That's why they fell for the carbomb. The other guys who are trying to kill are almost certainly hired by evil Coop. They told the lady that they haven't killed him yet and she passed the message along to evil Coop in jail via that box in Argentina.

Well they probably blame him for their buddie getting blown up too VVV: oh you're right, I hadn't considered that they were casing it when they drove by the first time. The people he owes money don't necessarily know that's where he was. tap my mountain fucked around with this message at 23:26 on Jun 6, 2017 |

No, they're just assholes who cased an abandoned car, came back to check on it the next day, then decided they were free to steal it. We actually have no info on who is supposed to get the 50k. The assassins clearly aren't, otherwise they wouldn't have been trying to kill Dougie from the get-go. Their mission appears to just be "kill Dougie at first chance."

We don't actually know if the guys watts mentioned were either of the guys staking out the car. It's possible but it's left ambiguous at this point. We also don't know if the guys that got blowed up were even looking for Dougie. Might have just been random car jackers that saw a car sitting at a vacant house for three days.

After ep 4 I wasn't sure if those guys were hired by Evil Coop or to do with the people Dougie owes money to, but the opening to ep 5 showed they're connected to the box in Argentina thing, so I'd say the former is more likely now.

I think it's more likely the black car guys are related to the owed money than random dudes, the development doesn't exactly seem like a high traffic area. The woman across the street gave me a squatter vibe. They could've shaken down his favorite hoo-ah for the last place she saw him.

There's some big fan theory that Dougie is in like 2007 a la housing crash but I think that's kind of dumb Like they base it off of that one blackberry and in the same scene there's a computer with Windows 7 running But every other computer I've seen on the show appears to be running Windows 7 as well

also windows 7 is basically what businesses use now, right? there's massive resistance to early adoption in business, windows 8.x is dogshit, and windows 10 has some fundamental flaws. I dont think Lynch thinks about these things, just pointing out that seeing windows 7 in an office environment isn't a clue for loving anything much less time travel

the original poster used windows 7 being on the computers as evidence against the crackpot 2007 theory, not for it. he was making fun of it. windows 7 didn't exist in 2007

I think it's much more likely that the people Dougie owes a presumable gambling debt to would know where he hangs out / what whores and pimps he knows and get his last known whereabouts from Jade

Ok, fair enough. I guess we'll see if they were the people actually looking for Dougie, or some completely unrelated criminals committing a completely unrelated crime. Only time will tell. Comedy option: they are the people looking for Dougie, but now they are scared of him because one of their guys blew up. Boss bad guy gets mad at his underlings for not being able to collect on some goofball insurance man and sends another crew to get him, just in time for evil Cooper to arrive and gently caress them up. Continue hijinks as debtors and evil Cooper are both looking for good Cooper. Sometimes the debtors see idiot good Cooper and move in for the kill, only to be faced with an evil Cooper switcheroo at the last second. Possibly the debtor crew consists of one dumb guy and one angry guy.

I'm also not too keen on your portrayal of Jade being a bad person. Everything we've seen of her shows her to be an upstanding person who is also a sex worker.

Yeah Jade's cool. We even got a scene where she had a conversation with her friend at the car wash who was totally accepting of her profession, which was nice.

Crazy theory here, but the dude that Dougie called liar. This guy is obviously running some insurance racket. Were he and Dougie doing this together? Does that tie into why Dougie owes someone money, and also why he has presumably been spending lots of money or lascivious acts? It also explains a bit why Dougie/Coop knew he was lying, if coop is tapping into Dougies memories.

I don't have a problem with sex workers, but Jade did just dump a dude who had clearly just had some kind of heart attack / stroke at a casino. He was complaining about his arm tingling, then passed out and threw up and was acting bonkers. I don't think I would call that "upstanding." Not that his wife seems to pick up on the situation any better... Maybe it's magic.

Escobarbarian posted:Wally Brando is amazing and I also liked the Doris scene simply because of Forster's reactions. You really get a sense of how their relationship works. Doris is a shithead though I liked both the Wally and Doris scenes because they set up Frank Truman as a man who just doesn't care about your bullshit. He is clearly exasperated by Wally and just "Why do I have to even listen to this." and his responses to everything his wife says is all very straightforward and rational, but his face says he's tired of doing this all for the 1000th time. They might not seem like key scenes in the Twin Peaks story, but they are key scenes in very quickly telling us who exactly Frank Truman (a character we have never seen before) is. Escobarbarian posted:Just gonna pimp out my TP podcast again as our latest ep just went up. As well as episode stuff we talk about the use of female characters and if all the different storylines will get the time they need and such. It's at http://www.hitwithwrench.com/podcasts/ or search PEAKED on iTunes. I'm gonna give this a listen tomorrow, cause as much as I can talk on and on about Twin Peaks, I much more like to listen to other people talk about it.

Pellisworth posted:Is BOB-Coop the guy pulling the strings behind the weird building and glass murderbox in NYC? Seems to me like the glass box was built by someone who knew that location was an "exit point" for the black lodge, and wanted to study what came out. I don't think Bob would have any use for such a study.

I think how everyone acts around Dougie implies he was a complete piece of poo poo before he got sucked into the Lodge (Janey-E's comment about him having "episodes" might be relevant here). In that light, I think she did more than any normal person would feel obligated to do.
