Twin Peaks Season 3 Episode 9 Breakdown - This is the Chair

[@GameSpotUniverse]

Do you think Audrey is coming back soon?

[@Luchyi24]

Audrey is coming back. She is the key that's why David Lynch is waiting to show her.

[@lovenlightman]

Waiting for 9 episodes?That is way to much. Big disappointment

[@Redfoot138]

Maybe because of the way her character was used in the latter half of the second season, but I'm just not really experiencing much Audrey anticipation.

[@boomshankka1943]

i think Diane is working for Good coop, somehow she knows vaguely whats going on and is waiting and always has been to help agent coop

[@bearform666]

Didn't she get blown up in the bank?

[@Microfoot]

I love the trio of Frank, Hawk and Bobby.

[@RhombiClan]

ALSO CONSIDER: yes Cooper is obsessed with shoes. His shoes fell off in the room he escaped from in episode 3 (with Ronette Polaski or whoever she played. That means Dale has been wearing HIS SUIT but DOUGIES SHOES this whole time. "Shoes make the man." Maybe finding HIS shoes will "complete" Dale and that's why he's been so fixated on shoes. Notice how the camera cut to the shoes falling off of him when he escaped. He also stroked very affectionately (and almost longingly) the shoes of the statue in episode 5. I think that might be what turns Cooper into the real Cooper again, his shoes

[@gfox9295]

Interesting thought. But since his shoes are trapped back at the electrical socket in purple land, I doubt he's ever going to see them again. Dougie-Coop for life, apparently! Ah well, at least it's a good character. ;)

[@lizbajjalieh9841]

I like this theory!

[@RESISTING1]

Apologies in advance for Albert

[@davedahl4461]

The scene between Albert and the medical examiner was so good. Also Albert has the best line."So what happens in Season 2?"

[@andishifley5869]

Did anyone happen to notice that Dougie Jones boss, when talking with the Fusco brothers, ends the encounter by making a fist and then opening his hand 3 times....just like the dancing lady in red? It's a very deliberate action. See Ep 9 @ 12:05. Also it was Dougie's boss who said that he "understood" what the scribbles on Dougie's case files meant. Hmmmm.....

[@Ungtartog]

Another interesting detail is that in a previous episode evil Coop's finger prints were reversed, which they blamed on human error. In this episode we hear of other dimensions and alternate realities. In the popular conception, these are the same thing... in physics they are not. Most SF stories treat "other" dimensions as universes that invisibly exist parallel to our own. In physics, a conception of higher spatial dimension is an added "depth" for lack of a better common word to describe it. A cube in 4d is not a cube which is invisible to 3d observers in another reality, it would appear as a normal 3d cube and would have aspects that extend *in to* a 4d space... we would just observe the 3d "facet" of the object. In the same way you can "flip" a 2d object through the 3rd dimension (similar to turning over a sheet of paper) you could conceptually "flip" a 3 dimensional object through a 4th spatial dimension... essentially manifesting what the object looks like reflected in a mirror, right becomes left, etc.. (reversed fingerprints) It looks like the show may either be using both conceptions or fusing them together. I'm guessing Dougie's prints are going to come back as Coop's, matching the orientation found on file. Okay, what the hell... since I'm rambling... We are presented the notion that inverted Coop has a specific duration in *regular* world before he has to return to the lodge, after hence *regular* Coop re-emerges. Through some arcane trickery, which causes no small amount of agony for himself, inverted Coop manages to retain his presence in this reality and thwart, to some degree, Dale's successful return. "Dougie" is warned that one of them must die... perhaps this isn't so much due to some mystical law, but more to the properties of being a hyper dimensional object rotating in higher dimensions... To get back to the cube metaphor, the front and back of a 3d cube cannot occupy the same 2d plane without distorting the cube (they exist on two parallel planes adjacent to each other). A rigid cube would have to be broken in half to accomplish this. Let's say then, that we are talking about an object with more flexibility than a rigid cube and a shape more suited to bending, but still with some degree of resistance to distortion... say, like a rubber eraser. You can bring the opposing ends of the eraser into the same plane, but it requires a fair amount of energy to do so, and as soon as the energy too keep the eraser in a bent shape is released, the poles of the eraser spring back into their opposing positions. So Coop is some kinda rubbery shape, rotating through higher spatial dimensions, which pass through parallel realities... Both Coops are "real", but only one "facet" can occupy a "plane" of existence at a time. It does seem that this "rotation" is an unusual attribute as it doesn't appear as common in the twin peaks reality, but it does seem common in the lodge... so there is *something* about or in the lodge thats set these rotations in motion. Like, all the characters have inverted selves, but when everything is normal, regular selves stay in regular world and inverted selves stay in inverted world. Now if we are talking about space, we are inevitably drawn into a conversation about time... we've been given to understand that specific coordinates, which include time as a metric, are necessary to travel through dimensions/realities... there are other aspects, specific acts and substances that may be required (pocket of dirt)... the criteria of which are not yet fully revealed. Discussions of time can quickly become very complex, so I'm doing my best to just extract from what has been presented so far. I note that the director has as very specific intent with tempo, the pacing of things, time... this feels to me like a direct effort to influence how we, the observers of the story, arrange our perception of time. Why is the "lingering" awkward? What is fast? What is slow? In relation to what? I feel like this introspection is desired... or perhaps he is asking this question at such a base level of consciousness, he is not anticipating such specific rumination. The reverse speech in the black lodge is also part of the time model.... curiously, to us the observer, events unfold in a forward sequence (performed backward, but played *forward* for our benefit), but if one were actually in the lodge performing the actions (as the actors do) the events happen in reverse... to a denizen of the lodge, the way *we* perceive events, would be backwards. I can't see how all the pieces fit together yet, but there is obviously a way to break linear time since we have Major Briggs 40 year old body (unless Doppleganger). Sure there is more, this kinda freeform thought:... the new shape of the arm is interesting. If you imagine a 4d space as extending in time, than all of life on earth is one organism with each organism a filament on a great tree like structure... like a cladogram, but with perfect detail and curly because the whole thing is rotating in space in all kinds of directions. We are also shown the inverted tree (arm) which seems to have a destructive and hostile quality. The name "The arm" itself evokes chirality... a left and right side of things. Two trees in the garden of eden, the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge... two hemispheres of the brain one side attenuated to the convergent, one side to the divergent. These two principals permeate the universe, create the action of it, expansion and contraction. What shape can expand and contract at the same time without changing volume? Imagine the surface of a ring, stretchy, like rubber, rotating in on itself, through its center and back out... like a magnetic field... as the "skin" of the ring moves toward the center, it contracts, as it rolls through towards the edge, it expands... the ring stays the same. Two forces, in harmony, rotating. Ask the tree "what is below the soil?"... It answers: "A dark reflection of myself" ... There is only one tree... an up tree, and a down tree, connected at the trunk, it's branches limning an unseen torus. Keep your eye on the donut... not the hole.

