When I saw Trent Reznor's name in the cast list, I expected him to show up playing a character (in fact, for a while I was even thinking maybe he was going to be BOB in Frank Silva's place). I'm not sure, if someone had told me that he'd be playing himself with NIN playing a gig at the Roadhouse, bookended by scenes…

I don't know about that - I think that if Dougie/Cooper were killed now, that would be it for both of them, i.e. the real Dale Cooper would be dead, and Dougie Jones would stay dead (since he was already killed after being pulled into the Lodge). I also don't think that killing Dougie *before* the faux-exchange, and…

So, Kim knows something about what exactly happened at Sandpiper at the end. Does she know how far Jimmy went in manipulating Irene, or does she think he was making that part up because he just felt guilty about her losing her friends? I would tend to think that the deliberate manipulation might finally be more than…

Or, the Lodge's "door" is open and this is causing unusual phenomena (possibly allowing Josie to manifest herself in some way, or possibly some unrelated weirdness), just like the thing with the shaking hands in the original series when the Lodge door was open 25 years previously.

The hit on Dougie probably came from DoppelCooper, who knew that the real Cooper was probably about to trade places with Dougie on that day and wanted him (real Cooper) dead as soon as possible.

"Censoring" was probably too strong a word for what I was getting at.

And then Mike "reassures" him that Bobby (who is in the process of downing a beer IIRC) will be doing most of the driving.

I think even in the book, it's implied that these are probably not "aliens" in the sense of extraterrestrial beings who came here in spaceships from other planets, but rather some sort of paranormal beings who have been interacting with humanity for a long time and are responsible for UFO sightings and a range of…

Maybe she disappeared too? Especially if she did cross paths with Evil Coop and survived, she might have just taken off without telling anybody she was leaving or where she was going.

I don't think Andy is dirty. My take on that scene was that the guy who owned the truck was willing to give him information but was also expecting Richard and/or someone else who scares him to arrive soon and didn't want to be seen talking to the cops, hence his suggestion that they meet later.

Well, Dr. Hayward assaulted him in the series finale after he revealed that he (not Dr. Hayward) was Donna's father. Whether something *else* happened after that, I don't know, but he did seem to be trying to exercise some restraint with Beverly and focus on the strange noise.

I actually felt a little sympathetic for Chuck when Howard initially tried to force him out. He can be a sanctimonious jerk, but I didn't think he deserved to have his career taken away from him like that over his dispute with Jimmy or his (now mostly waning) psychosomatic illness.

True. On the other hand, somebody wants him killed for some reason other than unpaid gambling debts, or at least I assume it's something else. I can't imagine them going to such elaborate length over $50k in gambling debts, or that the "collectors" would have been as patient with Janey if their boss is at the point of…

Maybe this will lead to Richard getting in trouble with the law that he can't weasel or bribe his way out of it, and that will put Frank, Hawk, Andy, and whichever other cops are "clean" onto the trail of this drug operation? Though I'm wondering if the drug angle is going to tie back to Cooper and the Lodges, or if…

Also, Janey did refer to him "having one of his episodes" in last week's episode, so maybe Dougie Jones already had some sort of mental illness that caused him to behave strangely at times. I assumed that, when she implied to the police officers that he often seems disoriented, she wasn't just talking about the last…

So do we believe that Dougie (before he was replaced by Cooper) did in fact borrow money just to gamble on football games, or was he involved in something shadier than that?

Or, depending on how time travel and paradoxes work in the Twin Peaks universe, the missing page didn't become part of the timeline until after Annie enters the Lodge and gives Laura the message, so they don't find it or look for it because it isn't there yet.

I suspect that it's probably a product of his somewhat intuitive style. I don't think Lynch censors his subconscious, including any reactionary impulses that might bubble up through there, as much as some writers and directors do. However, I don't think he's purposely trying to push a socially or politically…

It occurs to me that no other post-Dune David Lynch piece that I've seen jumps around in location or point of view nearly as much as this new Twin Peaks series.

The former.
