Nobody started a thread for this yet? OK, I will…
…And hit “submit” before I could even comment! Anyway…

I liked the beige chair better myself.

Diane! Say it ain’t so! Say you’re not in cahoots with evil Coop! NO!
-
Ewww! Either go to a doctor or get some calamine lotion, but PLEASE don’t scratch your armpit rash right there in the middle of the crowded bar. Ugh. Girl has no class.

Hi Betty Briggs! Nice to see you again, how you’ve been? Yes, let’s have coffee.

Still no Audrey.
You beat me to it!
And I also accidentally hit submit before I was finished.
Bill Hastings’ online Journal “The Search For The Zone” actually exists!
http://thesearchforthezone.com
I haven’t explored it yet.
I assume that was Johnny Horne who knocked himself out against the wall. It looks like he finally outgrew the headdress.
I think Cooper is getting closer and closer to waking up.
I think somebody else is in Jerry Horne’s body. Who? Windom Earl? Cooper? Josie? Briggs? Laura?
Random weirdness that made me laugh: Chantal giving Mr C. a consolatory little bag of Cheetos after lamenting that they didn’t have time for sex. Even better that he seemed kind of pleased by it.
The humor was actually really on point this episode, Gordon, Albert, and Diane in particular. “IT’S A FUCKING MORGUE!” Also, if Diane is evil or dies, I’m going to be pissed. I’ve resigned myself to the possibility of Cooper’s death. I will not accept Diane’s.
I mentioned this on Twitter: When Dougie-Coop is looking around the room trying to remember his life, it reminded me of Butthead deducing that his television had been stolen.
I also love that after weeks and weeks of everyone demanding to know why no one was noticing that Dougie was acting weird, it wasn’t until we the audience became bored with the question and simply resigned ourselves to the weirdness that we got an answer.
Jerry’s foot sounds like the evolution of the arm. Also, let Bill go scuba diving. Also, his website is real. Also there are coordinates at the bottom of the page, and reddit is currently debating whether it’s safe and/or legal to send someone out to them. Also, goodbye Johnny Horne, we barely knew ye. Also, where the fuck is your sister?
Really loved this episode.
I missed the coordinates on that page. I’m going to enter them on Google maps.
Maybe it’s because I’m looking on my phone but i don’t see any coordinates on that page.
They’re hidden. If you hover your cursor at the bottom, they show up.
Click them, and you get a grainy, flickering image of the Convenience store.
I’ll have to use my laptop I guess.
Can you post them here?

The * is the degree sign, I don’t know how to do that with my computer.

Cool, but I don’t think it’s relevant, or at the least, I don’t think we’re intended to go for a treasure hunt there. It looks fairly near someone’s house, and I doubt Showtime would be okay with a headline about a TP fan getting shot for trespassing. Then again someone tweeted Mark Frost and asked if it was safe to go looking. His response was “You tell me,” which is in keeping with the vagueness of the show, but would be really irresponsible if it’s on someone’s private property.
ARG aside, to me the most intriguing moments of the night were split between the awesome and moving reveal of Major Briggs’s secret message (Jack Rabbit Kingdom = the White Lodge?) and Jerry Horne fighting his own foot (I too think he’s possessed).
And apparently the possessor as is unwilling and uninformed as the possessee.
This was a nice episode!
Some thoughts:
I was tentatively supportive of Bobby Briggs becoming a good guy (and a deputy, who knew?) … and I feel like I’m completely won over now.
Still not really getting what is going on with Agent Tammy. I don’t get why she’s sort of twitchy and vamping all the time.
Loved the red shoes callback to Audrey! And I liked that scene. I’m in the camp of “okay, Cooper being stuck as Dougie is getting old, and not that funny” but sure enough, in the waiting room, I really got the emotion from it. Go figure.
I am a little confused about Bill Hastings. He’s a wreck. Yet initially, he seemed like a random guy in that area of “sleezy but probably framed for a crime so more confused than anything else.” So I guess he was keeping it together when he was first arrested, but now he has finally cracked?
Not sure what to make of Diane. I think she is good, but if she’s going to end up evil, or at least, on the evil side, I’m going to guess it’s because Cooper did something to break her, so not of her own volition.
I was away on vacation, so I only recently saw the previous episode, and wanted to mention that I LOVED IT. Just so David Lynch doing his David Lynch thing. It was a little interesting because I felt like I had two different mental tracks going on at the same time … first, it was creepy, it was visually elegant, the sound was as present as a character, I was wigged out by the hobo guys, so the whole eerie package. At the same time, it made me nostalgic, it really brought me back to when I was first exposed to David Lynch’s work, and how thrilling it was to see something so different. And how we would watch it back then (cue the “back in my day!” speech) – a roomful of people watching in absolute silence, because we couldn’t easily rewind anything (if in a movie theater or watching the original Twin Peaks on broadcast TV) and hanging on everything. In some ways, it was an “awww, I remember this” experience.
I’m glad to see you posting delphica. It seems like there’s only a small number of us that want to post about this.
I agree that this was a good episode.
I’m hoping that we see the return of the old Cooper soon. I think when the police run his prints things will start happening fast.
Like you, I’m being won over to the idea of Bobby being a good guy now. Given his father’s dream in the original, I suppose it would be dissapointing if he hadn’t changed course.
I hardly ever know what to write in these threads because it would mostly be, “Oh yeah, I agree!” over and over. But yeah, I’m really happy about Bobby, too.
I’m really enjoying the series and even though I don’t post much in the threads, I love reading what everyone has to say.
I’ll admit to being slightly concerned that things aren’t moving faster.
We’re already at the halfway point and it seems like more and more plot elements are being introduced with little apparent movement towards any resolution of the existing ones.
And where’s Audrey? Are we going to see any kind of Coop Audrey interaction?
