The Elijah Wood lookalike cop mentioned shots at Ed's Gas Farm some episodes back, just after the diner gunshot scene. I was hoping Bobby would ask Ed about that!

Or uh, was the cop referring to the gunshot incident at the diner, which he heard, then made his way over to there FROM the Gas Farm? This is probably nothing but I'm unsure if I've forgotten something.

The latter.

Wow, this is some berenstain bears level tomfoolery going on, here.

I didn't remember the ring being that way. But I look up some screengrabs from FWWM and there it is. The same.

Even the Showtime merch isn't like that.

Shelly and Becky talk on the phone during the day at the diner, and Steven hasn't been home for 2 days. But the whole conversation seems like it happened before Becky went on a gun rampage and the subsequent Becky/Shelly/Bobby talk at the diner.
Then Bobby says at the Diner that they found stuff from his dad "today". So this scene happened the same night that they found the tube, while the scene with Becky/Shelly/Bobby and then the honking woman and puking girl happened a different night even though it occurred in the series after they found the tube.
So not-Chad cop could be coming back from Ed's Gas Farm after hearing gunshots there? I hope not.

That episode loving ruled completely

Richard showing up at The Farm was an AMAZING twist and I can't wait to see where that leads. Audrey scene is still the low point but it's way better than last week as well as shorter. And I may have woken up this whole hotel laughing when Just You started. That was utterly incredible.

Also this had so so so many better examples of "Lynch doesn't do what you expected and it rules" than that lovely Audrey scene from last week, from Evil Coop having to take part in an arm wrestling contest to Dougie's prints being a red herring. Like, THAT'S how you subvert expectations in a satisfying way.

It seems to me that everything but stuff involving Booper and the FBI is out of order or messed with in some way. Has all the out of order stuff been in Twin peaks only?

Wait Dougie has one scene last week that was out of order this week.

First James appearance: Shelly says the phrase "James was always cool."

Second James appearance: James plays Just You and a crowdmember weeps at how beautiful it is.

Third James appearance?: He rides his bike to Evelyn's estate and the two embrace and she says something like "our story was always really good and important and it definitely should have happened??" (Bonus points if this is literally the last scene of season 3)

I think there are a bunch of self-contained story lines, but there might be character crossover. Each storyline is being show in its own proper order, but that doesn't mean that characters from one storyline might not show up in another at a time that is out-of-sync with the other storyline they're in.

As evidence I'll call in the later part of Mulholland Drive where things don't necessarily happen in sequence and you need to use some context clues to figure out how the scenes fit together.

VVVVV Agreed

Hearing Charlie say the "do you want me to end your story" line has me really intrigued. I'm starting to think his character might be like The Cowboy or The Man Behind the Dumpster in Mulholland Drive; that he's really powerful in an inexplicable way and could snap his fingers and reverse the entire world of the show if he so chose. I will lose my god drat mind if this show ends with a twist as big as Mulholland's: for example, if the entire thing is a nightmare Audrey is having while in a coma and absolutely nothing is what it seems.

Really, really loved this episode and was definitely waiting for something horrible to happen at the end of James' performance the way it did in the original run. Cutting to Big Ed alone looking hopeless: Definitely something horrible, though in a totally different way. Poor dude.

Also this Audrey scene was way better in every way.

Yeah I think that's the first time I've seen a Dougie scene out of order. Janey-E says he didn't come home, he appeared to be partying with the Mitchum Brothers all night, yet we saw him playing catch with Sonny Jim last week. Oh well.

Great episode. Laughed to tears when Just You And I started. I liked the touch of not rolling the credits at the Roadhouse, the quiet endings somehow just seem more profound.

I'm not sure I've ever laughed harder at something onscreen than James doing "Just You & I" at the Roadhouse and using the power of his song to make people weep. So unexpected, I loved it.

What did Audrey say about Ghostwood? It was hard to make out some of her dialogue.

That would be horrible, see Dallas.

The only reason it works in mullholland drive is because it's a tool to tell the a story and a way to get into the character's head.

Having a twist that serves no narrative purpose is bullshit, see M. Knight Shamalan or Atomic Blonde.

Oh yah i don't think it would be good!! It's just a terrifying possibility that crossed my mind now that they've introduced Audrey and made her circumstances in this episode feel weirder and more dreamlike than in the previous episode.

I think a more likely twist is that Audrey is actually trapped in a Black Lodge purgatory.

I didn't think I could ever listen to "just you" again without hurling. Which is a terrible pun. Anyway I am surprised that it really worked in this context. Can they also redeem "The Bookhouse Boys"? I hope they don't try.

Absolutely. There's some weird identity shift happening with her. I'm just not sure if this somehow transfers to other characters in the town (or beyond). This show is so fun. I still think the colour of the Rancho Rosa titles is going to play into the plot somehow.

I think Audrey is messed up due to some encounter with evil Cooper. I'd also think that Richard is her son with him but that's almost too obvious for Lynch so I dunno.

From Reddit

quote:

Audrey's been in a coma since the bank explosion and has never woken up. The Ghostwood plotline happened when she was in the bank explosion. No one in her family, in the real world, has mentioned her once. She doesn't know how to get to the Roadhouse. She can't seem leave without Charlie who is very sleepy. She doesn't feel like herself or really know who she is. She seems very angry and bitter because she's been trapped in the coma for 25 years. All of the furniture and electronics in the house is early 50s at most.

Charlie is her subconscious mind that is listening to everything happening around her while she is laying in her hospital bed. All of those random peoples names are either figments of her imagination or they are all the names of her caregivers/nurses in the the real world.

Remember that Audry's fashion choice from the original run was always fifties inspired.

I can't be the only one who was seriously creeped out by the Sarah Palmer scene. The ding-ding-ding followed by the buzzing sound, the open curtains, the mirrors, the black hatstand in the corner. V bad vibes.

Again, from Reddit...

If you watch Big Ed's reflection when he looks out the window. He's still holding his soup cup, then drops it abruptly and looks at it. While in the actual scene he had already put the cup down before he ever looked out the window in the first place.

There's no way that's accidental.

Lynch is loving with us hard, man. It's difficult to tell what's going to matter and what's just to make us have an emotional reaction.
