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

Cooper uttered his catch phrase, unprompted. People have been hopefully parsing Dougie scenes for episodes saying they saw hints of Cooper returning, but this was the big wake up moment

Huge lols at that kid staring down Bobby and also Carl's whistle. Amazing episode all around.

I saw "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima" in the music credits again. I must have missed it -- where was it used? And the piano player at the end looked really familiar, but wasn't in the credits.

That was badalamenti

Holy shit, this episode! Lots of actual laughing out loud... extremely scary near the start, extremely nice and rewarding at the end (as has been noted above), and omg Gordon's psychedelic vortex experience

Shooting kid is the return of Little Nicky.

Shelly on the car omg

Cooper uttered his catch phrase, unprompted. People have been hopefully parsing Dougie scenes for episodes saying they saw hints of Cooper returning, but this was the big wake up moment

He also said "he's lying" unprompted quite a few episodes ago now

Another stupid realization during this ep--of course Diane is evil, she possesses and is constantly in proximity to fire.

I also thought the pianist looked familiar. Not Badalamenti though

my current theory about dougie-dale is that lynch has noticed the way the wider general public has reduced dale to being a one-dimensional guy in a black suit who loves coffee and cherry pie. so lynch has made dale literally just a one-dimensional guy in a black suit who loves coffee and cherry pie. and run with it for nine episodes. it's like he's gone "you want a coffee lovin' cherry pie lovin' dale cooper? fuck you, that's exactly what you're getting!"

Cooper uttered his catch phrase, unprompted.

Which catchphrase are you referring to? If it's 'damn good pie', he was just parroting again.

Any theory about what lynch is up to that includes "fuck you" or "middle finger" or the like is bad and wrong imo

okay not necessarily "fuck you" but certainly a comment on how dale has become that-guy-who-loves-coffee-and-cherry-pie

Have we made this parallel yet?:

iirc Dougie said "He's lying" in response to Sizemore saying that the Mitchum claim was legit, they have to pay it... yet now Dougie's drawings convinced Bushnell that was true? What am I missing here?

You don't ever wanna know what that is xp

also my god the first half of this episode is the most anxious thing i've seen in ages. i found myself biting my nails just because of the score and the car horns and people screaming.

"frank, you don't ever want to know about that" felt exactly like whomever commented upthread about the mystery being confected — hawk knows something important but he's not telling. not really mystery so much as withheld exposition.

fortunately that moment was rescued (imo) by dale's cherry pie box not remaining a mystery for six episodes. they wrapped up that whole subplot very quickly and without dicking around.

I was at big ed's gas farm and guess what

... I heard shots

"Dirty, bearded men in a room"

Apparently Lynch knew this was going to air the same weekend as Comic-Con

lol

hahahahahaha yes

It all cannot be said aloud now

I'd be ready for the climax of this to just be Dale remembering what Laura whispered in his ear again lol. It was funny when hawk just whipped out his magic map he had all along (although I guess it is only supposed to be a few hours later than part 9)

i loooooooove how gordon lampshades everything (seeing a mutilated skull and proclaiming "he's dead", seeing doughnuts and saying "ah! the policeman's dream" etc). it imbues him with such charisma.

FACES OF STONE.

Kinda bummed that Hastings got his skull crushed :-(

The first half of this was so relentless I almost forgot - Miriam!

when hawk said "the major gave us a date, the day after tomorrow" i groaned audibly

The way Diane casually mentioned she saw some guy creep up to the police car and then not get pressed on it was strange.

simon mentioned in the lodgers (regarding johnny horne smashing his head in episode 9) that if you don't see a funeral they're probably not dead. from now on, unless i see a fucking skull cracked open i'll assume there isn't a death.

Diane actually said she saw the homeless guy get out of the car... being ambiguously deceptive again.

This was great. The man tinkling the ivories in the restaurant was the funniest thing yet. Badalamenti played the music but the part was played by someone else and there's no credit for Pianist, strangely.

Was the crawling bloodied woman in the opening scene the woman Richard Horne left for dead in the trailer?

Didn't she say she saw him come out of the police car? That was weird.

yeah diane is not to be trusted (for whatever reason (which i believe to be historically violent coercion by mr c))

Already rewatched and there's something to what Evan R says... there's a distinct change in Dougie's intonation when he says "good pie" and "friend" at the end, both are deeper, more resonant, his face is sadder and seems more comprehending... I'm not totally convinced but I don't want to dismiss the possibility either.

^ despite all this teasing i hold out no hope whatsoever for dale being dale again. if it happens it'll be a nice surprise.

I guess Diane said she saw the man coming out of the car because if she said she saw him go in and didn't alert them she'd be implicated.

i mean… i agree, he even looked at the pianist with an actual facial expression, i just expect him to be shuffling vessel man in episode 12 xp

I'm also gutted that Lillard is out, his performance was great but what a way to go.

So since the wounds were the same as the couple watching the transparent box does that mean that the blackened men were responsible for that? Because the figures were not the same.

xp We know he drives a car at some point at least. I also don't think he's back to original form yet (he's displayed emotion a bunch of times already) but he's on his way

I think lillard got the gotta light treatment not the slashing treatment

Of course.

So that was Miriam in the opening scene?

Looked like it to me, didn't check credits

It was, yes.

the longer mr shufflepants goes on, the less i believe that promo footage will end up in the show, although i'd be delighted to be wrong

How in god's name can Peggy Lipton be 70 years old? She's hot af.

i mean for all we know he could be driving to the cherry pie shop for more cherry pie, muttering "cherry pie" the whole way xp

Peggy Lipton's ability to just cast a warm glow over a scene is really something
