Totlly agree. The "Moonlight Sonata" scene might be my favorite scene of the whole Return to date. Exactly the sort of skin-crawling dreamy Lynchian horror I was hoping for from the show. Hope we get a bit more of that.David Locke wrote:I've always liked Ray and this resemblance is fitting given the LH-esque night driving scenes that open Part 8. Also gotta love Ray's horrified, wordless reaction to the woodsmen doing whatever it is they do to DoppelCoop (healing him, I guess). God, that whole scene is absolutely one of the eeriest and strangest things Lynch has ever shot - in its own way, it's even more unsettling and uncanny than the jolly misadventures of the poetry-reciting, skull-crushing woodsman.
It's definitely up there for me as well. And for some reason I also was immediately reminded of the 90s B&W avant-garde horror-art film Begotten when I saw that scene - a likeness other bloggers have pointed out. Something about the inexplicable and almost mythical, primeval dance of these devilish creatures very much called to mind the kind of Biblical scripture-on-LSD quality of Begotten. (Which seems to be at least somewhat of a descendent of Eraserhead, even as it moves into far more disturbing territories).Mr. Reindeer wrote:Totlly agree.

So, we're not just a world of truck drivers. We're either golden orbs or frog bugs!ThumbsUp wrote:Hi, I just rewatched this episode and had some new observations. Apologies if they were already brought up.
In the beginning of the scene within the mushroom cloud, it looks like we see millions of golden orbs, and then immediately it looks (and sounds) like swarms of millions and millions of frog bugs?
Also, I wonder if the Woodsmen kill people by crushing their heads because Laura was born from the Giant's head, and they feel some innate need to neutralize any potential threats that can spawn forces of good?
Or both! Someone in the Theories & Speculation thread mentioned that a gold orb and bug frog egg appear once Dougie is being deconstructed. Kind of symbolises the running theme of duality.BigEd wrote:So, we're not just a world of truck drivers.

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. Although, since Dougie was manufactured, it looks like they used much less gold and much more bug.ThumbsUp wrote:Or both!

All that was left was the gold, the rest of it burned away.BigEd wrote:I hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense.
