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

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

The eerily looped boxing match though

Something is happening with time.

Don't think Audrey is still in a coma because in ep 12 Ben doesn't say "Richard never had a mother and father" he just says "Richard never had a father."

Yeah. Also the husdband dude is weird but he doesn't seem like a lodge entity to me.

The theory that she is doing some kind of weird therapy is more plausible to me.

Something is happening with time.

Always is.

The editing with the ring seemed to be suggesting that the Philip masquerading as Jeffries is in fact the other one

If Bowie shows up I am going to cry.

Probably not really because I don't really cry anymore, which kind of troubles me, but still.

Not even at Janey finally getting a non-terrible car to drive?

Sadly

I cry at everything nowadays

sonny jim really knows how to utilize a playset

I'm surprised no one mentioned Nadine and Doc Jacobi's budding romance and lonely Big Ed.

Loved all that stuff. I have a feeling we'll leave ed the way we found him.

Read the Bocko review of this ep, I think I agree that there won't be any major plot shifts in the next 3 parts

Now that we've seen Ed and the gas farm I remembered that the two people who were put to sleep by the Woodsman in New Mexico (aside from the young woman who ate the frog cicada) were a diner waitress and an auto mechanic...

the TV audio loop in Grace's scene captured the hopelessness of going down the substance abuse rabbit hole

nice

I almost burst into tears just at Big Ed inviting Bobby to sit at the booth

and yeah something about the form of this episode gave me the vague sense (or strengthened the sense) that nothing 'big' is going to happen for a while, and i think having that sense allowed me to just delight in each individual scene

Is nobody but me excited by Bad Coop's world intersecting with Dougie's via Tom Sizemore's phone call to Mr Todd? Or has that connection already happened and I missed it?

Mr Todd told Sizemore to tell the Mitchum bros dougie was their enemy several episodes ago

When we cut to the POV from ed's booth, did Walter say something like "stop looking at what's-his-name" in the background or did I imagine that?

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

... she did?

(In the photo in the Palmer lounge)

Ah thx

Btw did anyone else read the crackling sound each time the boxing footage looped as 'electricity' being generated by violence?

I didn't, but it is perhaps significant that all Sarah Palmer seems to watch (or look right past) on TV are scenes of violence.

LIKE ALL OF AMERICA. HMMMMM.

Great episode. Arm wrestling scene was badass

"it's more comfortable if we assume starting positions"

which is why, when the Mitchums actually visit his office, he hilariously hides under his desk

lots of humor this episode

I kept thinking "wow, what a bunch of dude types" at the whole gang Ray is hiding out with, while wondering about the single meticulous-looking man wearing a suit jacket. "hmm, is that guy the accountant or something?"

and then he asks Cooper if he needs any money, so yeah!

the big lad who got his face caved in had quite the physiognomy.

someone upthread mentioned mr c's supreme power play of dicking with everyone in the room during the arm wrestling contest. this was obviously a big part of it and what i (and probably everyone) expected before it started, but the way he actually did it (e.g. the "it's more comfortable if we assume starting positions") struck me more as showing something much more unsettling about how inscrutable mr c's motivations and desires actually are

ha i forgot about the accountant randomly showing up during the randy confrontation, that was amazing
and yes the music during the opening conga line scene was insane

i am personally skeptical that there's any time fuckery going on here aside from lynch editing stuff together the way he wants to instead of being directly linear, but if you want to give in to the other perspective, i think this is a mildly interesting point/theory: http://ew.com/tv/2017/08/06/twin-peaks-insurance-man/

xp he's also possessed by a malicious being that deals with other human beings by toying with them like a kid pulling the legs off of crickets with the intention of seeing what causes them more emotional stress

i hear this ep was turrible

lol no

I thought it was very Twin Peaks-y

i hear this ep was turrible

Something screwy is happening with time...

definitely a quality ep

Sonny Jim on the playground, arm wrestling, that maddening/distressing scene of Sarah watching TV, James, Big Ed...

get a woman who looks at you the way janey-e looks at her husband from her new bmw

i hear this ep was turrible

huh, i guess not everyone loves "just you and i"

I think I mentioned it in a facebook comment, but it was a great reminder that for every touring act that passes through a local music venue, there's some local act with an inexplicable hometown following filling in the schedule on the other days
