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

You're supposed to look at them

I'm not able to pull up the site at work, is the next episode's teaser "Let's rock" as I just saw elsewhere?

Y

I have to assume that means that Vedder's finally showing up next week.

I predict it won't be the arm saying it but that it also won't be a clever switcheroo where like som me rando says it, it'll be someone connected to the lodge

I also have a feeling one of the final six pullquotes will be "fire walk with me"

Probably means Ed Sheeran is doing another prestige drama cameo.

ugh what if eddie vedder makes everyone listen to a full version of "last kiss"

There's a song by him that was apparently written for this and it's not good, maybe it'll work in context tho

Gordon's right arm shaking and his "Cat on a hot tin roof! It's never done that before!" has gotta mean something - and not coffee withdrawal

Left arms go numb a lot, but right arms shook in that one ep directed by Stephen Gylenhaal

among so many great moments let's not forget carl summoning the vw camper van with his whistle

There's a strong sense that the town of Twin Peaks is breaking down. It could be driven by evil mystical forces or the superdrugs. I also take it as Lynch's commentary on the decay of civil life in the US.

^^^this. The town seems to have become a *really* grim place.

was anyone else thrown by Lynch engaging in overt product placement for the first time in his career, that was really odd

great episode in general

Wait when?

*munches on raisin bran*

hmm what?

albert's samsung phone when he's photographing the body

I just hope that if/when Coop wakes up it is all triggered by some event in the netherworld or something. I just want to see more of that.

there have been some car moments that seemed slightly hokey with branding, but it could just be that they used cars.. which have branding

Norma's ringtone threw me. Felt like about the only thing that definitively grounded this in the present day.

There have been like a dozen different brands of phone/computer with their logos shown in close up tho - isn't product placement meant to guarantee exclusivity? Same with the cars, why pay all that money when rival brands are shown just as prominently. PS lynch hates product placement, it's one of those things like watching movies on your phone that he got really mad at once

the Viva Las Vegas sequence definitely looked/felt like a commercial

I'm really enjoying the way the show is gaining momentum as more and more pieces slide into place

do we have a good shot of the "coordinates" on the corpse's arm? what i could see looked more like pictographs or something than coordinates

The explication of TP mythos via Hawk's map was fascinating. Ancient references to fire that operates like modern day electricity! Black corn as an inversion of fertility! But also...you never thought to maybe pull that thing out and share what you knew at any point in the past 25+ years of inexplicable local activity, Hawk? Really?

xpost I assumed those were the coordinates on Hastings's website.

I'd bet the Bookhouse Boys knew about Hawk's map, but there's some ambiguity about whether Frank has been a member and would have known?

I was never really that into the owl cave type stuff in the old show, but hawk's map is pretty cool

it didn't look like numbers to me but i couldn't see it very well
apparently the awful viva los vegas cover was by shawn colvin

Don't know why everyone keeps expecting Coop to wake up. Wasn't it very strongly implied that bad Coop has to die (which it seems will probably occur after a confrontation in the woods with Bobby, Hawk, and Truman) before that can happen?

xpost loved Hawk's magical plot exposition map. The show is making so many things perfectly explicit so quickly. It's jarring, but I like it!

I died when Coop reached for the wrong champagne glass again after the brief moment of hope following the cherry pie bite

Xp the one armed man said "one of you must die" as like a general statement but also told coop to "wake up" so he must think it possible

half expected Belushi to say "wrong glass, sir"

guys I was referring to the very blatant Raisin Bran product placement, which is different in both nature and prominence to the randomly branded other things that appear in various shots like cars and phones.

rewatching that ending sequence in the restaurant, because i didn't pick up on dougie's apparent return to lucidity.

what is the song that the pianist plays? he switches into a very slow song and dougie immediately turns and looks and is very interested

it accompanies the hilariously over-sentimental visit from his old casino pal:

"i have a dog. i have a house! i have...my life back"

ie, it's brought into a static shot for no particular reason, directly held in front of the camera w logo/branding clearly visible, and then placed outside the shot. it was weird.

xps

hardest laugh this ep: "He's dead!"

what is the song that the pianist plays? he switches into a very slow song and dougie immediately turns and looks and is very interested

I couldn't pick this out (or identify the piano player) either but recognized the tune and couldn't place it. for a second I thought he was going to break into the Laura Palmer theme.

if you don't think raisin bran is very important to the unwinding of this plot then you haven't been paying very much attention to twin peaks

the very slow song is apparently called "heartbreak" and is credited to badalamenti as writer and performer. the fast part sounded familiar though

I think the song played is a new badalamenti tune?

candie. candie? candie look at me!

the very slow song is apparently called "heartbreak" and is credited to badalamenti as writer and performer.

huh I could've sworn there was some other canonical melody in there. also the guy behind the piano in the scene is obviously not Badalamenti (at first glance I was like "is that ROMAN POLANSKI?!" lol)

Ha I guess that cereal box shot made no impression on me

watching that scene where sexy sexy jim belushi eats raisin bran while talking about how he desperately wants to kill someone really made me want to run out and buy some raisin bran

it's just a weird thing to see given that a) Lynch has publicly complained about exactly that kind of shot/set-up and b) presumably there was no real need for sponsorship/placement in this production, given that Showtime was giving him free rein so... why do it?

I am unloading this cart full of raisin bran into the back of my vw van

don't have time to think about it

huh I could've sworn there was some other canonical melody in there.

The song the pianist is playing at the beginning of the scene, before he switches to the slow number that gets DougieCoop's attention, is definitely a "lounge" version of some canonical song, but I couldn't place it.

yeah that's what I was referring to

what's the deal with tobey maguire-looking deputy? he's not bad like chad but there's something off about him. he seemed helpful during the twin peaks chaos scene but then next he's busting in on truman and hawk's meeting to ask truman to look at his new car?
