I think it's definitely possible that the coffee snapped him out of it, but it's also deliberately left open until next episode. Which I can hardly wait for.

She was in Blue Velvet, Wild At Heart and Inland Empire and Lynch thinks very highly of her, and prior to this new series he announced that she would play a very important character. I think it's more that we finally get to see who that is and it turns out to be the enigmatic Diane.

Of course, given the tight continuity of actors and roles in this show, this means Diane has always been Laura Dern.

After all the negotiations between Lynch and Showtime and all the on-again-off-again rumors about budget and runtime and creative control and Showtime finally giving in to all of Lynch's demands, I would fuckin love to know what it was like in the room when he said OH YEAH BY THE WAY IN EPISODE EIGHT WE'RE GONNA HIRE NINE INCH NAILS. FOR A SCENE LINK
That's the issue you use to trap the executives in a room for seven hours until they finally relent and give you Nine Inch Nails, and then you show them the rest of the episode 8 script.

That is definitely exactly what the whole sequence in possibly the White Lodge reminded me of. It's the fixed camera angles, repetition of perspectives as characters move through, and, of course, characters doing stuff on weird objects that you have only a vague idea how it relates to anything.

So let me get this straight:

-Dougie Cooper was "manufactured" in 1997 with no documents testifying to his existence and displaying odd behavior that is blamed on a presumed car accident

-At the same time "Dougie Cooper" also got his job at Lucky 7 Insurance

-Dougie Cooper and an experienced senior employee of Lucky 7, Anthony Sinclair, were involved in insurance fraud for Duncan Todd. The owner of Lucky 7, Bushnell, is unaware of their behavior. We have no idea if Danzig Cooper is aware of this

-Evil Cooper is aware of the time and place of Dougie Cooper's soul-switch and trusts Duncan Todd to get him him assassinated minutes after the switch as he leaves a shady neighborhood.

-Todd's hitwoman fails so he hires the infamous Ike who also fails.

-Todd calls Anthony Sinclair to reveal an insurance fraud case that Dougie and he had against Todd's personals rivals, the Mitchum Brothers, owners of Silver Mustang casino. This would give motivation for the Mitchum's to hire a hit instead of Todd. The Mitchum brothers are also under the impression that Dougie-Coop scammed them out of a shitload of money during his Mr.Jackpots thing.
My impression was that the fraud was 100% Todd and SInclair, and they're just now pinning it on Dougie.

I don't know, I think it's fair to discuss TM. It's a big part of Lynch's life and influences his creative process.
I mean, sure, but if the TM discussion had been in any way related to how Twin Peaks is written and presented, that would have helped a lot.

Agreed. I always whine, "Already?" when that happens.
I used to until I caught on that the musical number is usually signalling the end, but it's useless because now I go "already?" when the neon sign comes up. In that regard, there's almost a Monty Python influence here in how sometimes it's not at the end.

I will say, Kyle Maclachlan hit it out of the park with Danzig this episode.
I associate MacLachlan so strongly with Cooper that there has been more than one occasion where I watched Mr. C go about his business and thought "goddamn, this guy's badass, who's playing him again" for a split second before feeling very silly.

Rewatched the last episode and I don't even see a reflection at the end on my TV.

Nevermind that though, check out how happy Candie is at the start. Everything worked out and she gets to do something nice for Bushnell and she's so overjoyed she's almost crying. Candie owns and Amy Shiels owns.

There's definitely something going on wth her. I've read somewhere a theory that she is still in the coma, and it does makes more sense
A character's mental workings in an extreme state of mind being presented as a realistic, but in some way off, scenario is basically Lynch 101 at this point.

I like to check the thread after an episode, and I was particularly looking forward to it after last one. Half the reason I laughed at the song as much as I did was picturing the reactions, and you can pinpoint the moment very well.

Of course if anyone gets pulled into a surreal black and white space it's gonna be the guy with his hair standing on end.

I had this pet theory that whatever was possessing Sarah was benevolent but inept, trying to shield her from the world and keep her functional while she's desperately traumatized on the inside, so when she entered that bar I thought, neat, another Sarah scene, let's see if my theory holds

Can't really disagree. Imagine we'd had that scene two or three episodes ago, everyone complaining about wasting ten minutes on the fireman story, then the Giant comes on today and introduces himself and everyone loses their poo poo.

Well it took three quarters of the runtime for professional pop culture writers to find one aspect they can latch on to and write weekly speculative articles about that bring in the clicks, I guess that's as much as we can hope for. Game of Thrones has “who will die“ and Twin Peaks now has “who is a tulpa“.

I also had trouble understanding the dialogue in the Hutch/Chantal scene, anyone else have that problem?
Yeah I only ever get like a third of what they're saying. I also had hearing problems during the big Sunset Boulevard scene and completely missed that there was a call for Gordon Cole. Kind of not the best way to see that scene but MacLachlan makes it so obvious things are falling into place in Coop's head that I still got it.

Isn't Charlie probably just a manifestation of Audrey's inability to wake up from her coma? The "threshold" is the gateway to the waking world, the "dweller on the threshold" that Hawk mentions is maybe some being that exists partly in dreams, partly in reality.
Yeah, that seems to be more and more obvious (if you're familiar with Lynch's tendency to portray the inner workings of an extremely altered mind as realistic but strange events). Maybe what she thinks of as Billy is a separate personification or just represents the waking world.

I mean, if nothing else, it's kinda hard to think of an insect-like amphibian that crawls in your mouth after you've been put to sleep along with the whole town by a guy who's jonesing for a smoke so hard he's resorted to crushing craniums with his bare hands as a force for good.

e: ^^^ I'm still in the unconfirmed camp myself but I have to admit, the pressure of evidence is mounting, especially knowing how much evidence for anything David Lynch usually gives.
