did this episode have the longest stretch of no MacLachlan at all...? Felt like we went something like 30 or 40 minutes before there was a scene with him in it, felt unusual.
high point of the episode for me was by far the sequence in Buckhorn with Cole waving his arms around at the air, dude's head getting crushed, creepy black lodge ghosts flitting about, the headless body. I find myself wondering a fair amount about where the Major's head is, when Dougie showed up with that box I was like "oh shit no"

My favourite bit of the ep might have been Dougie getting led into Bushnell's office with a cup of coffee just out of reach.
Seen a lightened version of the Woodsmen Gordon sees through the vortex and the paper on the wall seems to be the same as in the picture on Laura's wall in FWWM that Mrs Tremayne comes through the door in.
Haven't looked on dugpa yet but surely someone has lipread Diane and backformed the coordinates on the corpse from there.

Having him go into the middle of nowhere with a head-sized box read to me like more fucking with the viewers, or at least the ones who have seen a certain David Fincher movie

I like the theory that Diane isn't working with Bad Cooper but instead working against him and not being up front about it to Cole/Albert. Furthermore, the suggestion that Tammy may be untrustworthy due to her denial of seeing the man near the car.
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 24 July 2017 22:06 (seven years ago) link
yeah interesting divide on who did/didn't see things there. Not clear if Diane saw anything.
― Οὖτις, Monday, 24 July 2017 22:08 (seven years ago) link
Might be important that when Bushnell says "dead" to Dougie, Dougie squishes his face and repeats "dead" just like Booper did when he killed Jack outside the garage.
Speaking of which, I need to rewatch the vortex scene - when they pull up at the farm (or is it The Farm?) you can see some buildings in the back beyond where Albert and Gordon see the Woodsman. They looked awful like the selfsame garages.
Diane clearly sees the Woodsman on his way to the car. No idea why she says she saw him getting out though.
― Thomas Gabriel Fischer does not endorse (aldo), Monday, 24 July 2017 22:11 (seven years ago) link
The Woodsman phases in and out, I don't think there's any mystery to Tammy not seeing him. She's not looking in the same place when Albert and Gordon see him and she's over with the corpse when Diane sees him.
― Thomas Gabriel Fischer does not endorse (aldo), Monday, 24 July 2017 22:13 (seven years ago) link
or is it The Farm?
it is not. the Farm is where Roth/JJL were iirc
― Οὖτις, Monday, 24 July 2017 22:13 (seven years ago) link
I thought The Farm was where Booper was supposed to be going before he got shot, and he met Roth somewhere else? Maybe I'm misremembering when it got mentioned.

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?
No no no no no. It's like this: there are two ledgers because one is doctored to make it look like the mill is going bankrupt so that when Catherine and ben burn it down it will look like Josie did it to collect the insurance but actually Josie is in on burning down the mill only with Catherine in it because Josie took out an insurance policy on Catherine so Josie and ben will collect the insurance money on both Catherine and the mill while blaming Catherine for the fire using the phony ledger as evidence of her fraud(?) but Catherine gets wind of this and

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 piano song has one part that resembles the verse melody of Sub-Culture, but it seems a stretch to say it's a cover.

So does this tie into the increasing likelihood she's not just a space cadet, she's a Lodge Spirit like Dougie?
The lady in the traffic ranting at Bobby was very reminiscent of Mike shouting at Leland when they're stuck behind the truck in FWWM and she was desperate to get to a dinner she was late for, and to see people she hadn't seen in several years: "Around the dinner table the conversation is lively."

having her do the spaced-out thing right behind dale felt like deliberate blocking to me. it could be a red balloon herring though.

has it been mentioned that some feel Candie is Laura's Lodge version. Not sure what I think of that tbh
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 06:02 (seven years ago) link
Why do more scenes of her acting like a space cadet increase the likelihood she isn't one?

"Traffic on the street... Cars everywhere" came after the crash outside the RR and Bobby's interaction with the car occupants.
