DrVenkman posted:No that's her first scene in S2. In her last scenes of S1, which takes place literally moments before, she's perfectly fine. It's just jarring enough if you go from one season straight to the next. But I suppose it's so they can do the whole 'Dose up Audrey and extort Ben out of money' plotline. Depends on how metaphorically your take on Bob is. It could be that the meaning is that Leland was sexually abused as a child himself. That's the interpretation that makes the most sense imo. Why else is a demon spirit just chilling by a lake 35 years ago. It could be that Bob is speaking through Leland and just loving around with the investigation.

Arturo Ui posted:I'll point you to the Josie doorknob scene for lovely effects in the original series. Or some absurd looking compositing where an owl was overlaid on BOBs face. On the Idle Thumbs crew's Twin Peaks Rewatch podcast from a few years back (very very good btw), they make the point that Lynch probably doesn't care how realistic things like that look, that's it's the idea of the thing that is important to him.

"You fools, you thought you liked something, but as it turns out, the director is getting paid money! He's laughing all the way to the bank while you sit there and enjoy his work!" He sounds like someone who, against their expectations, never became nearly as financially successful or even stable as they expected when they were younger and resents anyone who is. Legit sorry, spuds. Being financially insecure is stressful as hell.

Barreft posted:Episode 4 was much better, less trippy poo poo and more actual things happening. I'll continue on. But, it's really kind of pointless. Nothing will make sense, nothing will mean anything. You're essentially turning on 2001: A Space Odyssey right as Frank goes into the monolith, skipping the two hours of build up and exposition. Season 1 and 2 are on Netflix. Hell, if you're super pressed for time watch S1 E1-3, S2 E9 (I think?) and the last two episodes. You can even skip the movie, though you really shouldn't. But those episodes take up only about 6.5 hours and will make everything make so much more sense.

precision posted:Seemed to me to be echoing the zig-zag pattern on the Lodge floor. And the way it's used in the title sequence. The swirling movement is very unsettling and almost makes me feel a bit nauseous. Contrast that with the original title sequence which is as peaceful and pastoral as can be. The difference in tone has to be deliberate and I'm sure speaks to what the tone of this entire season will be.

I'm always a bit surprised that Luis Bunuel doesn't get more mention as an influence on Lynch. I feel like That Obscure Object of Desire, for instance, could absolutely be passed off as a David Lynch film.

Dr. Fishopolis posted:i mean, you could keep going back to bergman and maya deren and fritz lang as well. i feel like every generation has a handful of great impressionist filmmakers and lynch is definitely among them. True but I feel like Bunuel in particular has a very similar sensibility. Touches of humor that are very similar to Lynch, much moreso than Bergman, for instance. There's a scene about 12 minutes into That Obscure Object of Desire that was hilarious and completely took me by surprise at how unexpected it was. The movie also has the doppleganger motif. And thematically it's just such a strong, singular vision. Not that Bergman doesn't have that as well, but Bunuel seems almost a kindred spirit to David Lynch. Their voices are so complementary to each other, so of a particular type.

It was bugging the hell out of me, who the woman the hitmen called looked like. Especially her mouth and expressions, I couldn't put my finger on it but they looked so familiar. Looked up the actress and I still don't recognize her per se, but her pics made me realize she looks loving EXACTLY like Chloe from 24.

weekly font posted:The amount of time the hit and run lasted, especially at the end cutting to awful extras doing extended over the top reactions like we were suddenly dropped into Birdemic actually got me laughing. Really couldn't disagree more. The way this shot happens in any other show is the kid gets hit, we get a close up on the mom wailing for 3 seconds, and then cut to another scene. But that's not how it happens in real life. IRL, the scene continues and people do stand around and no one knows what to do and it's the most surreal poo poo ever. Having been involved in a couple similar incidents, I feel like this was the best recreation I've seen of how it actually feels to be in that scenario. It *doesn't* end. It just keeps going, and your mind struggles trying to come to grips with how something so horrible could be real and how it has the audacity to relentlessly continue being real.

kaworu posted:Yeah, I'm going a bit off-kilter with the quantum mechanics stuff. I've had similar ideas and was trying to think if they're was any concrete connection we've seen between the real world (I'll put the FBI and Twin Peaks storylines here) and Dougie's arc. One thing that might argue against it is Jade's scene with the Great Northern key. If this entire scenario is a dream, why do the characters exist outside of Dougie's bubble? Ditto for Ike the Spike. But I do like the idea of Dale still being in the red room somehow, that this is all a snare set by Bob to trap Dale and keep Bob on the outside. It'd go a ways towards explaining how no one has really texted appropriately to Dougie's behavior and how people have names like Janey-e

Baloogan posted:dougie's ring in the decapitated fat body's stomach That shuts down my theory pretty definitively. There are still mysteries no matter how they try and resolve it. How long ago was Dougie created? How can someone that was clearly marginally competent / aware and apparently only nominally functional get Naomi Watts to marry him? Has she never wondered why he has literally no family? Is she a creation too? And the kid?

Really feels like Janey-e has some lodge superpowers as well. She can force anyone to bend to her will. Those extortionists should have laughed at her. The answers she gave the cops were flimsy and absurd. She even got Dougie's boss to say "k, we'll do it later". Or maybe she's just naturally some kind of force of nature. Either way,  Naomi Watts is killing it.

