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

Okay I looked it up and it's definitely the illness - around the time of filming a bunch of NCIS fans who had experience with throat cancer were speculating that he had the disease based on a sudden change in his voice :-(

that james interview is great. he's always been cool

Btw did hawk see something out at Glastonbury grove? He doesn't mention anything to anyone

This was never followed up on at all btw. I don't normally get hung up on these things but I'm starting to wonder if a couple of things might b slightly out of sync

wins I assume Hawk saw what Harry Truman saw the night Cooper went into the Lodge: the curtains appearing behind Sycamore Grove. It's implied that that entranceway only appears at certain times or on certain occasions so I think Hawk was just going out to check that the log's info was correct.
It certainly looks that way, but that's what I mean: the next time we see hawk he's following up on the first phone call only (something is missing), telling the sheriff "hey I got this one call from the log lady, might be nothing but her info's been good before"; you'd think from the sequence of events as we're shown them he'd also be like "oh and btw I got this other call about the stars turning and I went out to the woods and saw some magic red curtains", but he doesn't. It's a strange scene to have no consequence whatsoever.

I just rewatched the first two parts - which holy shit btw, highly recommend doing this - and there is just no way that scene of him seeing the curtains is in sequence. He gets the call from the log lady asking what he's up to & says something like "your log & I are on the same page. Something's supposed to be happening tonight".

Yeah, the last couple of parts have made it especially conspicuous that scenes are being presented out of chronological order, but I think it's already implicit in that scene, and explicit in Part Three, when Cooper's passage through the Glass Box is shown to take place while Sam and Tracy are meeting outside the room in Part One.

Yeah, if anything those two examples seemed to be setting us up for this sort of thing to be more of an overt feature than it actually has so far in the rest of the series - just a few scenes shuffled around in an otherwise linear story since then

The furniture ordering scene with Andy and Lucy strikes me as more of a jab at marriage banality than contempt for the characters.

it's a beautiful scene, she won by getting him to acquiesce as a display of his love for her by letting her have the beige chair and then she won the display of love contest by getting in the final surreptitious acquiescence by gifting him the red chair that he wanted.

i'm a bit fuzzy about who resides inside og cooper's body currently. the good dale went to the lodge, and was replaced by bob in og cooper's body. then the good dale inhabited/ got buried too deeply within dougie's body, while the spirit of dougie went poof. then bob exited og cooper's body, and is no longer with him. neither the good dale nor bob inhabit og cooper's body now, so who is he that's walking around doing all that awesomely heinous stuff?

really hoping there's some kind of dark crystal endgame between dougie and bad cooper to bring back the good dale in light of the upcoming great conjunction.

he is cooper's doppleganger or shadow-self. i think bob's still in him, but i'm not entirely sure.

cooper is also imo not in dougie's body, they traded places at 2:53 (c.f. cooper is much thinner than dougie), cooper's just uh like wildly and metaphysically punch-drunk sorta? is how i see it.

important to note that Andy ultimately won the get the chair color that you want contest

Andy is truly a chess grandmaster.

xp yeah, Mr C is cooper's evil doppelgänger seen at the end of s2. The doppelgänger left the lodge with BOB, leaving the good Dale stuck (this is different from leland's situation where he was simply inhabited, which I guess is why people get so confused about this?).

It's unclear where BOB is now - we did see him being removed by the woodsmen but a lot of people assume he was put back in straight after and we just didn't see it. In either case he's the doppelgänger, with or without BOB. It's not cooper's body (remember the fingerprints); Cooper is in Cooper's body and always has been. I don't know where the "Cooper is in dougie's body" idea comes from, they made sure to show as clearly as possible dougie's body disappearing about a minute before Cooper comes out of the electrical socket. Plus, you know, if Cooper were in dougie's body he would, um, be in dougie's body. Which we saw, and it looks completely different.

I was looking at carel struycken's Wikipedia and apparently he's in the upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's gerald's game, the thriller about a woman stuck handcuffed to a bed after she accidentally kills her husband during roleplay - can only imagine it'll be something like this

http://nerdist.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Twin_Peaks_S2E8_53.jpg

I read Gerald's game in my early teens, but from what I remember I can't imagine making a film/show of it.

