I hope Karate Wizard kills Richard eventually.

tbh, I'm confused why Laura would appear to Cole at this point when I, if I remember correctly, Cooper is the only one who's talked to her post-death. Also, why reuse old Laura footage when we got old Laura earlier? It looked ok until they did that awful reverse shot. It was kinda spooky (until the last shot) for some weird poo poo since very little happened this episode.

The choices and use of CGI/effects in the show is so weird. Anyone else notice that really obvious and distracting CGI reflection of Richard Horne during the trailer scene?

The visual effects are very schizophrenic, they alternate between being drat good practical effects, followed by SciFi Channel Original Movie CGI, followed by crazy movie-quality CGI effects, followed by that shot of Ray shooting Booper where his gun looked like it had a muzzleflash MS Paint-ed onto it. I cannot for the life of me tell if it is on purpose or not.

By all rights, that was straight-up rape.

It's so weird to see Tom Sizemore given a fairly prominent role in this series after all the poo poo he's been through in the last decade or so. I hope he's doing alright now.

I noticed that. At first I thought gassy trailer lady was holding a headshot photo of him behind the glass but then I realized it was just supposed to be his reflection, but it looked off. So weird.

I just couldn't stop laughing at her getting all into it (yelling, grinding, etc...) and him just grinning and flapping his arms. Seemed like a perfect example of what a first time to a very simple (or just plain inexperienced) person could be like. So funny.

Made me think of The World According to Garp.

Though what was that movie or whatever where the two characters are about in the same relative positions, and she's like "Come on, can't you at least act like you're enjoying it?" and he starts sort of feebly flailing his arms up and down?

Like, I can't just say "season 3 is poo poo" because I genuinely enjoy parts of it and hell, I am paying money to watch it. But the choices and quality are so wonky. Coupled with my "ehhhhh-ness" for the overarching parts, I'm making faces or just simply bored about a half the time.

I can't wait for the pages-long debate about if Dougie was :tvtropes: or not.

At this rate I don't think we're seeing actual Coop until like ep 17 at the earliest.

I don't really give a gently caress. Lol if you establish a criteria before experiencing another person's work of art and don't try to experience and process it then decide if the experience was worthwhile

Jesus, that Dougie sex scene was loving weird, and kinda horrifying considering how childlike he's been acting :ohdear:

And gently caress Richard Horne forever.

We got a lot of plot in that episode and I don't feel much closer to answers at all, except that Diane's definitely scheming.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought this was the worst episode yet. Still a bunch of good scenes though. Richard is loving horrifying, Candie was hilarious (even if I REALLY don't give a gently caress about that storyline otherwise), was nice to see the Log Lady again (seemingly just straight-up giving a monologue about the themes of the revival) and to get confirmation that Evil Coop owns the box and penthouse.

More certain than ever that Richard is Evil Coop's Kid but less sure about Diane now. Very interested to see where they go with this.

Maybe Candy was manufactured to protect Dougie, or for some other purpose. She doesn't act just like Dougie, but does seem a little spacey in her own way.

Her behavior isn't that out of the ordinary for Lynch, so this is probably yet another inane fanboy theory. Sorry!

Thanks for reading!

I dunno, I thought Episode 9 was WAY WAY WAY more 'meh' than this episode.

Any episode with a monologue that fantastic from Margaret to a silent Hawk is pretty good. The bad-boy Horne robbing Sylvia as Johnny looks on was positively brutal.

And there were all kinds of nice little moments in the episode. Harry Dean Stanton strumming his guitar. Nadine and Dr. Amp. T-Bag got a lot of great material and would be stealing any other show with it. The stuff with Candie was totally weird and great. And there was solid advancement on several levels.

I think it's a bit tough for the show to find its legs after episode 8. It's literally like a nuclear bomb exploded in the middle of the season, and even though all the characters are just going on like nothing's happened, we're left without anything in the current narrative to really... connect us to what the gently caress we saw going on there.

If this were ANY other show, we would have gotten something - some point of reference that DIRECTLY connects the events we are currently witnessing to what we saw in episode 8. I feel like the closest we've come was Margaret talking about the electricity, and stating that "Laura is the one," along with Cole's very odd vision of Laura - which he did not mention to Albert, which makes me wonder whether he's seen that before.

But this isn't any other show, so I'm almost glad we aren't getting anything to immediately explain what we saw or why, nor is Lynch holding our hand and telling us exactly where to look.

Anyone catch who that was in the photograph with Mr. C at the end? The bald fellow in the white coat. I did not recognize him as a character but the actor looked vaguely familiar. I assume he was not credited?

I liked this episode but i can see why people would feel disappointed with it - it's just a lot of setup and connecting material. if you really examine what happened this episode it put a LOT more wheels into motion that are surely going to come to fruition sooner rather than later

Is this the first episode that credited Hawk's full name or have I just been missing it? I pointed out his jacket and told my wife, "hey that's not his coat, he's a big fat phony" and whoops no, I suck.
