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

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

Having watched 11 parts of this show I'd be more skeptical that any shot footage was left on the cutting room floor.

She casts a warm glow over me and I'm a poof.

hope we get to see norma do more than catalogue receipts

this episode just LOOKED SO FUCKING GOOD, didn't it? It was, like .... burnished???

Random thoughts:

Shelley riding Becky's hood was a straight TJ Hooker moment, biggest LOL of the series.

I assumed the puking kid was another victim of Twin Peaks superdrugs.

Of course Shelley's dating the source of said superdrugs and the biggest psycho in town.

Norma's main purpose in the show is to shoot disapproving looks at Shelley and family every few minutes.

Sorry to ask question after question but does Bobby know/suspect that Red is the drugs man in town or is he only thrown by the fact that Shelly is in a relationship with someone else?

Also, there are lots of victims, dead bodies, and missing body parts lying in the weeds of vacant lots in Lynch's world.

But I mean we know it isn't gonna be that - you know that, right?

honestly i don't. i was exaggerating with the cherry pie thing obv, but dale driving a car + dale turning his head to look at something aren't really conclusive evidence that he'll be 100% proper dale again.

like, he might be 25% dale by the time we get to those shots, who knows

The footage will be in it. This show is billed as "Dale Cooper's odyssey back to twin peaks". That'll happen. I don't see it happening without him being compos mentis in some form or another. Whether he's "100% Dale" is another question (and not a dealbreaker for me either way tbh)

true

Btw this episode makes about 5 minutes of the doppelgänger in the last 3 hours

its hilarious to me that James may only have that one scene where he doesn't even speak (iirc)

I think he said something like "told ya it was a cool place" & the guy with him said "yeah it's the dogs bollocks m8"

I also think we'll see them both again
