Thankfully plus consciousness.

Very true - I just mean, did BOB actually rip out those pages "himself?"

You could try watching seasons 1 or 2.

Man, if someone ever figures out how to adapt Watchmen…hoooooo boy.

"It's everything the original show never quite managed to be."

Nothing to do with Twin Peaks, but I just love your username.

Somebody elsewhere theorized that maybe these are the ripped-out pages from Laura's diary, from when Annie visited her and told her to write down that the good Dale was in the Black Lodge. Having read Jennifer Lynch's book recently, I seem to remember the missing pages being BOB's doing (and we know that MIKE spent a…

"…David Lynch has been a surrealist all his adult working life. He takes what he does very seriously and though it is usually incredibly idiosyncratic, it is always meticulously constructed."

"The show seems deliberately paced, but I am always shocked that it ends so quickly."

I picked up on Loomis, and immediately recalled that Loomis is a famous name in horror/crime media (Psycho, then the nod to it from John Carpenter in Halloween).

Bobby's arc was one of the best of the whole series. It bugged me seeing people elsewhere wondering how on earth Bobby became a cop in the new run, because he made very clear by the end of the original run that he was ultimately a good person.

I said this elsewhere, but it was the emotional hammer we hadn't gotten yet this season. I don't know what this case will mean in the ultimate arc of The Return, but remember the whole series began with such a hammer. The stakes were raised right from the start, and now in this run the stakes have been raised again.

Oh, yeah, uh, Daddy Warbucks killed her.

It would be an easy cop-out for me to just lie and say "Oh, I knew that, I just got confused" - but that's precisely what happened. I don't think I quite meant "Dougie," but maybe more Cooper's general confusion as to what the hell is going on and who he's supposed to be. He does seem to think he's Dougie to some…

I like the cut of your jib.

I've had "Shadow" by Chromatics stuck in my head for a month.

Though I now have a Pavlovian disdain for seeing the Bang Bang and hearing a band start playing, since I know the episode's about to end.

I don't know, Mark Frost's sequel to The Secret History of Twin Peaks titled Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier is being published this October. I don't see season 4 as very likely.

He's starting to show up in bits and pieces, as we've seen, but I think what's been unsaid about Cooper this whole time is his desire to settle down and have a family. I suspect that was actually Dale crying while looking at Dougie's son, not Dougie. He's always wanted a wife and kid, but both women he ever loved…

Emotional manipulation, maybe, but the new season hadn't had that emotional hammer yet. Now it's real.
