Janey-E seemed to be quite a miserable sack of poo poo too, before Dougie Cooper got them rich (and she realizes he is hot)

It's kind of hard to tell how she was before Cooper arrived. When we first meet her she's still pissed that he disappeared for three days (which is normal), and after that she is rich as gently caress. Who knows what she's normally like? Janey-E certainly didn't tell Cooper to go gently caress himself. :shrug:

Yeah, but the way he talks to him a(and about him) initially makes me think she was not happy with their marriage. Also, we know they owned money to gangsters and that Dougie was quite a piece of poo poo (infidel, gambling addict etc)

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT A LAGRANGE POINT IS?
When Gooper wakes up he's going to realize he's in love with Janey-E and will purposely imitate Dougie until the end of his days.

There's only 3 more weeks left of this show :smithicide:

What am I gonna do once this ends?

(the answer is binge watch the entire season multiple times before cancelling Showtime)

Since this is the thread full of Twin Peaks experts I think this really strange question I have might fit in here just fine.

When I originally watched Twin Peaks about 8 or so years ago, I was watching via my friend's DVD collection of the series. At one point, it felt as though an episode was skipped, literally erased from the DVDs. I wasn't prescient enough at the time to try googling the summaries of the episodes to figure out if we were missing something or not. So, my weird question to the thread: Is there any point in season 2 where it feels like something was straight up missing between two episodes or was there ever a DVD release that actually managed to leave out an episode of the show?

I'll probably re-watch the series once the return is over.

iirc there's like a "3 weeks later" or something after they wrap up the Laura plot line

I want to say an episode starts where Coop is talking to the giant... without any transition into it. It's just "here's Coop talking to a giant now" without any lead-up from the previous episode. gently caress it, I'll just go find it on Netflix.

Edit: Pffft I think we skipped the last episode of season 1 then. Weird.

"May The Giant Be With You" is the episode that is the series premiere, and it is also a TWO PART EPISODE. It sounds to me like you started off with part 2 of May The Giant be With You. I remember having the same problem when I downloaded and watched the series for the very first time like 15 years ago. I think I was getting it episode-by-episode via an irc channel and DCC at the time, haha.

Anyway, season 1 should end with Cooper getting shot, and season 2 should begin with an extremely strange old waiter delivering the (just shot and bloodied Cooper) a glass of warm milk.

"Does this include a gratuity?"

"Yes, sir!"

Janey E is the real Diane who somehow went into the lodge and got her memory wiped like Cooper. Diane is the doppelganger. Calling it now.

We know that the original Dougie Jones was cheating on Janey-E, possibly this whole time. As we also saw in season 2 of the original show, James left Twin Peaks to go on something of an odyssey.

Perhaps he ended up in Vegas and got caught up in another mysterious love affair with a married woman, jealous of her husband's own affairs, except Janey ended up pregnant with James leaving town before finding out...

Because I've been editing as I remember. I'm pretty certain Twin Peaks has more characters than Game of Thrones at this point.

And yeah, so many ee names that it's probably insignificant.

Yeah no poo poo dude. Maddy was a way to keep Sheryl Lee in the show. I was saying he's not from the lodge, just some weird narrative contrivance (a brother who is also sheriff we never saw?)

I wish they just promoted Hawk instead but I wonder if they already had the script with Harry written.

I thought it was pretty funny to introduce this whole other wing of the Twin Peaks sheriffs department, with Chad and dispatch lady and the other people, in the same episode (I think) as Frank. It's winking and going "oh, we just never went to this side of the office".

I lived in a town called Twin Mountain and it had like a 5k population and there was only three town cops and a chief. They would have a Andy or Lucy equivalent on the phones and then the local state police barracks did all dispatch. Which is what I would imagine a real Twin Peaks would do :shrug:
