I thought the same thing! I was SO SURE for about half second.

One thing we can definitely predict with David Lynch is that he's not going to waste Laura Dern on a one-note character.

They're not evil. Lodge spirits are largely above good or evil exactly - those are human constructs and they exist outside of humanity. I would say the "good" spirits are more… benign than actually good. They have no particular wish to cause ill and largely want the laws of nature to continue on their course.

Yes. And our occasional reminder that Dale Cooper is a force for good in the world and improves the lives of anyone he meets, even if he can't quite remember how to use the bathroom right now.

I think so. I have heard that Lynch was not particularly fond of Piper Laurie's character - and I honestly only REALLY liked her as the fascinating, calculating foil to Pete's down-home well-by-gosh honesty and compassion.

Lynch is all about the occasional heartwarming surprise, though so I wouldn't be surprised if Bobby ends up being the least morally conflicted person on the show in the end.

Yeah. Other than the part where I really liked that actor (he was actually super nice IRL, apparently - Madchen Amick has said acting opposite him being violent would be jarring once the scene ended and he was super nice and calm immediately), I agree. His storyline was awful in Season 2 and he deserved better.

Yeah, the two actors are playing it just right - they're sinister and menacing enough to believe as mob guys who've killed anyone who got in their way, but also "family men", of a sort, who clearly care deeply for Candie and the other two girls (Sandie and Mandie?) and aren't violent with them at all. Layered but also…

That makes sense. Someone just above showed a link where the actress talks about how she plays the character as someone who was trafficked and sees the Mitchum brothers as her saviors and so is endlessly loyal to them, albeit somewhat damaged by her life.

That's amazing. Thanks for linking that - I love the amount of thought she has put into a character who hasn't been given all THAT much to do - and I love the idea of Tom Sizemore having to stand there straight-faced while she goes on and on and on about air conditioners.

No, they have a point - Gordon and Albert both seem to both see and not-see the creature lurking around the edge. The Woodsmen clearly have some sort of ability to 'glam' people so that they aren't really remembered once they're not right in front of you.

I could see he and Candie being the only ones of the "baddies" (or, rather, not explicitly good guys) to walk away largely unscathed. I have a feeling Candie won't even have a smudge on her skirt.

The OS implies pretty heavily that Leo dies up in the woods.

It was confirmed that "fire walk with me" was an explicit reference/call for possession by lodge spirits - that the mentions of supernatural 'fire' in TP and FWWM were references to possession.

God rest Jack Nance. What a light lost so soon and to something so inexplicably pointlessly awful.

I try every time she appears to decide if Candie is not that bright, totally drugged out of her mind nonstop, or something even more sinister than that.

Yeah, no, I'm not saying the "missing time" is supernatural in any sense. Just htat that's what people are referring to.

It sounds EXACTLY like the White Lodge.

I have had almost that exact same interaction with my husband (it was over something way cheaper, for the record) and it was actually kind of funny in the moment.

True, and Mrs. Briggs does outright state in the original series that Major Briggs are absent/missing/on classified missions he couldn't talk about for much of their marriage. It did imply that he's been largely an absentee father, which I'm sure a man like that deeply regretted but saw as necessary/for the greater…