[@Skittenmeow]

Glass Menagerie love this you captured some thoughts that we're rolling around in my subconcious now I'll go and do my own exploration. do almost all of the characters feel a bit inverted to you? so many of them are off and not who i recalled them to be. bad coops presence in regular world having some rotational force on others.

[@nettieforce1]

Thank you.

[@7dakattack7]

The ringing at the great northern is Josie Packard. Calling it right now.

[@BambooAcrobatVerte]

Mr. Cooper didn't text Diane. He texted someone (most likely Duncan Todd) and they warned Diane. His original message reads: "around the dinner table the conversation is lively" Diane's received message: "AROUND THE DINNER TABLE, THE CONVERSATION IS LIVELY." Someone on Reddit said this means that the primary evil spirits are back at the Black Lodge...i.e., The Arm and Bob sitting around the Formica table.

[@gnfcom]

good point, but it could be an inconsistency too so diane could be indeed conected to bobcoop

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Bamboo Acrobat thanks, I have to check that! A possible link between Diane and Mr C. was the most disturbing thing in that episode!

[@daanimus]

Yeah, that's how I had followed the scene, as well. I cannot rectify in my mind Diane working with the entity who clearly inflicted unspeakable horrors on her.

[@RandMiller325]

I'm gonna go ahead and agree also with this. I didn't feel like the text message was necessarily directly sent to Diane, but that Diane was getting it from a third party source (as we have seen many "sent messages/codes") sent.

[@kevinalford]

This is also my take, after seeing the caps difference.

[@seanporcelli3965]

That second paper was probably the signal major briggs printed out and showed to cooper 25 years ago.

[@mosesgarner2404]

YES! I agree. No one is coming up with this idea. I'm pretty sure it's the same paper the Major showed Cooper 25 years ago.

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Sean Porcelli yes, I immediately thought of that paper he had shown to Cooper!

[@ShinySephiroth1]

Sean Porcelli the paper showed a 3rd Cooper but it didn't finish it, right? so Doppleganger, Cooper, and the unfinished one is Doug E?

[@ryanschubert6012]

Totally is! The original actually had three Coopers and one more cut off. It hurts my brain to think there might be another one out there!

[@ShinySephiroth1]

Ryan Schubert whoa... so a fourth!?

