Let me theorize this much: Maybe the White Lodge and Black Lodge are the manifestations in the real world and The Read Room is only a place in between them. If you are overtaken your evil side/you are possesed by evil thoughts, the world will turn into this madness we will soon see in 2017. If you ...

These are all sharp and spot on; especially enjoyed the style/register analysis which does look a key method/paradox here. Perhaps this is of interest: ... - http://www.16-9.dk/2015/04/between-two-worlds/ Going forward, how do you see this would be used in the new series in case you have thoughts on...

In case anyone reading this knows spanish and/or has read the site above - it would be so interesting to hear of more alternative theories mentioned. Maybe a short list (one sentence for each) - and then it can be worked backwards on one's own. Elga explanation - or explanations rather - will also c...

A telling, spoiling story on doppelgangers/doubles below - 'and we both started screaming'. Damn, those synchronicities with the series continue multiplying ... http://news.yahoo.com/30-years-later-york-teacher-183739642.html edit. both are left-handed, for god's sakes - do they feel numbness in the...

Jasper, Thanks also for posting all this info, I have read upon those previous threads obviously, you guys did a great job with that, rakshasas, etc. And the conv store analysis above is also exceptional in its well-rounded conclusions, we'll see how this will be proven true in, ahem, only a year or...

Just that this would be a heyoka with the opposite purpose - induce more evil, that is perhaps. And in any case we see say leland's face at the end of fwwm painted and doing similar sounds - so may still signify say a possessed person (apart from being a clown/amulet for the chaps there). Re eastern...

Yes

I stumbled upon something interesting, and while likely completely coincidental, it does have some neat resonances with FWWM and the Jumping Man. Here are some cherry-picked words and images: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garuda Garuda reference to the jumping man looks actual since garuda is menti...

There's been no indication of this whatsoever from the shoot (I think she's only been spotted once or twice) but I would love if Laura had a primary role in the new series, perhaps even (one of?) the protagonist(s), which would certainly be in keeping with Lynch's post-TP work. Regardless, I'm just...

Would agree that laura (i.e. a girl who was physically portrayed and killed/found in the film/series) is dead - the question perhaps that can be treated as open is whether the soul of hers has indeed reached heaven or nirvana (as dl is presumably playing with hindu beliefs, and nirvana is the place ...

Have not read through the materials elsewhere, and maybe this is mentioned - but as a thought, could it have been that de milo version also signifies what happens to weaker/afraid human side entering the lodge. The splitting into two (one arm taken off a-la mike/philip gerard, equalling to a doppelg...

Well, if it comes to me, I don't necessarily consider that coop was portrayed as corrupt in the series - at the time it was obv an emotional accent to make it single-mindedly to the opposite, and the book / fwwm /other postseries additions have (purposefully so, perhaps) only underlined a potential,...

I can't remember where I heard this, but I believe it was either Engels or Frost, when asked if the name similarities were just a coincidence, that implied it was a deliberate correlation. Take that for whatever it's worth. One can wonder whether they could have had fun with this to an extent that ...

Given the non-linear temporal nature of the Lodge it could be that Cooper's 'possession' is retroactive and the Dale throughout the film is 'Bad Dale'; possibly going right back to his childhood, making subtle changes to history. .... possibly there's a note from Laura about the dream somewhere in ...

Copying the recent post from the general Spoiler thread, as, although asking a different/wider question at the end, the discussion on the Coop in the book itself once gone deeper into is definitely related to the questions discussed herein and maybe can generate additional insights specific therein ...
