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

Yeah it's a good distillation of his character, which was always far more passive than his sherlockian man-of-action persona suggests. He's navigating the dangers of this world the same way he solved the palmer case - by being receptive to dreams and coincidence & being pulled along by the currents of the text - he just isn't spouting can-do gibberish while he does it

Of course that Dale Cooper failed, over and over again, which is worrying. I really hope nothing bad happens to Janey or Sonny Jim or bushnell or, now, Anthony, but I have a bad feeling about the convergence of Mr Todd, the Hutches, and the dirty cops upon the starting-to-look-TOO-idyllic jones household

hey all Cooper has to remember is "don't die"

and the Hutches/Anthony seem neutralized as a threat, at least for now. Mr. Todd and the dirty cops (and Mr. C) otoh

I wonder if we are gonna get some kind of confrontation between Mr. C and Dougie that would be nuts

seems unlikely given that Mr. C's preoccupied with his coordinates/Jeffries but who knows

also any ideas on what exactly it is that Mr. C has "inside" that Jeffries wants? Garmonbozia? BOB? Or something else? Is it all about Mr. C/BOB not returning to the Black Lodge at the appointed time?

The hutches are still p dangerous no? I wouldn't mind them being swiftly dispatched as they're not my favourites tbh. Also it's no good coop just remembering not to die, he has a wife and kid and entire ecosystem of goofy bonhomie to protect!

Jeffries (or more likely the person pretending to be Jeffries on the phone) wants to "be with" Bob. Bob is what's inside Bad Coop. Jeffries (or whoever) wants to kill Bad Coop in order to get at Bob.

The identity of the person pretending to be Jeffries ('cause I don't think it's him) is one of the things I'm most interested in finding out. I think it'll be someone that's already appeared on screen (though maybe not this season). My best guess is Red.

Yeah I'd thought at first that BOB got removed from the doppelgänger in part 8 but that's my reading too now xp

If Windom Earle hadn't been so spectacularly destroyed, I'd suspect him.

One of the actors who hasn't yet appeared is my bet for faux-Jeffries, going by the voice. He was in one of the few pieces of entertainment I know that Lynch has seen over the past few years.

Speaking of the cast list, lynch needs to stop fucking with us. I'm all for testing an audience's patience within reason but it's been 13 hours, there are only five episodes left - WHERE THE FUCK ARE JUMPING MAN AND LOUIE BIRDSONG BUDWAY?

I keep half-expecting a scene like the one where Richard runs over a kid in the truck where all of the onlookers are guest actors, and that's their only cameo

Unlike the "Las Vegas is an alternate reality" thing, Audrey still being in a coma and her bickering with her husband being a dream actually seems pretty plausible to me.

I'm still manfully pushing through S2 (Josie has just been turned into a knob) and it strikes me that there are three women in The Return that exemplify the future Audrey envisions in S2 for herself.

When Audrey meets Denise, she is amazed that women get to be agents and you can see for a moment it's her heart's desire. And imagine if she could rescue Coop, like Coop rescued her. Tamara Preston.
Throughout S1 and early in S2 Audrey fantasises of the romantic life together with "my special agent". A home and children are in her future dream. Janey-E.
After the Civil War Ben, Audrey wants to be a serious woman running the Great Northern with a dad who is a good man, happy, and loves her. Beverley Paige.

"Do you want me to end story two?"
"What story is that, Charlie? The little girl who lives down the lane?"

you guys get some goofy ideas

although yr reading of Audrey's various fantasy futures seems correct

Where is 'the Art Life' streaming in the UK? It seems to be on the US Amazon, but I can't find it on the UK one...

"Do you want me to end story two?"

like, this is not the dialogue iirc? It was "Do you want me to end the story for you?"

xp

Seriously, guys, a discussion of the works of David Lynch is not the place for you to be spinning out with your wild theories.

I enjoyed the Art Life but tbh I think the Lynch One doc gives a better glimpse into his creative process

oh, it's on youtube:

Preorder of The Art Life is currently on sale on Amazong, btw. Like $16 for the br and cheaper on dvd.

I thought that at first but I've read many contradicting versions with the other. I haven't tried closed captions.

closed captions do not say "story two"

I concede then.

It's "do you want me to end your story too?"

"One of the actors who hasn't yet appeared is my bet for faux-Jeffries"

just say who

and don't give me vedder

not fit to

Stan on Mad Men (maybe not that dramatic, I think I said it here last week anyway)

oh right. that would be weird.

lol, Sufjan

oh god plz dont let vedder be a major plot point ill plotz

vedder is clearly going to be playing in the bang bang bar as the finale to the show

I doubt it'll be the finale but yeah obviously he's gonna be onstage

yarling doesn't really fit Lynch's sonic aesthetic though so I expect it to be awkward

real missed opportunity for Vedder/Hurley harmonizing

jeeeeeeeruuuuuuussst yeeeeeaaaaaahhooooooouuuuuuuuuuu

maybe he'll get burned like the electronic music dude from a few episodes ago

*faintly in the background*
"ladies and gentlemen, give it up for eddie vedder"
*sounds of 14 people sort of clapping*

motherfucker's solo act is a ukelele thing too. i DO NOT see that flying in the roadhouse.

would be great if he was Wyndom Earle'd

didn't he have an experimental side project for a while

I was thinking of hovercraft but it's unclear to me if he was actually in the band

hey I met someone from that band once

Listening to some old Throwing Muses this week reminded me that in the original series, Sherilyn Fenn blurred over completely with Tanya Donnelly in my mind. Voice, face - everything but hair colour, somehow.

Maybe Vedder will play while half the patrons watch a football game on the TV, and a large group celebrate a birthday distractingly, all under normal lighting.

As long as the last episode ends with Dougie smashing his face into a mirror and saying "How's Eddie?" then all is good.

I'm still manfully pushing through S2 (Josie has just been turned into a knob) and it strikes me that there are three women in The Return that exemplify the future Audrey envisions in S2 for herself.

what if audrey married to charlie is the real world and the entire rest of the season is her coma dream?

Oh shit I trust Lynch pretty much completely at this point of the series but this is easily one of the truest things I've ever read

If Russian Tsarlag isn't a musical guest on Twin Peaks we're all being cheated.
