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.

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

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

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

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

the conga line was amazing and i will not hear different
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:45 (six years ago) link
Can't believe Lynch isn't taking this seriously, this is Twin Peaks we're talking about here.
― I'm Calling My Loyer! (Old Lunch), Monday, 7 August 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link
He should have had Dougie and the brothers throw rocks at a bottle to figure out why their claim was originally denied.
― Pataphysician, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:47 (six years ago) link
That would be so much more straightforward and normal, obviously.

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!
― Dominique, Monday, 7 August 2017 16:57 (six years ago) link
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.
― daavid, Monday, 7 August 2017 17:00 (six years ago) link
Basically, I can't stand people around Dougie act as if there's nothing wrong w him.
― daavid, Monday, 7 August 2017 17:02 (six years ago) link
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
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Monday, 7 August 2017 17:25 (six years ago) link
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)
― na (NA), Monday, 7 August 2017 17:31 (six years ago) link
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
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Monday, 7 August 2017 17:34 (six years ago) link
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?"

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"
― mh, Monday, 7 August 2017 18:03 (six years ago) link
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.
― Acid Hose (Capitaine Jay Vee), Monday, 7 August 2017 18:14 (six years ago) link
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.

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

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.)

Looking at his credits, I'm guessing I recognize him from Wild at Heart or O Brother, Where Art Thou? although I don't remember him in either.
