This is back a page, but the "I don't need things" lines are word for word from The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer. So that part at least is Bob talking, or Bob and booper's interests perfectly aligned. My sense is Bob is the power and booper the ambition (basically what Whindam Earle wanted to be), and booper has more understanding about their enemies within and outside the lodge.

IIRC when Audrey shows up in Coop's hotel room naked in the original series he also has a beat as he talks her down where he breaks down as an FBI man, there's a difference between the things he wants and what people need (and right now what Audrey needs is a friend).

I've always seen Booper as less just Bob in Coop's skin and more the relentless focus that Cooper actualizes to try and do good in the world inverted.

Cooper has wants but also an intuition as to what he/people actually need, while Booper doesn't care about needs and only wants things from people.

The way I had thought of it was that Mr. C was Cooper's competence without any morals and that Dougie Jones was Cooper's morals without any competence.

That Cooper seems to have regained himself while Mr. C is still running about seems to have thrown a bit of wrench into this though.

yeah, the wants/needs talk comes when audrey is basically throwing herself on coop's dick and he has to explain to the audience why he is not in fact going to gently caress the femme fatale teenager despite that being exactly what would happen on any other show

iirc as originally written audrey and all the other high schoolers were in college and coop would have been up in that

There's no way to know this, it's all our interpretation.

Becky staring into the sky is the only one of these that did anything for me, it's a really great shot. I do think the show would overall have the same feeling without them, but would change a little if it had more of them. Cutting them would only be bad for me because it would mean losing a Bobby scene and every appearance he's had has been charming.

When did Becky stare into the sky? Are you thinking of Gersten?

I still hope we get confirmation that Becky's dead. She was a piece of poo poo. :colbert:

The effects in this season have literally never bothered me once. They're so incredibly Lynch that they make sense in context and never took me out of the experience.

Something that came up in Escobarbarian's podcast that I haven't seen anyone mention yet: When Mr. C and Richard are walking up to the rock, the doppelganger tells his son: "You're 25 years. You're my senior." He is lying about his age. :lol:

(Presumably because he shouldn't be more than 25.)

He actually says "I'm 25 years your senior." as in he's older and therefore has seniority. Except he's not 50 so he is still lying about his age. It's a weird one. But yeah although I've gotten way better I still garble words and such sometimes :(

That line made no sense. That must mean Richard was born when Cooper was 25. Cooper's birthyear is apparently 1954, so Richard was born in... 1979? 10 years before the original show? It makes no sense unless he's just lying for no reason.

If Richard was conceived by Booper and Audrey 25 years ago, right after Booper got out of the blçack lodge, doenst that means Booper is 25 years older than his son Richard? And that's what I understand by "Im 25 years your senior", but english is not my first language

It seems kind of like they just hosed up there and thought that the line implied Richard was born 25 years ago, rather than 25 years after Cooper was born, and nobody caught it during shooting.

But it is funny to imagine that Booper is going around lying about how old he is

"I'm 25 years your senior" only has one meaning: "I was 25 when you were born", that just seems impossible. He was either lying for some reason or it's just a writing mistake.

I remember thinking "oh so he knows how old Richard is, probably cause he's his dad" as soon as booper said that, then like a minute later he just called him son

Unless I've gone retarded or something, I'm pretty sure that's the same thing. "I'm 25 years older than you" means "I was 25 when you were born". That's obvious right?

Or do you mean he's saying he's at minimum 25 years older than Richard and doesn't know how much older he actually is? That seems pretty weird.

I just smoked my post work bowl so maybe its just me being dumb but what's the difference? there's no way to be exactly 25 years older than someone without your being 25 when they were born. unless like your birth month is before theirs??
