I know in retrospect those scenes indicate divorce/amicable separation, but I totally fell for it in both cases. But that's beside the point - the way they rush up to greet their lovers was so jarring and sudden, the foundation of reality is shaky in the RR.

Carl called her Shelly Briggs btw
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 15:14 (six years ago) link
We've only known Shelly by her married names. First married at 17 after dropping out of the 11th grade... I think we're supposed to infer her previous family life from there.
― sciatica, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 15:17 (six years ago) link
Shelly has no backstory as such because she was born in a shower of gold fully formed as a waitress at the RR
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 15:24 (six years ago) link
definitely some patriarchal thing, she's never had parents, only husbands

Ehh, Norma's been her "mom" for decades now.

Newest theory: in the magical chromatic scheme of twin peaks, the only match for RED is GREEN. This is how Shelly's new beau will meet his end:
"Have you ever studied your hand?"
"Too fackin' right I 'ave, ya dozy berk, that's aaar come I'm gonna smash yer fackin' boat race in wiv it!"

Window washer was definitely a woodsman. Worried for Gordon
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:34 (six years ago) link
Sounded like there were voices in the screeching sounds (though I'll admit this show makes you hear and see stuff in anything)
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:38 (six years ago) link
I totally assumed window-washer was the Jumping Man

I immediately knew I recognized that British kid from somewhere and I finally remembered:

Whatever else, it's clear that the squeegee-wielder didn't know the first thing about the mechanics of window washing.

Would make sense given the sounds & where the scene goes but I think he's yet to come xxp
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link
He and Louie "Birdsong" Budway are the only two original cast members yet to appear I think, I joked on twitter that they would appear together along with all the other non-white characters, in a scene set in a phone box
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:52 (six years ago) link
I also saw somewhere that there are only 19 actors yet to come on the cast list - any big ones? Apart from vedder obv
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:53 (six years ago) link
Meg Foster and Charlene Yi are the only non-Vedder names I recognize on the cast list that we haven't seen yet. There are so many I'd forgotten had already made their 90-second cameo!
― Say, I Heard You Had a Quarrel With Your Best Girl (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:06 (six years ago) link
Meg Foster appeared already!
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:08 (six years ago) link
Okay, just looked that up and I am completely unsurprised that I failed to recognize her.
― Say, I Heard You Had a Quarrel With Your Best Girl (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:14 (six years ago) link
It was also in the most cameo-heavy stretch of the return, my favourite being richard chamberlain as one of at least 4 bills in this thing

It's in the replies there, too, but the round window Andy got a view through instantly reminded me of this:

I did not fully appreciate what a magnificent old man face Harry Goaz had developed until the shots of him in the White Lodge.

Yeah the box was great. That room was one of Lynch's most perfect pieces of production design.

I would probably pay a couple hundred dollars for a large-scale coffee table book of Twin Peaks stills.

The b/w really helped bring out a different shade of him xp

xp fuck yeah
i would also probably pay about $30 for a large scale coffee table book of twin peaks stills, if they wanted to make it a little less expensive

there's something so powerful about seeing a character entirely divorced from the supernatural components of the show suddenly seated right at the center of them
― Evan R, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:48 (six years ago) link
The long awkward silence and the expression on everyone's face when Gordon mentioned his Monica Bellucci dream was hilarious. As was the squeegee frankly.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
^yes. Chrysta Bell was especially good there, it's a nice evolution of the "I had a dream"->"oh boy, here we go" lynch scene, seen previously in mulholland dr and original peaks
― blog haus aka the scene raver (wins), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:56 (six years ago) link
I also just love ask the offbeat framing involved in reintroducing the encounter with Jeffries: presenting the scene as a memory recollected in a dream, and then redoubled through Cole's narration, with the squeegee attack weirdly suggesting the fragility of any boundary between inside and outside.

*"I also just love all the offbeat framing," I mean

it's uncanny how well Louie's scenes with Lynch (especially his forst scene) presaged The Return

Gahdamn, the final episodes of this thing are going to just be a stew of unresolved vagaries and mind-melting infodump. You know that only like 50% (at most) of the lingering mysteries will be tied up into anything resembling a tidy resolution.
― Say, I Heard You Had a Quarrel With Your Best Girl (Old Lunch), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 20:02 (six years ago) link
I really hope it's 2 hours of strobe lights and Laura screaming followed by Merzbow at the RR running Eddie Vedder through a wood chipper.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 20:26 (six years ago) link
Haha, would pay to see that. (the Vedder thing is, only slightly, but still, annoying me, hanging over this glorious series... I was fearing he'd be the slot at the bar and fuck up the last brilliant episode)
