Also, in regards to another of your posts, can we really tell from that globe in Part 8 that Laura's soul is being sent to Texas? I think it's very vague, intentionally so. This is a popular theory that I’ve never fully bought into. The gold globe is just so darn large in comparison to the world ma...

We are also missing something here that seems to be floated in front of our faces: "It is in our house now". Yes it is, Tremonds are in the Palmer house. The more I think about, the more it seems is that the opening scene of S3 takes place after Laura disappears while being saved by Coope...

Good post, Cappy.

Re: Ari Aster, Midsommar was actually pretty darn funny. That was a wild blend of tones.

I can’t remember if this has been said (aloud) before, but in the Jason S. behind the scenes film for Part 1, the Fireman scene “starts” (since they shot it in reverse) with Cooper shaking (presumably having just manifested), then looking around at the place, then the Fireman entering and sitting. ...

Catch his Response To Critics video, too. I think he addresses all the complaints in this thread. I was with this guy every step of the way, I started even finishing his sentences. Excellent construction of his argument, exhaustive references to Lynch himself. I appreciate his impersonation to clea...

Three years after the initial run, I had decided to rewatch the Return, and while Amazon had shipped my DVD set in March, it has not reached me yet in Europe, it is stuck somewhere in storage limbo, what an interesting time we live in! So my rewatch is on hold, but I am not giving up on it yet. I a...

The cut from Dougie saying “home” to Dale leading Laura “home” is a nice contrast, and goes back to what I was saying in the Part 16 thread about how Cooper might have done more good by staying with the family that loved him and not trying to change the world (literally). I continue to believe that...

I think the "Laura Palmer Theme" is my favorite scene of The Return as well. It might even make episode 17 my favorite over episode 18 for me (maybe). Tho, I view The Return as a long movie rather than episodes. I also agree with the old footage being amazing. As far as what I wanted from...

Another thing I just thought of: Why does Mr. C even think the real Briggs/Ruth coordinates lead to Judy? Per Hastings, Garland wanted these coordinates to get to a safe place to hide, presumably FROM Judy! It seems like that would be the last place to find her. Are you sure Mr. C stated that as hi...

I assume if that text was that important he would have sent it again, but it's still an odd little detail to me. I always took this as implying that the Convenience Store space, being somewhat outside of things, has poor coverage, and that he knows once he passes a cell tower it will send, albeit d...

Haha, Reindeer, I think a lot of what you're questioning in this epic post regarding when who told who what, when and where is so off the narrative path that it's simply impossible to say! Furthermore, I take it as more of a fun retcon and commentary on last-minute reveals in TV (you put that in my ...

I really like that first scene, but there are a bunch of mystifying lines in it. The "twenty-five years your senior" thing, the weirdly non-Peaks "Goodbye my son" which seems like it came from a different movie/show, and of course the endlessly frustrating case of the three peop...

I find it interesting that at Judy's, the old couple are sitting at a table (all the others are stacked up against a wall) and not at a booth. They are sitting side by side and facing the big open space. It's almost as if they are seated to watch the show they know is coming. Good call. The older l...

My thinking was that Laura was already resigned to die that night, ring or no ring. We hear this time and time again: from her diary entries on both the show and in Jennifer Lynch’s book, from Jacoby in the therapy scene with Bobby, and even without all that, I think it’s super clear from Sheryl’s ...

Truly epic and insightful post, Reindeer! Pardon my simplemindedness, but isn't the simplest explanation for Cooper telling Laura not to take the ring that if she takes it, she will die? He doesn't want her to die (as The Return makes crystal clear), so he tells her not to take it. Wearing it means ...
