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

This James at the roadhouse thing is everything I ever hoped for

Now it's a boxing match again.

lol fuck I almost cried laughing during the Roadhouse scene

Great episode. And what a way to start it -- I guess when you get sandwich scene/Hornes dancing scene vibes within the first few seconds you know something good's coming up. Evil Cooper in Montana was incredible.

I wonder if Audrey slipped into another reality a la Major Briggs after her encounter with Evil Cooper

oh god i love this show

me too, i laughed so suddenly i burst into a dumb coughing fit.

fwiw i didn't buy into the audrey-coma-dream theories at all, but it really looked that way this time.

and i loooooove how they staged the arm wrestling, with mr c assuming absolute power to the extent that he's dicking with his opponent and everyone in the room. i've never seen anything like that before.

in terms of sheer inventiveness, imo this show is doing to television what super mario 64 did to gaming.

I thought James Marshall was a musician in real life. How could he blatantly flub the chords like that?

Loved the Fusco Bros tossing the actual key to the mystery in the trash can

on that scene, i'm guessing the actors had no idea a physical fight had broken out in the next room (i.e. it wasn't in the script), so their nonchalance acting was really just two minutes of lynch-directed sitting and looking around

i mean... and i don't want to conflate thread topics, but today australia is watching its government kick every gay person in the face, and it was such a delight to escape to the twin peaks universe just for an hour

The scene with Sonny Jim's gym set was so beautiful.
Seems like a nicer backyard than this other Lynch backyard:

the spotlight was... interesting

my cable was glitching out and i kept wondering if it was intentional

also norma's boyfriend is so 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Yeah. It also explains the dual RR diner scenes at the end of ep. 7. One was "reality" the other with the dude running in asking if anyone had seen Billy was in Audrey's dream or whatever.

also... who was in the boxing match sarah was watching on loop?

Battlin bud

This was fucking perfect, I was beaming so much at points. Original "just you" a top 10 twin peaks scene obv so that was delightful

Confess.

Yeah. It also explains the dual RR diner scenes at the end of ep. 7. One was "reality" the other with the dude running in asking if anyone had seen Billy was in Audrey's dream or whatever.

whoa holy shit you are definitely onto something

Sarah Palmer's in fucking purgatory. Good god. I felt like I was losing my mind after just a couple minutes of that skipping record of a boxing match. Whoever mentioned upthread that she's just staring right through the tv was otm.

There's definitely something...otherworldly going on with Audrey.

The music at the beginning was out of control.

Charlie seems less sleepy and more sinister now

That weird digital crackling sound during the Sarah Palmer scene was very unsettling.

LOL me too. I unironically love that song btw.

"You said you were going but now it looks like you're staying" is straight Cowboy level menace

Uh the first part of that shouldn't have been in italics

Yeah. It also explains the dual RR diner scenes at the end of ep. 7. One was "reality" the other with the dude running in asking if anyone had seen Billy was in Audrey's dream or whatever.

Yeah, reading this interpretation was pretty much the first time I took the coma theory seriously. Though it's all really inscrutable (and, indeed, menacing) at this point.
Just read in the Dugpa thread for this episode that Sky Germany apparently accidentally showed/made available? Episode 14, so umm beware of spoilers and don't post them in here and all that

*heads to dugpa*

Lol they keep doing that

Richard in Montana!

i was expecting richard to appear for some reason, but when he actually did i was completely surprised. this show keeps doing that to me.

(in montana i mean)

Also if audrey is in a coma that lends some credence to Richard = Donna

I thought that's where he might be hiding out when I saw the establishing shot but once I saw bad Dale show up I assumed not xp

I think some people are gonna go nuts over the fact that the scene in the diner puts this as the same day they found Briggs's message

I still think richard is Audrey's but Donna did appear this episode

You can still give birth while in a coma

^^dont read that unless you really need convincing

Yeah I know it's POSSIBLE but that seems like a lot of plot at this point in the story if Audrey is still in a coma. To me, anyway...

Audrey's situation does recall dreams/nightmares where you constantly talk/think about doing something or going somewhere but it never gets around to you doing it. I think it's just as likely she's cracking up due to trauma and has an awful gaslighting husband though

Series is going to end with Dougie still Dougie and the Bookhouse Boys on their way to Jack Rabbit Palace.

last line of episode 18 will be audrey: "is this a dream?"

Carel Struycken is a Dutchman btw

The kids last name would not be Horne if he was Donna's. She never would have taken her biological father's name or given it to her kid. Xp

The looped boxing footage and timeline abnormality in the diner with Bobby are significant I think. The moorings of reality are fracturing somehow, I think; time is coming apart.

that's probably what the reverse-blinking stuff is too, not specific clues so much as vague indications that time/reality is all over the place

is it... fhyuuuuutyuuuuure

Honestly I think the script was probably linear and lynch is shuffling things around in the edit based on what fits best in each hour

Either that or Dougie made a quick trip back from his evening with the Mitchum brothers for a quick game of 'catch' with Sonny Jim.

yeah that was conspicuous to the point of being absurd

Exactly - that scene fit best in the episode that had a lot of stuff about fathers and sons & lynch cares more about that sort of thing than linear storytelling, unsurprisingly
