Not hearing/reading anyone react to the deplorable CG and green screening except for some "that's so Lynch!" here and there. I disagree. Lynch's capacity for the surreal and even the exaggerated has always been upheld by strong, believable special effects, starting with the baby in Eraserhead and extending through some of the most violent scenes in his oeuvre. When Cooper is climbing the ladder to stand on that gray box, I couldn't not turn to my partner and ask "what are we watching?" Some of the visuals are like senior film school project level of bad, and I have a hard time believing between Showtime and Lynch that every green screened scene couldn't have been done better with more traditional effects.

And if it really is "so Lynch," I guess I don't like Lynch anymore?

I was ok with the dodgy shots during the weirder parts, but I thought when the ghost was weedwhacking the Nanny kid and yer man it looked AWFUL. Plus later (Ep 3 or 4?) when they show a photo of their bodies it's some crappy photoshop job, which compared to the prop head and body in the bed really really stood out to me.

I mean this is a show that used to play super loud, inappropriate music during every second scene so I dunno if I should be bothered by it or not.

This suggests BOB is involved with DoppelCoop:



E:VVV Totally agree there.

True about BOB. Did the Doppelarm appear at any point previously?

Jumping back into the opening of Episode 3 for a moment....

I am almost absolutely certain (it is a little hard to tell with the jerky camera movements and the really weird lighting, but I am almost positive that *before* Cooper and Blind Girl step outside (where a flip is switched that causes both the lighting to revert to normal, the number and electrical socket to change, Ronette appears, etc)....

But, er, where was I? Well, before that level is pulled (which also reminds me of a slot level too, in a way) I am 99% positive there is *only* a lamp on the table nearby the electrical panel. But after Coop and the girl go up top, and the flip gets switched and Coop sees the ghostly image of Major Briggs say "Blue Rose" indistinctly - well, when Coop gets back down to speak to Ronette, there is now a small vase on the same table as the lamp, holding a Blue Rose. What I don't get is why it wasn't there before. I'm still just trying to little bits of understanding through this. Obviously 253 was a number the Giant told him, and that was also the time that elapsed on Ronette's watch right before the lamp switched and the electrical humming kicked in (probably meaning Dale could not go through the, er, AC/DC portal I suppose).

For those of you who are all caught up, is The Missing Pieces actually coming up as relevant information to have seen?

I remember someone mentioned that Tami might be noticing that Danzigs prints are a mirror of coopers. I re-watched the scene, and noticed this:

Forgive me if it was mentioned already, but the text [9 L. Ring] is mirrored. Its not just the way it is on the form either because number 10 is normal. I'm not sure if Tami is literally noticing this same thing with the text, or its lynch signaling the viewer that the prints of the doppelganger mirror the original. Its very intentional though.

EDIT: Found another shot.

Its not just the text, the whole Left Ring Finger print on Danzig's sheet is mirrored, but only that one print. The others appear to match well enough.

OK, I don't think I was really making my point clear. I was referring to the red cloud/shape that seemed to come out of her head as he shot her, and this VERY strange fisheye-like effect that Lynch put in for a JUST a frame or two as she was being shot and this red cloud seemed to be coming out of the bullet-wound as she went down.

To make it a bit more clear here are two screencaps from the same exact second - and again, the effect in the second screencap only lasts a frame or two.



and a tenth of a second later this changes to:




Do you guys see the weirdness going on here I am trying to point out?


Thank you! I appreciate that I more or less use 'dream logic' and wild associations that I intuitively feel might contain meaning, and really enjoy sort of going from here to there to where-ever and seeing where the thought process takes me. I can't analyze or make posts about just any TV show like this, because most aren't nearly this dense or well-thought out. And it's the way Lynch operates - using intuitive associations where he is able to make leaps of metaphoric logic and manifest that often as an obscured or semi-obscured part of the narrative in his work. Don't see what's wrong with analyzing in a somewhat similar manner, and just going on a journey and seeing where it takes you.

Can anyone itt scrounge up a screenshot of the dark/ashy ghost thing from episode 7? Presumably, the same one you see in the prison cell in episode 1 (or was it 2?...)?

He suspected that Dougie would be replaced with Cooper and hired Tammy to organize Dougie's assassination. When that didn't work, BadCoop activated (maybe with his prison phone call? I'm forgetting the order here) his man in Vegas to send Ike out to kill the loose end Tammy and Dougie. Now that this plan has failed, we will see if there is a third contingency, one that might call for the Vegas man, Ike, and Dougie's death.

Ever read the pre-David Lynch script for the S2 finale? They make the Black Lodge seem like something from loving Looney Tunes, signs falling from the ceiling saying stuff like "Try again, sucker."

It's the same creature that came through the glass box in New York and was pursuing Coop while he worked his way back to the real world, which the eyeless woman referred to as her mother.

I think the Grey's are the 8 hobo-ghosts? Maybe?
One take I had: The two dark entities could be a mirror to the Giant/Senorita (Good/Evil)
One is obviously a "man" and one is very obviously a "woman".

I'm still working on the calculations and may be objectively wrong about this, but I thought the NIN performance was ... bad. Bad song. Mediocre performance. It kind of ruined the flow of the episode for me because I was actually super psyched to hear NIN and then I had to scrub through half that scene. Now I'm just glad I haven't really paid attention to what Trent has been doing since high school.

I'll get back to you when I've finished the math on that. Rest of the episode was good and cool.