[@MegaGiornalista]

Guys have you noticed that the Fuscos are a HUGE cameo to the Sheriff Cable played by Gary Bullock in Fire walk with me? First of all the resemblance between G. Bullock and David Koechner (who plays D. Fusco) is outstanding, especially in facial expressions and the way of acting. Then in Fire walk with me Sheriff Cable and his crew laughed a lot in a strange way (mostly at the FBI agent Chester Desmond) exactly like the Fusco's crew. And Dougie's boss did exactly the same gesture of opening and closing the fist that Lil the Dancer did and which meant the hostility of the local authorities in working with the FBI.

[@brandonfranzen5191]

Damn I didn’t even pick up on all the goofy laughing...good catch

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

This is so much more interesting than Game of Thrones

[@ecstahsy]

is no one going to mention the fact that hawk already found the entrance to the black lodge and has not said anything about it to anyone? maybe that scene was set in the future but idk

[@GaryALucas]

Maybe Hawk doesn't trust anyone.

[@Skittenmeow]

ｙ ｏ ｕ maybe hawk is one of the few twin peaks residents that is not an inversion or doppelganger. him and the log lady. they assume that everyone else is not on their side.

[@Nobodyreallyatall]

Maybe Briggss' is leading them to the White Lodge entrance? I think Hawk knows more about this than he lets on, the story about Twin Peaks that dates back to when Lewis (of Lewis and Clark) visited the Indians over 200 hundred years ago (from The Secret History). Hawk has been made a major player here for a reason.

[@kevinalford]

That's not the entrance to the black lodge, it's an entrance to the Red Room, which is a purgatory/waiting area, from what we've seen.

[@ryanschubert6012]

Different entrances, for sure. But it is conspicuous that Hawk hasn't shared that with anybody.

[@MWalkah]

Mr. C writes a text message all in lower case letters with no punctuation. The message Diane receives is all in caps and has correct punctuation. It's somewhat possible, considering this is not just a continuity error, that the message was actually for someone else and it was relayed to her by that person (Jeffries?).

[@MWalkah]

Another possibiity was suggested by a reddit user: "Smogshaik. I think it's some kind of ring or group of select individuals. DoppelCoop messages one person and that person messages a whole group of maybe 10 people, one of which is Diane. The message could be the calling of a meeting, but maybe that's a little obvious."

[@bra5081]

I think DIane might be working with Jeffries to trap Mr C.

[@ryanschubert6012]

That's an interesting possibility: that there is a middle agent.

[@JanPBtest]

No, if that was the case she'd know _immediately_ who Bad Coop was, she wouldn't have to be arm-twisted by Gordon to such extent, and her reaction from talking to Bad Coop would certainly NOT be anywhere near that tortured and upset. All she'd have to do was to put up merely a reasonable amount of playacting, there would be zero reason for her to come up with such performance.

[@qui-gonjohn2618]

Mark Walker naw when texting with phones like that to a iPhone it appears as such

[@PunkImagin8tionX]

Diane & Janey-e are also wearing red shoes in this ep.

[@chastityvicencio6]

Good catch!

[@lizbajjalieh9841]

Perhaps why Dale/Dougie's eyes got caught on the shoes in the police department - they were a reminder of Diane!

[@Zino117]

"What happens in season 2?"

[@SexyButCurious]

Zino117 That made me laugh so hard. Miguel Ferrer was funny in this episode.

[@Zino117]

Too funny. Another scene I liked was in the plane and he looks at Diane "yeah, I know. Fu*k you Albert."

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Zino117 and also "Fruitcake, anyone?". This character is hilarious, each scene with Albert and Gordon Cole a gift to me. Miguel Ferrer will be so missed!

[@duppedoore]

God damn didn't know he's dead. Feels like so many of the cast are actually dead nowadays ;_;

[@modder1975]

ZIno117 I have a long story to tell you :)

[@themikka87]

There's a flash before Johnny Horne hits the wall, so my first tought about it was he was trying to go trough a socket like Cooper (and Greg) did before.

[@tikidoctor973]

I noticed that too. There is a lampshade to the right of his body though, so it can be explained as just him knocking over a lamp. But take a look at the lamp base in the shot right before he crashes into the wall. It's brass, looks like a man in stride (running?), and at first I thought it looked like a Woodsman because of the coat. But upon further inspection it might be a cowboy/western figure wearing a vest with his head tilted down.

[@NightshadeHalloway]

I wouldn't be surprised if Spooky64 is actually Mark Frost further messing with us.

[@renefarkass9559]

Remember in season two, when Cooper said, "Hawk, if I ever get lost, I hope you're the one they send to find me." Someone may have theorized this already, but I think Hawk is the one who will bring Cooper back, not Audrey.

[@fuel]

You guys missed a thing that I just caught. Dougie's boss makes the forming a fist movement that Lil makes in FWWM. It means local law enforcement will be belligerent I think. Go back and watch that scene. It caught me off guard.

