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

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

the final scene will be a close-up of the talking gardening glove: "i'll see you in 25 years"

The Evolution of the Arm.

Nadine still has super-strength too, right? Or at least did as of 25 years ago?

superpunch Mr. C in the gut. a geyser of garmonbozia propels the bob egg toward nadine, who knocks it out of orbit with a gold shovel

I'd be satisfied with that ending.

I can't believe STARRING KYLE MCLACHLAN hasn't been memed in some way... so much potential

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.)

This is on Spotify as well.

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.

i leave the gaff and head round the corner to the hardware store where the clerk won't sell me the bloody glove

spot on m8

Sarah being some kind of Black Lodge spirit host making me sort of re-think the roles of the Palmer family

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.

what was once esoteric knowledge is now the destination of people seeking answers

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.

That was one of the most head slapping "of course" moments, until I realized that I could not possibly have put it together until then

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.

It's just awe inspiring.

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...

i hope not

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

I am so glad to be alive to have been able to see this episode. I've no words. Genius and nuts.

Will read up the hundreds of posts now. Mind blown.

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.

$20 says this series ends with Jeffrey Beaumont waking up next to Sandy and telling her about the weird dream he just had.

tilda swinton is the best choice for Jeffries, unless Bowie is in this

Dick Tremayne's dream imo

Dick Tremayne's dream imo

I only finally registered here like a few weeks ago and my posts have already hit rock bottom

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.

Totally. There are time loops at work.

Briggs planting the note for Bobby and co. as well.

Re uncles--in ep 11 the angry honking lady says that they're late for dinner, her uncle is joining them, she hasn't seen him in a long while...

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

What word does Tammy say after she says "The dying woman was not natural... conjured--what's the word..."

"Atopa"? "A topa"? What does that mean? I'm probably mishearing some obvious and common word

Ah, she said "A tulpa"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulpa

Well hey and check out this picture from that Wikipedia page:

how can i get a tulpa

in the reply all podcast episode about tulpas, they talk to people who are trying to create them:

Jesus, Freddie's story was 8 minutes long!?

yeah, i might be alone here but i didn't like him and i thought that scene dragged far more than any dougie sequence (which i like, in general)

I figured there were so many things I’d loved that if they wanted so spend so much time on this novelty character, they could have him

yeah, there's only been about half an hour out of about 14 hours that i haven't really enjoyed, so we're doing preeetttty good

i think this has been my favorite tv show of all time since about ten minutes into the first episode

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!

maybe Gordon and Albert aren’t remembering it quite right

lol

That wasn't Bowie's voice btw, they got an actor to impersonate him. He was listed as "Voice" in the credits.

oh, really? in FWWM? i had no idea

No for the re-dub in this episode.

oh.

...that's odd.

I believe the footage of Bowie is not from FWWM but from The Missing Pieces, which has "that" instead of "this" (but the voice is overdubbed nonetheless).
