I think the Harvey Keitel-type dude who hooks Tony up with the poison, and his partner.

But when Charlie asked whether Audrey wanted to stay or go, she said she wanted to do both, and asked Charlie, "Which one would you be?" Which one would he be? I have no idea what she means. I think it’s the idea of paths untaken in our lives, a theme of the season and particularly the “O...

Anyone able to say more about the statue? It really reminds me of a giant version of a 1 32nd scale green plastic soldier that I used to play with in the 1970s..... that exact pose... The uniform seems to be the US army Vietnam era OG 107 Cotton Sateen Utility Uniform: 1496675373-new-twin-peaks-sta...

Why on earth did Cooper make an appointment to meet the Mitchum bros at the lobby of The Silver Mustang Casino, whereas he seemed to be in a hurry to get at the Sheriff's station on time? What was so crucial for him that "urged" him to say good-bye from "his family" between thos...

I really have to disagree with your appraisal of the first half of 17. The whole point was to defy expectations and have a 'twisted reunion'. When Mr. C greets Andy and Lucy, we finally get the reunion we're waiting for but with an unexpected twist: it's with the wrong Cooper. Aided by brilliant so...

It’s really remarkable what a straight-down-the-middle split this Part is for me: a half hour that doesn’t work for me AT ALL, where this season’s worst tendencies take over and things completely derail, followed by an incredibly powerful, hypnotic, beautiful half hour (heralded by the arrival of th...

On the Mad Men commentary for “Mystery Date,” Weiner (a big TP fanboy) talks about being hesitant to cast Mädchen because he felt she was too famous and would pull people out of the world of the show (humorously, he didn’t have this issue with Alexis Bledel, Neve Campbell, Linda Cardellini or Mr. Be...

Is this the reading that the majority of viewers (even fans) will make? I don't really subscribe to Lynch's general notion of making one's own interpretations (as though they are all equally valid). Eventually, one should aim to reach some kind of consensus, backed up by some level of evidence. Whi...

The most likely option is that those are making of videos, interviews etc. But in the less likely event we're getting 4 hours of deleted scenes, I'm amused by the thought that TPTR would still have a "limited amount" of deleted scenes, like Sutherland (iirc? or was it Lynch himself?) ment...

It’s difficult to process the “Cooper awakens” material in Part 16 in light of the finale. When this one first aired, the stuff with Dale was one long series of fist-pumps (even if I was a little troubled when Dale’s usually impeccable moral compass apparently indicated that the murderous Mitchums h...

What I don't understand at all is, besides the accent, why couldn't this role have been given to James? All that would have had to happen is Ben sends James down to investigate the hum, he is then transported to meet with the Fireman, and the Fireman sends him to a local hardware store to get a glo...

Hope it's OK etiquette to bump this dormant thread. I think there's a lot of analysis to be done in light of the finale, vis a vis Diane in the old show as Coop's unseen idea-receptacle, and in the new show as faceless/voiceless Naido and as Mr. C's tulpa-slave/rape victim (not to mention her estran...

I think it’s a fine like between defying the writers/producers/directors for your own ego vs. wanting to protect your character. For instance, I’ve always respected Fenn for refusing to engage in the moronic Miss Twin Peaks shenanigans. In contrast, the totality of Fenn’s public comments over the pa...

As I posted in the Profoundly Disappointed thread, the Sunset Boulevard clip seems to serve yet another purpose in light of Parts 17 & 18: it reminds us that Norma Desmond’s fantasy of “the old team back together” is nothing more than a sad impossible delusion. I think this line, and its broader...

I also remember the “40% Frost” figure, but I thought I remembered Lynch saying it! I haven’t mentioned it since I can’t find the source. As to rearranging the pieces...the recently released BBFC specs on the Blu Ray seem to possibly indicate a lot more deleted scenes than any of us expected? I’m sk...