[@Redfoot138]

I was just reminded that he was once a boxer.

[@heysatan8]

Yeah that was really weird. You're right Lil does the same thing in FWWM, but doesn't someone in this new season do it, too? I feel like Red might have done it too.

[@fuel]

TheNozzle whoa I'll look for that

[@Cymonie1]

TheNozzle Dougie did it when he was looking at the boxing poster. It looked like he was just imitating what he saw, but maybe it was a call back to something else.

[@fuel]

MK Solomon weird. he did.

[@kidrocketbmx]

You missed Diane's shoes! She was also wearing RED flats. The door to the Twin Peaks police department are also RED, just like the Dougie's house ... in the previous episode it was the only house with red door.

[@jackhole10mm]

I noticed you guys never brought up the idea that Cooper's shoes being left in the lodge might be the 'piece of him' that is causing Dougie Cooper to be a fruitcake. They sure are putting alot of focus on shoes in the series...just saying.

[@noelmichaels2127]

Hi guys, I think an oversight of Ep. 9 was that they never went back to mentioning Andy's investigation into the hit and run truck. The vehicular homicide of this little boy probably would have been the biggest crime to take place in a small town like Twin Peaks in the last 25 years, and no one from the police is investigating it? Andy is looking at furniture on the internet? The crime was not even mentioned, but in reality the TPPD would have every officer working on it around the clock, right?

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Noel Michaels yes, I thought the same as you. although if it happened in Deer Meadow as seen in the previous comment, Andy was on it, and we still don't know what happened to the owner of the truck (killed by Richard? By Chad??)

[@ryanschubert6012]

Very good point, Noel! So many other plot lines advanced and that one focused on chair shopping.

[@yans.3908]

we have to expect that we will not see every little tiny detail on everything like a normal TV Show do, it's not to say that we will maybe see what hapenned with this later, we are watching Twin Peaks, and some scenes may be shown later in time, and maybe not always in a chronological order...

[@lyricsfromsweden]

Is it future or is it past?

[@EnigmaVocals]

Agree here. David directed this season fully alone & his brain is very old now. Another moment, Agent Preston while listening Bill about Bahamas, she didn't even ask how Ruth or Major were killed. And what was the look of the place in that realm & other important questions which FBI normally interrogate.

[@bonesjackson2]

I want to go scuba diving!

[@itsbigcliff5178]

just my feelings...but for these reviewer's here to just say " Oh Bobby had to throw the metal cylinder to break it and get to the papers " ....ummmm ...thats not exactly what i saw ...i saw Bobby throw it down the first time to get it vibrating to a certain pitch then it makes a unlocking click ...then he throws it down again to seperate it ....knowing Lynch and that Giant in an earlier episode say " listen to the sounds " ....i believe vibrations play a MAJOR part in this show ... ijs ..peace

[@thesonicravn870]

What if his foot has become a seperate being. THE FOOT. I say this because it's completly covered so they are saving it as a reveal. And there is already an arm that has a similar voice. So he probably will cut it off just like the other guy did. And Bob's partner said he cut it off because it was evil. And it probably spoke to him and tried to sway him, just like the arm is doing with dougie in episode 7. So the foot or leg might actually be a good being... You saw it here first

[@andishifley5869]

Yes, I thought that there was a striking similarity with the evolved, talking arm that had belonged to Mike in the Black Lodge. The whole scene with Jerry and his foot had an uneasy feeling.

[@bra5081]

Very funny scene but what spook me out is that the leg seems to talk with Lucy's voice :D

[@lyricsfromsweden]

I don't think that scene is anything other than drug paranoia.

[@evan258]

I also noticed that with the music how it sounded SOOOO similar but slightly different. I know these videos are old but I am watching them after every episode cause I feel the small stuff I miss even when I am completely glued to the screen. This is one of the best shows ever and only on episode 10! Lynch is a genius.

[@Medquill]

Diane's nails are white. and black. and red. White lodge, red curtain, black lodge???

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

K. Medeiros Diane nails are in the colour of what she's wearing. Dark green, red, light grey. The scene of her sitting in the morgue, with the green sofa, green, black and grey floor, pink walls, was aesthetically a jewel! And very Edward Hopper, imo.

[@maximumgainpodcast4835]

I'm so happy for Matthew Lillard!

[@XDTVreloadet]

In the scene with Hawk, Bobby and Sheriff Truman they say that 2nd of October is in 2 Days. However Bill Hastings writes the date 20.09. next to Major Briggs Photo. That must mean that the stories we are following are not happening simultaneously

[@ilyennemvan]

Hey Guys! Great review! But maybe you didn't notice Bushnell's hands. His left hand is in his pocket, and at the and of the interrogation, he made his right hand into fist three times. It's imo is a reference to the Fire Walk With Me. I don't know what it means in this season, but definitely not a random acting. As we all know, everything could be a hint or sign. And the owls are not what they seem, as well! Keep going! Doing a great job! Thank you!

