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

Herself unlikely to allow it

Might anyway

(tbh I always want to resist the prevailing interpretation of mulholland dr, but in fact I'd say I basically subscribe to it with one important tweak: quite simply, it's just like the wizard of oz - it was all a dream, but not really)

i always MD was a drug-induced fever dream. Diane smokes cocaine, the opening Jitterbug scene is the rush, then we see/hear her blow out a cloud of smoke, then she falls into the red pillow, & dreams until the cowboy wakes her up

I'll be rewatching Fire Walk With Me with some folks who have still only seen the original series

Haha I'm always intrigued by this kind of thing, there must be a fair few ppl who watch this whole return then see fwwm and are like ohhhhh

I wish I could temporarily purge all previous TP-related knowledge and experience from my brain and rewatch The Return as a discrete work unto itself.

That said, I think it'll be a much different experience the second time around, without the weight of expectation hanging over it.

I might do the marathon leading up to the finale, not sure. Part of me thinks that so much of the value of this first viewing has come from experiencing it as a weekly thing, an experience we won't get again & therefore it's most fitting to finish the same way and have a big rewatch of the entire thing at a later date, maybe when the blurays come out. And then be out of Lynchworld for a few years.

If I use another email to sign up for the execrable nowtv trial again, when should the finale be available on that platform, wins?

Presuming they offer it simultaneously to Irish user NB their offering to Irish users has been terrible so far based on earlier trial

Flappy, I love ya but cocaine is unlikely to make you sleep like that..the crash is way later

xp it's usually available like a minute after the live broadcast - I usually start watching it live just in case as there have been a couple of times when it hasn't gone on at the right time, then switch to the on demand at the first ad break

people have different reactions to stimulants, you can nod off on speed. especially regular users. xp

(You know you can watch sky Atlantic live thru now tv right) xp

yeah flappy, you're right..i've crashed on stimulants as well..

Yeah man sometimes I have coffee and go right back into a stupor

^ yeah, i crash often after drinking coffee :-/

We are all Dougie Jones

mmmm... covfefe

"If David Lynch wanted to do another season of Twin Peaks, would you do it?

“Oh yeah. He said if people loved it he would do another one, and the hardest part is just sitting down and writing it. But he had so much fun this time, he really loved it. And he got to do it the way he wanted to. It’s like an 18-hour movie, so he’s happy. Let’s just stay positive. It really turned out the way he wanted it to in his heart.”

Of course she's a Prince fan :)

There's a petition for another season of peaks. I didn't sign it cuz they wanted too much personal into and it's up to David anyway. Figure this will be a satisfying conclusion

My one prediction for the finale is at some point Cooper and Gordon will exchange thumbs ups and it'll be the happiest thing I see all year

I've watched the most of the season live on Hulu with the showtime add on. If you have one of those roku or Apple tv things, it shows up like a minute after the episode starts, but there is also way to watch the live showtime stream on Hulu. This is the link I use for the east coast: https://www.hulu.com/watch/linear/791339

my roku tv has a showtime app where you get a free 7 day trial then you gotta cancel it or else your account will renew it. episodes show up right at 8pm

there are too many things to watch things on

Of course she's a Prince fan :)

They dated didn't they?

Update for deems/others

UK & Ireland ppl who wanna watch #TwinPeaks finale w/o ad breaks, it'll be up 2-2.5hrs after the Sky Atlantic simulcast https://t.co/tYpRg4eXpu

Great thanks

Latest lodgers great as always Simon - fyi you let a "fuck" slip through 😉

So I guess we're all wisely forgoing predictions as a chump's game but I think we should all put our butts on the line regarding the last two quotes at least, it'll be the last opportunity to do so

"The past dictates the future": hawk

"What is your name?": a character we've never seen, in the final moments of the series

someone on FB posited dude in the cell is Billy, and he is the same person Andy went to visit. I say no, that is not the same person, and none of them are Billy.

(and I say no because I swear the guy andy went to visit had another name, and I don't think it's the same actor, and people would have already made this connection if this were so; not because it doesn't make sense, it actually does)

Yeah that's clearly not the same actor, they were both credited ffs. A lot of ppl assumed billy was the guy Andy visited (credited as "farmer") cause the guy runs into the diner and says "anyone seen billy?" in the same episode. Other ppl assume the drunk is billy cause Audrey & others describe him as bleeding from the nose & mouth (never mind that this guy appears to be bleeding from a wound in his face)

fyi you let a "fuck" slip through

I uh did this on purpose and it's actually a...clue...

Is the drunk bleeding guy in the cell even fully 'there'? Because no one except Chad has reacted to him. And he's pretty fucking gross so you'd think other ppl would?

i suppose the farmer could be billy, that would make sense, but yes, I don't think billy is the dude in the cell. I have a feeling we will never find out what is up with dude in the cell. he's just some poor guy.

Oh, another piece of evidence that suggests billy might be the farmer is the stolen truck, although Billy's truck was stolen by chuck & the farmer's was taken by Richard

I thought that was Riley Lynch who asked about Billy in the RR?

I don't think the guy in the cell is Billy but tbf he does seem to be bleeding from his mouth as well as his face wound.

wins I feel dumb--where are those quotes from?

Yeah it was Riley lynch credited as "bing"

The quotes are the episode descriptions provided by showtime, every episode has had them. Part 8 was "gotta light?" for example

i predict everyone gets absorbed by the tone

ha ok like i said. I thought each description was a quote from the episode. Were those supposed to be predictive of something in context? I don't remember them specifically.

I don't understand the question

I guess I don't understand why we're making predictions about those quotes specifically. But no matter, ignore me.

My bold well thought out prediction is that Candie is Linda.

I thought each description was a quote from the episode.
Yep
Were those supposed to be predictive of something in context?
nope. I guess they're predictive in the sense that you know someone in the episode will say those words.

Those are the quotes/ep descriptions for parts 17 and 18, we're supposed to guess which character will say them

Making predictions about previous quotes would be pointless

Ah ok. I never look ahead at episode descriptions or cast lists or anything.

My predictions are that the people we've had discussed at length but not yet met will not be featured as major elements.

i suppose the farmer could be billy, that would make sense, but yes, I don't think billy is the dude in the cell. I have a feeling we will never find out what is up with dude in the cell. he's just some poor guy.

This guy looks like a proto-woodsman and seems to be in a very similar state to cooper-as-dougie

I think it a very safe prediction that he is not just "some poor guy"

he's the viewer stand-in

I think he's some poor guy tbh

*mocking voice* ahwr thinkg he's jusht shome poor guy

We've seen characters in various poor states, I think Drunk is a drunk and Sick Girl is a sick girl and Drugged-Out Mother is Laura Palmer
