Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

that was an excellent ...part

i didn't really like candy

candie was great. now I feel bad for talking shit about amy shiels.

although my favorite part of this episode was rebekah del rio's song, that was fucking staggering. she is so good.

MOBY

candie is my favorite character on this show

but this show also has gordon cole

Candie rules, i love space cadets

everyone who has theories about time fuckery in this season: i think lucy shares your theory

the question that keeps me coming back is, when will richard horne get supermurdered

I know this is weird but I thought Rebekah del Rio was Sherilyn Fenn

That certainly is weird.

AA, you are OTM re: Clockwork Orange parallels in Richard's home invasion. I was thinking the same thing. Can't wait until he's ultramegahellamurdered.

Rebekah Del Rio!!!! That song was really beautiful, written by Lynch and Neff. I was hLf expecting her to collapse and for the song to continue playing nonetheless.

This was great. Mr. C in the penthouse!

yay, it wasn't just me! more than a couple of kubrick nods in this show then xp

her zig-zag dress in front of the curtains was incredibly waiting-roomy

is everyone just pretending moby wasn't playing in that band

all bald white men with glasses look the same

I did not realize that Moby was playing in that band. Just...what.

So! What the eff was up with Gordon seeing Laura when Albert showed up?!?!

This one was the biggest bummer so far. Richard and his Satanic evil amplify the already extreme brute, pulp violence that Lynch favors but that is one of my least favorite aspects of his work.

The other musicians weren't credited? I take it one was John Neff?

A+ episode. I felt like this one really nailed the old Twin Peaks vibe of combining dark brutality with lots of oddly humorous scenes.

i got clockwork vibes as well but Lynch referencing Kubrick seems unintentional to me

"is everyone just pretending moby wasn't playing in that band"

yeah I wasn't really looking at the band here

Also that Laura clip was kind of weird

So Richard Horne has to be Audrey's son, right?

Also I'm very curious as to whom EvilCoop was talking to in that photo.

moby

unless johnny somehow had a kid there's no other explanation. pretty sure the secret history mentions something about there only being johnny and audrey in the horne family. together with doc hayward's comment about bad coop "visiting" audrey in hospital 25 years ago, it's all pointing to richard being the demon spawn of bad coop (most likely BOB) and audrey.

the show is slowly but firmly moving from series-of-mysteries to series-of-facts, even with new mysteries being thrown on the pile ever so often (e.g. the log lady's brand new stream of riddles)

*every so often

This was one of the more succinct and straightforward episodes so far.

log lady scenes hit me hard

I thought this episode was spectacular and quite relentless; it also felt the most like the old Twin Peaks so far (with dread arising both from the various instances of violence and from Laura appearing outside Gordon's room and then Tammy arriving in portentous slow motion). It also struck me as one of the more ~problematic~ ones in its depiction of women so far.

Good episode but...

#1: I heard a few moments of Auto-Tune on Rebekah Del Rio, was there someone in the band live processing (or using a vocoder)?

#2: Not sure I buy into Dr. Jacoby morphing from a chill aloha-bro who loves golf to this piss and vinegar Howard Beale... without some sort of back-story or prompting at least.

There was def autotune, I think she was just miming in classic twin peaks/mulholland dr fashion

Although voices & instruments being processed as if by magic is an established thing in this world, if you think back to one of the greatest scenes in the original (James singing in the living room)

Dancing OTM with the problematic depiction of women in this ep

I heard directly from David Lynch that the final episode of Twin Peaks will be all Moby

i always think "i bet that's the last time i'll ever think about moby", and then about a year later, there he is again

I clocked all the dudes in her band but they just looked like dudes in a band, then I saw the moby credit as "musician" and I was like I bet he was one of those dudes but I couldn't tell you which one

the bald white guy with the glasses, or maybe the other bald white guy with the glasses

the one playing guitar

(sussed by a bald dude who has worn glasses)

the question that keeps me coming back is, when will richard horne get supermurdered

Only one woman for the job imo - filicide, baby!

Killing Miriam, choking his grandma & then calling her a cunt, threatening to rape his mentally ill uncle: hate to say it but this guy was more sympathetic when he was flattening that kid. Conversely belushi's menace dissipated as soon as he had more than a few lines.

As fun as Albert on a date & other light relief is, once again what saves this from being just oppressively bleak is Carl & Margaret's rueful empathy; that roadhouse performance was only missing an ancient waiter saying "I'm so sorry" to a crying Bobby

Maybe i was just feeling cranky by then because this episode was a big let down for me, but man I did not enjoy that rebekah del rio song at all. It was way too oversung with nothing interesting going on there. I kept waiting for sky ferreira's character to come back but i was disappointed.

In contrast, that little bit with carl singing on his guitar was such a charming offhand moment.

Loved the R. Del Rio song. She also sang the song in Mulholland Dr., the one where the performer falls down and the singing continues.

I know that technically wouldn't have been his grandma if so, but...what if Richard is Donna's son?

Not my fave episode by a long shot. The stuff with the mobsters and Candie went on too long and was unfunny. Dug the Gordon hotel scene. Dougie stuff was mainly ehh but Naomi Watts really gorg when she plays "flirty". Overall though way too choppy and all over the place.

Besides Audrey, is Big Ed the only original series regular who hasn't made an appearance yet? It occurred to me that Margaret's conversation with Hawk presages the return of the Bookhouse Boys, which would mean we're likely to see him soon, not to mention more James.

Sadly, the actor who played Joey Paulson does not appear to be in the new series.

Yeah the autotune in that Del Rio song was off-putting. I keep expecting Lana Del Rey to appear in an episode but maybe that's too obvious.

Speaking of characters who deserve to get supermurdered - CHAD