Franchescanado posted:I mean, I knew it was a joke at kaworu's expense and other armchair theorists, but it also felt earnest enough for it's own ridicule. And I wanted to tie into my joke of people needed theories to justify a strong female lead in the series. Just lol if you think a legit human Naomi Watts would have a name like Janey-e and, despite being intelligent and strong willed and basically capable of anything would marry a schlub like Dougie Jones who apparently even in his normal routine is so weird that his current behavior doesn't set off any alarms. Like, what was their courtship like? Why did she, of her own free will, fall for this scrub? That's not what a strong, well written female role would do, it's what a niceguy's idealized woman does.

So the frogroach was the potentiality for Laura being implanted into Sarah, yeah? But why the poem from the Woodsman? To get Sarah to fall asleep? But he's an evil spirit or whatnot, and Laura was defined in this episode as the counterweight to Bob, basically the agent of the White Lodge. Why would the Woodsman help?

n4 posted:Why do people think the girl is Sarah Palmer? The last thing we saw before the 1956 scene was Laura Palmer in a pokeball. Then something fell to earth and something crawled out of it and implanted itself into some girl. Our options for who this girl is: 1) The show has now introduced characters we're going to be spending time with going forward, in another timeline. So we'll have storylines in the present and in 1956. Seems really late in the show to introduce an entire storyline. Seems unlikely to be this. 2) It was a one-off scene that has no real point other than to be creepy. I mean, it's possible but everything in the show so far, even if it's weird and trippy or w/e, has directly related either to the current storylines or to characters from the original run of Twin Peaks. Just a random scene with no meaning or relevance seems unlikely. e: I guess the musical numbers aren't relevant at all but those have a very different feel than an actual scripted scene and also have been established as a "thing" throughout the entire show, whereas meaningless scenes have not. 3) At least one character in the 1956 scene is someone we know / relevant to the main storyline. The girl is obviously the main character in this vignette so it's most likely to be her. As mentioned, the immediately preceding scene is of Laura Palmer in a pokeball. If the girl is Sarah Palmer (don't know her maiden name), it would explain most everything in the scene, Woodcutter aside.

Maybe frogroach = Bob, but even if he were born right away that would put him at about 34 years old during the events of TP and Frank Silva is nowhere near that in 1989. e: I guess he was born in 1950 so he's 6 years older than he would be in this timeline, not that big a difference. Thought for sure he was late 40s. e2: timeline would be about right for Cooper, and I could see those two as his parents. But there's no other scenes that support this interpretation. e3: Cooper's canonical birthdate is in 1954 and the scene is in 1956 so I guess that's ruled out. regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Jun 26, 2017 |

Phillip Gerard was a normal person as long as he took his meds -- was he a spirit-being born in this manner or just some guy possessed by a spirit direct out of the lodge? e: Also, Leland remembers Bob from when Leland was a kid, yeah? regulargonzalez fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Jun 26, 2017 |

el oso posted:Outside of the surreal stuff, I'm interested in how Ray managed to fool Dirty Cooper. He somehow ended up being the one with a loaded gun, leaving DC with the empty revolver. Did Philip Jeffries somehow influence the warden to screw over DC? Well, remember Booper has some crazy control over electricity and technology anyway. How the tracking devices will report the location of the semi instead, idk. Let's say that Booper hacked into the truck's GPS and forwarded those coordinates to the tracking devices.

There have been nods to almost all of Lynch's films throughout this season. No idea if it's supposed to be relevant in a "Dark Tower ties in all of Stephen King's works" kind of way or just easter eggs or nods to his previous work but it's fun spotting them. The driving scenes where you just see the headlights lighting up the road are straight from Lost Highway.

bobkatt013 posted:I thought they were major Briggs and the chick is what intoduces him to the wierdness of the supernatural Can't be. In the episode where the FBI chick sees his body, it's mentioned that it's the body of a 40 (or early 40s?) year old. Briggs is killed around 1990, and obviously some shenanigans are involved to introduce his body to the current time but that means he was born in 1950 or 1948, 1949ish, depending what age they said. That would put him at 6-8 years old in 1956, and the boy was clearly older than that. e: Just checked and he's actually stated as being in his late 40s. Let's say 48 in 1990, that would put him at 14 in 1956. Seems plausible!

Gatekeeper posted:i dunno, it all seemed kinda obvious to me especially with the majority of posters here all saying the exact same things i was thinking while watching the show. like as far as surreal abstract w/e art goes, this was relatively straightforward. the only thing I've seen anyone post that i don't agree with was the whole sarah palmer thing, i really do not think that girl was sarah palmer, otherwise yeah i think everyone's analysis has been spot-on. i think if you kinda threw your hands up at the beginning and said "jfc what the gently caress is this poo poo, it's ridiculous artsy fartsy bullshit" and just angrily watched the rest of it in frustration, it might have been easy to miss some stuff and not really follow things, but if you watched it with a more open mind or some eagerness i think it would have been very easy to follow. i don't mean to sound like i'm talking down to you at all but i really do think the weird imagery was surprisingly straightforward and even hard to miss Agreed that the storyline was fairly straightforward. Lynch gets called a surrealist but honestly most of his stories are fairly logical and even simple in plot ("a girl in trouble" is how he describes many of his films), just told in a non-expository, somewhat surrealist manner. I mean, Un Chien Andalou, that's some surrealism for real. Next on the spectrum would be something like The Holy Mountain, then maybe The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie. Lynch's surrealism is on a par with, say, Pan's Labyrinth.

When I saw Starship Troopers for the first time I thought Denise Richards was either the best or worst actress I'd ever seen. Her performance was just so weird. Obviously time has told the tale on that account, but I'm getting a similar vibe from Chrysta Bell this season. But with a hint of more intentionality.
