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

don't have time to think about it

huh I could've sworn there was some other canonical melody in there.

The song the pianist is playing at the beginning of the scene, before he switches to the slow number that gets DougieCoop's attention, is definitely a "lounge" version of some canonical song, but I couldn't place it.

yeah that's what I was referring to

what's the deal with tobey maguire-looking deputy? he's not bad like chad but there's something off about him. he seemed helpful during the twin peaks chaos scene but then next he's busting in on truman and hawk's meeting to ask truman to look at his new car?

I love that guy, I've been hoping to see more of him since he first stood awkwardly in a doorway for too long

did anyone else find the incidental reveal of Becky's parentage and Bobby and Shelly's split sort of heartbreaking

xxp next episode we'll get ten minutes of that guy telling hawk and truman about the incredible mileage he gets from his beautiful new toyota

is he also lucy and andy's kid

joking, but he seems to have a similar tone

Yeah & a bit of a candie vibe

"lynchian"

Well yeah

Shelly's obvious rut is kinda tragic.

Very tragic, especially because her daughter is making the same mistakes.

Bobby getting super-pissed about Becky possibly being abused was p much identical to how he reacted to Leo beating Shelly

Wtf the raisin bran isn't product placement. It's there because it's so weird looking, everything else in the show being either stylish or retro or delapidated and suddenly this fuschia and bright blue thing is also in this world and in this interior designed house. It's also there because it infantilises belushi's character.

It's kind of a t"his is still the real world" moment.

Yes, and made doubly sad after noticing for the first time afterwards that Amick is credited as 'Shelly Briggs'.

Okay smart guy but what about the pabst blue ribbon thing xp

igarioalco

lol I had forgotten about the Pabst vs. Heineken thing

it's funny how that reversed itself in the larger culture over the years, Pabst became the upscale "hipster" beer and Heineken is now swill that the ignorant rubes drink

imo the raisin bran was "whoa this is the healthy brother" because he's getting his fiber

couldn't tell for sure what was in the other bowl, looked a little like corn pops

granted the hipsters are drinking PBR "ironically" but still

xp

lol PBR isn't upscale, it's still cheap (although not as)

the signifier was "working class" versus "snobbish, upper class" and that's still the marketing perception -- Heineken lost cache as some exotic foreign thing and just reads as for rubes, the modern analogue would be PBR versus some local craft brew

imo it's not ironic as much as buying the marketing that "this is unpretentious beer" despite how pretentious it is to drink something marketed as unpretentious

in any case, coffee is better. damn good.

NA OTM about the appalling Viva Las Vegas.

it was about as limp and soulless as the vegas strip actually is

TBF, I don't think anyone is capable of making 'Viva Las Vegas' anything but a garbage song.

was that the sheryl crow version or someone covering the sheryl crow version?

it was shawn colvin

setting so much of this in Vegas has been an interesting decision

guys I was referring to the very blatant Raisin Bran product placement, which is different in both nature and prominence to the randomly branded other things that appear in various shots like cars and phones.

It's like you guys have completely failed to notice that Albert's been munching Flamin' Hot Cheetos (and often exclaiming, 'Now that's flamin'!') through this entire thing.

The Viva Las Vegas cover was by Shawn Colvin. Probably the only music cue that seemed off to me in the series thus far.

I thought the other bowl was Cap'n Crunch

You guys, it was not Raisin Bran...

It was Raisin Bran Crunch, a truly tasty blend of wheat bran flakes, delicious raisins and honey-oat granola clusters makes every serving sweet, crunchy and unforgettable. Buy a 128oz container at Wal-Mart for only $12.99.

Question I thought about while eating lunch today: when Cooper was holding the box in the desert, was the pointing gun pose that the Mitchum brother who is not Jim Belushi the same as the statue outside of the insurance company?

Not the first time a Belushi has shilled for breakfast food on television.

i'm lukewarm about belushi in this but i did like the wobbly knees move he did when he saw the check

Also, any crazy theories circulating about how the champagne snapped Cooper out of it? Seems like the entire scene shifts as soon as he drinks his first sip.

I don't get what you guys are talking about - Cooper's still acting exactly the same, repeating everything people say, grabbing at their champagne glass, staring off into the distance.

Wonder if he ordered the cherry pie from the coffee shop just by pointing at the menu and having someone hand over some money.

Reposting in case anyone can untangle this, cuz it still doesn't make any sense to me:

iirc Dougie said "He's lying" in ep 5 in response to Sizemore saying that the Mitchum claim was legit, they have to pay it... yet now Dougie's drawings convinced Bushnell that was true, he wasn't lying? What am I missing here?

I don't think much/any of it was explicitly spelled out for the viewer. Dougie was making Lodge-induced doodles that happened to draw his boss's attention to particular irregularities and connect dots he hadn't connected before. I don't think it's any more complicated than that.

Why would Dougie have a moment of clarity to accuse Sizemore of lying, then have a Lodge-inspired drawing session whose results undermine that accusation?

If there's no larger significance it just seems like a really awkward way to get to where we are now.

Yeah it makes no sense - all I can think is maybe the arson case Sizemore was talking about was a different case than the Belushi Bros? Sizemore doesn't say the name Mitchum, he calls it "Littlefield". So maybe Sizemore was lying about that one, then Dougie's given all of Sizemore's case files and his doodles lead the boss to realizing that Belushi's case was wrongly called arson?

was sizemore the one calling it arson (when dougie called him a liar)? sizemore and friends are only saying dougie called it arson to get dougie killed for their crimes?

xpost I think that's it. It was part of a pattern.

Sizemore said it was legit and they had to pay it.