The central idea is suitably panic-inducing but I remember it being quite bad. I feel like they'll have to take some liberties with the adaptation but then again I would never have said it was an adaptation that needed to happen so who knows?

I mostly remember the dog looking about, then eating the body, and the looming threat of it's (shared) hunger. Other than that it was hallucinations, right?

Hallucinations and repressed memories of childhood molestation (I didn't remember the dog)

a necrophiliac serial killer also drops in for a bit

rewatching inland empire, forgot about the brief use of brubeck, lol

I'm starting On The Air for the first time in over a decade.

this show continues to be the best thing ever. extra excited for tonight cos numbers!

On the Air is probably the worst thing Lynch ever put his name on

yeah it's mostly crappy

Is noted TP spoiler-complainer Adam Bruneau - who I sided with on the p4k thread - now spoiling TP on here?

That's more a speculative prediction than a spoiler, though. At this point, I've accepted that Cooper's return to the world is the story Lynch and Frost are telling, so my own hunch is that Cooper will remain a holy fool until he meets Mr C in the final episodes. I'm ready to be proven wrong, though!

I really hope Audrey gets to leave that room tonight.

Just realized i am not going to be able to watch the finale when it airs :(

@one way street: It was mostly challops from me (I trust Adam knows that) but at this point "cos numbers" already reads like a spoiler to me, lifted from some trailer or Showtime thumbnail or whatever. Do not want to read or see that. Mr. C and Coop showdown however, Lynchian style, bring it on.

Shakey, whole season I have to deal with the time difference and not being able to see the new episodes before Monday night. Wish I could offer words of consolation, but avoiding this thread on Monday morning at work alone has proven to be a fucking annoying nuisance. You're not alone though, all I'm saying.

I mean, I think those are all frames from Part Three...

The delay does sound frustrating, though.

every girl crazy bout a sharp dressed man

uh holy shit, I have been insanely skeptical of every “Coop is coming back” theory but... what he heard on the television... and he paused it.. and..
the outlet?

what a cliffhanger!

rip dougie

ok but seriously what an episode i cried twice???

what was it that he heard on TV that made him react? (that was Sunset Boulevard, right?)

"gordon cole!" i assume

oh, I missed that!

full body sobs at the ed/norma kiss. otis redding perfect music choice

Killer episode ( no pun intended) though the Audrey stuff just feels like bad high school theatre at this point. Other than that ... absolutely great.

Yeah I teared up at Margaret Lanterman's big scene

It was “Get me Gordon Cole” or something to that effect

when he didn’t even fumble at pausing the television and had that facial reaction, and then heard the electrical humming and....

then again, we might see him next in the hospital waking up, with Janey hovering over him, hard to say

ok but seriously what an episode i cried twice???

me too, Norma & Ed kissing to Otis Redding did me in.

"In Memory of Margaret Lanterman"

had the same reaction as maura, I was nearly heartbroken, but then when Norma’s first point of conversation was selling her stake... so happy

yeah margaret's big scene made me cry also

Coop is very slowly coming back, even the way he ate his cake, and the way he moved the saltshakers around. The facial expression was closer to real Coop.

I think the implication, although it could always take a right turn, is he just got a big download from the great beyond via electrical outlet

I wonder how Lynch feels about ECT

Last week's episode was everything I could've asked for from an episowof Twin Peaks. This week's was like that times four.

I'm going to have to go back and watch the Steven/Gersten scene again with captions turned on.

The Norma/Ed scene was so frustrating in a way - they basically reenacted the end of season 2, but first had Nadine walk miles to tell us that Ed had actually stayed with her after she snapped out of her high school super strong state. Having already seen Norma and Ed finally get engaged in season 2, it still felt like a stab in the stomach knowing they'd been delayed by 25 years.

The Las Vegas texts -- is "Las Vegas?" What Laura dern gets verbatim where she says "they haven't asked yet" or is it a new "Las vegas" text
