Ugh, right, the angel ending in FWWM. Thanks for reminding me how much I disliked that! :-D

But wouldn't the cabbie's son have noticed it was his dad in the video? His face definitely didn't give that impression.

No offense taken! I'm just surprised you would get, from my words, that I was secretly shipping Cooper and Diane. DEFINITELY NOT! Anyway, I'm not sure that love saved Betty/Diane and Rita/Camilla, so I don't think love always prevails with him. I don't think Lynch is thoroughly cynical, but I do think he subscribes to…

You think I am holding out for a relationship between Diane and Cooper?? Absolutely not! Not even sure where you'd get that from in my posts. Frankly, my opinion on Diane is that we should never have seen the character at all.

Ooh. I just caved in a few weeks ago and replaced my DVDs with the BluRay set, so now I have something to look forward to! Thanks!

No, it was Sylvia, played (as in the original series) by Jan D'Arcy. She's credited in IMDb for episode 9.

He did the same hesitant punching pantomime that Dougie did when he was looking at the boss's old boxing poster.

If we didn't have the Vegas scenes, we'd have missed "one-one-NINE" lady, which would have been a crime!

But Tammy *isn't* silent when Cole takes a drag on Diane's cigarette: she very pointedly scolds him with a shocked "Gordon!" To me, that one word spoke volumes. It confirmed that they're involved.

Just watched it again, and as a woman, I didn't detect any hint of jealousy in Diane, or Dern's performance. I thought she seemed thoroughly amused at Gordon greedily watching her smoke, and Tammy posturing and fuming.

Yes, Cooper originally saw the red room in a dream, but I have *never* heard that theory floated. On the contrary, I've always understood the red room to be a sort of waiting area between the White Lodge and the Black Lodge.

Yeah, I can't agree with this. Diane was *Cooper's* secretary, not Gordon's assistant or protege. I don't think Gordon taking a drag from Diane's cigarette meant anything more than a former smoker having a phantom craving. Smoking is so out now; it's a relic from a former era, maybe a time that Gordon views as his…

But…we know for a fact that there is at leas one doppelgänger of Cooper; we saw him in the red room in season 2, with Cooper chasing after him.

As a never-smoker, none of that would ever have occurred to me. That said, I don't believe Diane and Gordon ever had "a thing" (by which I mean a romance or a sexual relationship), and I do think he and Tammy have one.

Or Manimal.

Yeah, I shouldn't have responded. I'm just so used to MOST people being able to play nice and act like an adult here.

What?! How is that an insult? I'm sure sfbuds doesn't care that you blocked him/her, but really, that seems like kind of an unwarranted overreaction.

It's like it's 1995 all over again! Seriously, the only thing it's missing is a crappy animated gif of a letter folding into an envelope for the email link.

Agreed, he could be his brother.

What was notable about that scene to me was when Tammy scolded Cole for smoking, exclaiming, "Gordon!" That wasn't an agent talking to her boss; that was explicit confirmation that there's more between them.
