I really am annoyed about the deaths of the dumbassassins. The person who compared them to Tarantino characters the other week is right- their dialogue is intentionally disconnected and aloof regarding the plot we the viewers care about, they're funny in a grounded and realistic way when everything else is serious, overall their characters serve no real purpose but they're still entertaining, and their deaths were completely pointless and unnecessary. But it's the last part that I'm bothered about.

If I was going to a gas station with a convenience store attached and I was getting a drink at the convenience store after filling up my gas tank, for example, I’d just say I was going to the gas station because gas is mainly what I’m going there for. But if I’m going to a convenience store with no gas pumps, I’d call it a convenience store because that’s its main function.

It just occurred to me, and I haven't thought about it for years, much less in respect to Twin Peaks, but was "Convenience" an actual store brand name? I haven't seen one in years and maybe the company no longer exists. But if so, did the company take its name from the concept, or did "convenience store" become a term from the brand, much like we often call facial tissues "Kleenex"?

Magic Hate Ball posted:every night i kiss my Dale Cooper life-size cardborad standup on the Lips and I make a prayer that he will be returned unto us by our great television friends Lynch and Frist and i feel the energy burning in me  Coop's just as dreamy as I remember.  And More posted:Nah, someone brought up that Diane might be a sleeper agent. The message she gets "Around the dinner table, the conversation is lively" is quite similar to the whole "This is the water" poem. So I suggested that maybe Mr. C hypnotised both her and Audrey into helping him. So, Diane was a sleeper agent, but she was also raped and taken to the black lodge and a doppelganger. I guess we were all right, somehow. Also, the difference in spelling was a complete red herring.  Also also, RIP Dick Horne, you were awful, but so is your dad. I still don't believe that he had magical evil genes or whatever. Section 9 posted:On the thought of Naido sounding like Diane backwards, I did a test, and it comes out more as "Naiad". So I don't think Naido is necessarily Diane's real spirit or anything. Diane is actually a water nymph. This is lampshaded by the musical act from last week playing a song entitled Axolotl, as they are a sort of a creature that could be described in an abstract way as a water nymph. Naido backwards is Odain.

That episode was loving fantastic. If you think that the Hutch/Chantal storyline was a "red herring" because of how it ended then I honestly feel a little bit like you missed the point, but then this episode was literally FULL of weird surrealistic/post-modern bits. I almost feel like Hutch/Chantal dying because they were dicks and parked too close to the wrong guy's driveway is totally appropriate! What it reminded me a little bit of was the scene from Lost Highway with Mr. Eddie and the tail-gater. Lynch takes the rules of the road VERY seriously as we all know! It's a matter of public safety, after all. And I was grinning from ear to ear like a goddamn idiot from the moment Cooper woke up for basically the rest of the episode. Really tough not to grin like an idiot at that. Cooper acting like full-on Cooper immediately is great. He also seems to know things, like how to ask MIKE to make a Tulpa of himself for him. And I don't know what he plans to do with it either, but I actually think it's going to figure into his plan for outsmarting Evil Coop, not to be a "replacement Cooper" for either the FBI or Janey-E and Sonny Jim. I hope Cooper gets to have it all in the end, family and work in harmony  Anyway, yeah. I also found the Diane scene to be deeply tense and unsettling. I really thought she was just going to go in there and plug Gordon at ANY moment, especially when she pulled out her cigarettes and not the gun. Diane's Tulpa turning back into a seed looked kinda different from when Dougie-Tulpa turned into a seed. But it probably doesn't mean much. I think "naido" nearly sorta being "Diane" backwards or very close to it could be meaningful, but I'm not convinced. I am really sincerely psyched about next week, though. I also was really baffled by the ending, as I am sure others were.

I'll admit that I only skimmed the US part of the article, and saw nothing about a store named "Convenience" but I distinctly remember the yellow and orange sign that said "Convenience" around the north Chicago suburbs in the 80's.

I'm glad Cooper woke up knowing everything and then some. A lot had speculated that he'd be "Broken Cooper" or just have hazy memories of his time as Dougie, but I'm glad it's full speed ahead. I wonder if Cooper has any of Dougie's pre-Coop memories, or if he was just observing him from the lodge all these years.

My guess is that the real coop isn't going to make it by the end and therefore is engaging mike to create another tulpa dougie to take care of Janey-E and Sonny Jim after he's gone. Hence his promise that he'd come back through that red door again. I'm also wondering if the original dougie was made by coop all along as it seems like he knows how Mike makes them.

Section 9 posted:Oh poo poo it's all coming back now! (flies rapidly up off camera with unsatisfying special effects) uh I think you mean unsettling special effects  I seriously love the special effects. And Diane-tulpa reverting to that weird big CGI orb is just like what happened to the original Dougie, same wonky effects except with Dougie there was this black oval thing that looked like it had broken glass around it and was oozing black stuff. Diane didn't have the 2-D black oozey thing, just the weird floating orb and stuff before she turned back into a seed. Also, 'Naido' really is Japanese for 'No-One'. Perhaps she has something to do with the production of the tulpas, in some strange way.

I think both Coops are going to destroy/return each other and Dougie will return home to Janey-E and Sonny Jim.
