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

I think it's more about allowing her to think that she's on the inside while they monitor her activities.

my theory which is probably already disprovable is that philip jeffries is texting her

Gordon literally said, "Let's keep her close" after learning about her contacts with Mr. C.

I think the fact the most recent episode was relatively mundane threw me off because I think I had a fever and I couldn't tell if it was mundane, or if I was just really out of it and tuned in

how sad is Dougie getting hit with a baseball, though?

Agree that Diane working with Jeffries (or whoever has taken over for him) is a good bet. When the "Around the dinner table" text was posted on that "Commercials I Hate" site, it appeared twice, with the alternate text case seen on the show, so that was no accident.

that scene was hilarious

agree that Ben's scene was also fantastic, I love Beymer so much

xp

Beymer is endlessly fascinating to watch. I do like that they've kept him nostalgically self-absorbed, slightly oblivious to his family, trying to buy his way to a clear conscience, just as at the end of s2 - he's recognisably still that person and yet we buy that he's a decent guy now, just an imperfect one

Ben trapped behind a desk is emblematic I guess of the shift from the original series to this one in terms of direction and what Lynch will allow the actors to do. The scene in the original where Leland appears in his office singing Mairzy Oats and Ben and Jerry spontaneously start dancing around the room has a fluidity and joy that's pretty hard to imagine happening this season. Everything's stilted and static and mime-y which is obviously a deliberate decision but it gets tiring when there's no contrast, in the last ep in particular. I wonder if Dougie's dilemma might be less tiresome for some viewers if everyone didn't seem to be afflicted with a less-intense version of his same condition (but then MacLachlan also seems to be much better at this style of acting here than most others).

One of the joys of the original series is seeing all of these half-forgotten classic Hollywood actors coming back and just letting rip. That's all been absorbed now into the cult of Lynch; everyone's too deferential.

idk about that, they're also y'know *really* old. Harry Dean's been great in all his scenes, and Zabriskie also brought it in the last episode. Russ Tamblyn is totally chewing the scenery in his Dr. Amp bits. Plenty of examples like this throughout,.

Harry Dean Stanton's character is probably my favorite character in the Return.

Also beymer's physicality was v prominent in the scenes with the hum (although no, no soft-shoe) xp

I can't be the only one who, during Ben's reminiscence, expected to see flashback footage of Jerry and the hook rug girl lying on a bunkbed and waving flashlights at a young Ben as he rode his bike in circles around his bedroom.

Zabriskie was just sensational in that last episode. hopefully she'll be popping up more frequently for the rest of it.

the liquor and cigarette grocery shopping is one of the most depressing things yet

What's in her kitchen?

Are the men who are coming dirty & bearded?

It just occurred to me that Sarah might be watching horrifically-graphic nature documentaries in an attempt to understand and make sense of her own life.

if you're that deep into a nicotine and alcohol habit you're just staring through the television

"What's in her kitchen?"

actually I thought about this more and decided it was probably just the kid from the store who said he knew where she lived and offered to deliver her bottles. I think it's less likely she's hiding some kind of 'evil' in her house and more likely, she's hiding her drinking problem from Hawk.

although I dunno maybe there are charcoal woodsmen running all over her living room having a cocktail party, nothing would surprise me at this point

Also beymer's physicality was v prominent in the scenes with the hum (although no, no soft-shoe)

Yeah i didn't express myself clearly, but I was trying to point out what a lovely scene this was, and how I'd like more of along these lines.

Otis I'm making more of a stylistic distinction (or at least trying to) than a qualitative one, and the examples you give don't really contradict it...

Anyway, yes Zabriskie was amazing and def the best thing about the last ep.

Hadn't considered this. I'll buy it, sad as it is

Yeah I got chills when Grace was in the show, just as when she appeared in Inland Empire as the visitor from the brick house.

Wins OTM about TP cancellation

Actually I partially take that back, since Harry Dean definitely seems to be doing his own thing here. His scenes are really resonating with people and I think it's the fact that he's less held by the Lynch straight jacket as much as his kindness.

I rewatched the interview with him on the Repo Man DVD recently and he's such a nut, it's easy to see how he and Lynch have been friends (presumably) for so long; also easy to imagine them fighting like brothers.

What was nutty about him?

I was at a post-Inland Empire Q&A w/ Lynch where he said HDS is the funniest person he's ever met, and recounted how one time HDS was telling him and a couple of others stories at a bar that had them dying laughing.

the disappearing black sooty man by Ruth's body and that was noticed by Gordon and Diane is similar to the one that vanished into dust in the jail cell in ep 1 or 2

did you skip episode 8 or something

Harsh but correct response

What did I miss? Something obviously

About half the episode.

episode 8 literally features dozens of those guys and gives pretty clear indications of their origins and roles

I've seen one of these guys before but I just can't put my finger on it.... hmm

Oh when they revive Coop, yeah

and also the guy who crushed people's skulls

v similar to what happened to shaggy when he was in the police car...

Ah right! That was the Penderecki episode

Are the men who are coming dirty & bearded?

people are claiming the supermarket she was in is basically a convenience store (not sure if this has been mentioned here).

^ yeah, as an extension of that i've heard she was inhabited during the freak out scene

"were you here when they arrived?"

first arrived*

ah fuck it's "were you here when they first came"

my bad

it did have a flavour of possession. zabriskie's performance is incredible.

Slightly agog at the idea of anyone watching this having to be reminded of the existence of that totally forgettable episode 8.

remember the dirty bearded man at the morgue or hospital or w/e

i figured she meant FBI men

also i thought she was looking at the "albatross" label on the jerky

"people are claiming the supermarket she was in is basically a convenience store (not sure if this has been mentioned here)."

that seems like a convenient explanation but I don't buy it.

I'd say it checks out
