The Dougie sub-plot is the most boring television I've ever forced myself to sit through. I can't imagine what Lynch and Co. are thinking. It's a nightmare. People complain about a show like The Big Bang Theory being lazy, but the people who write that show have to come up with dialogue and jokes. And that takes some effort, even if the jokes are bad. The Dougie plot is just Maclachlan wandering around looking catatonic in a faintly wacky way. Nothing needs to be written and Maclachlan doesn't have to flex any acting muscle. Nothing is happening. It's the laziest thing I've ever seen on a screen, and it goes on and on and on and on and on. Episode after episode. Maclachlan wandering around. NOTHING happening. No writing is happening. There's not even physical comedy happening. Nothing. There is literally nothing more boring in the world that they could possibly film. Watching a film of paint drying would be less boring than Dougie, because at least you could use a film like that for meditation. Lynch is hailed as a genius, and this is what he produces. He produces some great stuff, and he also produces literally the worst thing ever filmed. They should not have given him complete creative control. He's a maniac. Someone needed to step in and shut that Dougie stuff the hell down. What a goddamned egomaniac.

I agree with everyone else that the Dougie stiff is really dragging, but we've also got near of 13 hours of Twin Peaks left. Buckle up

I think people wouldn't be annoyed as much by the Dougie stuff if they weren't expecting him to just suddenly pop out of it back into 1990s Cooper every episode. I think this entire series is going to be about the rebirth and reclamation of Cooper from the black lodge, so I don't think he will be fully functional until the near end.

This but also I think Hawk is going to help him regain his identity through some kind of vision quest or something

I'm okay with Cooper being catatonic for the whole series, but I don't want to watch 20 minutes of it every episode. Show something more interesting.

I liked the part where a lady escorted Cooper who was about to piss himself to the ladies room, and then flirted with him.

The most pro move would be if after the 18th episode season finale it kept going for 6 more episodes and it's all just cooper stumbling around and staring at stuff and repeating people

The final episode's ending will be a roadhouse music scene with Phillip Jeffries singing Blackstar. I want to believe.

nah maclachlan is actually doing some pretty great subtle acting with facial expressions and enunciation of poo poo he parrots and seeing people respond to him is good, that whole bit tonight with naomi watts being furious with him and his "jade give two rides" response and going from livid to bewildered to concerned to scared and sentimental was great i mean yeah i'd love it if he ate some cherry pie and BOOM coop is back baby quipping about drat good poo poo and giving thumbs fuckin ups to any and everyone and i never ever expected that by the end of the sixth episode we'd still have a shambling retard for a protagonist but i still don't find it boring and i enjoy it enough and trust everyone involved here enough to accept it and keep watching. i kept my expectations pretty low from the first rumors of a third season and its all been way better than i expected, even maclachlan doodling fuckin stairs and ladders for twenty minutes when we're six hours into the season

i mean gently caress the show basically opened with jacoby getting a mysterious delivery to his forest hideout that was painstakingly teased for five hours in dribs and drabs and the payoff was amazing

Well, that episode was a lot better than the previous two, that's for sure. Dougie is better as tragedy than comedy. The show is still stunningly slow though.

If you told me this season was composed of footage for an unreleased Twin Peaks FMV adventure game from the 90's, that wouldn't be a surprise. They even built in the long pauses where the characters stare and mildly animate on a loop while you make your decisions.

The pacing and a lot of the situations in this season remind me of Jacques Tati movies.

The inclusion of the laughing waitress, Heidi I think, was a bit on the nose. Except for Bobby and doctor Jacoby no one seems to have changed their occupations, even secondary characters. It works for a diner owner or a sheriff deputy, but a waitress?
