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

I've been making horrible jokes about that on facebook this whole season. Stopping now that he's appeared.

I would say almost every person on this thread knows that at least

having never knowingly listened to Moby before I was mercifully ignorant of it

The "twin peaks archive" twitter account is tweeting out some interesting rumours atm (very spoilery if at all true - stuff I'd rather not know about for sure, but I can't unsee it)

Episode 7 Easter egg related to the airplane windows

Lol @ that nonsense

"drink your garmonbozia"

Two songs that sync beautifully:

laura palmer's theme with damn, i wish i was your lover...it's that opening synth

Notice how the spaces within the letters R and O in “Frost,” and the P, R, O, D, and O in “productions” are sometimes filled with white, similar to the masking of the airplane windows.

Here’s a quick transcription of the pattern in the Lynch/Frost Productions outro:

O, PR, O, ROO, O, PRO, R, D, R, OD, PR, PRO, PRO, RO, PROD, D, R, ROD, O, PR, RO, ROO, PR, O, RO, RO, D, PR, PR, RO, PROD, D, O

UPDATE: Seven letters are used, so we can also sequence it like this:

0100000, 0011000, 0100000, 1100001, 0100000, 0011100, 10000000, 0000010, 1000000, and so on…

nope

What if you run it backwards

Dorp dorp dorp

Just finally got to this week's episode. Do I have a hearing problem or did the Mitchum brothers decide to arrange a meeting with "that Brando guy"???

i think he says, "now i know how brando felt"

Suicide!! That's talent!

Still alive...

(MOTORCYCLIST)

He prefers 'motorcycle enthusiast'.

I've been trying to dig up contemporaneous newspaper and magazine articles about OG TP online. I was rather impressed (since most people seemed completely in the dark) by one newspaper article I found where the writer laid out the case for Leland as the killer in much the same way that Cooper did some time before the truth was finally revealed.

I don't think "Still alive" is so crazy - I could see being suspicious about the "identical twin cousin", and hey that's what happens in the movie "Laura"...

The thing about 1990 twin peaks is you can go back and laugh at the insanely dumb usenet theories and garbage contemporaneous takes bit now we are living through it

*but

My trawl through old TP-related articles has been a little disappointing inasmuch as I've been looking for takes that were completely clueless and wildly off the mark but haven't found many. Although I did find an article from a college paper that suggested to readers who were looking for other challenging shows of high quality that they should check out Head of the Class.

that was a typo, it was supposed to say Parker Lewis Can't Lose

Ha. While I don't think there's clues in there, Twin Peaks surely must have a special social media crew right? To coordinate the clues being sent out, maybe even infiltrating in fan forums or whatever? There must be a lot of wacky theories out there to make them laugh. But, I can also imagine a scenario where a big clue/easter egg they carefully crsfted into an episode does not get noticed, so someone of the show will put it out there on a forum or twitter incognito, right?

nah

't Was an honest question, but I'll gladly believe you.

It's just that part of Lynch's schtick is resisting interpretation, so I can't really see him being okay with promoting any specific angle in public

Yeah that's probably true.

Coordinating social media usage by cast members probably not even necessary when most of them don't even know themselves where the fuck this is going

haha yes.

tbh this is also why I find some of the "look at THIS hidden clue! What does it MEAN?!" sort of stuff ridiculous, these kinds of takes seem to ignore Lynch's general M.O., which has never really involved burying "hidden" clues using complex cryptographic methods. He trafficks in imagery and synchronicities and parallels and encourages drawing connections that work on this kind of dream-logic level, but he is not Vince Gilligan, his stuff is generally not designed like some mechanistic, clockwork puzzle that buries easter eggs to reward the obsessive viewer (a good ex. here is the acrostic Gus Fring clue in the show titles of a recent season of Breaking Bad - Lynch would never do that shit)

You know who would, though?

I feel like the closest he's come to that is the Bad Cooper "yrev"/fingerprint thing but even that (associating a reversed word in a ten word phrase with a reversed fingerprint) comes across like a leap of intuition from Gordon rather than some more straightforward Sherlock Holmes sort of sleuthing.

xp

Oh I agree Shakey. But stuff like the thing sticking out of the bumper of the Saturn van, the lights changing on the plane windows... I refuse to believe that's chance or meaningless. Yet I also def don't think it's DO YOU SEE from Lynch. I also don't think it's trolling. And yet it's there... *makes u think*

(I am def not myself a clue figure-outerer so am almost glad not everything is a big hint or something)

itisamystery.jpg prob otm. it is what it is and I'm overthinking this again. this show does that though.

it's strange to think that there was a time when it looked like this season could have gone ahead without lynch's involvement, i'd be very curious to take a peek into the parallel universe where that actually happened

I've never really thought that could have happened. They just wouldn't have pulled the plug until they were certain he was through negotiating.

yeah the cast video made it p clear it was lynch or nothing

so part 11 is being previewed at this comic convention tomorrow & spoilers are inevitably gonna be out there, if anyone comes across any can we agree not to post them itt before sunday?

comiccon is such a vile institution at this point

whatever it is is none of my business

You know who would, though?

Poor Mark Frost, always the bridesmaid

comicon is gross af

had some great years there when it was still, y'know, a comic con though

when I describe what it was like when I was a teenager to modern day attendees it's like I am describing some sort of long-lost ancient continent

(see also: Burning Man, glaciers, book stores etc.)

Regardless of his apparent irl cuntiness, I think the absence of Michael Anderson in the show is sad. I miss him more than anything else in the TP world.

^ that and Julee Cruise who I know will show up at some point!

totally with wins here, let's not post spoilers re: episode 11

let's post spoilers lads

lol I'd actually completely forgotten about Anderson. He was really great in his 2 episodes but idk I can't really say I've felt his absence any more than I do the giant's from fwwm, say

I miss jack nance

I grieve more for Anderson's falling out with Lynch than his absence in the return. feels like his seemingly lifetime-spanning death dream could be the good times making art with Lynch before the no hay banda kicks in. but that's also because I only know him from Lynch stuff, and it's probably far from reality.
