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

maybe chrysta bell just couldn't whip her piece out fast enough.

One thing I really loved about Part 16 was that first shot of Gordon in the hotel room, not saying anything, just staring at all the equipment looking completely mystified, all while there's this low drone & hum of electricity from all of it. he's just looking at all of it completely perplexed, then it cuts to something else. hilarious

Lurky lurker here—just wanted to thank you all for making these last few months so great.

People are posting docs on the other Lynch thread but I wanted to put this here because it seems to be from 89, i.e. just pre-TP. The style is kind of unbearable but there's some fascinating parts, like Lynch and Jack Nance revisiting the arch from the opening of Eraserhead, and around 21 mins in where he talks about entering into darkness—but only halfway—that can't help but conjure up the Lodge in my mind.
Apologies if it's been posted before, and my posting now, which I'll probably balls up

thank you! i haven't seen it before!

also stick around and say more. you can't possibly be worse than i am - i try to be an inspiration in that way

xpost Yeah I posted that some weeks back. Great doc.

oh my bad, i must have missed it. i love how it opens in a big boy, given all the times he's mentioned how much he enjoys diners

lol, i'll stop live-ilxing the doc but he's literally talking about the eye of the duck in a big boy. i feel like half the think pieces and books about lynch since then have been sourced from this doc

The Jonathan Ross show is really good so far. Great rec, thx

I love the recording session in the janky little NYC studio

one last thing on that 1989 doc capt. j. vee and priory posted - if you don't have the time to watch it, at least check out the bit from 54:00-56:00 for an amazing bit involving jack nance and a tunnel

Julee cruise just leaked a huge spoiler for the final episode so if you follow her on fb don't look.

Not very happy she did this btw and I imagine Lynch and others won't be either but what can you do

Now she's claiming it was a fake so we'll see

Was this posted earlier

lmao

Does anyone have a good understanding of whether the finale will be available on Hulu (with Showtime add-on) on Sunday evening? (My guess is no, given that Showtime itself seems to suggest the finale will only be available on demand on September 4.)

Was that the one during Good Cooper's coma/awakening scene? It seemed crucial that Cooper's heart monitor beeps kept running through it, it was incredible!

yes! it was definitely before he woke up

Definitely one of my favorite moments of the series. I was unsure at first about whether the beeps we were hearing amidst the FBI machinery were still Coop's, but then the episode returned to the hospital bed and... they definitely were.

Gordon seems to have awareness of things - like knowing Diane was standing silently outside the door

Maybe he just turns his hearing aid up to 20

Re Cole

Very likely they tense up whenever there is activity on Diane's phone, non?

It just occurred to me that, aside from Lynch himself, the only actor from the original series who's had any interaction with MacLachlan outside of Lodges and Waiting Rooms is Miguel Ferrer.

uhhhhhh

Where is Showtime suggesting that? That seems like it'd be an extraordinarily unpopular decision

it's for the green glove guy vs Mayweather fight

i mean the first episodes were "on demand" also i think but they still showed up on hulu right after

It just occurred to me that, aside from Lynch himself, the only actor from the original series who's had any interaction with MacLachlan outside of Lodges and Waiting Rooms is Miguel Ferrer.

That's hardly surprising given that neither Cooper has gone to twin peaks yet

well cole and albert both talked to the evil cooper in prison

Right, lynch and ferrer.

xxpost No, not surprising within the context of the narrative, just noteworthy in terms of likely viewer expectation and also in terms of what the cast might've assumed. Like, if you only have knowledge of your own scenes and know that you share zero screentime with the star of the show (or however many minutes you get alongside him in the finale), you probably have to wonder how peripheral you are to the overall project.

oh duh not awake yet

And this also means that (aside from whatever goes down in the finale) Ferrer is the only OG cast member who had any knowledge of what was actually going on with Cooper's character.

Being a returning (or new!) actor in this must be a trip for so many reasons

It's just interesting to consider from the perspective of actors who put their trust in Lynch and who we now realize had little-to-no knowledge of what was happening with Cooper while they were involved in this thing. They were more in the dark than the viewer.

I also asked Hulu support and this is what they said:

Hi! If you're subscribed to the SHO Add-On you should be able to stream the finale as it airs using: https://t.co/vgwcjSoEce. 👍🏽

I'm actually not 100% sure what that means now... whether this implies the necessity to also have access to Hulu's live TV beta (I realized I have the option for a free trial week, so I guess there's that) or whether they'll make this available for streaming as it happens either way...?

My main prediction for the finale: some shit will leak over the weekend

There's some delightful perversity in saving the logical jumping-off point for the reboot (Agent Cooper escapes from the Lodge and returns to Twin Peaks to battle his doppelganger!) for the very last episode of the series.

my prediction (shared with some others, i think), is that the timelines will somehow loop back like a möbius strip. for some reason i can imagine the final shots being coop driving toward twin peaks, talking to diane on his talk boy.

My money's on that too, KM.

It could just as easily wind up with Cooper shooting Doppelbooper five minutes in, followed by a 1 hour 55 minute Julee Cruise set a the Roadhouse. Who even knows, man.

My money's on not that xp

At any rate, I predict with 100% certainty that no one will guess the outcome of the finale with 100% accuracy. As much as I used to relish being dead-on in my predictions in, say, the Breaking Bad threads, I'm just as thrilled to be a million miles off in my TP predictions.

My ridiculous Twin Peaks-themed dance/workout playlist for Sunday concludes with Cyclobe's "Replaced By His Constellation," so that's as far as I'll go in terms of making a prediction (in the broadest sense)

I could go with a literal interpretation, of course. Love the stars theme, looking forward to having Coop in the night sky

xxp I will dine out for the rest of my life on having been right about exactly one thing this season (that wasn't something super obvious like who Richard's parents are), I'm pretty much all predictioned out going into this. Obviously we're all supposed to be guessing who Judy is since they made such a point of telling us it's a character we've encountered already but there's so little to go on that it's almost pointless throwing out random guesses for the sake of it (if I had to, I'd guess she was the subject of the Experiment). Stuff like the giant's clues aren't there to be solved by us, they'll either reveal their meaning or they won't
