So this episode has most definitely been haunting me all week, and I love it for that. But one thing has been running through my mind quite a bit and I'm not seeing it mentioned anywhere. I just wonder, when the Woodsman approaches his victims and continuously asks for a "light", what does this really mean? I keep thinking back to episode 6 in that tragic scene of the boy being run over by the Mack truck. Carl Rodd saw his spirit leave his body and ascend into the air which, to me at least, looked like a greenish/yellowish "light". So, considering how everyone (except for the initial older couple who is able to escape) that the Woodsman approaches and asks for a light is ultimately killed, I take this to mean that the "light" he's looking for is their spirit. Also remember the end of Fire Walk with Me in the Red Room when Bob removes Leland's "wound" and flings the blood to the floor (the garmonbozia?); I felt a direct link to this when the Woodsman did something similar when bending the disc jockey's neck back and the blood splashed to the floor there. So these are my thoughts and observations on some possibly minimal aspects. Discuss.
Dunno. My thought was they were just approximating human behaviour. Notice how the phrase sounds like a badly sampled loop? So, they wander around, cigarette in hand, to get close enough to someone to kill them, for whatever reason, until they get somewhere to broadcast the message.
Maybe.
My first thought was that of Robertson flicking matches at a young Leland Palmer.
The Woodsman may also be wandering, looking for a kindred spirit among us humans to possess....Fire walk with me.
Double post
Got a ligh is more than likely relevant to the line "Fire Walk With Me"
theur are many limes throught to TP relegated to fire or the lighting of: "Really lights my F-I-R-E" etc.
it would seem that the reading the poem, not unlike Bobs. by someone/somthing asking for "a light" is a direct connection indicator to Bob and his fire
Maybe he just really wanted that smoke haha

Agreed.
Something is off, they seem a little blank, like DoppelDale in jail repeating his words. They also walk and move rather slowly, like zombies.

? Hmm, that was a hilarious joke, but it gave me an idea.
Since no other hobo went, "Gotta light - gotta light - gotta light?", maybe in a future episode we'll see a scene of a large group of lumberjacks somewhere getting charred to death, and when it happened, this particular woodsman had a cigarette on his lips and had been asking another woodsman, "Gotta light?"
That line being the last thing on his mind before he died, he keeps repeating it even now that he's turned.
Or that was the moment the woodsmen became evil. If only someone would have lit that darn cigarette Bob could have been a force for good and those poor people wouldn't have had their skulls crushed ???

I doubt it. Bob is really a front for Philip Morris. 😉

same thought...I'm gonna stick to it
I am not sure that is the moment they became evil. I seriously believe they are the greys in the secret history and they were around before 1956. I think they manifested out of our own evil. The descend out of thin air.
I was just joking, trying to lighten the discussions from the more serious theories.
Fire walk with
