Yeah, but the odd thing is she's listed as literally "Ronette Pulaski" in the x-ray information. Dunno if that was a slip by whatever system they use to create the x-ray data, or if it was accurate info that they were trying to keep ambiguous in the credits.

I bet that is a mistake on Amazon's part. If the consider this Season 3, then they already have her character info in the system.

I mean, it seems likely that the casting is no coincidence, but I wouldn't read much into that credit.

I like the theory that everyone in the Bang Bang Bar is actually dead and it's like some sort of dream realm akin to Club Silencio.

Good as new.
As someone who only watched Twin Peaks after hearing it mentioned as basically what Deadly Premonition was, and the only Lynch thing I've ever seen (as far as I'm aware) was Dune, I can say I'm really enjoying this new season. I spend most of the episodes laughing my rear end off, so it's much better than most of Season 2, I'll tell you hwat.

Interesting thing to re-watch for all of you fellow folk - Gordon says in his wonderful scene with Albert that he didn't like Coppers greeting. If you re-watch that Cooper actually says "It's yrev very good to see you old friend", i.e. he speaks backwards for a moment. Listen to the sounds indeed.

I almost feel like the Chromatics would be a god updated house band though, I really liked their ending song in episode 2. Felt really perfect and like a could 2017 update of Julee Cruise in a way, though nothing could really top the perfect ethereal weirdness of Julee Cruise at the Roadhouse.

My guess - based on no actual evidence - is that Julee Cruise is going to be performing at the end of Episode 17 or 18.

Nothing too important, and I dunno if I'm reading too much into it, but it's funny enough to me.

So when Cooper kills Phyllis Hastings after chewing up scenery with their affair, I took that as sort of a morbid joke rubbing in the tonal change from the soap opera parody. That aspect of TV is dead to Lynch. Just a passing thought since I thought that bit of the sub-plot got resolved so swiftly and so violently. I don't think that was the sole purpose of the scene btw haha.

The end of part 2 was the perfect way to end the premiere. It felt like Twin Peaks again, and made me feel feelings for James. Which was a shock, really.

Doesn't Albert remember Leland's behavior when BOB killed him? Does he know who is possessing Cooper?

I was talking to one of my friends about sci-fi books, and the whole crippled coop thing reminds me of Blinded Paul from Dune Messiah. I wonder if that's intentional. The hero, back for a second go-round, turned to a shell of his former self, only getting by on his weird second sight.

Rewatching s2e7 right now and the sound ???????/giant tells cooper to listen to on the record in ep 1/the sound that closes the episode is the looping record in the palmer's house when Leland kills Maddie. Just now got that. Duh. The scene also immediately transitions to Julee Cruise at the Bang Bang Bar. lol.

Someone compared a sound from the phonograph to the sound of a slot machine crank, and the sound profile matched perfectly.

Hey, so... I am still working on episode 3, especially the beginning, which I am just not gonna really bother to spoiler tag bvecause I think we should probably assume that this thread is up to date with what has been officially released and people who are wary of spoilers should just be conscious about that.

Anyway, one of the things I noticed that Mr. C seemed to know exactly (to the minute) when his time was up and when he was meant to be sucked back into the black lodge and I think that him being in a car and driving - on a road that was very conspicuously in the middle of nowhere, and absent any power-lines or streetlights. If you watch, ain't no powerlines anywhere near where Mr. C was driving. There is also the fact that Mr. C was conspicuously in a car during this period of time, and as we know being in a car protects you from lightning/live-wire and electricity in general. Electricity always wants to take the shortest path to the ground as possible, and if you are inside a car with your 4 tires planted on the ground any electricity's fastest path is to move outside the car and to the ground through the tires, hence a car is "grounded".

If you look very closely though, after Agent Coopers exits the Purple room through the.... Electrical panel, whatever it was, we cut back to Mr. C and he's veering around freaking out and we keep hearing static and seeing that closeup of the cigarette lighter/electrical car charger - if you look closely it is actually morphing into what appears to be a normal-looking AC/DC power outlet let them that sucks up Dough and spits out Cooper, not a cigarette lighter. Very odd.

I think Mr. C (BOB) was basically trying to take all the precautions he could, and it sorta worked and sorta didn't. Of course I still haven't seen the fourth ep so maybe this is answered somewhere there (lol, right).


edit: I also feel, like, fairly sure that the whole thing with Jade and Doug in the house and the multiple hitmen outside were put there by Mr. C/BOB. He's had 25 years to prepare for all of this, after all. I would imagine this has something to do with Mr. Todd, the Casino Manager (or is he?) but I am fairly unsure. Jade give two rides.

I have no clue how the drug addicted woman downing her last oxy with a glass of knock-off Jack Daniels telling her pathetic son eating Sardine scraps "ONE-ONE-NINE!" fits in. Obviously she means 9-1-1 and has it backwards but.. Yeah

I think he can hear you, Ray.
There's a pretty good discussion on the Idle Thumbs TWIN PEAKS podcast regarding the effects. There are moments of pretty seamless effects, so the use of blatantly fake ones seems purposeful. It can be a copout excuse, but Lynch has always had an obsession with artifice.

I guess the argument is that something that is blatantly artificial should look that way. We're taught that for an effect to be impactful then it should look as real as possible (And certainly that's true for something like IRON MAN) but I think it throws us off completely when something looks completely artificial.

Rewatching the original before I dig into the new series, and I'm noticing so many perfect moments.

Sarah: "Is Laura with you?"
Leland: "No, why?"
Sarah: *voice breaking* "She didn't go with you this morning?"
*Police car pulls up*

I don't know why, but that's such a perfectly succinct shot to convey so much emotion.

edit-- also I forgot that the pilot is basically people crying for an hour and a half.

Earlier, Mr. C switches his Mercedes (which he drove to meet Otis and the gang in EP1) for a Lincoln, which he mentioned that he had Jack "wire." Daria also makes mention of the "secretary's car good to go for tomorrow." I'm not sure if saying Jack "wired the car" means he hot-wired it to steal it, or if Jack did something with the circuitry. Either way, the car Mr. C was driving was important, as it wasn't his usual one, and it possibly might belong to Bill Hastings's secretary.
