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

(Or he gave him a viewing device like with Andy I guess)

oh man the blood coming out of the drunks mouth looked like oil on the ground? maybe it was agitating naido?

"there's your roast beef and cheese..."

13 & 14 have been so rewarding - I think this is some of Lynch's best work. For late-in-life magnum opus I think Beethoven's 9th and I like this more.

I've got an outsider theory that Dougie is Lynch's own vision of some type of fourth bardo ascended state TM shaman - solving crimes, removing people's pain, kicking it at the slots, defending himself - all with a minimum of words, effort, or even conventional reasoning. I love that it's indistinguishable from dementia. I'm willing to accept that might be proved wrong.

Sarah Palmer's scene amazingly cathartic.

Great post - the bellucci "we are like the dreamer" quote is apparently from the Upanishads fwiw

immediately after seeing the episode i looked up if Lynch hired that motherfucker because of that stupid accent AND pic.twitter.com/8U2CdxoS2Z

loooooool

BRB, forwarding Lynch my astoundingly-horrible celebrity impersonation video in the hopes that it'll inspire one more pre-retirement project.

I can't believe Chad walked in at the moment we were about to learn why Andy ordered a plain cheese sandwich. Now we'll never know, but at least he's arrested. Fuckin' Chad!

Did The Giant allow Andy to "download" all the info surrounding Twin Peaks or...?

I was trying to figure that out. What we saw was kind of a loose connection of all the plot pieces strewn throughout the original series, FWIM, and what we've seen so far, although seemingly in chronological order. Andy got more information, but I'll be damned if I can guess what the message was.

Gordon's dialogue explaining Philip Jeffries had to be the most "character explaining the show to the camera" exposition we've seen so far, no?

The blocking in that scene was as awkward as it could be, Gordon hunched over and Albert and Tammy mostly hidden behind those temporary work stations. Such a weird choice.

The telephone pole Andy sees on the screen in the Lodge--where did we see that before? Was it in the scene where Richard runs over the kid?

also at the old Fat trout in FWWM

great episode, probably my favorite since ep. 8. The scene with Andy in the black lodge -- I basically took that to mean Andy has been given the full story, albeit in highlight form, with all the threads that are supposed to connect. No idea how he'll interpret that, but my guess is that it'll play a big part going forward.

the fucking Sarah Palmer scene. Not even sure what to make of it, but it was great. I'm almost of the mind to say it was merely symbolic of the pain/anger/hopeless inside of her -- but then how to explain what she did to that dude? Maybe she really was the girl with the bug inside of her. Maybe it wasn't an accident that Leland married her, and Bob was out for her daughter.

Honestly not disappointed there was no Dougie in this episode, tho Diane's revelation was !!!

I'm almost of the mind to say it was merely symbolic of the pain/anger/hopeless inside of her -- but then how to explain what she did to that dude?

I'm thinking that given Sarah's past, any pain & anger festering inside her is likely to be of a kind that, when it encounters violent misogyny, might just bite its fucking Gregory off

Sarah's chomping style very silmilar to that of the " box demon" from Episode 1

couple random takeaways:

1) first episode with zero MacLachlan?
2) prior to Sarah Palmer face removal, this episode was squarely focused on the (for lack of a better term) good guys, and it was such a relief.
3) Billy leaking blood from his mouth/nose = garmonbozia? This is the guy Audrey is looking for/has been having an affair with, so if he's some Black Lodge dude = uh oh

also also also

Sarah's confrontation was such a conventional setup (woman faces unwanted advances from asshole), it was reminiscent of the setup with Mr. C confronting the gang leader in the last ep. Similarly, this one took an abrupt left turn into WTF territory, both fulfilling and subverting expectations.

Leaky dude in the cell was definitely Billy?

i didn't make that connection either but things start to make more sense if that's true

xp
was that actually Billy?

also, reminder we have a transdimensional eyeless Asian lady in Twin Peaks now.

