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

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

maybe when cooper gets to TP people will be vomiting blood and crawling all over the streets , who knows

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

??????? is definitely ????????

Btw if we do find out who Judy is in the next 2 parts (and I'm totally up for her not being mentioned) I really don't think it'll be garland briggs. The whole point of Judy being reintroduced at this late stage seems to be that it's somebody the doppelgänger doesn't see coming, but he's been completely fixated on Briggs this whole season! He met with him, probably killed him, talked with not-Jeffries about him, asked ray and Diane about him... it would just be weird if the big secret he was freaking out about was Jeffries not wanting to talk about him 25 years ago

Apologies if this has been posted/remarked on before (I mean, I think the Wizard of Oz comparisons have appeared in this thread before iirc, but I'm not sure about whether this specific moment has been mentioned)

imo judy is laura bc laura is maddy and madeline and judy are the same person in vertigo

(imo we'll maybe never hear about judy again but i hear kyle maclachlan's words from a few months ago echoing in my head assuring(?) us that everything would make some kind of sense, which i don't necessarily want but also idk what "sense" means to maclachlan or lynch)

this preview of the finale seems otm

I don't get how Briggs (or Ruth) being killed squares with him "hiding out" in the White Lodge. People who die go to the Black Lodge. Living people who find a portal can move between the White Lodge and the world. That's simplified obv but it accurately sums up what we've seen so far I think.

Jeffries' coordinates presumably are for Jack Rabbit's Palace, which is where Mr C is headed, presumably, presumably to gain access to the portal. But if he's already been in the White Lodge to murder Briggs ("It's in our house now," maybe), why did he have to find the coordinates? Bobby's story about Cooper visiting his father makes it sound like Briggs was still alive when the Coop doppelgänger left him. Maybe there was a second meeting of Mr C and Briggs, at which Briggs was murdered. But that doesn't explain why Mr. C would need the coordinates, or how Briggs' and Ruth's bodies got mixed up.

cooper hits booper over the head with a shiny gold shovel

One of my favorite things about this season that's also a bit frustrating (purposefully so I'm sure) is that the first ep set up a new murder mystery that the show then pretty much just walked away from.

i'm starting my rewatch now and jeez this show is so great

scenes i was unsure of at first i just wholeheartedly love now

I wonder if they'll explain Briggs's fingerprints popping up in various places over the years (if I understood what Ernie Hudson's character said), or if we're to assume it's from him periodically visiting from the Lodge.

I assume it's the latter. So Mr. C goes to visit Briggs (I don't remember if Bobby said when this happened), spooks him and Briggs hides out in the White Lodge, coming back to earth when necessary, all the while not aging. Then somehow he's killed in conjunction with Ruth Davenport and their bodies get mixed up. Except her body falls to earth out of the portal whereas someone took the time to arrange her head and Briggs' body in a deceptive or showy way. That person or thing presumably still has Briggs' head. Or maybe there's no corporeal head left, just the talking specter floating in space.

my flashlight's broke

ruth's head wasn't there either. there is no head.

Her head was on Briggs' body, shot through the eye (by Mr. "Four through the eyes and one through each nostril")

If I remember correctly, Hastings mentioned that he saw Briggs's head float away. I assume what Coop saw floating around in Episode 3 is all we'll get to see of it; or, if it will appear again, it will likely be in this form.

man bad coop is so scary

good establishing character work in this show wrt chantal's motel room floor being littered with snacks

my Aunt's in town and I'm unlikely to see this at air time, such a bummer. Gonna have to avoid this thread like the plague

But if he's already been in the White Lodge to murder Briggs ("It's in our house now," maybe), why did he have to find the coordinates?

Maybe he thinks he can make his way in to the purple zone to kill the Fireman.

Or wherever the Fireman is.

where's wally

Kinda think Judy is the mother/experiment, which on screen means she's gonna be Sarah palmer. Someone C has "met" but doesn't know that he's met. Who else could be the dreamer, after all (except maybe Audrey)?

what if it's cole

"Mark, it's David... I have an idea!"

Fix your hearts and die!

^ wow

Sweet

MAN i really hope Laura is in the finale

i do want to say I'm not going to be super happy if we get overly meta on this; I'm already very, very slightly worried that the Cole in Cole's dream was David Lynch, speaking to Monica Bellucci, and the 'audrey' we see at the end is Sherilyn Fenn. It's fine to flirt and hint at these things but we're 60 years past the height of metafiction and that shit is passe now.

sorry akm, what do you mean? couldn't parse that

i mean fourth wall breaking. As in, cole's dream and the answer to 'who is the dreamer' is about Lynch himself.

i don't get it either, akm

That does not seem consistent w Lynch's m.o.
