I'm just happy that Gobias has turned around on Dougie. While I recognize people disliking the Dougie plotline, I like it and am happy to see nay-sayers changing their minds.

Seems to me he may know and remember everything from his old life, he just lacks a sense of urgency and motivation most of the time. Possibly from sitting in a chair for 25 years, possibly because an evil entity has half his life-force.

He wasn't a dumbo inside the power outlet dimension. I think? I gotta rewatch it.

That scene in the morgue corridor gave me some good old fashioned chills. I love how ominous it felt, even though from an objective view nothing actually happened.

drat fine episode there.

Yeah, but it was some portending some messed up stuff will happen in the future. I was half expecting the spirit guy to walk into that room and tear up the detectives.

I enjoy the Dougie plotline. I didn't enjoy how it was was getting played out, with him mostly just standing around by himself.I understood what was happening, but didn't like the execution.

I really enjoyed everything about Dougie today.

So the airplane windows blink in and out of existence in a particular order and I can't imagine that being anything more than a gag.
I noticed this too and I couldn't tell if it was deliberate or just a weird thing with the way the light hit them.

I can't promise it will live up to the hype, but I tried my best.
It's definitely deliberate--they blink very fast, in multiples, but not in any order that would make sense with natural light.

And after "2:53," this show has me paranoid about numbers, but the window-blinking is beyond me. There was also a prolonged shot of the telephone pole after the hit+run last episode, "324810, 6" which I feel has some significance beyond the camera pan.

drat you David Lynch!

Really feels like Janey-e has some lodge superpowers as well. She can force anyone to bend to her will. Those extortionists should have laughed at her. The answers she gave the cops were flimsy and absurd. She even got Dougie's boss to say "k, we'll do it later".

Or maybe she's just naturally some kind of force of nature. Either way, :swoon: Naomi Watts :swoon: is killing it.

Um Bongo
Just before Dougie entered Beast Mode and loving decimated Joe Rogan, he said something that was so washed out by Janey-E's ranting and the background score. Couldn't quite catch it.
It's probably nothing, him repeating something Janey was just saying to him, but could it not also be The Arm giving him advice on how to counter Ike? Just we didn't get to hear it, as the viewer.

That's how i read the scene and it made me think his reaction was less instinctual and more him directly following The Arm's orders.

So I think i've pieced a few things together. It's starting to become obvious that the Season 3 story arc is (maybe loosely) linked to Phish's classic song "Cavern" which was officially released on A Picture of Nectar in 1992 but had been played out extensively before then. Whether it influenced the original series or not is up in the air, but I think it was clearly inspiration for season 3.
The line that keyed me in, obviously, is the focal point at the climax, "Whatever you do/take care of your shoes". Good Cooper lost his shoes traveling back to this world and they seem to be the one thing that he's missing to make him whole again. But I'll start at the beginning and go line by line.

Your time is near, the mission's clear
It's later than we think

This is pretty obvious, it's the Black Lodge folks talking to Coop and acknowledging that he's been held up by Bad Coop's schemes.

Before you slip into the night
You'll want something to drink

Coffee, duh.

Steal away before the dawn, and
Bring us back good news

Re-statement of purpose.

But if you've tread in primal soup
Please wipe it from your shoes

The black goop from Glastonberry Grove, maybe?

Just then a porthole pirate
Scourged the evening with his cry
And sanctuary bugs deprived
The monkey of its thigh
A dust arose and clogged my nose
Before I could blink twice
Despite the stuff that bubbled up
I gave some last advice:

I think this is all stuff we haven't seen yet, but it could also be the confrontations with the hitmen?

The flesh from Satan's dogs
Will make the rudiments of gruel

I think this is talking about garmonbozia.

Deduct the carrots from your pay
You worthless swampy fool

This probably has to do with Dougie's boss at the insurance agency. Seems like something he'd say.

Exploding then through fields and fen
And swimming in the mire
The septic maiden's gargoyle tooth
Demented me with fire

Think that last line is important.

I drifted where the current chose
Afloat upon my back
And if perchance a newt slimed by
I'd stuff it in my sack

Sounds a lot like Good Coop's travels through space and stuff. Not sure what the newt refers to.

The next few verses are all stuff that hasn't happened in S3 yet, but I'm sure it will make sense soon. I'll skip to the chorus at the end.

Give the director a serpent deflector
I think Dougie Coop is going to give Gordon Cole something important that will save him from a serpent, or maybe just a slippery villain. Remember Bad Coop's snakeskin shirt???

a mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector
Not sure.

a cushion convector, a picture of nectar
Again, not sure, but there have been lots of pictures so far in the season.

a virile dissector,a hormone collector
Not sure.

Whatever you do take care of your shoes
When Coop gets his shoes back I think he'll be back to normal.

This might seem far fetched but it's really not. The ties between Lynch and Phish are pretty well documented over the years, and they definitely have a mutual respect thing going on. (Phish named their 1997 summer festival after a line from FWWM, Mike Gordon directly attributes his aggressive hairstyle to David Lynch, on Lynch's side he's said that he went to over 300 shows in the 90's before the hiatus and he's been seen in LA driving a Suburu Outback with a GUYUTE license plate).

I'll keep posting as things fall into place but I'm sure this is the key to understanding the season.

Great episode. And man I didn't expect them to make Evil Coop as rapey as they have, seeing how this episode basically confirms he raped both Diane and comatose Audrey. (Let's please not with all the typical posts that follow this type of thing, if we could.)

That's clearly referencing BOBs death bag.

You also left out this part:

quote:

The foggy cavern's musty grime
Appeared within my palm

I snatched Rick's fork to scrape it off
With deadly icy calm

which is clearly that weird stuff they scraped off the gun.


My coffee also left a pattern on my napkin, and I'm fairly sure it points towards Dougie becoming a roaming motorcyclist.