[@chastityvicencio6]

Kristóf Gaál Thanks! I didn't notice that, I'll have to look again!

[@Duomaxwell2009]

First off, omg you guys used my comment and responded in the video. I lost it sooo bad. Second, Diane getting that text might not have been from Mr Cooper but instead came as a warning from someone else. I know someone below stated that also but it makes sense. I have faith that Diane never gave up on Cooper and is instead working to find the real Coop.

[@chastityvicencio6]

I also have faith in Diane so I hope this is true!

[@ryanschubert6012]

I sincerely hope you are right, Julian! Thanks for your comments!

[@grootoob23]

Love the ethereal soundtrack on this week's breakdown.

[@993JAM]

I noticed a few things: 1.- The Cooper Cooper message from Major Briggs is of the deep space monitor that delivers the "the owls are not what they seem message" from the original series. 2.- The rash that the junkie girl has is also present on Ike The Spike. 3.- In Major Briggs message I think that the owl cave symbol represents the black lodge and the red sun symbol on the left of it represents the White Lodge.

[@paulthevideogamenerd]

It's funny to think about Dale when you realize he's kinda like a sleeper agent right now, and he's just slowly waking up with small things bringing him closer and closer back.

[@fsharp9811]

This is a formica dinner table.

[@jefftateii9403]

Communes Green is its color...

[@DanielsAFK]

Greg at the vending machine was priceless. Mr Snackpots?

[@natanielcostard]

Another guestbook bit: "There have been a few articles of well-known scientists who admitted they were trying to break thru to a parallel universe, so it’s obvious even hard science is beginning to acknowledge there are indeed parallel universes. In general though science is a very dogmatic field and not open to enquiry. What’s funny is when it’s reported that science has ‘found something that shouldn’t exist’ as if the whole universe is governed by man made laws of physics. Thanks for all your work, Bill...those of us in the community commend and support you!" and also: "Oh Lord … It was grand to meet you H.V.!" from Stewart Fuller- Date: 20 Sep 14 06:06pm For a while actual people`s messages were allowed but then suddenly they deleted them all...

[@MisterSatisfied]

Ooooooh, i had completely forgotten who Johnny was. Thanx for clearing that up. I didn't recognize him without the indian hat!

[@JanPBtest]

BTW, how was Ray ever able to prepare Bad Coop's gun in their escape car? This seems 100% impossible given the circumstances. My only explanation is that the warden did this, cooperating with Ray. In other words, the warden was intimidated by Bad Coop and "Mr. Strawberry" but not enough NOT to hatch a little plan on the side.

[@Luchyi24]

The web page is an AMAZING idea. David Lynch is a genius! Greg please come back, I miss you!! Kisses from Argentina ;) PD: Remember WE HAVE THE BOX!!!

[@devonhines1119]

I think Cooper/Dougie has to be brought back to the sycamore trees, since that was really the last place he was himself was in the woods.

[@oxymorawoodvetch1587]

The sound the cylinder makes, after Bobby throws it but before it opens, is similar to the sound happening at The Great Northern in Twin Peaks.

[@siddhantdas33]

You guys missed out a scene, where Tammy and Gordon join Diane outside the morgue. It was a silent scene and Diane and Gordon talk in sign language or so I noticed. Explain that scene.....

[@tuimusic]

These videos are so well put together , especially how quick you get them out!

[@chastityvicencio6]

Thank you so much! The whole team works really hard. We really appreciate it.

[@Billyonare97]

Listened all the way through the 'click here' on William Hastings blog, it's basically just 10 minutes of the twin peaks return soundtrack with a bit of static and slight talking sometimes that can't be made out. The most interesting part of the website is by far the guest book.

[@HenrikStaib]

Mr. C sent the text in lower caps. The text was opened in Dianes phone in CAPS.

[@zapakguy1991]

The penguin could be a reference to Cooper's joke- Two penguins were walking across an iceberg. One penguin turned to the second penguin and said, "You look like you're wearing a tuxedo." And the second penguin said, "Maybe I am."

[@NataliaHerreraNH]

Lucy was right. It was about the bunny #jackrabbitsplace

[@katsmirnoff5791]

I've always had the feeling we would get back to that bunny. Yes!

[@Robert5hw]

Y'all are like my "Talking Dead" for this series. Need you guys to decompress afterwords and wrap my mind around this crazy show.

[@hempracer]

you missed all the green things too. I believe the red and green were chosen for a reason. Diane had red and green on.

