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

Mr C has already been photographed next to the glass box.

wait what

when was that

Oh yeah!

What episode was that? iirc it was someone presenting information on this whole NYC murder to Gordon (?) and they were showing what they'd found in the security camera footage and Mr. C showed up

The Feds see it, it was one of the earliest images on the SD card

In the hotel room Cole is shown a photo of mr c in that room talking to someone in either a lab coat or a trench coat, no?

Yep, a bald guy

It was the ep with moby, we all had a good laugh

2 mobys

Moby Moby

my pet theory is that there will be a Mr. C vs Jeffries showdown. Then there will be a Mr. C vs Dougie/real Coop showdown. Then someone is going to have to fight the thing that's been biting people's faces off (and birthed Bob?) Basically it's like a video game with progressively bigger bosses

that seems a bit too linear/literal for Lynch

Something I haven't seen discussed yet (not that there's much to discuss): the beautifully awkward moment of silence after Lucy tells Gordon about her and Andy's vacation to Bora Bora

Final boss will be The Dreamer.

xp oh god yes, I just nearly did a spit take at my work desk remembering that

Related, someone inevitably found out that if you went to the Paris cafe where they filmed Gordon's dream, and looked behind you as he did, you'd see the museum holding the art exhibit "David Lynch: Plume of Desire."

I feel like that's something Lynch has done sublimely in this series: silent reaction shots when someone does or says something.

The rest of the anecdote ended up being useful but that was what really got me about the "I had another Monica Bellucci dream" statement.

jinx!

Final boss will be annoying accent guy's hand vs. Mother's splooge missle

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.

It is definitely a callback to the scene in the original series where Hank similarly has antlers behind his head (which I am only remembering right now because Chris Mulkey laughs about it in the Reflections book)

Well maybe not on further consideration...

I was hoping for a silhouette shot of the Truman, Bobby, Andy & Hawk like there were in one of the early S1 episodes.

I'm still amazed that one of the major remaining questions is who/what will get a superpunch from a fake Cockney security guard.

If you introduce an enchanted gardening glove in Act Fourteen, it has to punch someone in Act Eighteen: that's screenwriting 101.

the final scene will be a close-up of the talking gardening glove: "i'll see you in 25 years"

The Evolution of the Arm.

Nadine still has super-strength too, right? Or at least did as of 25 years ago?

superpunch Mr. C in the gut. a geyser of garmonbozia propels the bob egg toward nadine, who knocks it out of orbit with a gold shovel

I'd be satisfied with that ending.

Wally Brando rides into the shot.... "The struggle of the human heart in the atomic age: the greatest game ever played." STARRING KYLE MCLACHLAN

I can't believe STARRING KYLE MCLACHLAN hasn't been memed in some way... so much potential

Although Twin Peaks: The Return has hosted an array of Roadhouse performers and spotlighted music throughout its new season, a large part of the show’s sonic identity has been defined by the space between sound effects and music. Sound and music Supervisor Dean Hurley’s first installment of the library-style Anthology Resource series showcases his original sound design and music compositions featured in the show’s very distinctive-sounding third season. From ethereal tones to sputtering electricity to densely brooding musical cues, this release operates as an unofficial ambient score to Twin Peaks, offering a more abstract counterpoint to the show’s official soundtrack and score. (You might also remember Hurley as the drummer from the fictitious band Trouble, alongside Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches, and David Lynch’s son Riley, who performed at the Roadhouse in 'Part 5' of The Return.)

This is on Spotify as well.

The white hand inside Sarah's face has one dark finger: the ring finger of the left hand. It's the same finger Mr C. tells Ray to put the green ring on in episode 13.

i leave the gaff and head round the corner to the hardware store where the clerk won't sell me the bloody glove

spot on m8

Sarah being some kind of Black Lodge spirit host making me sort of re-think the roles of the Palmer family

It struck me this episode that everyone who's been to the Lodge this time round seems kind of clueless and naive - Andy, the glove guy, Matthew Lillard, even Dougie. That seems meaningfully different from 25 years ago when only the show's metaphysical elite seemed able to enter.

what was once esoteric knowledge is now the destination of people seeking answers

I just can't get over how clever Lynch is. Was two Coopers part of the tapestry in Lynch's mind when he wrote that scene with Jeffries in FWWM or is this just an extremely advanced reconfiguring of existiing elements with ideas that didn't exist before, kind of like M Dr. In extremis?

Either way it's pretty mind blowing what he's doing here and I feel privelaged to see it unfolding. I still feel bad for people who aren't watching this weekly.

That was one of the most head slapping "of course" moments, until I realized that I could not possibly have put it together until then

Doppelganger stuff was introduced in the S2 finale, expanded on (a little) with the Jeffries/Cooper scene in FWWM and then *really* focused on for this. it was a process.

It's just awe inspiring.

it's masterful - if he can make a moment from a 25 year old movie that seemed odd and unsettling suddenly become portentious and disturbing, that's narrative power. extremely cool

dunno how much truth there is to it, but there were rumours back in the day that Lynch was planning further Twin Peaks films before FWWM tanked. He may have had some of the ideas we're seeing in this percolating for some time

OMG, what if Lynch pulled a Dr. Parnassus with Phillip Jeffries and recast another rock & roll star on the role, perhaps someone with the initials EV...

i hope not

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.

I am so glad to be alive to have been able to see this episode. I've no words. Genius and nuts.

Will read up the hundreds of posts now. Mind blown.

Some thoughts:

- Are we all buying Diane's confession of Jane-E being her step-sister? The Diane who has some secret communication channel with BadCoop (?) going on and constantly obstructs things? I'm not nearly convinced.
- COFFEE TIME!
- "Who ordered just cheese?" was Hawk becoming one with Harvey Keitel in Reservoir Dogs, loved that
- At one point we are going to see the left glove turn up, right?
- Andy was such a leader after his visit to the lodge, I loved that. Though putting a blind, distressed woman in a jail cell just like that struck me as... ill advised? (I know Andy said it was to protect her, but jeez, find her a better hiding place will you?)
- The girls at the end, in the bar. Billy and her mom, Tina, had a thing. The girl twice, or maybe even three times, said: 'I can't remember if my uncle was there' when talking about Billy being in their home all bleeding. Who's the uncle referred to, do we know?
- "We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream. But who is the dreamer?" This has Mulholland Drive written all over it. Only one director who can get away with all the dream metaphors and it's Lynch.

$20 says this series ends with Jeffrey Beaumont waking up next to Sandy and telling her about the weird dream he just had.

tilda swinton is the best choice for Jeffries, unless Bowie is in this
