I find some of Lynch's monsters more sophisticated and chilling in their conception than others, and therefore even when their actions are extremely disturbing I feel like I'm not just watching cheap pulp exploitation. Richard and Ike the Spike to me are more in line with the dumb brute, gross-out psychos like the hit men in Wild at Heart, and not necessarily what some people who prefer Twin Peaks to Lynch's other work had been waiting for.

"Except for maybe "The Straight Story"."
so glad he cut the dog raping scene from that movie

Richard Horne actually has the nose that classical statues have where there is no break, or indentation between the slope of the forehead and the slope of the nose. This was the aesthetic ideal in Ancient Greece but it looks weird when you see it in the flesh.

candie's affections not a million miles away from those of dougie imo. my bold / incredibly stupid prediction: candie is inhabited by laura palmer, who's had a little more time to spend adapting to the normal world than cooper has

wins:
TP fans: a character impregnating someone in a coma is a step too far even for this show
25 years ago it depicted (first through suggestion then through filmed scenes) a father repeatedly raping and then killing his daughter. the likelihood that bad cooper fathered richard through rape feels well within the vibe of the show to me.
dowd:
It felt a bit more like this was about violence against women, rather than being exploitative
otm, it's women in trouble. apart from candie (who is apparently not the empty vessel she appears to be), imo every woman who was attacked in part 10 was a sympathetic portrayal, not an opportunistic one.

there seem to be two distinct categories of bad guys in this show:
as far as i can tell, bad cooper/BOB is the only solidly high-status bad guy. he kills and attacks people without so much as blinking (in a lot of his scenes he's almost completely still), and everyone is deferential to him. this sets him well apart from even the worst bad guys in other subplots, and imo makes him the most terrifying. (red might also fall into the high-status category, not sure yet though.)
i'm mentioning all this because low-status characters are usually undone by the qualities which make them low-status, but the high-status bad guys are usually the ones who last until the end and are present for the big showdown. we can guess bad cooper/BOB will be in act 3, sure, but we can also assume the other bad guys will fuck up in various ways and not be in control of the final scenes.

Just saw this, still digesting, love reading all your comments yet nothing to add to it. Except that I'm amazed that no-one has mentioned Johnny Jewel's 'Windswept' album, that came out in May this year. 'Slow Dreams' was on tonight's episode, Chromatics were on it already earlier. The album was announced on forehand as an album with 'Twin Peaks' music on it. And listen to it now: 'Slow Dreams', 'Television Snow', 'Saturday - Desire'.. well the whole album oozes Twin Peaks, uncanilly so (it's on spotify). In any case this seems way more significant than fucking moby.

Audrey has to make an appearance in next episode right? I mean she has to, regardless of her possible offspring right? The atomic bomb (literally and figuratively) dropped in episode eight was followed by two very (for TP) straight forward 'show and tell' episodes. Time for the next mind fucking reshuffle. For those crazy bugs to re-appear, looming in the shadows of the woodsmen. And for Audrey to finally enter the stage. Right?

I felt well chuffed when Dougie's blood pressure was the same as mine was last checkup and the doctor said it was very good

There will be a sneak peek of the next episode at ComicCon this Friday. I would guess that all the cast members on panel earlier that day will feature in that ep (unless they just figured nerd demand for Don Murray is high), but who knows.

I don't agree with the Laura Palmer aspect of this but I agree that Candie is a Dougie-like entity who has come back from the Lodge.
Take back negative things I said about that character.

I might be in the minority but I love Richard Horne. He's unhinged and wild, and believably so. Also, he had got a FACE. It's impossible not to look at him.
