I'm still amazed that one of the major remaining questions is who/what will get a superpunch from a fake Cockney security guard.

If you introduce an enchanted gardening glove in Act Fourteen, it has to punch someone in Act Eighteen: that's screenwriting 101.

Although Twin Peaks: The Return has hosted an array of Roadhouse performers and spotlighted music throughout its new season, a large part of the show’s sonic identity has been defined by the space between sound effects and music. Sound and music Supervisor Dean Hurley’s first installment of the library-style Anthology Resource series showcases his original sound design and music compositions featured in the show’s very distinctive-sounding third season. From ethereal tones to sputtering electricity to densely brooding musical cues, this release operates as an unofficial ambient score to Twin Peaks, offering a more abstract counterpoint to the show’s official soundtrack and score. (You might also remember Hurley as the drummer from the fictitious band Trouble, alongside Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches, and David Lynch’s son Riley, who performed at the Roadhouse in 'Part 5' of The Return.)

The white hand inside Sarah's face has one dark finger: the ring finger of the left hand. It's the same finger Mr C. tells Ray to put the green ring on in episode 13.

Sarah being some kind of Black Lodge spirit host making me sort of re-think the roles of the Palmer family
― Οὖτις, Monday, 14 August 2017 20:50 (six years ago) link
It struck me this episode that everyone who's been to the Lodge this time round seems kind of clueless and naive - Andy, the glove guy, Matthew Lillard, even Dougie. That seems meaningfully different from 25 years ago when only the show's metaphysical elite seemed able to enter.

I just can't get over how clever Lynch is. Was two Coopers part of the tapestry in Lynch's mind when he wrote that scene with Jeffries in FWWM or is this just an extremely advanced reconfiguring of existiing elements with ideas that didn't exist before, kind of like M Dr. In extremis?
Either way it's pretty mind blowing what he's doing here and I feel privelaged to see it unfolding. I still feel bad for people who aren't watching this weekly.

Doppelganger stuff was introduced in the S2 finale, expanded on (a little) with the Jeffries/Cooper scene in FWWM and then *really* focused on for this. it was a process.

― Cake hawn. (jed_), Monday, 14 August 2017 22:36 (six years ago) link
it's masterful - if he can make a moment from a 25 year old movie that seemed odd and unsettling suddenly become portentious and disturbing, that's narrative power. extremely cool

dunno how much truth there is to it, but there were rumours back in the day that Lynch was planning further Twin Peaks films before FWWM tanked. He may have had some of the ideas we're seeing in this percolating for some time

OMG, what if Lynch pulled a Dr. Parnassus with Phillip Jeffries and recast another rock & roll star on the role, perhaps someone with the initials EV...

Some thoughts:
- Are we all buying Diane's confession of Jane-E being her step-sister? The Diane who has some secret communication channel with BadCoop (?) going on and constantly obstructs things? I'm not nearly convinced.- COFFEE TIME!- "Who ordered just cheese?" was Hawk becoming one with Harvey Keitel in Reservoir Dogs, loved that- At one point we are going to see the left glove turn up, right?- Andy was such a leader after his visit to the lodge, I loved that. Though putting a blind, distressed woman in a jail cell just like that struck me as... ill advised? (I know Andy said it was to protect her, but jeez, find her a better hiding place will you?)- The girls at the end, in the bar. Billy and her mom, Tina, had a thing. The girl twice, or maybe even three times, said: 'I can't remember if my uncle was there' when talking about Billy being in their home all bleeding. Who's the uncle referred to, do we know?- "We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. But who is the dreamer?" This has Mulholland Drive written all over it. Only one director who can get away with all the dream metaphors and it's Lynch.

FWWM had Annie, bloodied from the Lodge, appearing anachronistically in Laura's bed to tell her "The good Cooper is in the Lodge and he can't leave. Write it in your diary," so I don't think it's a stretch to read the Jeffries scene as another way to acknowledge the situation of Cooper's doppelganger outside the usual purview of a prequel.

No idea where they're going with these mysterious uncles but it's intriguing.

kind of an interesting switch-up of bowie's voice in the original FWWM vs the footage they used in last night's episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVXmiCTLuTI
the southern accent is less dramatic in last night's episode, and a "this" is switched out for "that". it's probably not a big secret or important or anything, they probably just dubbed in an outtake so that the accent would be less heavy. still kinda interesting though!
