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

Sweet. The music in this show has been great. Even when it's been bad, it's been great.

NA OTM about the appalling Viva Las Vegas.

it was about as limp and soulless as the vegas strip actually is

the whole sequence dropped me right back into that singularly unappealing place, so much so that the gorgeous desert vista was a striking relief

It's like you guys have completely failed to notice that Albert's been munching Flamin' Hot Cheetos (and often exclaiming, 'Now that's flamin'!') through this entire thing.

tbh it's a stroke of genius to make albert grumpy about everything except his beloved flamin' hot cheetos

The piano song has one part that resembles the verse melody of Sub-Culture, but it seems a stretch to say it's a cover.

Wait, why were the casino brothers eating a balanced breakfast at 2:30pm!?

the relief i felt that it was 'only' a brutally maimed miriam crawling out of the woods in that first scene says a lot about this show

Because as Casino owners they probably work until 6am. Xp

Oh, right

it was a nice touch, that they're loaded and have a servant making them coffee, but they sit together on a tiny bench and eat cheap cereal.

hey buddy that’s not supermarket generic band, it’s Kelloggs

cereal seems incredibly expensive for what it is

stop this

albert repeatedly talking about flamin' hot cheetos is a hoot, but tim the tool man taylor mid-opacity over the twin peaks opening sequence? that's just wrong

Last weeks episode put a bad taste in my mouth so I was a lil scared to watch this one, but wow it was amazing! I really hope that the woodsmen make more appearances, they're easily one of the best characters in the revival imo

but tim the tool man taylor mid-opacity over the twin peaks opening sequence? that's just wrong

even jim belushi would win in a poll against tim the tool man taylor

"Why were you late Candie?"

"There was so much traffic on the street... There were cars everywhere."

xpost

it's true

wilson against jim belushi, though, the matchup of the titans

wilson wouldn't have to remove his face, at least

So does this tie into the increasing likelihood she's not just a space cadet, she's a Lodge Spirit like Dougie?

The lady in the traffic ranting at Bobby was very reminiscent of Mike shouting at Leland when they're stuck behind the truck in FWWM and she was desperate to get to a dinner she was late for, and to see people she hadn't seen in several years: "Around the dinner table the conversation is lively."

So does this tie into the increasing likelihood she's not just a space cadet, she's a Lodge Spirit like Dougie?

having her do the spaced-out thing right behind dale felt like deliberate blocking to me. it could be a red balloon herring though.

has it been mentioned that some feel Candie is Laura's Lodge version. Not sure what I think of that tbh

Why do more scenes of her acting like a space cadet increase the likelihood she isn't one?

"Traffic on the street... Cars everywhere" came after the crash outside the RR and Bobby's interaction with the car occupants.

I think she said "the strip", as in vegas?

Hmm. Could be.

Mind you, given Mark Frost's love of conspiracy theories it might be worth noting the story of Candy Jones and MK-ULTRA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_Jones#Mind-control_claims

what if Candie has a hidden earpiece and is the worst spy imaginable for the actual LV criminal syndicate? she pauses when she's listening to directions

that would at least explain why she took so long to bring Sizemore's character to the brothers' office -- she's working for the same people and was filling him in

What if she's a robot, bet you guys didn't even think about that.

I'm open to many options at this point

the Candie/showgirls as Lodge emissaries idea makes no sense to me

Candie is the Xander.

One thing that's really interesting to me about this series is how badly the sheriff and deputy chief are dropping the ball on their own community and constituency which is in the middle of a massive drug crisis (overdoses, couriers running over kids in broad daylight, teens melting from the inside out apparently, and zombie children firing guns into diners). Frank and Hawk are caught up in a 25-year-old cold case, and all the support Truman's offered to the drug situation is "awww gee, that's horrible...well, back to the conference room." I'm curious to see how Lynch works that angle or if he even acknowledges it.

That seems to be a big part of the plot, so I expect he'll address it.

or maybe they don't see the cold case and the problems in twin peaks as being mutually exclusive

Kinda feel like any self-respecting TP lawman looking to crack the drug case would be all over the Renault currently tending bar at the Roadhouse. Just sayin'.

teens melting from the inside out apparently, and zombie children firing guns into diners

I'm not sure I agree with these 2 example being connected to a drug crisis (instead of something like persistent rashes)... Those kids were like 12 and 6?

Little Denny whatsisface who OD'd was like 11 I believe

yeah i feel like those two uncanny children in the traffic scene kind of take the 'local rot' thing beyond the realm of a drug plague.

re diner scene-- i know Norma is the silent conscience of everyone else, but the moment when she makes eye contact with Becky, nods like 'go ahead now' and suddenly Becky remembers to be concerned about her mom flying off a car hood was truly strange

I don't think the sheriff sees a connection between the Palmer case and the local rot yet, but I do think that connection is coming.

It may be a stretch, but if we assume that there's some intentional force with an interest in despoiling TP's populace (the Black Lodge cultivating garmonbozia or whatever), it makes sense that that force might do what it can to divert Bobby's attention immediately after he's made overtures that potentially threaten the town's drug-induced pain and sorrow.

that is a v interesting notion

How funny was it when Balthazar Getty took off running down the street

why shelley why
