hmmm…maybe chad is a stand-in for those viewers..

but if the doppelganger represents cooper's darkest impulses, previously kept in check by his best, will his victims accept that it wasn't really him? and we still don't know if, in order to be made whole again, cooper will need to re-merge (or if he will anyway, if the doppelganger returns to the black lodge) with…

i love that he knows that he doesn't hear things correctly and yet he still grabs at the misinterpretation without asking himself if he misheard it.

life is what is happening while you're waiting for life to happen

maybe next time you should watch it with your clothes on

i think part of it is resentment that people like this (aww i watched the episode in the background while facebooking and i don't understand it, so lynch sucks) are the ones who typically kill innovation in television because they think they're entitled to a story that lives down to their imaginations…

if that episode didn't have the name 'diane keaton' attached to it, the reviewer wouldn't have bothered to mention it.

trust me, he'll be back here every week…

now tell us how you can't believe how the booking agent at the roadhouse gets all these big acts to come play (but don't say anything about naomi watts walking around vegas and not getting recognized by fans)

and Janey-E is wearing them…and it's around the same scene where dougie's boss makes the 'Lil' fist, and Lil wore red shoes…

see you here next week!

the scene with the doppelganger/hutch/chantal next to the truck (when the doppelganger sends diane the text message, when chantal kisses him at hutch's suggestion, which was really weird) is intercut with scenes of the fbi crew on the plane. at one point chantal looks off into the distance, and we hear the sound of a…

i suspect 'Diane Keaton episode' was an item on her prepared 'clever catty insults' list and that she just crossed it off.

i suspect many of the scenes like this are in a way illustrating the effect of the proximity of the town to the portal to the black lodge—something that i think in part explains the odd stuff we generally see around town—the direct influence (the log lady, carl) but also indirect things like nadine's super strength. …

lynch knows what he's doing, so there's no reason to think her performance isn't exactly what he wants it to be.

last week the woodsman repeated a poem that caused people to sleep (the combination of words plus i think the way the intonation was exactly the same every time until the end). the randomness of the text indicates it would be a code if they had prearranged it—perhaps it was a code they would have used back when…

it's an insult to all the people in that room who have given the bulk of their lives to public service. she's using them as merely a platform for extending her 'brand' and has no investment in what they are trying to do for the world outside what wealth she might acquire from it.

i wonder if we'll see the same ambiguity arise over cooper and what he might have done to Audrey and Diane. if the doppelganger is the 'evil' side of cooper's personality, stripped away and escaping the black lodge (and acting on desires that cooper resisted because he was way more good than evil), then when cooper's…

The doppelganger referred to it as "that place they call the Farm." Considering Beulah's place was where he picked Ray up in the first place, it doesn't seem like he would refer to it as if they both hadn't been there before at the same time.

nice to hear….the first season was really well done (and as with the film, the quiet moments were as scary as the loud exorcisms), and they did great with the actors.
