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

Also glad to know someone shares my distaste for turkey jerky

It made me think of Laura's "long gone, like a turkey in the corn" line before she leaves James to head into the fatal woods in FWWM, although Sarah wasn't present in that scene.

Gobble gobble

The music used in Sarah's near-breakdown scene was the FWWM black lodge score iirc.

there's more! the music that plays just before diane says "let's rock" is exactly the same piece of music that plays in fwwm when dale sees "let's rock" painted on the car windscreen in lipstick. did diane go to deer meadow and write that for dale to see? holy shit.

so maybe "let's rock" was a massively important episode title after all

There was good stuff in this episode but it was my least favorite by some margin, and the first time I've felt at all irritated by the revival. The endless conversations about people who don't seem to have anything to do with anything...just...why? My main takeaway is that this ep was most illustrative of why this probably works best when viewed as an 18-hour movie where little dribbles of expository material won't seem as pointless.

I would've really loved to have seen a Cole & Rosenfield spin-off. RIP again, Miguel.

the "I worry about you" scene fucking killed me

with sadness

Have to admit to being mostly baffled by this episode.

I liked when Dr. Jacoby's rabid spittle sprung forth and got lodged in his beard.

Any interesting theories about all of the Roadhouse scenes/characters?

tbh I think it's just a slice of life deal. I like those scenes as lil breathers, reminders that some banal stuff is happening amidst the crazy

frank asking ben to fund uninsured miriam's life-saving operation was jaw-dropping to me as a not-american. if this show were set in canada, she'd already have had the operation on public health.

god I want jacoby to yell "single payer now!" so bad

Audrey was great as a stand-in for the viewer, going insane waiting for the really long phone call to end. As soon as she said "you're not going to tell me??"I knew he wasn't going to tell her. I didn't read spoilers about how many scenes she's in, but I wouldn't be surprised if we never see her again and if Tina, chuck and billy never come up again.

Ep 12 had its moments but it was also my least favorite so far.

Wonder if Audrey's missing Billy might be the Billy from this:

definitely the same billy

nothing is definite tbh

two missing billys is highly unlikely though, even for this show

Yeah, maybe my least favourite too. Nothing really wrong with it, lots of good stuff, but I don't know; it's been a long week and perhaps I just wanted some more meat?

Always good to be reminded of how remarkable an actor Zabriskie is. Such an extraordinary face.

It would be hilarious if the softball to the head is what wakes up Cooper.

And with so few episodes left I suppose it was kind of frustrating (intentionally?) to see Lynch adding strands and treading water (to some degree)

This was intentionally awful. Feel like the Audrey scene was so bad specifically as a 'fuck you' to Sherilyn Fenn.

I worry about you scene felt like Lynch's genuine heartfelt feeling for Miguel coming alive on screen

I don't know what to make of the Audrey scene yet but I loved the rest of the episode. Especially the Sarah stuff.

Huge lols at Diane flashing back to seeing the coordinates on Ruth's arm and then just saying "Co-or-din-ates...plus 2" when entering them into her phone.

Ah yeah this episode was all over the place. The Sarah Palmer stuff was great - Ben Horne scene and Audrey's as well seemed to go on for fucking ever, though. Loved Gordon and his date stuff as well as anything with Diane but overall this felt, for the first time, like a very random assemblage of scenes.

Is anyone else watching Jacoby's programme? I wonder if it could be role-played therapy for Nadine...

Jerry Horne watched it previously

Ah! I knew someone had, but I couldn't think who it might have been.

we had some brilliant visionary stuff in parts 1, 2, 3 and 8, but this is the fourth episode in a row without anything magnificent or red-roomy happening (apart from gordon's brief swirly-sky moment last week), so maybe people are starting to feel a bit dry. dale only got 20 seconds of screen time too, which i reckon would have upset a lot of people.

i'm also seeing people complain about audrey being whiny, which is fucked. she's justifiably furious because her husband (a) is being a dick and (b) won't help her find someone she's hugely worried about. if a guy reacted exactly the same way nobody would be calling him whiny.

she seemed very audrey-like to me

otm, in a good way

This episode started with a red room sequence, and we got otherworldly stuff in the form of UFO TALK so I can't imagine what people would have to complain about

yeah, diane even stepped through a gap in the red curtains

one of the more meh episodes imo..grace and ben scenes being the saving grace, but felt like killing time to me

chromatics at the end was a nice touch though

the Audrey/husband stuff just felt unbelievable to me, i dunno

Everything that gets singled out as not working in this episode I'm like "no that was great wtf" but I have to say as a whole it threw me

Charlie is a classic soap opera cuckold imo, & you'll be pleased to know he's almost certainly back next ep if the description is anything to go by

The Carl scene was great. I love Stanton so much. Still cannot believe that guy is in his 90s.

sherilynn fenn was bad

original audrey went undercover as a call girl to try and solve a murder, this one shrieks at her husband to go to the roadhouse with her so she doesn't have to go out at night by herself, felt like a betrayal of the character

but mostly fenn just couldn't sell her scene

If she has zero respect for the husband (what an odd looking guy btw), why would she ask for his assistance? It didn't really work for me

this one shrieks at her husband to go to the roadhouse with her so she doesn't have to go out at night by herself

if it turns out bad dale did rape her, i wouldn't hold her fear of going out alone against her tbh

i'm also seeing people complain about audrey being whiny, which is fucked. she's justifiably furious because her husband (a) is being a dick and (b) won't help her find someone she's hugely worried about. if a guy reacted exactly the same way nobody would be calling him whiny.

If a man was asking his wife to help him find his mistress and berating the wife for not satisfying him, thereby causing him to cheat?

It was an incredibly odd scene for a bunch of reasons. If this is actually a missing person situation, the police should be involved. If there is some reason the police can't be involved -- if Billy is involved in crime of some kind -- then the husband's relative, (annoying) equanimity is misplaced.

fair point, although it seems he didn't know she was cheating until halfway through the scene

i'm sooooo tired

felt like a betrayal of the character

26 years is a hell of a long time

sure i guess the whole s3 is about betrayal of character
