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

I'm just remembering Audrey mentioned ghostwood in her scene didn't she...

Did the loop of the boxing scene that Sarah Palmer was watching change toward the end?

It seemed like it either skipped parts or segments went out of the sequence that had gone before. I should have rewound, but honestly I couldn't stand to hear it anymore.

And I wondered if she recorded it herself or if she set her DVR to loop it or if she was watching a special ESPN Twin Peaks Edition.

the audio loop and the video loop were not in sync

xp She said "it's just like ghostwood" or something. Ghostwood being the thing she was unable to prevent, so maybe also alluding to the possible coma assault.

I'd kinda love for there to be an Audrey-Charlie scene in every ep from now on, always separate from everything else and with a different direction each time, completely decentred & resistant to interpretation; a mini inland empire for sherilyn fenn within the return

I was suspecting something ominous, but then my own television stream did nearly the exact same thing during the next program I watched after Twin Peaks. I'm not sure why but on occasion my streaming tv subscription will jump back a minute or so, then either continue from that point or eventually glitch and jump back to where it was

What I'm saying, I guess, is that Sarah Palmer subscribes to Playstation Vue

All of Lynch's slightly off-kilter tech is so wonderfully weird that I'm disappointed every time someone's cellphone rings with that stock ringtone. They should sound like someone scraping the inside of a bell with a fork or something.

I don't know why I'm so fixated on that but it's pulled me right out of the show both times it's happened. Although both instances were in the RR (once on Norma's phone and once on Shelly's). HMMMM.

The RR exists in an alternate dimension where all the smart phones have stock ringtones.

do we know who composed the batshit antic conga-line music?

audrey/charlie scene in this episode was fantastic in a way that made me want to reassess their scene in the previous episode, during which i mostly felt extremely unmoored

had no idea Diane Feinstein was going to be in this tbh

I'm guessing that music was an Angelo original

The actor who plays Charlie has been in a bunch of things lately and I appreciate his work on Twin Peaks. He seems to get a lot of roles that involve patient questioning!

who was the Boss's right-hand man, the guy that explained the arm-wrestling rules? he looked familiar to me

same here, but I think he just reminds me of two or three different actors?

Big Ed's reflection gets all glitched out at the end

i hear this ep was turrible

you heard right

I've realized that I can only take Dougie in small doses, and the whole new friendship with the Mitchum brothers really irritates me for some reason. That conga line was absurd! Nothing in this episode felt right. From the conversation with Norma at the diner to the to the Dr. Jacoby/Nadine flirting. Only thing I appreciated (although it was almost unbearable to watch) was Sarah Palmer in her living room.

Ray really fucked up by not getting that ring on Mr. C before the dirty bearded men showed up

That conga line was absurd!

wow hot take

How dare u, David Lynch

Yes, absurdity is out of place in what Lynch makes.

the conga line was amazing and i will not hear different

Can't believe Lynch isn't taking this seriously, this is Twin Peaks we're talking about here.

He should have had Dougie and the brothers throw rocks at a bottle to figure out why their claim was originally denied.

That would be so much more straightforward and normal, obviously.

The fuscos getting the ID back is the best "it CAN wait till morning" since Cole et al decided to just ignore the wedding ring in a time-hopping corpse's stomach

Staying up til 4am watching TP i knew I'd made the right decision as soon as the conga kicked in.

I was cracking the fuck up from the off

This is the second straight episode that I fell asleep in... this time during Norma's boyfriend scene. Granted I'm terribly jetlagged but still.

Maybe David Lynch is going for an original series arc, wherein huge parts of the second half are not good, but everything ramps up for the very end. Only to end in more questions!

By absurd I meant just dumb. It's all subjective ...and I know one does not criticize Lynch for being absurd, etc. But it really didn't feel right. Same with the pie eating celebration at the restaurant a few eps ago.

Basically, I can't stand people around Dougie act as if there's nothing wrong w him.

I'm not sure they act like nothing's wrong with him -- it's more that they're kind of in awe of him. He's acting weird, but he keeps doing these amazing things.

I love during the dandruff sequence when Sizemore gets intimidated by the looming presence of the guy he just watched walk straight into a door

Everything about the dougie plot is great imo

tbh i didn't really get that scene - why was dougie fascinated by the dandruff? why did sizemore think that dougie "saw right through" him? (guessing the latter is just the usual thing of characters projecting their emotions onto the blank dougie but wasn't sure if i missed something)

the dandruff reminded me of the stars he was falling through

It was his guilt, & also standing behind someone doing the shoulder touch thing is like something a betrayed conspirator would do in a cliched crime story

exactly, he's asking nice, Dougie wanders off and he poisons the coffee, and then Dougie's looming over them doing this shoulder massage/poking thing

I cracked up when the coffee got dumped in the urinal and Anthony seems so distraught and the other guy in the restroom is like, "wow, it's really that bad, huh?"

this is a good catch!

I think it was this line from the Drones' "Laika" that helped me make the leap

And all the dim companions of
The old white dwarf
Watch him throwing sugar
On an old blackboard

Oh yeah, dumping the coffee in the urinal and throwing the cup in the trash can was great because it was absurdly plausible -- it's the easiest thing to do in the circumstance.

I'm still cracking up at Dougie seeming really badass, especially when he echoed "thank Dougie"

I think Dougie is "blessed" in some way in that just mere contact w/ him can cause men to confess their crimes and old ladies to win huge slots jackpots. And give his wife knockout orgasms by just laying there like a lump.

There are 5 episodes to go. I personally don't think all the threads will be tied up neatly and many of us will be ripping our hair out in frustration. But it's been a strange and often beautiful ride thus far.

And give his wife knockout orgasms by just laying there like a lump.

don't forget the arm flapping. feel like that's key

Lol yeah that too

I feel like that was sexual assault of an intellectually vacant man, but at the same time, arm flappy

listen i think dougie is less intellectually vacant than an embodiment of clear light, wherein all things are like the void and cloudless sky, and the naked, spotless intellect is like a transparent vacuum, without circumference or center

hah yes

From your deep Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman fandom. (The actor is Frank Collison, who played Horace the telegraph operator. My wife swore she remembered him from The Waltons, so I looked him up this morning.)
