So mining FWWM/The Missing Pieces for clues to how Season 3 will play out might not be such a bad idea.

Actually it is a bad idea, because approaching a TV show like it's a school project that you need to research is a loving terrible way to exist, as a human.

Have you ever read a thread in this forum before?

Is there a "best" way to subscribe to Showtime? The iOS app has a 30 day free trial while the Amazon add-on and PS4 apps only have 7 day free trials, but if I sign up using the iOS app, can I only watch through there or can I use my login across all devices? I mean I guess not with Amazon because that would be tied to my Amazon account...

Try using a credit card.

edit: A credit card is a plastic rectangle with numbers on it. It is used to make purchases in lieu of cash or personal cheque. You put the numbers on the rectangle into the appropriate box on Showtime's website.

I love that this season is already separating the men from the boys. This one is for all of us who spent the past 20 years making "Inland Empire" yarn walls. There's plenty of other awesome, accessible Prestige TV in this New Golden Age for you guys to watch. This one's for us Lynch autists.

As someone who really likes the new season, this is a lovely way to approach any sort of art, and you suck for thinking it. There's really not a better encapsulation of this awful loving forum than this post. gently caress you.

In my head I've assumed that somehow Dougie-Coop is putting out some sort of aura that makes people want to help him/not think he needs to be put in a special hospital immediately. It may be a stretch, but given the fact that he has "quest indicators" on certain slot machines maybe it's not crazy to think there's some weird garbage surrounding him.

So far everyone that's interacted with Dougie since Coop took him over has been using him for money, or in an instrumental relationship with him. Jade was helpful, but also wanted to get rid of him. Casino staff don't care because they want to milk money out of you, and are probably used to seeing people with poor grasps of English / mental problems. His wife... well, Dougie just came up with enough money to save their lives from whatever threat they were under, so I don't think she cares much either. His acquaintance seemed to mostly care about Dougie as a job contact. Dougie hasn't really met anyone that has a reason to care about him yet, except maybe his son, who seems to like the change.

One if the strangest things about Dougie is that boy. Is that Dougie's boy? Did a manufactured doubledoppleganger actually have a child? The implications are terrifying.

Maybe we're finally getting the Little Nicky origin story we've always wanted.

Wait, what are people piecing together? When was that line referenced in this episode?

One of Laura's dreams (or trips to the Lodge) shortly before she dies, Annie is bleeding out on a bed, and she tells Laura that "Good Dale is in the Black Lodge - write it in your diary." One would imagine that these are some of the pages that Bob would've wanted to hide or destroy.

I was thinking about this myself. We cut from one one of the most horrific and gruesome TV death scenes I've seen straight into one of the most hilarious and comical. Lynch's tone shifts are just unreal.

Who was the guy that ordered the hit? I think we've seen him before but I don't remember his role. What about the dudes that Watts paid off? Were they the same guys that tried to kill Dougie earlier or not?

He shows up in one of the first two episodes, and it's intimated that he's the one who put the original hit on Dougie. His intern or secretary or whatever asks him why he works for such a terrible person, and the guy says that the kid better hope he never has to do something like that. Also, he saw a trash monster in LA once.

My co-host just called me excitedly while editing to suggest that one of the reasons the chronology is so hosed is because they planned on having a fair amount of it be entire episodes based around one storyline - so for instance we get all the Dougie stuff at once, all the Hastings stuff at once etc (or very close to this) but then someone along the line demanded that say, it all had to be spread out equally, or that they couldn't go too many episodes without any MacLachlan, so they had to re-order it.

Aside from my skepticism that anyone would try and force this on Lynch/he would be ok with it, it actually makes a lot of sense.

I also considered these two things I've read but don't have a backup for as part of the overall reason. Could anyone tell me if these were proven in any way, or just poo poo people made up?
- Lynch originally wanted the 18 hours to be aired in episodes of different lengths, so say one 2hr episode, then one 3hr episode, etc
- Lynch and Frost only wrote the 9-hour version together and then when they got extended Frost went and wrote the Secret History Book while Lynch just kept on writing and adding in extra scenes

Oh my God, of COURSE you have a podcast. lol. hahahahahahahahaha. Holy poo poo, it's perfect.

Gotta say, after rewatching the first 2 episodes, it's very evident that things are very wrong with this timeline from the get go. Just things that I may not have noticed on my first viewing.

Your approach to analyzing media, and please don't take this as an insult, is the approach of an idiot. I'm using "idiot" here in its traditional sense, rather than the one that you are most likely tempted to understand it by, which is, "one who is incapable of understanding essential premises of human life." Rather, here I'm using it to mean, "one who is incapable of understanding nuance in media."

Again, I think that you have a perfectly idiotic (see above) approach to understanding this show. This approach is one inculcated through approx. 10 years of LOST, which is the Puzzle Box.

The Puzzle Box is an approach that one gets primarily through commercials, which you seem to have apprehended expertly. It's a perfectly fine bougie approach to media, and TV especially.

Consumption of media becomes a way to prove one's marginal worth in a harsh capitalist society! Nice! Nice work, in figuring out the discrete series of symbols that will allow you extract tens of dollars from analyzing the show on The Onion Dot Com. I'm glad that you've finally found your niche. I'd love [audible, heartly but diseased laughter] to hear more about your "unique" approach to David Lynch's magnum opus.