[@danield230]

I didn't read the comments below but the "red shoes" are most likely an homage to Dorothy's "Ruby Red Slippers" from "The Wizard of Oz," which along with "The FBI Story" seem to be the most influential movies on David Lynch.

[@carsonjones3692]

I really believe that coffee could be one of the ways Dougie-Coop snaps back into Dale Cooper. I know he's had coffee already in the series, but I believe him drinking Twin Peaks coffee from the Double R Dinner, which he loves so much, will help him remember. I know I could be compleatly wrong but there is a scene in my head that plays out where Dougie-Coop manages to waddle his way back to Twin Peaks (cause he's got to get their eventually), gets into the Double R Dinner, Shelly or Norma regonize him and are like "Dale? You've been gone for 25 years! Well....here's some coffee if you want", he takes a sip of coffee, and then he jumps up yelling "DAMN GOOD COFFEE", gets really excited, starts being Dale Cooper again, and then whatever follows. Yeah this is a pretty unlikely idea but whatever XD You get the point: He gets his memory back when he gets some damn good coffee again

[@carsonjones3692]

Also no one really mentioned how Bobby knew how to open the pen thing but didn't say anything until they kicked Chad out of the conference room. Pretty sure one reason he did was he thought "Woah I remember how to open that! How bout i tell--- No No no, Chad is proably eating lunch there again. Im just going to wait till we can kick him out and then tell them" or he just remembered once he got there but him wanting to mess with Chad is funnier XD

[@CR3271]

9:03 THANK YOU!!! For all the vids I've watched, and all the Audrey Horne fandom out there, everyone seems to miss this. I think it was in the original pilot where Audrey rode to school in a dark skirt with black and white shoes. When she got to her locker she swapped out her shoes for red ones. The things that capture Dougie Cooper's attention are things directly connected to his past. The reason the woman at the police station caught his attention is because the dark-skirt-and-red-shoes combo was an Audrey Horne signature look! Yeah, there's a lot of other red in this episode, but I don't think Cooper's attention is drawn by anything deeper that his connection to Audrey.

[@user-zz8ln3uh5x]

Lastly: The audio/video file on William Hastings' site can be "right clicked" so you can pause, fast forward etc.

[@lukegooderham4207]

Chasity or gregg both make compelling points obviously both huge fans of the show. This is the best coverage on KZbin atm

[@chastityvicencio6]

Thank you!

[@lukegooderham4207]

Chastity Vicencio your doing a top job

[@DethronerX]

Funny thing is, Dale is not being Dougie at all, who was totally different. : D And notice the pattern on the chair. Change the color to green and its similar to the Lodge chairs, or, in black and white, to the Giant's house or Henry's apartment The black box in earlier season was also opened like this... it fell or Pete threw it, i forgot, but great scene. I think at some point, he gets his gun too : D 14:28 notice the blood flowing down similar to the photo One of the girls (not the Sky Ferrea one), seems like one of the girls in Lynch's short, A Room To Dream, but could be not Speaking of red, are we missing the blood?

[@frankhuizar9171]

I just wanted to point out that the red bandana handkerchief that bad Coop retrieves off the fence, is very very similar to the Cowboy's bandana handkerchief in Mullholland Dr. I thought that was pretty interesting.

[@tommycross9294]

Do you think that the FBI perhaps knows that Diane has been communicating with Bob Cooper? We know that she doesn't seem to be working in any FBI office right now, but we don't know whether that was her decision or that she was squeezed out for some reason?

[@andishifley5869]

Diane's shoes were also red, in very stark contrast to her deep green outfit.

[@detail32]

FWWM Soundtrack. The music when Ike is tracked down is from one of the scenes in FWWM with Chester Desmond.

[@michaeljamesmoore]

Why did Hastings date 09/20 with his signature, but 10/01 is only 48 hours away? Is 09/20 the date he claims to have seen Briggs?

[@Redfoot138]

I thought that at first but if you look closely the date is actually 9/29.

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Mike Moore oh thanks I wasn't the only one to see that! Is it 9/29???

[@AmirBuxbaum]

Clearly he's writing 09/20 (the "0" and the "9" are completely different). So either we have different timelines viewed simultaneously, or Lynch made a rare mistake.

[@jefftateii9403]

Amir Buxbaum It's hard to see, but the tail of the 9 is written at the intersection of two colors. Also, being handcuffed, it was difficult to write for Bill. The 9 he wrote looks weird.

[@AmirBuxbaum]

Ah, you're right! Just saw it now. My bad.

I hope Spooky64 does not go Chester Desmond on us !

I took the package of food Chantal gives to Bob Cooper to be a form of code. Hutch gives him the phone, he texts, makes his phone call, and then puts the phone in his back pocket like he intends to keep it. She gives him the food and looks in his eyes, then he immediately pulls out the phone, throws it away, and orders it destroyed. Perhaps she knows Hutch can't be trusted?

