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?

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

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

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.

/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.
Using "let's rock!" as the description for the "long, confusing conversations" episode was a masterful bit of misdirection - I think the people who were the most pissed off were waiting for the drop

I'll admit I did feel some disappointment while watching the episode after the sheer intensity of the previous episode (Gordon opening to the cosmos has been haunting me all week to the point where I feel like I am Gordon opening to the cosmos), and it felt like Lynch was trolling, but I find myself admiring the episode more and more.
And even if everything else was useless, the Hawk/Sarah/fan scene would be more than worth it. And there's Carl being so wonderful, and Gordon worrying about Albert, and Ben and Frank talking, and the bit of Blue Rose exposition, and Audrey being back, and the sheer excruciating slowness of some of it...

The repeat of the amp/nadine material was strange. Thought for sure we'd see ed

The music used in Sarah's near-breakdown scene was the FWWM black lodge score iirc.

It made me think of Laura's "long gone, like a turkey in the corn" line before she leaves James to head into the fatal woods in FWWM, although Sarah wasn't present in that scene.

there's more! the music that plays just before diane says "let's rock" is exactly the same piece of music that plays in fwwm when dale sees "let's rock" painted on the car windscreen in lipstick. did diane go to deer meadow and write that for dale to see? holy shit.

so maybe "let's rock" was a massively important episode title after all
There was good stuff in this episode but it was my least favorite by some margin, and the first time I've felt at all irritated by the revival. The endless conversations about people who don't seem to have anything to do with anything...just...why? My main takeaway is that this ep was most illustrative of why this probably works best when viewed as an 18-hour movie where little dribbles of expository material won't seem as pointless.
I would've really loved to have seen a Cole & Rosenfield spin-off. RIP again, Miguel.

I liked when Dr. Jacoby's rabid spittle sprung forth and got lodged in his beard.
Any interesting theories about all of the Roadhouse scenes/characters?

frank asking ben to fund uninsured miriam's life-saving operation was jaw-dropping to me as a not-american. if this show were set in canada, she'd already have had the operation on public health.

Audrey was great as a stand-in for the viewer, going insane waiting for the really long phone call to end. As soon as she said "you're not going to tell me??"I knew he wasn't going to tell her. I didn't read spoilers about how many scenes she's in, but I wouldn't be surprised if we never see her again and if Tina, chuck and billy never come up again.
Ep 12 had its moments but it was also my least favorite so far.

Wonder if Audrey's missing Billy might be the Billy from this:

two missing billys is highly unlikely though, even for this show

Yeah, maybe my least favourite too. Nothing really wrong with it, lots of good stuff, but I don't know; it's been a long week and perhaps I just wanted some more meat?
Always good to be reminded of how remarkable an actor Zabriskie is. Such an extraordinary face.

It would be hilarious if the softball to the head is what wakes up Cooper.
― woman in the dunes, Monday, 31 July 2017 05:00 (six years ago) link
And with so few episodes left I suppose it was kind of frustrating (intentionally?) to see Lynch adding strands and treading water (to some degree)
― Eallach mhór an duine leisg (dowd), Monday, 31 July 2017 05:01 (six years ago) link
This was intentionally awful. Feel like the Audrey scene was so bad specifically as a 'fuck you' to Sherilyn Fenn.
― Dan I., Monday, 31 July 2017 05:01 (six years ago) link
I worry about you scene felt like Lynch's genuine heartfelt feeling for Miguel coming alive on screen

I don't know what to make of the Audrey scene yet but I loved the rest of the episode. Especially the Sarah stuff.
Huge lols at Diane flashing back to seeing the coordinates on Ruth's arm and then just saying "Co-or-din-ates...plus 2" when entering them into her phone.
― woman in the dunes, Monday, 31 July 2017 05:08 (six years ago) link
Ah yeah this episode was all over the place. The Sarah Palmer stuff was great - Ben Horne scene and Audrey's as well seemed to go on for fucking ever, though. Loved Gordon and his date stuff as well as anything with Diane but overall this felt, for the first time, like a very random assemblage of scenes.
