Leland har blivit nu när han är en "stor pojke "och i huvudsak ägs av BIR:

When Leland Palmer was a boy, BOB lived near his grandfather. He taunted Leland, asking "do you wanna play with fire, little boy?" BOB subsequently possessed Leland.

Det var uppenbarligen att BIR inte ursprungligen var en del av showen, eftersom Lynch tänkte det, per, " Terror av" Twin Peaks ": Hans namn är BIR " av Matthew JX Malady:

“In the beginning,” as Lynch noted during a talk he gave in Seattle a number of years back, “there wasn’t any BOB.” While shooting the pilot in an Everett, Wash., home that would be used for the Palmer residence on the show, a member of the crew joked to Silva, the set dresser, that he needed to make sure he didn’t trap himself in Laura Palmer’s room in the process of setting up for a scene. When Lynch heard the comment, it triggered something. “In my mind,” Lynch continued, “I see Frank locked in that room. And I went rushing in to Frank, not knowing why I rushed in, really.” He asked Silva if he was an actor, to which Silva answered in the affirmative. “So I said, ‘Frank, I think you’re going to be in this scene.’”

Lynch then filmed the takes, first broadcast during season one, where Silva, as BOB, crouches down at the edge of Laura Palmer’s bed, “but I didn’t know what in the world, you know, Frank was doing there.” Later that night, Silva (who passed away in 1995) seemingly ruined a perfect take featuring Laura Palmer’s mother by accidentally standing in a spot where his image was reflected onto a mirror behind the actress playing Mrs. Palmer. The occurrence seemed to cement things for Lynch, who saw it as something that was meant to be and included the botched take in the final cut.

... men du är korrekt att hans "riktiga" namn är "Robert":

The first insinuation of BOB occurs in the series pilot, when Agent Cooper digs deep below the recently murdered Laura Palmer’s left ring fingernail with tweezers and — as we see in close-up detail — removes a tiny piece of paper with the letter “R” typed onto its surface. Later in the series, viewers find out the killer was spelling out ROBERT by leaving these letters on his victims’ bodies.

Annat än det tror jag inte att det finns några andra karaktärsnamn som har någon speciell betydelse.