If Billy was arrested why would people be wondering where he is/"last person to see him" etc. Sounds more like he disappeared? I suppose the Sheriff's Dept could be keeping it a secret but that seems... uncharacteristic.

no idea where this stuff with the eyeless asian lady (who has a name now, right?) is going. Assumed she was a lodge spirit when she first appeared, but now it's like she's an actual human...? maybe it's Josie's twin lol

She's had a name since her 1st appearance & is Japanese so no Josie connection

McLachlan appeared in Andy's Lodge vision and in Cooper's dream/flashback.

another dumb question but i forgot - what did Chad do to get arrested, other than being a total Chad all the time?

stole mail with the Horne info in it? I mean, technically, he committed a federal crime

as far as the Asian lady, she's another person who could conceivably snap Coop out of Dougie -- if he remembers her, maybe he remembers himself?

Chad is the drug gang's inside dude!

he's getting paid off by Richard

xp wasn't chad accepting bribes? thought the scene early on at the roadhouse implied that

chad is bad

he's been shown doing all kinds of seedy shit, and is the world's most obvious clod about it

it's so hilarious because obviously his coworkers in the sheriff's office hate him and it never occurred to them it's not just a personal thing, they know he's crooked and don't even bother to hide the fact they're angry and suspicious of him. his response has been to just keep being a corrupt jerk, so dumb

I'd say something about how he should be afraid for his job (and possible criminal charges) and it's unrealistic he hasn't been at least a little more discreet

but then I remember there is an actual dude the sheriff's office has wanted to get rid of for a while in my area, and the actual sheriff dislikes him, and the dipshit has been bold enough to _challenge him and run for the office of sheriff_

every time the response has been "yeah we know this guy was canned in california, has suspicion of sexual harassment here, but nothing has been quite fireable so we have to deal with it for now"

The jail scene in this ep was such a great creepy echo of the barking scene in the pilot.

xp oh wait, there's an update, local dude finally got canned! of course he's suing

fucking Dan

Chad resembling an alt-right moron more and more.

haha yes

The jail scene in this ep was such a great creepy echo of the barking scene in the pilot.

YES!

good catch

When we were given Sarah Palmer's POV of the trucker guy in the bar, he was framed by a mounted deer head, an antler set, and another set of bones... Might be a stretch but it seemed a call-out to last ep's Jerkey logo.

I was just thinking about how it seems like all the pieces are starting to fall into place and a handful of the locals in Twin Peaks are being prepared for some heavy shit coming their direction. Andy suddenly seems a lot more commanding and is protecting the woman from the other realm, Chad has been taken off the board and is in jail (with the woman, which might be a problem), and the sheriff and deputies know about the two Cooper thing. And we've got this British lad with the weaponized hand in town. Apparently he can kill a man with a punch (shades of Mr. C) and demolish walnuts with that hand.

On another note, did anyone notice that the humming noise James was hearing sounded a lot like the humming Ben Horne was trying to hunt down? Do we know what kind of business it is where he's working as a security guard? I couldn't tell if it was a warehouse or some sort of other business that happened to have a back entrance and loading dock.

did anyone notice that the humming noise James was hearing sounded a lot like the humming Ben Horne was trying to hunt down

yeah this was my first thought

my first thought was that it was a service entrance for the hotel and he'd found the source of Ben's noise, but that doesn't quite make sense

exterior shot would seem to indicate James works at the Great Northern

why doesn't that make sense?

xp

He's security at the great northern, it's the same noise

ah, the back just didn't quite seem like the great northern, but there you go

I was associating the furnace check with some kind of end-of-day thing, which would be odd in a hotel where it's a 24 hour business, but it's probably an end-of-shift check

They were at the hotel, they showed the hotel before that scene as an establishing shot. And yeah I assume that's the same ringing sound.

that noise has been all over the show actually -- I remember thinking it was the same noise that happened when Briggs threw his dad's vial to obtain the map to Jack Rabbits Palace
