Ep3&4 spoilers
Cooper coming back to form is going to be epic. His impaired state is the biggest cocktease but its like you've been edging for the past 25 years and youre about to blow, and you know it.
 
I knew it couldn't be a coincidence that
Cooperganger (Doppelcoop?)
grew out his hair and wore a single-tone vest/pants combo. If he's not
Bob
outright he's definitely taking a page from his style book.

I propose "Doop".
It's a combination of Doppleganger and Coop, but also is homophonous with "dupe", to go along with him being a duplicitous duplicate.

Let's talk about Matthew Lillard here. Am I the only one who thinks that his character is damn interesting? Am I the only one who thinks that this is already his best performance since SCREAM? I really like him in this season so far...his facial expressions are perfect. The interrogation scene was amazing. He was amazing.

Agreed 100%

I already rewatched all four episodes. Not only were they still fucking entertaining, but they felt so different the second time around. For example, the screne in Ep 1 where both kids are watching the box... it felt like ages the first time I was watching. The second time it just happened right away. Everything felt different but I was able to pick up on a lot more too.

It feels like hes moving things along at a slow pace and a fast pace simultaneously. He really lets some moments linger to really sink in and appreciate what's happening. I fucking love it.
 
Ok Cooper in jail might be one of the creepiest things I've ever seen. It's like a vampire wanting you to let it in your house, or like in the Thing when Wilford Brimley was trying to get out of that shack.

And besides, if Bob isn't in Evil Coop, where the hell is he?
I think he is in him ("Phillip Jeffries" makes it sound like he's going to deliver Bob back to the lodge), he's just not possessing him. If Hastings was indeed temporarily possessed by Bob when he had the dream, that could mean that Doop is acting like a vector for the parasite. Allowing him to move around somewhat freely to indulge in new pain and pleasures wherever they go.

I don't see why it would be Audrey. Why would she know Cooper better than the FBI? Unless major things happened in 25 years of course. My bet is on Diane.
People seem a little too eager to shoehorn Audrey into every identity-related mystery (same with Annie, and this is the one I'm guilty of). I will be disappointed if Audrey turns out to play a major role in solving the Coop situation. Not only did she not know the man well, she had no connection to the supernatural subplots of Twin Peaks.

I propose "Doop".

I've been trying to make Doop happen since day 1 (it's not going to happen).

Yes that story line is actually more interesting to me than what's going on in Twin Peaks. So is Robert Forrester supposed to be Truman's brother? He's awesome.

Totally agree. I've watched all four episodes twice, except #4 (which I've watched thrice :D )
I love it and the pacing is perfect.
 
The red room was refashioned into being Cooper's dream so it could be incorporated into the show, but it was originally was a literal representation of what happens to Cooper 25 years later, as a 'what the fuck' ending should the pilot not be picked up to series or be released theatrically in Europe.

It's said that Frost and Lynch knew Leland was the killer fairly early into the process of making the series.

Yeah. That makes sense(Cooper 25 years later) because I always wondered why Cooper looked old in that part.

Got a chromecast and I'm currently watching fire walk with me. Like I'm sure many here, I'm ready to sub to Showtime just for Twin Peaks. Though glad they offer a 30 day trial now.
 
I strongly preferred episodes 1&2 to 3&4.

The scenes that dragged on in the first pair of episodes were, at the very least, tense. The ones in 3&4 (
Cooper eating breakfast, everything in the casino, the Wally speech
) were just silly or dull.

In any event, my big hope right now is that the charcoal ghost from episode 2's jail scene ends up being significant and not just Lynch being Lynch. That thing was creepy in a really compelling way.

Shadow, take me down
Shadow, take me down with you

For the last time
For the last time
For the last time
For the last time

You're in the water
I'm standing on the shore
Still thinking that I hear your voice
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

For the last time
For the last time
For the last time
For the last time

At night I'm driving in your car
Pretending that we'll leave this town
We're watching all the street lights fade
And now you're just a stranger's dream
I took your picture from the frame
And now you're nothing like you seem
Your shadow fell like last night's rain

For the last time
For the last time
For the last time
For the last time

Looping continuously in my head for the last two days.

I liked all four episodes about the same but for different reasons. I've said this before, but each episode so far feels like Lynch but different sides of Lynch. I feel all four episodes are very good at what they try to do, but which you enjoy the most will be completely dependent what you're looking for. I think that's a big part of the reason you see so many differing opinions on each episode pretty evenly, each feels focused on a different tone of Lynch. Each episode also seems focused so far on two 'main' plots and a few smaller scenes.
 
I'll probably take a few days to rewatch the first four episodes before the next batch. So much happened and a lot was confusing. I still have trouble sorting out the Coops lol.

Well, it's BOB in Coop's doppelganger. Jeffries, or the guy pretending to be Jeffries, wants the doppelganger to return to the lodge so he can be with BOB again, so clearly BOB is in that body too.
[/spoiler]

It means exactly the opposite though ?

That bad cooper needs to go back to the lodge, with bob, aka where bob is => the lodge.

If anything it proves bad cooper isn't bob himself or it would have been "bob you need to go back" or "you and bob need to go back".

Okay. So finally rewatched all 4. Almost all of part 3 and part 4 up to the
Denise
scene looks like raw unprocessed video, where everything else looks to have been processed to look filmic. I didn't realise at the time, but all the bits I struggled with on first watch look like raw video. I can't fathom why this would be a directorial choice... But it would have to be a big mistake. That said I hope to hell that no other parts look like raw video, because obviously it throws me right out.

It's not like it's just the
Dougie
scenes. It's everything.
The sheriff's office scenes, the roadhouse scenes, the Philadelphia scenes.
Then we cut to
Denise's office and it doesn't switch back.

I'm leaning towards mistake. Anyone else notice this or have thoughts on it?

At least I know why I struggled with Part 3 so much now.
 
It seemed like she got punished for giving Cooper information? Hard to say for sure
Very curious as to what she told him. What kind of information could she provide now a days? We know who her killer is.
Maybe she told him what Bob's plan is? Or how to capture him?
And maybe the arm heard her and banished her from the room. Or not the arm but the other arm thing that attacked Cooper in the lodge before he fell through the floor

James looked cool. You wait for him to do something and he spends two seasons and a movie sulking in monotone.

Should've just worn shades the entire time.

If the teasers are any indication, the worst (video quality) is yet to come. The scenes related to Carl Rodd in particular looked so raw, I assumed Lynch just sent them some unprocessed footage while he was still editing.

I feel like this has been Lynch's preferred style ever since he fell in love with DV. I don't expect it to "improve" a ton. I think he wants it to look raw, for whatever reason.
