From an interview at Vulture:

Battlin' Bud Mullins followed him into the shop. He probably paid for it as part of his make-nice plan with the Mitchums after telling Dougie what a great idea of his it was.

Considering Sherilyn Fenn's angry tweets last year, I doubt Audrey will have much of a role in The Return.

Red door driver was in on it, at least as much as he knew he was taken him to a secluded spot in the Nevada desert for his criminal bosses, and knows what kind of things happen in that scenario. I don't think Battlin' Bud was. I believe he's legitimately fond of Dougie.

I have wondered the same, but he did seem more cognizant when speaking to the giant in the Lodge in Part I. I suspect it has more to do with the 2 Coopers and the inability for them both to survive in the same plane of reality.

I vote for option 2.

I know I'm in the minority, but I like her.

Re: Hastings, I assumed the woodsman crushed his skull like the "Got a Light" guy did to the folks at the radio station.

The Gifted and the Damned. It's not bad overall, but the hosts do consistently annoy me by missing things that seem obvious to me or misinterpreting things. On the plus side, they do broadcast immediately after the episode for a quick fix of TP discussion. TP Rewatch is the best one I've found so far, but they take…

I was never in the camp that was annoyed with Dougie and demanding the immediate return of old Coop, but I had originally hoped to have him back by now. However, like you said, it seems he isn't coming soon or perhaps at all, and I'm finally OK with that. The last few episodes have been so engaging for me, I don't…

Not if the BCRA passes.

I'm not the type of viewer who normally gets emotionally worked up by a show, but the emotion in that final scene was SO palpable. I got butterflies in my tummy as Dougie looked at the piano player. Lynch may not be perfect, but his sound design is probably as close as a human being can get, especially combined with…

Loved that part, and immediately thought of the line from Viva Las Vegas, "Gonna set my soul on fire'" which I don't think we actually heard during Dougie's ride.

I listened to a podcast immediately after the episode in which the hosts expressed dismay that Albert shared the picture of the coordinates on Ruth Davenport's arm with Diane present, and they asked how he and Gordon could be so stupid. They aren't. They know Diane is up to something. I suspect the numbers Diane saw…

Top brand papers are worse than Bible pages. I prefer Rizla blue or green, Job single wides or even Zig Zags or OCB hemp paper.

They burn fine. Taste is so-so, but depends more on what goes in than the paper itself. The back and front pages without any ink are best. Very similar to actual rolling papers. Once those are gone, symbolic numbers and passages are preferable. It has been a long time, but I've been there. May depend on the particular…

Couldn't disagree more with the review. This was the first episode this season I have disliked. It bored me. C grade at best for me. The Dallas backstory was unnecessary, and the montage of Jesse and Tulip's monotonous life went on way too long after the point was made.

No one gave Sam the keys. He took them from the archmaester while he was sleeping. Or so it appeared.

He used to be a boxer (poster in his office). I took it as him wanting to punch the cops and restraining himself.

Oh, you mean Uncle Trent?
