So, how many people think Annie Blackburn was a 'manufactured product' of BOB or the Lodge, a la Dougie Jones? I have always gone back and forth on the concept of Annie somehow being created by the Lodge to lure Cooper in, but her omission from Secret History (not to mention the re-writes of Norma's...

And I absolutely do see Coop in COOPER. A key scene is when he begins to intuit what Ray is up to from talking to Darya. "This is quite an interesting thing to think about. A game begins." As much as it breaks my heart, that is Coop--it's a twisted inversion of Coop, but it's Coop. It's f...

My initial reaction to Otis' house was that it was the Convience Store.

It wasn't until DoppelCoop killed Darya that I was convinced that the people in Otis' house weren't lodge spirits.

It did always bother me that BOB was presented as both this primeval, animalistic creature that literally consumed a substance that was defined as 'pain and sorrow,' and also as a criminal mastermind who maintained a cover identity and had serial killer calling-cards like the letters under the fing...

Sheriff Harry Truman walks into the police station. He is chewing a donut. Lucy immediately bombards him with a long winded synopsis of everything that has transpired. Truman chews very slowly, swallowing only when Lucy rushes off to the bathroom. She says she is sorry for eating evidence that is 25...

I'm thinking that the only reason that Dougie Jones had the FWWM ring was to prevent BOB/DoppelCoop from somehow getting pulled into Dougie's body and then sucked back into the lodge.

The ring wasn't how Dougie was created, it just blocked BOB/DoppelCoop from being pulled away.

Sonny Jim and Janey-E vs 119 lady and her kid

The 119 Lady and her kid gave me a definite Tremonds/Chalfonts vibe.

Yes, right before the scene cuts. Right side. Something is off about the whole Silver Mustang/Rancho Rosa stuff. Everybody seems to be helping Dougie with his factory reset. Or it could be like the Truman Show,where Cooper could be the center of all Yeah, I am definitely getting a Truman Show vibe ...

I think that snotty cop is a decoy. Bobby is still in the drug trade. The way Bobby darted off to use the restroom was unusually abrupt. Maybe he just really, really had to go? I kind of hope he's turned his life around though. Just because I like his character a lot and don't want to see him screw...

Jade is/was also a character on Invitation to Love. Is Dougie a character in a tv show, namely a 2017 version of Invitation to Love? That might explain why everyone is trying to help him so much, and why people are so quick to disregard his condition. Not to mention the extravagant near assassinatio...

I'm totally blown away by eps 3+4. I don't understand the "Dougie" stuff at all, although clearly he has the notorious FWWM ring, and is some version or reference to Dougie Milford as fleshed out in Secret History (I assume?). This doesn't make sense on a few levels, as Dougie Milford is l...

- In earlier series, l think Episode 29 or Coop's original dream in Pilot, Laura says "Meanwhile ... [Tree sapling symbol]". Wow, I never realized what she was trying to signify there. Is this stated in the captions or the shooting script..? However, MFAP himself has a doppelganger, which...

Is it a tree or nervous system? I think The One-Armed Man (Mike) is a spirit, but the question is why does he look the same as Philip Gerard? The nature of MIKE and the relation between the MFAP and Philip Gerard is nebulous to say the least. The basis for my understanding of this comes from the en...

Does anyone have any thoughts on the "evolution" of the Arm (Man From Another Place) into a tree? The Man From Another Place was already one of the most idiosyncratic and distinct characters in television history, and this new version of him is just as weird and surprising. I remember read...

Richard and Linda

Richard Milhous Nixon, birthplace: Yorba Linda, California

I'm probably way off here, but given the Nixon stuff from Secret History, who knows.

Maybe a page from Laura's diary ended up in the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda?
