Can understand you though, seeing all these familiar things dangling in front of you and trying to make sense of it.
What I love about TP, and ilx's thread and participants specifically, is there is (almost) no mouthing off someone who has an out-there theory, or doesn't understand something.
Having said that, I pity some friends who said they'd wait for the dvd of this to "binge" it. They'll have nothing to hold onto wrt sharing clues, anticipation etc. Lynch was 100% correct in not dumping all of this netflix style, but going week by week.

speaking of the Fireman's opening convo - still have no idea how "Linda" figures into this
this is actually what makes me think Richard might be seen again...

# of characters in twin peaks that are actually another character in twin peaks, as of the last 50 hours of twin peaks: 0
This isn't quite true though - the waiter turned out to be the Giant! And that Japanese dude turned out to be Catherine!

yeah I have really enjoyed reading this thread (and the first one) before I had fully caught up. the quality of the discussion & insight itt & on ILX in general is so much greater than any other message board i've ever been on, and I'm reminded of that every time i go on fucking reddit (part of my job, unfortunately). glad i got caught up by the time Part 14 aired, but my god, I regret not being able to watch Part 8 the night it aired and participating in that discussion.

I don't think this is literally true. the "one and the same" comment I took to mean they were just both White Lodge spirits
And that Japanese dude turned out to be Catherine!
it's true that ingenious disguise fooled absolutely everyone

but the Giant had already appeared to Cooper as the Giant, why would he just appear in a different form for no apparent reason?

Waiter as Giant's tulpa maybe? The Waiter seems to actually exist in the real world, other people see him, he brings coffee, he shows up at the roadhouse etc., whereas the Giant only appears to Cooper in dreams/visions. idk

My workout routine is to dance intensely to fairly lengthy dance playlists two or three times a week, and my last handful of late Sunday afternoon dance playlists always involved some degree of preparation/vibe-setting for the evening's TP:TR part -- music from the series (old and new), songs we've heard at the Roadhouse, songs I'd wanna hear at the Roadhouse, music inspired by Twin Peaks, music reminding me of Twin Peaks, other Lynch-related stuff... I'm so hyped up for Sunday that I have prepared an unprecedented cumulative 4 1/2 hour dance playlist, it's gonna be ridiculous and intense and many calories will be, to use a term employed earlier by wins, "Earle'd" and it will all be worth it I think. At least I hope I'll find the time for it!

Anyone else think the Diane bar crisis was a deliberate nod to The Shining? Her face-down eye rolling looked exactly like Danny having his freakout, then long reverse dolly shots down corridors culminating in a close up of the door, handle and number of Gordon's / Albert's / Tammy's room.

I just want it to be mentioned that Lynch found a way to make a smiley face emoticon incredibly unnerving. That second shot of her phone with the zoom followed by her reaction was absolutely chilling filmmaking.

note the punctuation of the message changes too
i honestly wonder if they were using a real phone and the discrepancy is just due to filming times, but that would be pretty sloppy
