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?

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
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 31 July 2017 04:47 (six years ago) link
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...
― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Monday, 31 July 2017 05:26 (six years ago) link
Jerry Horne watched it previously
― Dan I., Monday, 31 July 2017 05:27 (six years ago) link
Ah! I knew someone had, but I couldn't think who it might have been.

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.

she seemed very audrey-like to me

This episode started with a red room sequence, and we got otherworldly stuff in the form of UFO TALK so I can't imagine what people would have to complain about

one of the more meh episodes imo..grace and ben scenes being the saving grace, but felt like killing time to me
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 31 July 2017 07:19 (six years ago) link
chromatics at the end was a nice touch though
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 31 July 2017 07:21 (six years ago) link
the Audrey/husband stuff just felt unbelievable to me, i dunno
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 31 July 2017 07:23 (six years ago) link
Everything that gets singled out as not working in this episode I'm like "no that was great wtf" but I have to say as a whole it threw me
Charlie is a classic soap opera cuckold imo, & you'll be pleased to know he's almost certainly back next ep if the description is anything to go by

The Carl scene was great. I love Stanton so much. Still cannot believe that guy is in his 90s.

original audrey went undercover as a call girl to try and solve a murder, this one shrieks at her husband to go to the roadhouse with her so she doesn't have to go out at night by herself, felt like a betrayal of the character

If she has zero respect for the husband (what an odd looking guy btw), why would she ask for his assistance? It didn't really work for me

If a man was asking his wife to help him find his mistress and berating the wife for not satisfying him, thereby causing him to cheat?
― Treeship, Monday, 31 July 2017 12:05 (six years ago) link
It was an incredibly odd scene for a bunch of reasons. If this is actually a missing person situation, the police should be involved. If there is some reason the police can't be involved -- if Billy is involved in crime of some kind -- then the husband's relative, (annoying) equanimity is misplaced.
― Treeship, Monday, 31 July 2017 12:10 (six years ago) link
fair point, although it seems he didn't know she was cheating until halfway through the scene

There's just no context for any of it: we don't know who billy, charlie, chuck or tina are, what their relationships or circumstances are, we don't know where this is or even who Audrey is these days - ben doesn't seem to remember she exists (then again he fails to mention the attack on Sylvia & Johnny to frank too) and the one name we're listening for in her exchange with Charlie, Richard, doesn't come up once. There's nothing to latch on to. It's the strangest reintroduction to an old character yet, and I have no idea what they're going for with it.
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Monday, 31 July 2017 12:30 (six years ago) link
just rewatched the audrey scene and now i want to walk back my original comment. she does seem unreasonably aggressive. maybe there's something we don't know that will put it in context, but it's difficult to see how.

In the light of day...
As someone who trusts lynch in all this I can't really complain bc the first 12 hrs or whatever have been amazing. It just made me REALLY WANT NEXT SUNDAY TO BE HERE ALREADY FOR CHRIST, which I suppose makes the episode a success from a craft pov. Knowing we had gone this long w/o Audrey made me want her to not show up @ all (even though she would) bc our current TP world is already so rich. Whatever tho! All the things that people have pointed out are pretty otm.

And wrt Fenn's usage as a fuck you to Fenn -- I think Lynch has plenty of time to fuck with people but wouldn't entertain bringing someone in just to spite them. MJA was just written out/around/dream-imaged out of existence.
― ein Sexmonster (Jimmy The Mod Awaits The Return Of His Beloved), Monday, 31 July 2017 12:40 (six years ago) link
It occurred to me tonight that maybe Ashley Judd was cast as Audrey initially and then they shifted the part once Fenn got on board.

So there's something wrong in Twin Peaks. Maybe something wrong in the world. It could be the Black Lodge seeping out into the world, a garmonbozia plague, illicit BOB drugs, a space-time continuum fractured by Annie's message to Laura. Sarah Palmer senses it, a wrongness, overlapping valences, one reality overtaking another. Violent and erratic behavior is becoming the norm, people are behaving counter to their established personalities, jerky is made of turkey now. It will take a reconstituted Dale and Laura to heal the rift and purge the infection and blanket the world with beneficence. Something like that.
Can't believe Big Ed still hasn't shown up.

yeah twin peaks (the town) is definitely a basket case. too many familiar characters are having a shit time.

emily stephens at the av club said this about audrey:
Audrey has suffered in the 26 years since we’ve seen her, if her son’s behavior to his grandmother is anything to judge by. ... Audrey knows about people going missing, too: Laura Palmer and Ronette Pulaski both “went missing” while they were all in high school together, Audrey herself was held for ransom at One Eyed Jacks, and she presumably knows about Cooper’s disappearance… and possibly, to her sorrow, about his return as Dark Coop.
