tap my mountain posted:I feel bad for Lucy, her husband is basically a different person now for better or worse. The one unshakeable relationship that survived the 25 years is the one most affected by the main plot. He didn't seem all that different when they were putting the coat on the eyeless lady, just that one scene before and I'm willing to chock that up to Andy being Andy. Unless you mean that now he knows the true horrors that lurk underneath the hearts of mankind, in which case fair enough

I don't think Andy seems like a different person at all. I think he's still Andy, but he's clearly been imbued with significant purpose, and that changes anyone.

Even if he is just as sweet and pure as before he can no longer be the happy fool he once was.

He basically treats these cosmic events like normal police business, anyway, so… are we even sure he knows the difference? Like, once this is all over, Andy's gonna file his talk with the Fireman as a 911 call or something.

Well it's fully possible that Lynch knew that she would act poorly and intended for her character to come off that way, but we'll never ever know. Even if he didn't intend it what we got is great.

They are not mutually exclusive ideas. He could easily be getting exactly what he wants from her in the role. She certainly would not be the first awkward character in a David Lynch project.

i don't really understand why people have strong opinions over tammy's character at all, she seems fine to me? she's not any more odd or stilted than any other character in the show, which is part of its charms

Her facial expressions showed her internal monologue perfectly while she attempted to "act natural".

She's there to give Albert a reason to drop exposition on the audience. She's almost completely blank.

Tammy's about as good an actor as Leo was but, fortunately, she's given a lot less to do.

LesterGroans posted:Tammy's about as good an actor as Leo was but, fortunately, she's given a lot less to do. Eh, I'd say Leo was worse, but he got to do a lot more. Maybe if Tammy actually had lines and did stuff it would be better, but I think it just feels like she's there to get info dumped on and to be pretty. And that feels really condescending to her as both an actress and a character.

I thought it was interesting that Cole and Albert seemingly had no memory of the scene from FWWM until Cole recalled it after his dream. Similar to Hawk/Truman having no memory of what happened when Andy entered the vortex. Electricity/weird lodge poo poo induced memory loss?

They forget it until it's relevant to the plot again I guess I don't mind Tammy at all. For a supposedly brilliant agent she sure is relegated to serving coffee a lot of the time though

eSporks posted:Its really distracting, she is very uncanny valley. Which is odd, because she is a real person. And I think that's exactly why Lynch wanted her for the show. She just naturally has this odd, uncanny look and feel that fits nicely into Twin Peaks. I really enjoy it, honestly.

It feels like they kinda know Tammy's limitations and are playing to them. She definitely has a "presence" which isn't out of place in Twin Peaks, but she's just not a good actor.

Rewatching and man Bobby is such a nice guy now. His whole attitude when describing Jackrabbit's Palace and everything is so upbeat and lovely.

At least Leo had some crunch to him and motivation (being a self-serving, drug dealing, wife-beating, contemptuous bastard) and despite how bad his acting may have been, he actually did stuff on his volition. And heck, he became a vegetable and stooge for Windom Earle later so those acting problems went away lol. My eyes almost rolled out of my head when Albert monologues about Tammy's accomplishments half way through the entire season and then she's accepted into the Blue Rose fold. I don't know if any actress could have squeezed much more out of Agent Fidget-hips since her dialogue and charaterization is poor on its own merit.

Popping in again, watching the first episode of the Revival. Halfway through. Matthew Lillard was the last loving person I ever expected to see in Twin Peaks, but I'm really happy. I think he's a super underrated actor. He's doing a great job so far too anyway, enjoy being 13 episodes ahead of me

Man, people think Leo was bad? Guess since English is not my native language I never really noticed that... Still, I miss the guy. Hope he shows up in the last episode, super old, still holding rope with the spider trap in his teeth.

I thought Leo was a pretty big ham but not nearly as stilted as Tammy is. His sock flail still makes me giggle to this day though and if there was a Twin Peaks fighting game that would certainly be his signature weapon.
