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.

rewatching bits, noticed constance and albert are at a sort of dinner table and the conversation is sort of lively. probably nothing but fuck knows what counts as not-nothing in this show.

this was a great episode imo, and also oddly v straightforward and focused

oh, and are we now to believe that Diane is in cahoots with bad cooper? and so was her reaction to him at the prison a charade?
― akm, Monday, 17 July 2017 12:58 (six years ago) link
i got the impression she's been roped into something she doesn't want a part of, so maybe historical involvement? maybe she was coerced into something? who knows
― blink truther (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 17 July 2017 13:07 (six years ago) link
Props to Kyle and Naomi for a sex scene that managed to be both funny and sweet. Definitely a sense of gathering dread here tho. The Log Lady's warnings to Hawk had the vibe of getting ready for some nasty stuff, and then the song is "No Stars." I think we can anticipate hellishness ahead.

I liked how Candie went down to the casino floor and gave Sizemore the weather report, like Lynch used to do on his website.
― sciatica, Monday, 17 July 2017 13:44 (six years ago) link
I was trying to figure out if that's really what she was saying, but then I remember the fly-swatting scene. Yeah, that was probably it.

it looked like she was down there talking about the mr jackpots day, pointing around the casino etc xp
― blink truther (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 17 July 2017 13:49 (six years ago) link
I'm sure in the grand scheme of things this episode is not much different from most of the others, but it seemed a lot more pulpy and the dialogue more ham-fisted (on purpose) for large stretches.
Sizemore's extended riff on Dougie ending with him making, for absolute sure, that they know they "have an enemy in Douglas Jones" was leaving me guessing about which party thought the other one was dumber
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 13:51 (six years ago) link
AA, that'd make sense, it'd be big news but she would know the brothers are pissed
Brad otm about the Diane situation. We're only getting bits and pieces of the last couple decades. We know she's been in contact with him at some point, but whether it was continuing to work together until she skipped out because he's evil, or if he's somehow blackmailing her with the promise the real Dale is out there, it's unclear
The other possibility, that she's still willingly working for him, seems really unlikely giving her visceral reaction back at the prison

Is Janey-E wearing the same thing every day? I feel like another shoe will drop w/ that character (Naomi has been fantastic).

before bed i just want to state the obvious about bad coop, which is that the two photos of him that we've seen (one stood in the nyc glass box room, one stood outside the big-arse mansion in the tropics) point to him being the billionaire and/or working for a billionaire
― blink truther (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 17 July 2017 14:06 (six years ago) link
nm about Janey-E's outfits, not sure why I thought that.
― Chris L, Monday, 17 July 2017 14:08 (six years ago) link
i paused and tried to see who bad cooper was talking to by the big glass box in the photo, but i couldn't tell who it was. it looked like a bald (?) guy with glasses (?) in a trenchcoat (?) in the foreground and someone else behind him
― na (NA), Monday, 17 July 2017 14:13 (six years ago) link
It looked like either Tobias Funke or a Doppelfunke.

I've gotta say, if he's an actual criminal billionaire, he is living a lot dirtier than any other billionaire
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 14:28 (six years ago) link
He doesn't have to be an actual billionaire, that's just something the NY kid heard secondhand. Seems to me you could afford the same setup with drug lord money.

we still have no idea what the Philip Jeffries connection is to any of the South American shenanigans, other than the fact it's unlikely he'll have any screen time
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 14:37 (six years ago) link
rather, we don't know anything about how that'll play out other than Bowie likely not showing up
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 14:38 (six years ago) link
It was implied during Dooper's conversation with him that it may not have been the real Phillip Jeffries, for whatever that's worth.
― Dippin' Sauce on my Nice New Slacks (Old Lunch), Monday, 17 July 2017 14:40 (six years ago) link
The supposed story is the bad Cooper was "working undercover" with Jeffries, but whether that's in any way true is yet to be seen. If Jeffries didn't go rogue, then maybe Mr. C snuffed him years ago. I'm wondering if the bullshit about working undercover was a way he lured Diane into things, only for her to realize too late that it wasn't real.
― mh, Monday, 17 July 2017 14:43 (six years ago) link
When Evil Cooper thinks he's speaking to Jeffries their conversation goes something like:NOT JEFFRIES: I missed you in New York, you're still in South Dakota?EC: Yes, and you're still nowhere, is that correct?
"nowehere" could mean a lot of things up to and including not resembling Bowie anymore. The New York things seems to confirm EC is involved w/ the glass box and the Experiment might be the thing on the playing card that he says he's after.
― Chris L, Monday, 17 July 2017 15:01 (six years ago) link
I'm reasonably sure that was the real Jeffries right up until David Bowie died, then they threw in the line hinting that it might be an imposter and made him/not him more of a phantom presence. How they'll resolve it I've no idea, though.

A month ago I'd have been like "that's a Linda, not necessarily the Linda", but that sort of wrongfooting the audience isn't really happening, perhaps surprisingly (still think the Diane thing might be an exception)

there was some good stuff in this episode but it was the first time an episode felt like it was treading water imo - explicitly connecting a few dots, reiterating certain character beats/traits, but not much else
― Οὖτις, Monday, 17 July 2017 15:19 (six years ago) link
Here's something I could be completely wrong about: the actor Scott Coffey who was in Mulholland Dr and Inland Empire as the voice of one of the rabbits is in the announced cast list but hasn't appeared yet. The voice Cooper's talking to in the motel room sorta sounds like his in the scene in IE where the audio gets a little distorted and he says "It was the man in the green coat..." (I've seen IE 4 times and just rewatched it earlier this year lol). Whoever or whatever Jeffries is now, that guy could be portraying him/it.

I thought he looked a little bigger than Moby, but then I think Moby was weirdly in the cast list and not just in the usual musicians' credits so maybe.

The fly swatting scene was a master class in telegraphing a punchline and then dragging it out to a ridiculous length before finally delivering.
