    I don't understand the huge negativity towards the song, "Just You". James isn't the greatest character on the show, but that moment is one of the highlights of the second season. I love the looks James gets from Maddy and Donna as they compete for his attention and the way the song fits into Lynch's 1950s-inspired version of the early 1990s.
    Yeah. If you don't like moments like that you don't really like Twin Peaks.

    I'm hearing that Part 14 (which accidentally aired briefly in Germany last Sunday) is pretty much an all-around mindfuck episode.
    I really hope so because this last one was sloooooooooooow. It would make sense given this personal meta-message I received from Lynch:

    I've been trying to avoid advance news, but we are due for the return of The Giant, I expect.

    So many wonderful scenes, I don't know where to start. Hard to imagine anything upstaging a scene with the Giant. But then Sarah Palmer happened... oh, man.

    And Monica Bellucci. And Jack Rabbit's Palace. And that last conversation starting to piece things together. Great stuff.

    The Monica Bellucci dream was the greatest thing ever.

    Is it possible that Diane has been texting her sister this whole time?

    We've seen Mr. C sending her at least one of those texts, though. And Albert confirms that she replies to that one.

    I still can't figure out what's up with Diane. She seems genuinely unsettled and surprised by many events. I want to say she has never met Dougie. But that's weird, right? Given the family connection that is now revealed, Diane had to have been involved in Mr. C's plan from the beginning, right? Is she being manipulated, deceived? Does she or does she not know about the doppelgangers?

    I still think Dougie's family is innocent, and will figure into Cooper's awakening.

    edit - Now I can't remember. They found the ring in the Major's body, right? In the stomach contents? And that's all we know? How did the ring end up there?

    Yeah, I feel like Janey knows that Dougie Jones (the person that was 'created for a purpose') is/was not a real person and has agreed to participate in some kind of domestic living arrangement for show. Perhaps Dark Cooper coerced Diane (and her sister) into providing a cover for his decoy under threat of death.

    Basically, the Diane-Janey connection allows me to think, 'oh that make sense' without really knowing why.

    Same here. The scene felt like a breakthrough for the investigation as it was playing but on second thought it does nothing but raise more problems.

    Anyway, this episode was a ton of fun. The Gloved Englishman bit was great.

    I don't want to say too much now in case some people here haven't watched it yet, but I'm still wiping tears from my eyes. I can't remember the last time an episode of television hit me that hard.

    Also, seriously, damn, David Bowie not getting to film anything for this hurts so much. I think they've done a great job considering (the guy they got to do the voice for Jeffries seems pretty good), but having MacLachlan and Bowie face to face again would have been that much more incredible.

    What an emotional rollercoaster. This show has some dramatic high points before (in the first two seasons mostly) but I never cried at one. This, though, has me teared up within 10 minutes flat out of joy, and then again near the end, this time out of sadness. In between there are some plot momentum that seem to be all ominous darkness and violent trangressions, but those two humane moments really ground them. Great episode.

    It's all the more touching knowing how far back Lynch and Coulson go. Their friendship pre-dates Lynch's fame. Taking the time to have a straightforward moment to reflect on her contribution was such a beautiful loving gesture.

    I never expected that we would ever get more information on Judy, but it was a delight to see Jeffries finally ready to talk about her.

    Loved the explicit reference to Sunset Blvd. and MacLachan's reaction. People keep complaining that they aren't seeing the old character and meanwhile, between Dark Cooper and Dim Cooper, MacLachlan's probably giving the performance of his career.

    So, by my count, here's the things that will hopefully be resolved/answered in the next few episodes ....

    Who is Naido?
    What happened to Billy and why does it matter?
    Is Audrey stuck inside some kind of existential limbo or what?
    Was Sarah Palmer that girl who had the creepy bug walk into her mouth?
    What was making all that noise in Sarah Palmer's house when Hawk showed up?
    How did that ring get in Major Briggs' stomach?
    What the hell is going on with Diane?
    What's up with that mysterious sound at the Great Northern?
    What does it mean that Laura Palmer is "The One"?
    What is the Experiment?
    Does Janey-E know more than she lets on?
    Why does Cooper need to remember Richard and Linda?
    What is the one-gloved man's destiny?

    EDIT: Also, who was it that called Dark Cooper on the phone claiming to be Phillip Jeffries?

    Am I missing anything? It's gonna be a hell of a finish.

    I never would have guessed Sunset Blvd. would be the trigger, but yeah that was absolutely brilliant.
    I mean, I'm assuming Cooper is "awake" now. They leave us hanging, but from electricity to electricity seems a clear indicator/tease.

    I've still got that convenience store scene stuck in my mind. Knowing that's where the painting brought Laura is a game changer. It seems to function as an access point between worlds? That slow tracking shot as Mr. C moves across the lot to the room Jeffries is hiding in... wow. I was holding my breath throughout that whole sequence. This was a pretty dark episode but it looked incredible overall. Amazing cinematography. And ominous. The lights going out at the Log Lady's cabin, the final Roadhouse scene into the credits, and that final closing shot... this was some of the most emotional and unsettling stuff Lynch has ever filmed.

    Also, I hope we get more Jumping Man. We didn't even see him jump! Or is changing his face his new gimmick?

    Nice sync!

    "We eventually managed to find them near Biskupin, where demonstrations of prehistoric farming are organized. These oxen couldn't be transported to anywhere else, so we had to built the entire studio around them. A scene that lasted twenty-something seconds took us a year and a half to prepare."

    Great episode. I hope those prison cells just continue to be gradually filled with oddballs until the season finale.

    Looks like Ray Wise is going to be in the final 3 episodes.

    I can't explain it, but I half-expect "Judy" to turn out to be []. And I don't know why.

    Maybe. But you can never tell with Frost and Lynch. I feel like it's just as likely that Cooper wakes up in that weird Audrey Horne limbo plotline or in the back kitchen of the Double R Diner.

    About as awesome as it can get.

    Pure, unfiltered greatness.

    Don't mean to go off-topic, but this episode of TP, combined with that amazing finale of Game of Thrones, has provided me with possibly the most enjoyable 2 ½ hour block of television that I've ever seen. Words almost can't do it justice.
