I just took the nuke as the ultimate symbol of man's destruction. We split the atom and created a new level of chaos that it opened up/thinned the barrier between Us and The Other (White Lodge, Black Lodge, Mother, etc.).

Other acts in human history have probably done it before, but this being the most recent and biggest started the cycle we've been following (Laura, BOB, Dale, Twin Peaks, etc.).

Why is everyone calling that thing mother? Am I thinking of the right thing? The naked white bird face that vomited up a stream of bob ejaculate?

The creature appeared in the glass box in the early episodes, and then Episode 3 has "American Girl" tell Cooper that the thing angrily banging against the metal door trying to get in, is "Mother". Popular fan theory is that they are one in the same. The most recent episode showed this creature, with a female form, giving birth (orally) to something (I thought it was, like, cosmic garmonbozia, but my friend said it didn't look like corn to her), which included a rock/orb with BOB's face in it.

garmonbozia isnt always corn, in the FWWM extended BOB threw a bunch of blood on the floor after he sucked it out of leland's tummy

I can't remember exactly when in the episode it happened, but, did anyone else see a goatse at some point? I think maybe it was when the giant exudes laura palmer's soul? The yellow formed like horizontal lines that looked like fingers, on either side of a hole. If it wasn't that it was in the sky somewhere at some point... Anyone else? Twin peaks: goatse edition?

Oh boy another insanely brutally problematic episode of Twin Peaks : The Return. A return to what? 1950's values? haha. So of course the female non-corporeal being from a place outside of time space and logic gets to sit passively listening to technology and it is up to her brutish husband to operate the machinery. Too much for a woman I guess. And then of course he's the one that levitates in the theatre to produce a gold angel baby, lest we forget conception is the sole right of men. And what do we get from the woman? Mewling and wonder at the amazing shiny thing her superior has created. Oh wow he must be such an amazing entity because he can climb some steps whereas I can't even get a desk by the window after working here for five years and only getting the occasional formal warning for screaming.

Personally I've got two theories about it:

1. Laura was meant to contain the evil unleashed by the Black Lodge, but the plan failed because she was killed by BOB instead of being possessed.

2. Laura was created to attract BOB to where he would eventually cross paths with Cooper, with the end goal being BOB's defeat.

I must admit I had the same thought when watching, when the yellow stardust was coming out of the giant's head. It wasn't quite obvious enough to post about though. :v:

That is definitely exactly what the whole sequence in possibly the White Lodge reminded me of. It's the fixed camera angles, repetition of perspectives as characters move through, and, of course, characters doing stuff on weird objects that you have only a vague idea how it relates to anything.

I always got the impression that Laura was important in some unknown way just by how the original series treated her after her death is "solved". Literally showing her face still during the opening credits of the new series helps me think that too.

The new series is called "The Return". They never explicitly said it was Cooper returning.

No, but the show was always steeped in 50s aesthetics so nuclear horror and paranoia is just another step of that.

Frankly the white lodge(?) scenes looked more B-Movie to me than anything. In a great way.

when did that whole thing go down again? i thought it was some time in the 60's, so maybe we'll get a timeskip to 50s girl with a frogbugbob in her as an older hip swingin sexy lady gettin plowed by l. ron hubbard until coincidentally frogbugbob is done gestating and bursts out of her, bringing a hitherto unknown evil to the world (scientology)

"Woodcutters From Fiery Ships"

David Lynch was to team with anime producer Bandai and two Japanese partners to produce a digital adventure to be released on DVD-ROM, the Internet, and in novelization form. The project was tentatively entitled "Woodcutters From Fiery Ships".

Unfortunately, the project never came about. Lynch says it was "blocked from the get-go." The game was going to be a "conundrum thing.. a beautiful kind of place to put yourself. You try to make a little bit of mystery and a bit of a story, but you want it to be able to bend back upon itself and get lost ... Ceratin events have happened in a bungalow which is behind another in Los Angeles. And then suddenly the woodcutters arrive and they take the man who we think has witnessed these events, and their ship is... uh, silver, like a 30`s kind of ship, and the fuel is logs. And they smoke pipes."
