second favorite moment was Ben saying "Miriam... I forgot her last name". (re: Chad poaching TPPD mail)

honestly surprised a lot of people didn't get into this episode. the gordon/french lady scene is the hardest i've ever laughed at twin peaks, so much so that i was crying and sliding off the sofa. the entire audrey scene seemed to be mark frost satirising his own efforts to hide critical details from the audience (imo scenes like this highlight just how maturely developed this show is). sarah in the supermarket was a gorgeous set piece, right down to the brilliant sound design. seeing ben and frank interact over something so devastating was a perverse delight. jerry does one more weird thing in his mini-subplot which by now is surely going to factor heavily into the overall plot. and we know more about blue rose!
also, theories about there being two miriams were spot on. ben even alludes directly to it.
btw everyone (not necessarily ilx) who thought dale was coming back, again, for the sixth or seventh time now, should have known this episode would feature him being a zombie again. no surprise at all. imo that scene was only in this episode so maclachlan would get a screen credit. and did an owl fly over his house in the establishing shot?

I forgot to note, did frank say "Sullivan"? Xp

I'm not surprised. There were people complaining about episode 8! Their loss.

Charlie looked like he might be the man Bad Cooper talks to in the glass box photo?

The pacing is becoming the most grotesque feature...
Lynch directing each character spending 20 seconds of pauses between each line of dialogue, or ~10 mins of Ferrer staring at people.

/honestly surprised a lot of people didn't get into this episode./I'm not surprised. There were people complaining about episode 8! Their loss.
Using "let's rock!" as the description for the "long, confusing conversations" episode was a masterful bit of misdirection - I think the people who were the most pissed off were waiting for the drop

I'll admit I did feel some disappointment while watching the episode after the sheer intensity of the previous episode (Gordon opening to the cosmos has been haunting me all week to the point where I feel like I am Gordon opening to the cosmos), and it felt like Lynch was trolling, but I find myself admiring the episode more and more.
And even if everything else was useless, the Hawk/Sarah/fan scene would be more than worth it. And there's Carl being so wonderful, and Gordon worrying about Albert, and Ben and Frank talking, and the bit of Blue Rose exposition, and Audrey being back, and the sheer excruciating slowness of some of it...

The repeat of the amp/nadine material was strange. Thought for sure we'd see ed

The music used in Sarah's near-breakdown scene was the FWWM black lodge score iirc.

― The Marmadook (latebloomer), Monday, 31 July 2017 03:57 (six years ago) link
It made me think of Laura's "long gone, like a turkey in the corn" line before she leaves James to head into the fatal woods in FWWM, although Sarah wasn't present in that scene.

there's more! the music that plays just before diane says "let's rock" is exactly the same piece of music that plays in fwwm when dale sees "let's rock" painted on the car windscreen in lipstick. did diane go to deer meadow and write that for dale to see? holy shit.

so maybe "let's rock" was a massively important episode title after all
There was good stuff in this episode but it was my least favorite by some margin, and the first time I've felt at all irritated by the revival. The endless conversations about people who don't seem to have anything to do with anything...just...why? My main takeaway is that this ep was most illustrative of why this probably works best when viewed as an 18-hour movie where little dribbles of expository material won't seem as pointless.
I would've really loved to have seen a Cole & Rosenfield spin-off. RIP again, Miguel.

Have to admit to being mostly baffled by this episode.

I liked when Dr. Jacoby's rabid spittle sprung forth and got lodged in his beard.
Any interesting theories about all of the Roadhouse scenes/characters?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 31 July 2017 04:36 (six years ago) link
tbh I think it's just a slice of life deal. I like those scenes as lil breathers, reminders that some banal stuff is happening amidst the crazy

frank asking ben to fund uninsured miriam's life-saving operation was jaw-dropping to me as a not-american. if this show were set in canada, she'd already have had the operation on public health.

Audrey was great as a stand-in for the viewer, going insane waiting for the really long phone call to end. As soon as she said "you're not going to tell me??"I knew he wasn't going to tell her. I didn't read spoilers about how many scenes she's in, but I wouldn't be surprised if we never see her again and if Tina, chuck and billy never come up again.
Ep 12 had its moments but it was also my least favorite so far.

Wonder if Audrey's missing Billy might be the Billy from this:

nothing is definite tbh

two missing billys is highly unlikely though, even for this show
― blink truther (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 31 July 2017 04:50 (six years ago) link
Yeah, maybe my least favourite too. Nothing really wrong with it, lots of good stuff, but I don't know; it's been a long week and perhaps I just wanted some more meat?
Always good to be reminded of how remarkable an actor Zabriskie is. Such an extraordinary face.

It would be hilarious if the softball to the head is what wakes up Cooper.
― woman in the dunes, Monday, 31 July 2017 05:00 (six years ago) link
And with so few episodes left I suppose it was kind of frustrating (intentionally?) to see Lynch adding strands and treading water (to some degree)
― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Monday, 31 July 2017 05:01 (six years ago) link
This was intentionally awful. Feel like the Audrey scene was so bad specifically as a 'fuck you' to Sherilyn Fenn.
― Dan I., Monday, 31 July 2017 05:01 (six years ago) link
I worry about you scene felt like Lynch's genuine heartfelt feeling for Miguel coming alive on screen
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 31 July 2017 05:07 (six years ago) link
I don't know what to make of the Audrey scene yet but I loved the rest of the episode. Especially the Sarah stuff.
Huge lols at Diane flashing back to seeing the coordinates on Ruth's arm and then just saying "Co-or-din-ates...plus 2" when entering them into her phone.
― woman in the dunes, Monday, 31 July 2017 05:08 (six years ago) link
Ah yeah this episode was all over the place. The Sarah Palmer stuff was great - Ben Horne scene and Audrey's as well seemed to go on for fucking ever, though. Loved Gordon and his date stuff as well as anything with Diane but overall this felt, for the first time, like a very random assemblage of scenes.

Is anyone else watching Jacoby's programme? I wonder if it could be role-played therapy for Nadine...

we had some brilliant visionary stuff in parts 1, 2, 3 and 8, but this is the fourth episode in a row without anything magnificent or red-roomy happening (apart from gordon's brief swirly-sky moment last week), so maybe people are starting to feel a bit dry. dale only got 20 seconds of screen time too, which i reckon would have upset a lot of people.
i'm also seeing people complain about audrey being whiny, which is fucked. she's justifiably furious because her husband (a) is being a dick and (b) won't help her find someone she's hugely worried about. if a guy reacted exactly the same way nobody would be calling him whiny.