[@heysatan8]

She just really likes chips. If you go back to the episode where we first see Chantal, her motel room has empty bags of chips scattered all over the room. There was junk food everywhere.

@GameSpotUniverse I think the red ballons are represented by the red circle figure drawn on the paper left by Major Briggs. These red balloons may symbolise the protection that Dougie seems to benefit (won 30 jackpots, escaped 3 murder attempts, and maybe more) as he is a pure soul.

[@garlitsky]

There are actually 3 "COOPER" on the paper left by Major Briggs. This paper is seen in the original series and comes from Listening Post Alpha.

[@mosesgarner2404]

YES! Indeed!

[@liviurebreanu388]

Yes but the third "COOPER" is cut and it only said "CO" probably because the third Cooper was Dougie Jones but he is dead and was replaced by Good Cooper so now there are only 2 Coopers (Good Cooper and Bad Cooper).

[@garlitsky]

Good point. I was just stating where this paper originally came from as there is no mention of it in the video.

[@richardaproche]

Liviu Rebreanu maybe the partial Cooper is Sonny Jim...

[@spyderdogg6248]

I first thought Diane may be brainwashed and the text was a trigger to start a buried suggestion or command. Only thing is that she seemed to be waiting for the text - even trying to contact him first

[@nateblack8669]

When Diane got that text from Mr. Cooper my heart dropped.

[@macaoliv9629]

Did anyone notice that at Gordon, Diane and Tammy's scene they are moving backwards??

[@obzord]

Didn't see if anyone else raised this in the comments, but could it be that the numbers that Hastings and Davenport told Major Briggs were the 253 he put in the piece of paper he left for Booby and the others? And those are the "coordinates" that Cooper/Bob is hoping to get from Ray? Also, the papers showed a couple of planets/moons -- would this be related to a specific moment in time when Jupiter and Saturn meet to open the door to the waiting room (and/or the lodges) like in the final episodes of the second season?

[@linhvu9485]

Greg is hilarious 😂 I love the arrangement of this episode but let's bring Greg back when he is out of shock guys hahah

[@gramsci1094]

What about if the whole town of Twin Peaks is doppelganger, and that's why everything feels so weird

[@Skittenmeow]

Gramsci i think a couple of people aren't...hawk and log lady and maybe some others. but most of them feel like doppels to me. they are "off". also when bill days there were lots of people in "the zone" could these be the originals stuck there while their doppelgangers run amok?

[@jamiebraswell5520]

Do you think that, perhaps, Johnny Horn could hear the mystery hum at the Great Northern, leading to his fit?

[@julianajuca8331]

sorry if someone said already this but: Hastings wrote 9/20 Sheriff​ Truman read 10/1 10/2 and said it was a couple of days from that day, meaning he was probably at 9/29 (or 28?) maybe this storylines are not happening at the same time. and maybe they are 9 days apart. and we have 9 apisodes ahead.

[@MusicMaing]

The text Mr C sent was in lower case, whereas the one Dianne received was in all caps. Unless it's an oversight, this implies that Dianne is working with someone associated with Mr C, who is relaying the message. This could mean that Dianne is in on it OR that she is getting information from an insider and working against Mr C.

[@Lelouch21000]

The color red seemed important. The 3 pairs of red of red shoes worn by 3 different people. Cooper was starring at the shoes when the women walked by. The red chair.

[@Lelouch21000]

The red cups.

[@lizbajjalieh9841]

I wonder if it wasn't the Black Lodge that messed up Dale's head, but the actual socket-thing that helped him transfer back to the "real world." Because in the Black Lodge scenes back in episode 2 and 3, he seems relatively coherent of his situation. It wasn't until he started hitting that electrical current thing in the room with the blind woman that we got the sort of dazed look in his eyes. Does that mean there's hope he'll wake up with another "shock" of some kind? Maybe i'm just grasping at straws because I want him to wake up already!

[@lizbajjalieh9841]

Which also begs the question, what WAS the electrical current thing? Does it have anything to do with the device we saw in the Giant's 'house' and outside the room in 'non-existence'?

[@michaelhull8813]

During the Smoke Break scene with Lynch and Dern - is it like the red-dress lady in Fire Walk with Me? Agent Preston is doing things that is communicating to Dern???? Idunno

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Michael Hull I think she's pretty irritated by Diane's attitude...

[@MultiDani2020]

Diane's nail colors match the black, white, and red color schemes of the black lodge. also her green outfit matches the morgue's couch she's sitting on perfectly. even the yellow American spirits and red purse match the stripes in that outfit. matching the black lodge and morgue seems like a bad omen.

