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

me too, it was consistently hilarious.

aimed at no one in particular: whether or not you find mr jackpots hilarious (i don't), does it matter? as matthewk said, he's not really a comedy vehicle, but people get what they get from it, opinions is opinions etc. if you laugh, you laugh. it's twin peaks.

"It's twin peaks" otm; ppl have always struggled with this idea that a lot of what we're shown is "arbitrary" or "superfluous" - why are we seeing this thing that isn't an investigation or a criminal conspiracy or whatever when we have investigations and conspiracies to check in on? It's been a thing in this show since forever. I'd have trouble applying either of those adjectives to cooper's story tho because it feels like a lot of thought has gone into how and where he would come out and what he'd be like when he did (annie was catatonic after 1 night in the lodge, multiply that by 9125) and also because, you know, it's cooper's story. But yeah if I didn't find the vegas stuff funny or interesting (I do, a lot, obv) I'd be less keen on the show too!

What if he doesn't and it's a giant tease tho, that thought keeps coming to me (esp in the shower every morning, no idea why) and it'd really piss me off. Not that there hasn't been enough to enjoy (or love, James' smile, Bobby's tears, Ben apparently becoming a good man, so many other little moments), but REALLY. It's David Lynch, last thing I trust him with is fulfilling viewers' hopes.

I mean, what if this is it for Cooper. Kinda read yr post as "when will he come out of Dougie" not "when will he come out of the Lodge".

I didn't know people were so anxious about things unfolding and becoming a disappointment, like you and Jed up here. That thought has not crossed my mind once since The Return. I'm way more in a 'sit back and enjoy the crazy ride' mode instead of fretting about how it could go haywire. I've not seen anything that indicates that this will end a disappointment tbh. And indeed, still 9 hours to go people!

I mean, what if this is it for Cooper. Kinda read yr post as "when will he come out of Dougie" not "when will he come out of the Lodge".

Oh no I meant the latter, I was talking about what we've seen so far. For the record though Cooper will recover his identity, Leland told him to find Laura and he will, there is a 0% chance it won't go that way. This story isn't confounding in that way, it's prob Lynch's most linear since the straight story

Watts asked Lynch, later, when they became friends, “Why did you pick me? Why my headshot?” She got a kick out of the director’s answer, and she straightens on the sofa to give a full-bodied impression of what Lynch told her. She squints as if through cigarette smoke, and yaps: “I don’t know, Naomi! It was just the look in yer eye!”

Can not hear Lynch saying this in any other way than Gordon right now. Great long interview with Watts in the Guardian, not about Twin Peaks but worthwhile all the same.

(I'd not heard of that series but it sounds intriguing, is it any good?)

(Gypsy that is)

Haha watts is always good value

A gun id kinda love to go unfired is the room key; I think Audrey seeing it is still a strong possibility, but it'd be funny if its only purpose was to remind Ben of Laura Palmer - or better yet if Bellina Logan's character sees it several episodes from now, picks it up and stares curiously at it for several minutes before enthusiastically throwing it in the trash

There's a shot that's been in Showtime's promos from day one, of post-Dougie Cooper driving and glancing in his rear view mirror at something behind him -- a shot that hasn't happened yet in the series. If Coop doesn't snap out of it, that'll be a pretty amazing bait & switch.

It's David Lynch, last thing I trust him with is fulfilling viewers' hopes.

it's also mark frost, who has most likely filled a disused stadium with well-described, thoroughly plotted secrets and mysteries.

btw gypsy is being slammed according to the metacritic aggregate.

Did Johnny Horne knock a hole in the wall? If so, there could be a bunch of things hidden behind it. If not, I guess he's a means to draw Audrey into the story.

There could be candy in that wall!

The promos have shown Cooper driving and also looking around concerned, although who knows what his personality will be like. That bag of jackpot money is waiting for him to hit the road.

He's looking for Jade so that he can give her two rides.

that hole in the wall is the first step toward building a magic box to summon lodge spirits.

oh shit candy, yeah it's probably candy.

Could be full of frog/locust things. :(

I forgot about the money! The screenwriters' equivalent of a lucky 7 insurance payout for the widow jones?

I'm kinda steeling myself for graphic torture & murder of the warden in the next episode

followed by some snacking

Update: I didn't get to it last week, but switched out my Sunday cortado for a green tea latte this morning and, having finally tried one, can now assume its appearance in this is a callback to the time there was a fish in the percolator 🤢

one of the many reasons why Link's Awakening is the best Zelda game

awesome link Karl

i haven't even played link's awakening! i have to grab a rom

i sold my snes recently :-/ life regrets

You all saw this, right?

http://thesearchforthezone.com/

yep, there was some discussion about it upthread. i was especially curious about the hidden lat/long. i think somehow i fucked up when i c+p'd into google maps, because it led to an intersection a mile or two away from my house, but everyone else got a location somewhere in south dakota iirc

What's weird to me is that one of the links is to the Rapid City Journal, which is a real newspaper, and the most read story there right now is about DUNE (plus the story they're leading on is about prison escapees)

hey now take it to the tv shows within tv shows: an ocd thread for jaymc and nabisco thread

actually watching live tonight beginning with the end of last episode and Bobby saying, "Well, that's my dad" nearly made me weepy

I kind of wonder if Lynch and Frost's image of the Tammy character was "precocious, trying to act sexy and mature but not quite nailing it"

having now read about half of the "Secret History" book, the character's notations seem intelligent but the personal interjections are kind of lol

omfg dougie's arms flopping

Douggie horny

...he said some beautiful things

lol Jesus Christ this series

Also we was cheated! 6 minutes left in the hour!

The scenes in/surrounding Gordon's hotel room were so intense

Maybe my favorite so far. Except #8, which is a co-favorite.

Lots of long shots with missing action or dialogue. Loved Candie's going off on some tangent. And lol, why send her when she you know she's not good at stuff?

The women in pink in the office are fantastic.

Also loved the music during Richard Horne's violent scene at the Horne home.

Also loved the blatant expository dialogue.

Candie is my new favorite Twin Peaks character.

This EP hopefully should put to rest the "TP isn't funny" notion

Also loved the blatant expository dialogue.

mr todd basically stepping out of frame and giving the audience a quick cliffs notes was… interesting

Way back in 2014 when this was first announced, the only spoiler mark frost would give was "at some point, you will see a coffee cup fly through a window"

haha wow

Guys. Run Silent Run Drapes. I mean...wow.

that was marvellous. nadine makes a full recovery and becomes an entrepreneur.

weird having two episodes of straight exposition in a row, with some sweet moments (albert!) and some of the most deeply harrowing images i've seen in a while.

dale's clearly not waking up for a while now that there's a new hitmen subplot. anyone who's waiting for The Big Awakening might want to reassess what they're getting from the world of mr jackpots (they called him that!!).

btw it's looking solidly like richard is audrey's daughter. can't see that going well for audrey fans.

btw when janey-e was getting her rocks off it sounded like she was screaming "DOUG-E" more than just "DOUGIE"
