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

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

also their badges read "Great Northern Security"

I like to think every successful businessperson in Twin Peaks now has franchises like Norma or have branched out. Great Northern Industries definitely a thing

also my powers of observation are bad

It's very inconvenient that the England, Wales & NI three-day weekend is the week *before* the 2-part finale, feel like the logical move would have been to push it back

Also cannot fucking BELIEVE that there are only two episodes before then. Gonna be some serious pure heroin lynch withdrawal after Sep 4.

no that's the great Binge TP Rewatch of '17

weekend of september 3 i plan on rewatching everything before the final episodes

yeah p sure after this is over I am just going to go back to the beginning (I haven't rewatched anything except the first couple of episodes)

yeah and the furnace-checking scene ended with james looking at... a door with a gleaming knob

also their shirts have great northern patches

my wife was super freaked-out/worried during the whole trek-to-Jackrabbit-Palace sequence and subsequent Andy abduction, worried that something terrible was going to happen to any of them but I was like "no, no this is a good thing, they are all going to the White Lodge" - was relieved it turned out as it did

yeah, i had faith that Briggs wouldn't send his son and others into a death trap, but ya never know in TP.

Old dudes in the woods! Bobby, the youngest, pushing 50 - just thrilling

i mean i'm sure briggs' head separating from his body was not part of the plan, which is why i was worried

so... is the Jackrabbit Palace portal the same spot that Mr. C wants the coordinates to? Or is it the box in NY? (I assume Mr. C knows about the one in North Dakota that the principal & the FBI went to)

also want to throw in that Mad Men Stan's little bit cracked me up, his bizarre desk-slamming & OTT line delivery were great

we saw what andy saw, obviously, and we heard truman and hawk say that they don't remember anything.

what did bobby briggs see?

A palazzo of some vast proportion iirc

blog haus aka the scene raver (wins)

I agree that England should push back their holiday to make room for Twin Peaks

and wales and NI

so what do people think the odds of Bowie actually making an appearance are? Shooting/production began in Sept 2015, but by January 2016 he was dead. on the other hand, they sure have given him an outsize Harry Lime-style buildup/centrality to the plot setup.

I'm betting he shows up
