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

I would personally be hesitant to 'erm no' anything about this show at this point. Like the final episode might wind up being an hour of footage from the 1986 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Who even knows.

my interpretation of this show is 100% unassailable and correct fyi

j/k but it seems like a stretch to connect Candie to Cooper's visions, the Lodges, etc. in any way, she was there for comic relief, she hasn't been shown to be particularly significant to the underlying conflicts of the show. yes this could all change on a dime, but idk so far this show doesn't seem to be trafficking in that kind of bait and switch. People who are associated with the Lodges, can see things, are shown to do just that or otherwise explicitly connected.

Hawk, Carl, the principal, Cooper - their connections have all been pretty explicit and open

I'm certain the casino floor manager was specifically placed in the same shot as Candie and the insurance guy on the security camera so that nobody would be tempted to misinterpret the scene as her telling him anything other than whatever it is she later says she told him.

And a security guy, too! She's not gonna blab to insurance man and then lie to the Casino Brothers when there were two witnesses to the conversation literally looking over her shoulder!

But if it weren't for that fact, I would totally agree that it looks like she's describing the Mr. Jackpots fiasco

Why not? She's not giving away secrets, just relating something that happened that was also witnessed by a bunch of other people in the casino.

Her answer about the weather to the Mitchum brother is a bit snide and they seem to let her get away with a fair amount of odd behavior.

Anyway, again, who knows. It's just more interesting to speculate along these lines than to assume she's merely "comic relief."

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"

Completely nailing the sexy.

I was, however, pretty repulsed and disappointed in the hit and run on the child a few episodes ago.

Why disappointed?

Want to get a Rebekah Del Rio album. Anybody heard her albums?

nah but Chrysta Bell's first full length is real good particularly "this train", "real love" and "swing with me"

I don't think the box set is out of print. HMV/Fopp are selling it cheap in all their stores. I just bought it this week to get Missing Pieces.

Stores likely still have it but I believe they're no longer producing new copies. Probably in anticipation of a new and even more complete set once the revival has finished airing.

idk I think being an attractive person and “acting sexy” by purposefully walking, doing this pursed lips pensive lean to your head that looks exaggerated, it’s more intentional than natural poise

I think her acting is extremely unnatural and distracting. You can practically hear her inner monologue: "now how would a human being hold their head and look serious while having an important conversation with another human being?"

I would personally be hesitant to 'erm no' anything about this show at this point. Like the final episode might wind up being an hour of footage from the 1986 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Who even knows.

Like the fabled early draft of fwwm that started with eisenhower's inauguration, which is interrupted by the episode of I love Lucy where Lucy gives birth (this never actually happened I don't think - the episode famously outdid the inauguration in the ratings but it went out the night before)

Re candie not being what she seems, there's a recent interview with Amy Shiels where she talks about her approach to the role & goes into the backstory she imagined for the character & her relationship to the brothers, the way it comes across really would make no sense if there were further crazy revelations about her being BOB or whatever

Then again actors can be good at giving candid interviews that nevertheless mislead you - remember all those interviews maclachlan gave just before the premiere where he talked about playing Cooper again & made it sound like the character was gonna be exactly the same? I remember thinking "wtf surely they can't do that, dude's been in hell for a quarter century" but it turns out everything he was saying was the truth, it's just that nobody could have known how it applied.

guys it could still fall through but as currently stands we're having a v exciting guest on the Lodgers the week after next (a writer/critic, not someone from the production) and I am really stoked

oh sick, I love Harry Knowles

hey simon i think the podcast feed is down, haven't been able to connect since yesterday

:D xp

The Knowles Are Not What They Seem

Hahaha

good looking out AA, just tried refreshing the feed, see if that helped?

New ep still not showing in my podcasts, but if I search lodgers it comes up - DLing now 👍

Talking of podcasts, this is a good listen, about what the inhabitants of Twin Peaks country think about it all:

see if this helps? refreshing the feed is my usual move to fix stuff.

i use icatcher (ios), which doesn't appear to have a similar option. haven't got time to test other apps just now unfortunately, but i'm thinking you might lose people who use other podcatchers (pocket casts, acast &c.)

Is candy who's lethargic in the casino the same person who gets her up about swatting the fly earlier in the episode? Because that character is very antsy and the other one is the iopposite. Drugs?

Heh

Well played (also the only twin peaks dolly worth paying money for, as it has an actual usage for adults)

Never knew there was action figures and Funko Pops, that disappointing.

So the pullquote used for the episode description for tonight's part (gonna stop pretending these are spoilers - they're in every TV guide & right there in whatever app you watch the show through, if we can talk about trailer footage we can mention these) is "there's fire where you are going". Sounds like log lady talk to me - most of the time it's impossible to predict who'll be the one speaking, except for the three log lady lines so far where it's super obvious it's her.

Then again I may be way off and it'll be Laura or MIKE or someone.

Maybe it's Diane telling Mr. C he's going to hell

wtf @ this show

Omfg

damn wins, you're good

I have laughed my ass off several times already, the best had to be Gordon standing and peering into that whirling tunnel. Camera goes back to the roadway, and it just looks like nothing is happening and he's waving his arms in the air

Also Gordon inspecting the body in the back of the car: "He's dead."

it's a cherry pie

Eeeeexcellent episode. 2nd fave so far. Have to digest but...yeah...fucking great.

loved everything about this

Kyle MacLachlan's "Dougie" is such a beautiful performance

Bobby being the dad, and Shelly still into bad boys

jfc at so much in this one, goddamn

So many good things start to finish.

The "dirty bearded men" are really scary!

The Cooper-as-Dougie facial expressions remind me most of people in an elderly care facility

I've probably said that before, but his "not really liking champagne" facial expression did it again
