the scene where coop meets up with truman in the bar to find out who will accompany him on his mission to one eyed jacks to save audrey, and truman reveals that it will be himself and the bookhouse boys was one of the most touching in the series imo

Truman/Rosenfield showdowns are among the best scenes in the series imo.

it's all about the buildup to the moment when rosenfield gives his speech about pacificism
"Now you listen to me. While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is that I am a naysayer and hatchetman in the fight against violence. I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King. My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method... is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.:

That & the "blithering hayseed/chowderhead yokel" rant are like flip sides of a coin (& equally memorable).

(We're watching Twin Peaks for the first time and we're on episode 14, I think, the one after the episode where *****SPOILER****** Bob goes to town on Maddy and I cannot believe that aired on broadcast TV! That was fucking brutal and awful and I could never live in that house, shit.)

i was watching that with a friend when it originally aired. we were both 13 or 14. her mom, a very sweet devoutly catholic housewife, walked into the den EXACTLY AT THE SCENE where bob/leland is "dancing" around the living room with a bloodied maddie. her exact, horrified words were: "WHAT are you WATCHING?!?!"

this thread, during my month or so hiatus from ilx, has become hilarious. i love the discussion of food, and especially food that is not discussed enough, and also just people posting one word or idea one after another, i.e. "fleshworld", or a tiny quote or something. GREAT
my family is so into this show. on easter this year my mom sent me a message talking about how she couldn't believe "TP's 20 years old", nothing about easter. also, amateurist, i too originally watched the whole series in 1990/1...when i was NINE! BOOOYAAAAAAAAAAA

meh, i think i said this on the character poll thread but rosenfeld is kinda jacked by the writers, he's a miserable grump in one episode, the next one he's a treehugging newager in the next, and back and forth depending on the way the wind is blowing. would've liked him treated with a little consistency.

i mean, he is a character with a lot of potential that got short shrift with facetime compared to Harold Smith, Dennis/Denice, and all that garbage.

I agree with Shasta, Albert was funny as a miserable curmudgeon, but the treehugger revelation made no sense in any way, as cool as his little monologue was. It felt like the whole thing was just played for cheap laughs instead of trying to keep the character consistent.

No way, it took his character to the next level. "Just because you have an unpleasant disposition and dislike people, it is no obstacle to Work."

Only really a problem if you think there is a basic inconsistency between bad personal skills and pacifism. As a pacifist who is also an asshole, I can assure you the two are not irreconcilable.

Yeah I didn't find it all out of character, especially in the context of a series by David Lynch of a town filled with a bunch of weird quirky characters. That's one of my favorite moments in the series and I usually forget about it. The other is when Major Briggs describes his dream to his son.

i think there was a conscious effort to change the personalities around in season 2. most obviously with ben and nadine but also significantly with the major and albert. the major's speech was incredible but i thought albert's speech was just inserted for laughs.
― abanana, Thursday, 29 April 2010 05:42 (fourteen years ago) link
I think the whole scene shows that even as albert says that stuff he is angry. He even sort of loosens his rough grip on truman's shoulder as he speaks and dusts him down. It's like he has to remind himself of his values or something! I didn't find it out of character at all, coop acts like he had faith in albert all along afterwards too.
That's funny btw roxy, I think albert is close to my favourite!
