This show is as far ahead of its time as the original Twin Peaks was. I can barely believe that is possible.

Also, this is the best comedy of the year, by far.

I have to admit this was a weaker episode even though it had its moments. Definitely getting tired of the "watch Dougie try to function" plot.

I think the problem isn't that it's a weak episode, it's just that we don't have the one after it to follow through on. If I was watching the entire season in one sitting it'd probably feel like a smooth transition. Not too many answers but there's important stuff in here and at least we get follow up to Jacoby, the car bomb, etc.

Have we made fun of how lovely Chrysta Bell is at emoting? Because she sucks at emoting. Walks nice though.

In case you were wondering, yes, Mädchen Amick is the same age now that Peggy Lipton was during the original run.

The payoff for Jacoby's gold shovels is so great. And Jerry Horne makes it so much better.

e: David Lynch's son is the guitar player in the band in the bar this episode.

It's charming that she's still at the diner but also sad that Shelley's career prospects never panned out and she's been a waitress for the last two and a half decades :(

The way that digital effect doesn't enitrely cover up the bottom of EvilCoop's mouth is super gross and weird looking. It's pretty great.

A shovel is $10 and a can of spray paint is like $5 so you're really only paying $15 markup for Dr. Amp's craftsmanship.

Right. I think she's the only one, outside of Kyle, that appears in the credits each episode even if they don't appear in that episode.

So the popular theory that it was Briggs' headless body is true. So was he kept alive for 25 years and killed recently? Or perhaps they identified his body in the fire by his teeth, so maybe his head was in the fire but his body kept elsewhere. And if Bad Coop hired people to assassinate Good Coop after he took over Dougie's body, why is Dougie's ring in Garland's stomach? There are many questions.

I watched it with captions on and caught every line of dialogue and I still feel like this! I just have so many questions about the workings of certain characters and subplots that I'm sure it's on me to interpret the answers to.

It really was. I thought for sure it was gonna pan out to show that she wasn't actually moving in the car and I was kinda confused when that didn't happen :shobon:

I hope Coop gets un-broken soon. There's only so many episodes.

The buildup to what Dr Jacoby's shovels were for was fantastic.

It's David Lynch so we'll probably get at least 3 more episodes of this.

I'm liking everything about this so far, with the exception of not having real Cooper back yet. We had enough of Dougie being braindead in the initial 4 episodes, I'm ready for that part of the show to wrap up.

Apparently its been used a poo poo ton in films and tv, but I always think of the cigarette smoking man and how an episode went to a morley factory. X-files owes a poo poo ton to Twin Peaks, so I assume its properly a homage to them.
