They chose to re-adapt Watchmen instead of the so obvious Sandman? Ugh. The film had LOTS of issues, but it’s about as close an adaptation anyone could have hoped for. This will likely be better, but I don’t see it being SO much better that it’s worth not doing something more original.

Wow, us fans are sure picky.

I think she said, “Where’s Dave?” , another 2001 reference. Dave was the astronaut character who ends up in the white room at the end of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

A less than subtle reference to the end of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) for you kids who don’t know your movies and only watch the “talents” on the YouTubes.

“unintended”

She has aged far too well for someone in her character situation. It was sort of distracting how hot she was.

I think why Cooper’s plan to save Laura didn’t go as he expected is because he didn’t know that Sarah is Judy. (Didn’t Jeffries tell Mr. C that he — the real Cooper — already knew who Judy was?) Taking her back to her house would only delay the inevitable.

But it could be viewed that Cooper *did* save Laura. But to do…

It’ll take me awhile to properly formulate an opinion on The Return, but at this point I am dissapointed in how Audrey was used in this series.

Just some random observations:

Here’s to hoping that the Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier book coming out next month will give us some answers.

Just looking at the scene for what’s there, it’s not pointless at all. That was the face of the man who raped her, if not the man himself, so it doesn’t surprise me that she covered it with her hands. It was an extremely vulnerable, uncomfortable scene, as it should have been and illuminated Diane’s psychology…

The running theory is this: Laura, the Golden Orb, was sent by the Lodge Spirits to defeat Judy, the Mother, the Experiment. Bob tried to kill or possess Laura to stop her, through Leland. Judy possessed Sarah.

Personally, I think I really loved the ending. What was Twin Peaks about? Strip away all the lunacy and what was it about? It was about a dead girl and the FBI agent trying to solve her murder and thus symbolically save her.

Maybe it’s Baby’s First Critical Analysis to suggest that Twin Peaks: The Return is an extended meditation on both itself and the original run of episodes, but that’s the most coherent interpretation I have so far. I guess the only insight less piercing than that would be “Dale Cooper symbolically represents the…

Ahahahaha, of course there will be panic buying if gas prices are allowed to spike. If gas is up to $4 now, and you’re worried it’s going to go to $20/gallon, aren’t you going to run out and do all sorts of crazy shit just the same?

I know, I’m a few days late....

“Diane” literally said “I’m in the sheriff’s station.” Who else would it be, though? Mr Spittles?

Richard wasn’t manufactured. Diane and Dougie were manufactured. (and from the comments from ‘Diane’ it sounds like Naido might be the real Diane?) Coop asked for another ‘Dougie’ to be manufactured. But Richard is was born like a person. He’s Bad Coop’s biological son with Audrey.

The first time I watched the original TP was in 2001. In the first post-Leyland episode there’s a scene where Harry appoints Cooper as a Bookhouse Boy and gives him a fishing fly as the TP music swells in the background. I blubbered like a baby.

> I also want to light a candle for Naomi Watts, who has been one of the richest additions to the Twin Peaksroster.
