Networks of Twin Peaks: The Dale Cooper Effect
In this work, we analyse character networks in the cult TV show Twin Peaks. In the small-scale community network of Twin Peaks we discovered a new storytelling network phenomenon we called the Dale Cooper Effect, a phase transition in network structure. It is a sharp demarcation between the two statistically and topologically distinct networks of characters, where the point of demarcation is the protagonist himself (Special Agent Dale Cooper) introduced as a median character.
