"Why were you late Candie?"

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

― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 25 July 2017 05:39 (twelve minutes ago)

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.

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

because she has terrible judgment

Oh yeah, it didn't even occur to me that Red (almost certainly a Black Lodge proxy) coincidentally showed up just before the shot was fired.

From shelleys pov is there any indicator that red is obviously bad news aside from being played by Balthazar Getty?

not from our viewpoint, but presumably she's been around him a few more times than we have

Right, but presumably he's been the way he is when we've seen him with Shelly and not the way he was when we saw him with Richard

I think if there was a smiling machine gun dude at their first date she might be more wary

It's Balthazar Getty, shouldn't she know that dude's trouble?

xp It's Shelly, though... would she be?

"Oh yeah, it didn't even occur to me that Red (almost certainly a Black Lodge proxy)"

I dont' think he is.

I think its arguable that anyone involved with these weird drugs is a Black Lodge proxy.

plus the coin thing

which seemed very much like a Tremonds/MIKE kind of routine

Yeah being a magician is very very loaded in this show

Remember Jacoby's ball tricks in the pilot? HMMMMMMMM...

idk if ppl are still confused about the insurance thing but it seemed p clear that coop-dougie did uncover fraud and that mullins is in on it.

that didn't seem like the case to me. I dunno. I don't really care either.

The yelling woman in the car reminded me of the the woman yelling "Something's stung me real bad" after being accidentally shot through the wall in the Mulholland Dr hitmen scene.

I just keep thinking, lady, you're seriously burying the lede with all this dinner and uncle talk when the kid next to you is slumped down and looks like a zombie

that shot was so strange and unexpected at first I thought the kid was like materializing from the lodge dimension or something, the way he slid up from the seat and then lurched over her, so fucking creepy

also, the woman with her eye shot out in the bushes at the beginning - was that supposed to be the woman that got blown up in the trailer by Richard? or somebody else?
