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

the immediate end of the las vegas crime conspiracy was hilariously quick, barely noticeable despite the fact it closed out an entire dangling threat

guess Anthony is ok now

Otis Redding and the opening scene = oof right in the feels

it’s ok to having feelings about things, not just a gut punch in whatever “feels” gland the memes have documented

goddamn I was not expecting charlyne yi's appearance to be....that

That scene was amazing

I need a gif of the roadhouse mc dancing

wtf

I sort of recognized here and was thinking “Charlene.. li?” having no idea, but I must have recognized her from, idfk, House?!? and almost had her name

she is amazingly good at physical reactions

jeez louise what a sode

Still haven't processed just how much we got in this episode. The convenience store scene on its own already is such a big deal (and... goodbye Margaret... hello (?) Coop... etc.)

i meant a part. bart laMart, what a part.

so glad i finally watched sunset blvd recently! having it be a part of that moment was so special. i too teared up twice. i also laughed inappropriately at the green gardening glove punches.

well those gentlemen were rather rude

Log lady scene was heartbreaking

Those eyes do not look right

Wonder if Renee's husband is the same chuck who stole Billy's truck

Oh shit I didn't even pick up on that choice of name during that scene. I bet he is

(Entirely possible that we'll never know of course)

It's almost 6 in the morning. I know I'm going to be up another hour doing my nut in as to what the "convenience store" actually is

God what a roller coaster

i knew we were in a for a doozy when it kicked off with nadine + ed and then immediately cut to the night driving sequence with evil coop

although, let's face it, almost all of them have been doozies.

The space above the convenience store seeming to contain the twin peaks woods gave the Stephen & Gersten scene an even more ominous context, and the part of that space known as the Dutchman's being the motel from fwwm is yet another example of the entire cosmology of twin peaks flowing from the story of Laura Palmer's life.

Loved the uniquely bad CGI when Patrick Fischler/Winkie's guy got shot in the head

Man in flaphat walking dog who comes across Stephen & Gersten was Mark Frost?

I cannot wait to talk about this next ep with our (relative) celebrity guest this week

Man in flaphat walking dog who comes across Stephen & Gersten was Mark Frost?

Reprising his role as Cyril Pons!

It reminded my of the screaming girl in S1 of #TwinPeaks She's a close friend of Becky's & feels/senses that she's dead. https://t.co/uwazMzqd5j

This delivered in so many ways. Margaret's character dying was profoundly moving. Norm/Ed unrequited love transformation scene, the deflation felt when it turned out not to be Bowie but a badly dubbed impersonator. Lynch knows how to play with emotions and pay off in an exciting way

I can't wait to watch the missing pieces extended version of the scene where James approaches the creepy door in the furnace room that ends with him saying "welp, everything looks normal here. Off to the roadhouse!"

(Do you think this is the same night? Did James get beaten up & thrown in jail on his birthday?)

xp I appreciated that the voice of Jeffries didn't try to improve the accent too much

yeah, it works in a way. Feel like the roadhouse scenes serve as a return to reality for the viewer - this show is intoxicating and we all need a window back

the live version of the Otis Redding track reminded me of how they used the live recording of "what a wonderful world" back in Lonely Souls, possibly another sign that Becky's a goner

Good call :-(

Did anyone bother to pay attention to the numbers the real Jeffries gave Mr C? I just chuckled at yet more numbers but I did wonder if they might be the smaller numbers on the no 6 pole. I'm sure there are theories out there

i choose to not pay attention to any of the numbers in this show

upon rewatching all of it i will consult a wiki that lists the numbers that meant something and then let out an amused "hmph!" every time they come up

In addition to, obviously, all sorts of other horrible implications, Becky's death would presumably have an impact on/shift the dynamics of the yet-to-come second visit to the area near Jack Rabbit's Palace and whatever it will entail.

Ugh, the thought of Becky being dead depresses me like hell right now :(

Lynch probably just killed off Todd so that he wouldn't have to pursue that plot line anymore & could focus on others. And I'm perfectly cool with that because there's a ton of shit this shows gotta tie up in 3 episodes (or it at least needs to do enough tying up - some mystery is still fun)

But yeah this episode ruled. The audrey stuff is starting to drag though

JJL & T.Roth saying "I love you Hutch" & "I love you Chantal" was a pretty obvious nod to Pulp Fiction opening scene.

That whole scene felt like an ott Tarantino homage.

Man, the shots following Bad Coop through the darkness of the convenience store were amazing. Only let down was when the MC started introducing Sharp Dressed Man I thought Xiu Xiu might be about play :(

I like that the Roadhouse MC apparently also just introduces songs that they're playing over the PA. Like between every song he gets on stage and hypes everyone up for "Hot Blooded" or whatever.

Who was the 'bosomy/busty'(I can't remember which) woman in the credits? It seemed like an odd description, and I can't think who that would be.

The person who opens the door for evil coop

xp I wonder if he has any props other than the posterboard with a volume dial drawn on to it

maybe a little thermometer slider for "Hot Blooded"

when evil coop gets told "you've already met judy" it made me wonder whether jeffries is correctly saying he's met judy, or if he's still confused about what year it is and which cooper he's talking to!

also got a little weirded out, do the dopplegangers know all of the things the real ones do? because evil coop didn't seem to be lying about remembering meeting jeffries at the fbi office

Started thinking Judy is Diane.

That woman who opened the door also appeared at the very end, after the credits. It was really really creepy.

Judy and Janey

I'm thinking "Judy" might be a reference to...
http://www.moviemoviesite.com/Films/1958/USA/vertigo/vertigo29.jpg

the only other observation I've got following this episode was that the number Jeffries gave had some weird spacing, making me first think it might be coordinates because every third number looked like an exponent

480 551
looked like 48^0 55^1 iirc

It wouldn't be the first nod to Vertigo in TP, e.g. Laura's doppelganger being named Madeleine.

And of course, in the film Judy and Madeleine turned out to be one and the same...so does it follow that Judy = Laura?

(I'm almost certain this won't be the case, but I just thought that would be a neat bit of symmetry.)

Seen a lot of people suggesting that Judy is major GARLAND Briggs

xps the doppelgänger has all original coop's memories I'm pretty sure, he knew to ask about annie, addressed Harry by name - also none of his crazy schemes would really make sense otherwise as they're all predicated on things & people Cooper knew

Btw the Sarah Palmer Jumping Man thing is kinda blowing my mind, I was very excited to see that incredibly brief flash of JM but didn't see the overlay of her face at all. Was she credited?

The person who opens the door for evil coop

Really? Because of all the words I wod have used to describe her that wouldn't be one of them. It's an odd description for someone who is 'terrifying' 'gatekeeping' and so on - she's also the only woman we see above the store.
