I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Frost had a bunch of notes on ideas of his that would only surface a little bit in the show, like the tip of an iceberg. Maybe that iceberg is rising up out of the sea.

Thanks!

You can use a pattern that already exists, design your own, or even knit on the fly (if you know what you're doing). I did a bit of a mix of planning out what I wanted while also adjusting things while knitting (most adjustments are in the curtains). If you would like to do one yourself, I can write up a pattern for you - just keep in mind that the organic shapes I'm getting for the curtains are from me feeling out where to adjust the pattern to get that slightly flowing look. Also, I'm using a technique for the stripes called intarsia in order to minimize yarn to weave in and to keep the front looking nice and clean.

Interested?

Yeah! Full disclosure, I've never knitted a thing in my life. I'm thinkin' of asking my girlfriend if she wants to tag-team it while teaching me how to do this stuff. Do you have pm's? I don't wanna keep derailing the thread.

You can characterize people without involving them directly in the plot. What you're implying is that these characters are showing up like Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan in Rogue One. Cameos, basically.

These don't really count:

Bobby: He's now a cop, which means his father's vision about Bobby ending up okay and living a good life may have panned out. Also, Laura's death was such a huge thing for him that looking at her photo 25 years later causes him to choke up and practically start crying on the spot.

Mike: Like Bobby, he's got his poo poo together and has a proper job where he interviews other people for positions. He apparently also detests gently caress-ups, which is pretty amusing.

Ben: After everything that happened, he's still in the same place 25 years later, and avoiding having an affair with his secretary (though he clearly has those ideas, he's not acting on them like he used to). He's definitely settled himself a bit. Of course, there may be more going on than we know yet.

Jerry: Dude's chilling and making pot food on the regular and apparently owns a marijuana-related business. He also gets high and loses track of where he is. Also, he watches Dr. Amp ironically.

These kinda do, but only on the surface:

Norma: We've seen her with just Shelly so far, being kind of like a big sister to her and running the RR together. The RR is such a character in the series that showing it without also showing Norma (and even Shelly, for that matter) would've been strange. The German waitress is more of a "remember that person" include than just about anyone in the new season, but even then her still working at the diner as a waitress tells you something about her character (what little there ever was).

Nadine: With basically two short shots of her, it's similar to showing Norma - her presence so far relates to something else. In this case, all we know is that she loves watching Dr. Amp and she has a lot of fabric in her office, implying she may have started a business of her own. No Big Ed in sight is also interesting.

You forgot one.

James: Still cool.:cool:

Just happened to see the last ten minutes of the new episode again. I don't know how I missed it, but you can hear a horse right at the end after the woodsman walks into the darkness. It seems like every re-watch turns up new stuff with the new series. Very cool.

I've been thinking about how Ray managed to have a gun and the gun in the glovebox that Dopplecoop grabs is useless, and hadn't seen this mentioned.

It seems like Dopplecoop and Ray have probably been in the car together since they left the prison. So there's no chance for Ray to swap the gun in the glovebox. So most likely the gun put in the glovebox was filled with useless bullets, and Ray must have been given a gun with real bullets before they left the prison. Since Ray is working with Jeffries, maybe Jeffries has enough influence to have arranged this so that Ray could assassinate Dopplecoop?

It's also entirely possible the prison warden didn't want to risk letting Doppelcoop live, gave Ray a bonus to kill him, and sabotaged the firearm.

Frost isn't an artistic genius, no where in the same league as lynch.
One scene in the third season that I think is very lynch v frost is the police who come to see the apartment with the body with the severed head.
The police are super formulaic, frosty. But that large woman with the dog and the weird workman is the madness that is lynch. Lynch v frost is the mixture of the mundane and transcendental.

Yes, that's just as likely. But there seems to be so many conspiracies within conspiracies going on that someone higher up made the call on it.

On the subject of Lynch vs. Frost: I would love to be able to attribute Frost moments to Frost, but I really don't know anything that is a signature of his style. Is there anything that is a good example of Frost's work outside of his work with Lynch?

A True Jar Jar Fan posted:

I actually don't want to know who the girl who ate the frog-bug is. I liked the whole scene as a spreading/revealing of corruption across a completely innocent looking town parallel to Twin Peaks. I'm not interested in the world building I guess.

i thought all the speculation on which adult character from seasons one and two was the future self of the 50's kids struck me as kinda funny because i just assumed there was no link between those people and twin peaks other than the supernatural events taking place. it was like a parallel to twin peaks, just like you said. even if he never shows that town or those people again, the scenes will have made their point. there's no need for additional information, it accomplished fully what it set out to do. world-building is cool, but it's not necessary here. it's connected enough already, with just what we've been told.

The Secret History was written entirely by Frost, no Lynch involvement whatsoever that we know of, so if you want Twin Peaks without the Lynch filter it's as close as you'll get.

I disagree, I don't think they'd give us this much isolated information about the characters if they (or what happened to them) weren't important in some way. If they had shown multiple eggs, multiple frog roaches, multiple people being frog roached, I'd agree with you. How important, who knows yet, but I believe we'll hear more about them sooner or later.
