He likes to assume his audiences are much smarter than that. Actually I think this is the most likely option and will definitely happen and I'm a David Lynch expert

The Clap posted:I have no idea why fans are tied to the 25 years thing - Lynch certainly isn't. It was probably a throwaway line in the original series anyway, it didn't have any serious bearing on the plot back then and today it's just a coincidence. Well it wasn't just a throwaway line, didn't the 25 years aged Cooper show up again for key moments of Fire Walk With Me? Lord Krangdar fucked around with this message at 18:13 on Jul 18, 2015 |

It was the original dream sequence in the second or third episode, he has some grey hair there, though I didn't really notice the first few times. I think in Laura's Diary she mentioned seeing an old man in her dream that's supposed to be Cooper.

He has pretty obvious old man makeup on. The real McLachlan has aged more gracefully.

Well, I finally got my wife to sit down and watch the show with me, after she begrudgingly watched Mulholland Drive with me recently and ended up loving it, as I promised she would. She read The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer as a teenager, and watched Fire Walk With Me a few years ago, which I can't imagine would be a good introduction to the world of Twin Peaks for anyone. But now she's giving the show a chance and enjoying it, for the most part. We're four episodes in, and after the second, she cracked me up by asking, completely seriously, "Is James supposed to be kind of... slow?"

There's a line later in the series where Laura Palmer, on one of her tapes she records for Dr. Jacoby I believe, says James is "sweet...but SO DUMB", so I think that's absolutely the intention with the character. Frankly I never really hated James myself and found all of the disdain for him hilariously hyperbolic.

I kind of hated the James sub-plot in series 2 because I kept waiting for it to go somewhere and it never really did, but I think going in with that knowledge makes it a lot more bearable. It's a look into what happens when James goes off into the big wide world and has an adventure all of his own: something really stupid and pointless. That's our James!

Disliked his character from the very beginning and only put up with him in season 1 because he was always tied in with interesting plots/characters. Once that went away in season 2 I have always fast forwarded through his stuff on rewatches.

It's wrong and off in the right ways and sums up the show as a whole: Surface appearance contradicting reality, melodramatic relationship trouble, the flimsy nature of identity, ghosts showing up to ruon everything. It draws you in by being funny/overwrought and then Bobs you upside the head.

I wonder if James was awful on purpose? There's at least one character just like him on most of the soap operas Twin Peaks is parodying.

I agree with someone earlier in this thread who said James's solo plot should have just gone full Invitation To Love and become an insane Tim And Eric parody of soap operas.

I really believe his plot in Season 2 where he fixes up a car for that woman was parody.

The latter half of Season 2 is clearly supposed to be tongue in cheek, but you just get overloaded by stuff that was originally supposed to be a nice break from the darker tone and it mostly ends up being a lot of "Jesus Christ why are you wasting my time with this bullshit" So yeah, I agree

As weird as his methods were in first season, at least he did investigating and ran down leads. First season Cooper would have known there was a microphone in the bonsai tree devised a way to lure Earle out. That would have made for more compelling and fun television.

Like, if we only saw the results of what he did, and maybe the footage of him in FBI custody, and the scene where he pretends to be an old friend of Donna's father, he would have at least felt threatening.

I love Windam Earle if only because of the scene where he dresses up as a god drat horse in one of the weirdest callbacks the show ever did. Or at least, I'm assuming it's meant to parallel the scene where Mrs. Palmer sees a vision of a horse.

I genuinely want to know, because that horse is the most puzzling aspect of Twin Peaks to me. Like, everything else at least feels right on an aesthetic or emotional level, but man, I have no idea what's up with that horse.
