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

sure, it didn't bother me really, but seeing so many people quote it earnestly and say that that shot is the best of the entire series... reading the twin peaks subreddit is so depressing, these people keep saying "LYNCHED!" whenever there's a surprise or a twist with no self awareness at all. anyway i shouldn't go on there they have those leaked synopses from russia. i know most ppl itt haven't seen the ep yet

Coop's "I AM the FBI" was total 50's g-man, radio serial shtick. Felt right imo.

that line rules come on

Laura Dern was the acting champion of this episode, her scene is still scaring me

Coop really did pop right back and zoom into action, so great

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

Didn't know this word. Thanks Tammy

I guess the tulpas work differently than the doppelgangers. This version of Diane seemed to have a powerful emotional life of her own... or she was just channeling the real Diane's trauma? In any case it was a chilling scene.

SO much joy from all the Good Coop-related scenes. My heart just kept jumping with delight. Also, I was laughing so hard at MIKE's "Finally."

Laura Dern was incredible; "her scene is still scaring me" (xxxp) indeed.

That moment the main theme came on again to once again emphasize/confirm that Good Coop is back in action was wonderful. So much to say about the Audrey scene; classic Lynch, though what leaves a bitter aftertaste is that, well, when there's finally several black people in a scene 16 episodes in, they're all... in a jazz band, of course.

FINALLY

Treesh there was an entire scene in a prior episode, where they induct Tammy into the blue rose group, and they talked about tulpas!

xp also fuck stan for spoiling the final scene.

also thanks so so so much to wins for warning us about the russian spoilers getting out. i'm staying away from everything including this thread. see you all in a week!

Oh yeah. I think I didn't follow that conversation and didn't follow up on it. Sorry for the redundant post.

But still -- it's good to learn new words.

my mind is kind of blown it's new for you!

Sherilynn Fenn's dancing was amazing. it was like watching her get younger as she remembered the moves. Also loved the wacko paganism of the Mr.C-Richard-Jerry scene, with hillside sacrifice on a slab of stone. And Laura Dern in that scene, the whole dynamic between her and Lynch and just her wells of emotion. She's so good.

I was in awe of the "you're younger, go up there and check it out" ploy. Like, how fucking obvious was that? Adios, Richard

Can't believe Aleister Crowley killed Chantal and Hutch

that guy was my favorite deus ex parking spot

"I'm in the sheriff's station" -- any theories on the specifics of the relation between Diane/the Diane tulpa and Naido?

Or maybe Chad is everyone. Or, #actually, Chad is the dreamer.

naido does kiiiiinda sound like diane backwards

Yeah Diane is obv Naido

The bleeding Drunk is Judy

When I first watched this I started checking my phone during vedder and nearly missed Audrey's entrance

Jerry's entrance in this episode sure looked like an approaching Woodsman. I don't know if it was significant but I have to assume that it was intentional.

There's also a whole lot to say/speculate about regarding what Bad Cooper's rape of Diane and its consequences tell us about Audrey

Jerry watching Richard get Earle'd haha

poor Jerry never disfigured out which way to hold the binoculars

lol, figured

These are what you call finger sandwiches

This episode blew my mind. I was welling up at Coop's farewell scene at the casino.

Diane received Mr. C's text at 16:32, which he sent shortly after Richard was zapped. So there's the 4:30 from the Fireman's opening clues, I guess. No still no Linda though.

Also who was the third person to give C coordinates? Ray, "Diane," who else?

Jeffries

Is the rock richard climbed on the "one stone" then?

wow!

(that's me at the end of the episode, and also tammy after diane tulpa gets shot)

reading the twin peaks subreddit is so depressing, these people keep saying "LYNCHED!"

it bears repeating that reddit and imgur, the shitty image subcommunity it spawned and then left behind once it decided to host its own content, are some of the shittiest internet communities on the entire earth

it's still ambiguous what happened to audrey between twin peaks s2 and the return, but i love the idea that she kind of drifted away from the world when pearl jam was still playing local bars around washington, and drifts back only to find eddie vedder rocking the bang bang

i know. it depends on the sub reddit. but generally it's... really depressing. i haven't spent much time on r/twinpeaks bc of this

karl malone otm

anyway that was... wow wow wow

i love the night driving motif in lynch's work across the years (including the shot that opened this episode) - you always know you're in for a treat

sorry, last thing - that bright white setting audrey finds herself in at the very end: that's new, right? trying to remember another time that's appeared. really looking forward to the payoff there

Yeah that's new

Interesting that bushnell heard the great northern hum in the hospital - I'm sure there's a great theory to be spun from that & the fact that Bellina "Louie 'Birdsong' Budway" Logan played the doctor

I was wondering what the hum meant regarding who might be in the Great Northern. Maybe that's where Audrey has been?

OH! i forgot, that doctor scene was hilarious! *checks the vitals for about 6 seconds* ok i'll go get your exit paperwork ready! i want to live in this world, even if it's the end of the world

In Secret History of Twin Peaks it's implied that Audrey's been in a coma since the bank bombing.

This makes me wonder if ALL of the Roadhouse scenes have been happening in her head, or just this one.

I think it's a way station or some kind of limbo. characters unrelated to audrey have shown up

serving burgers

I guess James and Hulk hand got in a fight there, which ties in to the "real" storyline of the show

Also Chad, Red, Ray...

While I was feeling more ambiguous about this at the end of that scene than at the start (which I thought, for a second, would put the Audrey is dreaming/in a coma theories to rest), I do think this confirms that... some version/form of Audrey is very much awake and active in the world of Twin Peaks. Both the Diane scene and that cliffhanger of course may suggest that what we're seeing is something beyond the awake/in a coma dichotomy

Jerry sure seems to have strayed far afield of the forest he was lost in

I knew sooner or later Jerry would stumble upon the other characters, but when it happened it came as a total surprise

Also Chad, Red, Ray...

James, of course.
