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

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)

its hilarious to me that James may only have that one scene where he doesn't even speak (iirc)

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"

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

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

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.

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

Dougie definitely has a Being There thing going on
Cooper wandering through Dougie's life and magically cleaning up all these situations with the influence of the lodge spirits seems like a great karmic rebalancing for all the ills the bad Cooper has been doing over the last couple decades. It's wild because to us, he just seems like he's the ball in this universal game of Pong, getting bounced between work and home, but he's taken an assassin off the board, fixed lives, made friends.
Belushi's character was the most obvious intervention by the lodge spirits we've be explicitly told about, right? The fact they gave him a dream that exactly outlined what he'd see, and then guided Cooper into the shop to get the pie, seems like they're not fucking around.

I figure Coop will finally snap out of his fugue state when the Mitchum brothers, in a show of gratitude, present him with a rack full of furs.

I'm just old enough to remember Belushi attempting to anchor the next Twin Peaks in the early 90s with Wild Palms.

Eh, Belushi's been fine but I doubt anyone is going to be seeking him out on the basis of his TP work. I'm trying to think of actors who's likely to see an upswing in their careers as a result of their participation in this. MacLachlan might start getting meatier film roles again. Hell, Lynch may be the biggest acting revelation.