[@ashkanbashiri]

FYI, Thesearchforthezone.com was created on 17 November, 2016!

[@moneteee]

The series is set in 2014, it's totally possible that someone else got Hastings credentials

[@JohnBurnsjohnrexb]

Hey, you didn't mention that the cigar tube thing was humming the 1st time Bobby smacked it on the ground... same hum from the mill?

[@wormswithteeth]

Hawk blinked in reverse...

[@RhombiClan]

Audrey might be key to Cooper becoming Cooper, but consider this: Our wallets have our ID, AKA our IDENTITY (identification). Dougie Cooper is missing that. Maybe when Cooper gets his ID and his badge back he will also get his identity back.

[@clementeen]

The date that Bill Hastings writes is 9/20 but Hawk and Truman said that the date on the note Briggs gave them is 2 days away and it was the 10th month

[@raymondgadget]

[@Kodaemon]

We already KNOW that Coop's going to be back in the real world. He's been shown in promos with his FBI pin.

[@milton7763]

I haven't seen anyone questioning an obvious thing: if memory serves, some 25 years ago Windom Earl (not sure how to spell his name) mentioned puncturing Diane's aorta (a truly ´killer move´). Yet no-one seems to be surprised to find her alive and well...?

[@scottiwen4745]

One aspect of a scene that I have not seen commented on is when Mr. C is at the farm walking around with Hutch and Chantal. Twice we see them walk by a couple who seemed either dead, asleep or at least passed out. Any thoughts on what is going on?

[@Skittenmeow]

given that lynch and frost would have anticipated the massive Internet analysis and discussion (particularly reddit and youtube) does anyone feel like a large number of postings "you saw it here first" revelations could be scheduled by them as part of the experience? ie bill hastings site has made it into our reality could other messages be "sent" from the twin peaks universe to guide us and shape the discussion and understanding of that universe? the twin peaks meta experience in print, music, Internet, television and quantum physics

[@heysatan8]

This just made me think of something very strange discovered by a redditor after Episode 8. That weird poem the Woodsman says over the radio about "This is the water and this is the well." It was found on only one website, at the bottom of a message board emedded in the site, and it was put there BEFORE the episode ever aired. It was EXTREMELY odd, very X-files-esque.

[@Skittenmeow]

TheNozzle brilliant! I think we may find other easter eggs like that everywhere over time, and maybe we should be hunting down dialogue in real time as it airs to find out where it exists before. these sites might end up holding other clues - possibly even messages hidden in their code. i want to know what's at those coordinates!

[@TheSpf45]

I still think the key to getting Dale back to normal is his shoes. The camera focuses on Dale leaving his shoes behind not the mauve room, and Duggie entering the red room without his shoes. Dale later is then fixated with the statue's shoes. Now the camera pans between the heels and the outlet. I'm convinced he needs his shoes back to regain his mental facilities.

[@victoriamiller4873]

Per your Easter Eggs about things that are Red, you totally missed Diane's shoes were Red. Since Dale Cooper and Diane were so close in the original seasons, maybe that's why the Red High Heels captured Dougie's attention. You can see Diane's shoes when she is sitting down about to light her cigarette at the Morgue.

[@matthewcrowder400]

Does nobody remember the piece of paper with Cooper on it is what Briggs gave Coop in the original series? It also said the owls are not what they seem (on the full piece).

[@kathiravanganesh5618]

we miss the Greg

[@gloriaillustrations3483]

Hello! Maybe I made a mistake, but did anyone notice the dates? When Sheriff Truman is reading the piece of paper, 2 dates are written: 10/1 and 10/2, and he says something like "it's 2 days from now". That means that we're on the 9/29. And when Hastings in signing on the Major's picture, he writes 9/20.... Also, is anyone else wondering why Andy is buying a chair, instead of looking for the guy who caused the death of a child in the hit and run? Or for the guy who owned the truck? I found that very weird.

[@johnsperry9494]

It seems to me that episodes 1 through 7 presented the main plot lines, then Episode 8 was like an intermission, totally deviating from the main plots with historical background, and now episode 9 returns to the main plot lines again. Nothing like episode 8 will happen again. Anyone who expected a continuation of episode 8 (other than the Mr. C. plot) was way off. One thing I wanted to point out about Dougie: In the Dougie character, Cooper is displaying all the classic symptoms of a major case of amnesia, probably caused by the transition through the electric outlets. In his current state, he has full adult cognition, but is otherwise absent of any previous memories, and is at the developmental level of a one-year-old. Children of that age have a surprisingly large recognition vocabulary, and understand what people are saying, but cannot vocalize beyond one or two syllables, and then only repeating back what they hear other people say. Although it is rather cliche, I think a subsequent blow to the head or other traumatic event is what will snap him out of the amnesia.
