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

i am really pissed about this showtime/hulu bullshit for the finale. i can watch it live through the showtime app but i'd have to watch it on my laptop (because there's no showtime app for ps4) and watch it at 7 p.m. central time, so i'd have to like lock myself in the bedroom so my kids don't come in and watch cooper get his head blown off or whatever

I'd be interested in predictions of which seemingly-dangling plot threads we've likely seen the end of. Like, aside from the possibility of some cosmological exposition which might elucidate it somewhat, I don't think we're going to get any explicit follow-up on locust frog girl at this point.

Wait I've only just taken in what was said above - so if you don't watch live you have to wait a day? That can't be right. Has that been the case at all so far?

that's what the hulu support person said

I've had it scheduled on the DVR for the rare occasion when I haven't been able to watch live (as will unfortunately be the case this weekend) because I know on demand is often a pain the ass wrt putting stuff up a day or more after it airs.

All of my predictions have been wrong but I'll stick with this one: The Arm is not done evolving.

You'd think this would be the one time they made sure to be on top of it tho. Now TV over here, post leak, had part 16 listed as being available Tuesday but it went on at the usual time Monday morning. Fingers crossed for y'all

The number of scenes that end on portentous shots of doorways/entrances that have ended up being continuity dead ends (farmer, Glastonbury grove, boiler room) make me think there's a possibility we don't return to Becky. The fact that she's Becky makes me think that isn't likely, though.

Besides Becky, they've got to wrap up the Shelly/Red thing in some way.

Judy as Garland Briggs makes more sense than any other theory ITT. Becky is also the Major's granddaughter and therefore directly related to the White Lodge, so I'd be surprised if she wasn't a significant presence in the finale given all the thematic stuff elsewhere.

(My guess is that she's the new Laura and Coop needs to be back in time to save her, which isn't a particularly unique one but it makes enough sense to be right).

I see no reason...

Let me rephrase in context of Lynch

There is zero resonance or feeling imo in this becoming a Christopher Nolan movie ending.

Time loop? What would ever suggest that is where we are heading?

I think Lynch has given us a million reasons to dream bigger than that or 'it was all a dream'

lmao @ kale maclachlan

Lynch does like playing with time & lost highway has a moebius strip structure and the most popular interpretation of mulholland dr is essentially "it was all a dream" and he does love the wizard of oz, I just think when he does these things it tends to be much more slippery and complex than yr nolania

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.

I hope not. It's unusual that those endings are ever satisfying. It was daring in the Mighty Max cartoon but it still sucked.

Yeah, i.e. Lynch's dream sequences are not as simple as 'it's just a dream'. Any time fuckery isn't going to be of the Shyamalan OMG DO U SEE variety, but there's been explicit and implicit suggestions of time fuckery nonetheless and I'm certain that it's going to play into the wrap-up somehow.

^^^

Oops xpost to kale maclachlan

I did see a suggestion along these line that appealed to me more than any of these, that the ending of this will be the ending of fwwm - Cooper and Laura in the red room, the exact scene from fwwm

CAN WE NOT SPOIL THE MIGHTY MAX CARTOON FFS

(tbh I always want to resist the prevailing interpretation of mulholland dr, but in fact I'd say I basically subscribe to it with one important tweak: quite simply, it's just like the wizard of oz - it was all a dream, but not really)

Wasn't mighty max those tiny figurines?

It was also a Saturday morning cartoon.

Story
The background story of the toys was as follows:

Max's dad left him his old baseball cap. Trouble was, this was no ordinary baseball cap..."Gotta look the business" Max thought as he tweaked the cap's peak round to the side. "AAAARGH!" Suddenly, the world had gone weird and very unfriendly! The cap had changed colour! Something very strange was going on! He'd been caught in the Horror Zone. Stumbling from one terrifying adventure to another with only cryptic clues to help him escape...he was all alone. He was scared. But he was MIGHTY MAX, and he'd get back somehow!

It's literally twin peaks

Mulholland Drive is like a myth grafted over real life. Multiple approaches to the same general story, neither of which has a greater claim to 'truth' than the other.

With only one peak xp

Ha I missed that

Sooo who's doing the marathon this weekend

Herself unlikely to allow it

Might anyway

i always MD was a drug-induced fever dream. Diane smokes cocaine, the opening Jitterbug scene is the rush, then we see/hear her blow out a cloud of smoke, then she falls into the red pillow, & dreams until the cowboy wakes her up

I'll be rewatching Fire Walk With Me with some folks who have still only seen the original series

Haha I'm always intrigued by this kind of thing, there must be a fair few ppl who watch this whole return then see fwwm and are like ohhhhh

I wish I could temporarily purge all previous TP-related knowledge and experience from my brain and rewatch The Return as a discrete work unto itself.

That said, I think it'll be a much different experience the second time around, without the weight of expectation hanging over it.

I might do the marathon leading up to the finale, not sure. Part of me thinks that so much of the value of this first viewing has come from experiencing it as a weekly thing, an experience we won't get again & therefore it's most fitting to finish the same way and have a big rewatch of the entire thing at a later date, maybe when the blurays come out. And then be out of Lynchworld for a few years.

If I use another email to sign up for the execrable nowtv trial again, when should the finale be available on that platform, wins?

Presuming they offer it simultaneously to Irish user NB their offering to Irish users has been terrible so far based on earlier trial

Flappy, I love ya but cocaine is unlikely to make you sleep like that..the crash is way later

xp it's usually available like a minute after the live broadcast - I usually start watching it live just in case as there have been a couple of times when it hasn't gone on at the right time, then switch to the on demand at the first ad break

people have different reactions to stimulants, you can nod off on speed. especially regular users. xp

(You know you can watch sky Atlantic live thru now tv right) xp

yeah flappy, you're right..i've crashed on stimulants as well..

Yeah man sometimes I have coffee and go right back into a stupor

^ yeah, i crash often after drinking coffee :-/

We are all Dougie Jones

mmmm... covfefe

"If David Lynch wanted to do another season of Twin Peaks, would you do it?

“Oh yeah. He said if people loved it he would do another one, and the hardest part is just sitting down and writing it. But he had so much fun this time, he really loved it. And he got to do it the way he wanted to. It’s like an 18-hour movie, so he’s happy. Let’s just stay positive. It really turned out the way he wanted it to in his heart.”

Of course she's a Prince fan :)

There's a petition for another season of peaks. I didn't sign it cuz they wanted too much personal into and it's up to David anyway. Figure this will be a satisfying conclusion

My one prediction for the finale is at some point Cooper and Gordon will exchange thumbs ups and it'll be the happiest thing I see all year

I've watched the most of the season live on Hulu with the showtime add on. If you have one of those roku or Apple tv things, it shows up like a minute after the episode starts, but there is also way to watch the live showtime stream on Hulu. This is the link I use for the east coast: https://www.hulu.com/watch/linear/791339

my roku tv has a showtime app where you get a free 7 day trial then you gotta cancel it or else your account will renew it. episodes show up right at 8pm

there are too many things to watch things on
