but you have so many shows out there already. can't the adults have something to enjoy, too?

also, still have to catch my second (through fifth) reviewing of the episode before the next one, but it seemed they made a point of mentioning that carl goes into twin peaks every day. i have to catch the exact wording, but could that be part of his (unwitting) role as a watcher for the lodge?

my guess is that the post office packages the key to send it on to the hotel, and the way they will trace it to dougie/cooper will be jade's fingerprints on it…

in the same way you could ignore that 'fire walk with me' was a story about the supernatural black lodge stuff and simply view it as the disintegration of a victim of sexual abuse, i thought this scene was an excellent depiction of a shared traumatic experience and community grief. but there is a plot reason for the…

my first thought was of the 'magician' in the 'fire walk with me' poem…

yeah, i appreciate the dougie parts as much as the rest of the show. lynch is spending a lot of time there, but the intense focus on it really makes us excited for every glimpse of a breakthrough that is going to turn Cooper into Cooper again.

all i could think at the end of this episode was how i don't want it to ever end. new mysteries mixed with satisfying if vague connections, all on top of an emotional experience that doesn't require you to understand any of it.

i kinda find it fun on both levels simultaneously. there's the level where you don't worry about the answers and just let it wash over you; but then there is the speculation and theories that occupy you beyond the time you spend watching the show, and that kind of stuff is damn fun as well.

i blame internet porn. everybody thinks they should just be able to fast forward to the 'good' parts. but life is what is happening while you're waiting for life to happen.

is evil cooper in the same prison for which he pulled up the fbi security plans when he was going to look for ray? when he mentions 'mr strawberry' the warden kinda freaks out, which at first seemed like he pulled a name out of the warden's past or something; but 'mr. strawberry' (an unlikely name for an actual…

if dougie was just 'manufactured' like 25 years ago, he might have been barely functional at that point, with gaps and relapses as his personality developed. what they are seeing might not be all that inconsistent with previous lapses of behavior…

it's a slowed down version of Muddy Magnolias' 'American Woman'… https://www.youtube.com/wat…

i thought the woman and boy across the street from the house where we meet dougie are another version of the chalfonts, the human (or human-appearing) recruits in the lodge drama, and the '1-1-9' was the lodge-inspired reverse of '9-1-1', a signal that the real Cooper had come through (maybe the house they are…

the season is early, though…

what i really love about the scene is that wally is totally messing with the sheriff, but he's forced to keep playing it out because Truman doesn't let him off the hook… like wally expected to say his bit about Truman's brother and Truman would say thanks and walk away, but he didn't—he just kept staring at him, and…

at the end of the series, audrey was in the explosion and would have taken a while to recover; cooper would probably have disappeared during that time. the events of the original series took place over the course of about a month. so their relationship was not that extensive.

i kinda bought it, because bobby was evolving over the last season—building a relationship with his father, at first trying to blackmail ben horne but then aiming more toward business (not that horne would have been entirely legal business, but also horne, by the end of the series, was trying to become something…

i assumed they were talking about Diane, who heard (transcribed?) Cooper's most detailed and personal thoughts back in the day, and the rumor for a while was that it would be Laura Dern showing up to play the part…

the two shows of hers streaming on hbo now (the beginning/here and now) are both easily in my top ten of all stand-up specials. she created routines that anyone can watch, that didn't disparage anyone, and that played heavily on our common experiences.

the two guys who were going to kill dougie also had stuff…one guy had a ring on his pinkie that looked similar (though you don't get a good close-up view of it), and the other guy had a rather chunky bracelet that had similar-looking stones—it stood out because it looked more like a woman's bracelet…
