"These tales of impending doom allowed the Golgafrinchans
to rid themselves of an entire useless third of their population. The
story was that they would build three Ark ships. Into the A ship would
go all the leaders, scientists and other high achievers. The C ship
would contain all the people who made things and did…

OK, but chronologically, they match up with the end of the series, not the time frame of FWWM.

Were both in an original FWWM script? I did not know that. Any way, chronologically, these two scenes (the extended Cooper/Bob scene in The Great Northern, and the one with Annie at the hospital) take place after the end of the series, so these are the last scenes one should watch before moving on to Season 3.

Rhetorically, yes, i.e., a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma…

Yeah, I m wary of those, too, as ultimately, everything has the potential for multiple, even contradictory, meanings. I was just suggesting a cultural antecedent for defining these kinds of "spirit attachments" or "demonic possessions."

After decades of slaking his every appetite, the entity known as "Bob" has grown cold and exacting in Cooper's flesh. Before, there was some semblance of balance with his returning to the "Black Lodge" to share his "pain and sorrow," but for 25 years, he has kept it all inside.

It took many years of wrangling to get the funding to color correct the deleted footage, edit and score it properly to Lynch's specs. Therein are the last scenes of Major Briggs, Agent Jeffries, the "sick" Sheriff Truman, and old Pete Martell. Two scenes are shown separately that were mashed together in the movie. …

Not officially. The "Missing Pieces" are meant to be seen after FWWM.

After watching four hours of this past midnight, I am in a strange and wonderful space, like Cooper floating in that cube.

The "horse" symbolizes Bob's possession of Leland and Dale's bodies- as in Hatian Vodou, the "Loa" (intermediaries between Bondye, the distant benevolent creator, and human nature) arrive by mounting (possessing) a "horse" or "Chwal," i.e., the person in the ritual who lets the Loa into his body.

How 'bout, "the Sand People are Manimals, so I slaughtered 'em like Animals?"

Let's set it to music!

I am 99-75% sure that it's Missy, owing to the uptempo version of "Pop Goes the Weasel" that was played at the end of "Knock Knock." Missy, so loves to "pop" the pain away of all the pretty balloons she sees humans as. Scary Poppins, indeed.

Hm.. maybe so. So, the remaining 100-year-old reactors had been automated, but had been breaking down for awhile, and the resulting radiation was reaching some kind of critical mass? So, she was, like, either join me in the Ciy o' Lights or die in a fire.

Me, too, and have you noticed that there is a puking scene in like 90% of all TV shows and movies?

I walked out of "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" and became a vegetarian for seven years, I kid you not.

I remember in college eating a large meat pizza with salad and beer, followed by a big chocolate milkshake for dessert, and then going to see David Cronenberg's "The Fly."

Truly, they'll be stuck on that bunker set for the rest of the show, if they don't. I imagine Clarke will not win the lottery and have to cook up some kind of nightblood solution to weathering Pramfaya.

Raven is super-cool, but Octavia is my MVP.
