Peggy Lipton's ability to just cast a warm glow over a scene is really something
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 24 July 2017 04:19 (six years ago) link
Having watched 11 parts of this show I'd be more skeptical that any shot footage was left on the cutting room floor.

She casts a warm glow over me and I'm a poof.

this episode just LOOKED SO FUCKING GOOD, didn't it? It was, like .... burnished???

Random thoughts:
Shelley riding Becky's hood was a straight TJ Hooker moment, biggest LOL of the series.
I assumed the puking kid was another victim of Twin Peaks superdrugs.
Of course Shelley's dating the source of said superdrugs and the biggest psycho in town.
Norma's main purpose in the show is to shoot disapproving looks at Shelley and family every few minutes.

Sorry to ask question after question but does Bobby know/suspect that Red is the drugs man in town or is he only thrown by the fact that Shelly is in a relationship with someone else?

Also, there are lots of victims, dead bodies, and missing body parts lying in the weeds of vacant lots in Lynch's world.

i mean for all we know he could be driving to the cherry pie shop for more cherry pie, muttering "cherry pie" the whole way xp
But I mean we know it isn't gonna be that - you know that, right?
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Monday, 24 July 2017 04:32 (six years ago) link
honestly i don't. i was exaggerating with the cherry pie thing obv, but dale driving a car + dale turning his head to look at something aren't really conclusive evidence that he'll be 100% proper dale again.
― blink truther (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 July 2017 04:34 (six years ago) link
like, he might be 25% dale by the time we get to those shots, who knows
― blink truther (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 24 July 2017 04:35 (six years ago) link
The footage will be in it. This show is billed as "Dale Cooper's odyssey back to twin peaks". That'll happen. I don't see it happening without him being compos mentis in some form or another. Whether he's "100% Dale" is another question (and not a dealbreaker for me either way tbh)

Btw this episode makes about 5 minutes of the doppelgänger in the last 3 hours

its hilarious to me that James may only have that one scene where he doesn't even speak (iirc)
― I'm make-believe. (jed_), Monday, 24 July 2017 04:44 (six years ago) link
I think he said something like "told ya it was a cool place" & the guy with him said "yeah it's the dogs bollocks m8"

I also think we'll see them both again

Took a look at Dugpa and someone suggests Dougie is reacting to D-sharp in that last scene -- apparently the same pitch as the hum in the Great Northern Hotel... "listen to the sounds"?

for some reason the honking was even more disturbing to me, or at least just as much. it was all disturbing. i don't know why i had it turned up on the headphones. O_O

Any ideas about the fast panning shot down the corridors and stairs after Becky fires the shots though the door?

The limo drive through Vegas was such a gorgeous sequence, random "viva Las Vegas" cover and all. Just gonna note again how cheekily lazy the music choices seem on paper, from Penderecki to the many overused instrumental hits to the first YouTube hit for "old school hip hop beat"
xp it was a great shot, I know that much

Zombie girl an echo of Becky, lurching around as if possessed, spewing bile on her mother.

Credit to Amy shiels, she brings the right amount of Lynch weird to that role. In lesser hands it would just be annoying

i assumed it was showing us they were downstairs but in a disorientating this-place-is-creepy sort of way, in line with the anxiety building through the whole first half hour.

…fwiw i'm less inclined to look for ~clues~ that i was in earlier weeks, more than happy for gordon to announce their meaning loudly in a later episode. in six weeks we'll have all the answers! (frost's next book notwithstanding)

next week's title is promising. i won't post it here but it can't not be significant, even if it's said by an extra.

For those keeping track of such things, that brief promo clip of Cole juddering about that people had asserted was a sign of his impending evil-dom was taken from this episode.

Am I alone in having strange dreams after watching this, pretty much every week? It's amazingly consistent. I woke up this morning positive that I'd figured out the grand design of the show's cosmology. Something involving a baby deer and three Lodge spirits who had taken the forms of Supergirl, Andy Warhol, and Charles Starkweather.
― The miniaturized human skeleton in Martin Short's stool (Old Lunch), Monday, 24 July 2017 13:25 (six years ago) link
Cooper's a kind of magician now (using the term very loosely), channeling the synchronicity and dream logic of the lodge(s) to his advantage. Like a white-hat version of Red, maybe.

Kid staring Bobby down was of course dressed identically to his dad, and holding an exact mirror image of his dad's pose. And zombie kid felt like an Eraserhead nod - "oh, you ARE sick," baby instantly swarms in pustules.

maybe we'll get classic cooper, maybe not, but for me the ongoing transition from dougie as annoyance to everyone around to him to dougie as obscure force of beatific goodness has already been a fun narrative to follow.
the entire scene of bobby investigating the gunshot was a helluva ride.

this episode definitely felt the most like the original run and was helped by fewer excruciatingly long scenes where nothing happens. It felt brisk and fast paced.
― akm, Monday, 24 July 2017 13:51 (six years ago) link
it even had a proper ending that relaxed into itself

the scene where the boss lays out the entire insurance scheme while dougie just sits there and gets all the credit was like the epitome of dougieness
