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

Also reminds me of a thing I was taught in art school - never throw anything away. If it doesn't make sense to you now, wait 5, 10, 20 years and it may.

Agent Cooper watching all the movies he's missed in the 25 years in the lodge and saying things like "Borat...extraordinary"

"learned some production dirt today but I'll have to save it for when the season ends"

no you don't

I have heard from TP insiders that the ep they consider to be the single best of the bunch has not yet aired.

aaaaaaaaa

you'd hope so!

btw simon, good work scoring joel bocko for the lodgers! that was a fantastic episode.

yeah he was great, we have a few more folks lined up before the end that I am v stoked for but Bocko is just insanely knowledgable

Has it started?

Gordon, you lech of a ladykiller

that certainly was an episode of twin peaks the return on showtime

Ron Howard: It sure was

hmm yup

I guess there was some groundwork of a sort

Congratulations for everyone waiting for Audrey on their Twin peaks bingo card

What the fuck was that.

Thought the Carl and Sarah bits were wonderful. Well, very disturbing in the latter case. Also: Audrey! Charlie looked like he might be the man Bad Cooper talks to in the glass box photo? Also, lol @ introducing an entire horde of Twin Peaks inhabitants either in person or by name at this point in the show

(The Charlie/glass box connection might be far-fetched, but hey, we're looking to find out who that was and it's Twin Peaks so you never know etc. etc.)

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool wut

diane's connection to the lodge is pretty cool

What lodge connection

sorry that's my far-fetched connection

There we go that's the help I need

Who was the guy that Andy was supposed to meet in the forest?

Grace Zabriskie was the only highlight.

The episode got me wondering if Diane has always been connected to the Black Lodge.

Otherwise it mostly felt like people saying a bunch of names we've never heard before.

Lynch showing that he's way more self-aware than people give him credit.

Aubrey scene was some creeping-up-your-spine-by-the-minute Kafka.

This was an amazing episode. Felt a dozen different things intensely through an hour. How to people watch other television shows after this?

Who are chuck, Tina, and billy?!?

Also I suppose Audrey not wondering where Richard is gives a little weight to the Richard=Donna theory?

what theory is that?

what theory is that?

There's a theory that Donna, being Ben's daughter, is Richard's mother. I don't think that much weight was given to this theory by this episode; if anything, the reference to Richard never having had a father seems to give some further weight to the terrifying Bad Cooper hospital rape theory/hints. I guess that Audrey doesn't mention Richard is seen as a clue by some that she may not be the mother; but it seems entirely possible that Charlie's silence after the phone call was a result of hearing about Richard's situation from Tina. (BUT WHO KNOWS)

can i just

"trés bon!"

"IT'S A GOOD ONE!"

I don't even understand who got shot!!

I also saw Jerry Horne running off the mountain as a direct visual quote of the "It's" man who starts Monty Python episodes, but maybe that's just me.

omg the "It's" man, yes! Thanks for mentioning that.
The man who got shot was the warden.

Clearest evidence that this episode was designed to fuck with the audience is that the star of the show's only scene was to show up and get hit with a softball.

I thought Jerry was a woodsman at first.

This part had the least Kyle so far, right?

This was my least favorite Dougie scene -- what did it add?

Loved the slow-burning shaggy doggedness of this episode.

Cooper's scene was probably the best thing on this ep.

lol xpost

second favorite moment was Ben saying "Miriam... I forgot her last name". (re: Chad poaching TPPD mail)

honestly surprised a lot of people didn't get into this episode. the gordon/french lady scene is the hardest i've ever laughed at twin peaks, so much so that i was crying and sliding off the sofa. the entire audrey scene seemed to be mark frost satirising his own efforts to hide critical details from the audience (imo scenes like this highlight just how maturely developed this show is). sarah in the supermarket was a gorgeous set piece, right down to the brilliant sound design. seeing ben and frank interact over something so devastating was a perverse delight. jerry does one more weird thing in his mini-subplot which by now is surely going to factor heavily into the overall plot. and we know more about blue rose!

also, theories about there being two miriams were spot on. ben even alludes directly to it.

btw everyone (not necessarily ilx) who thought dale was coming back, again, for the sixth or seventh time now, should have known this episode would feature him being a zombie again. no surprise at all. imo that scene was only in this episode so maclachlan would get a screen credit. and did an owl fly over his house in the establishing shot?

I forgot to note, did frank say "Sullivan"? Xp

Yes ^^^

honestly surprised a lot of people didn't get into this episode.

I'm not surprised. There were people complaining about episode 8! Their loss.

Charlie looked like he might be the man Bad Cooper talks to in the glass box photo?

The pacing is becoming the most grotesque feature...

Lynch directing each character spending 20 seconds of pauses between each line of dialogue, or ~10 mins of Ferrer staring at people.
