Dougie was wearing the ring. Remember he shrinks and then it falls from his finger in Part 3? Oops, guess I forgot about that. Well ... okay, I don't know why "Diane" didn't need a ring. Because she was killed, not repossessed by the Lodge. But Ray was killed and had to have a ring to go ...

Wow, like the Animal Man comics circa 1989? That's too mind-blowing for me to deal with!

If all the characters in a dream are really aspects of the dreamer, as the log lady says in the introduction to episode 9 (s02e01) The "cooper's doppelgänger" character was conceived 25 years prior to the Richard Horne character. The only place he's "25 years his senior" is in t...

Yes, although I'm not sure as to why Diane didn't need to be wearing the ring. Dougie Jones wasn't wearing the ring, right? Maybe tulpas automatically go into the Lodge when their time on Earth expires. Dougie was wearing the ring. Remember he shrinks and then it falls from his finger in Part 3? Oo...

Finally caught up on all of the pages and surprised nobody has mentioned what the connection of 'the seed' and tulpas has to do with the box in Buenos Aires. I'm particularly convinced too by an earlier poster's idea of Albert being involved with the 'Jeffries' call in episode 2. Maybe he is still ...

How can Coop be awake with BadCooper still out there? Didn't Mike say back in episode 2 that two Dales couldn't be out at the same time and one would have to come back in for him to go out? It doesn't appear to be the "natural order" of things (if there's anything natural about this), but...

He forgot the ring under the pillow I had the same concern initially, but then decided that he probably just grabbed it while he was getting dressed. My guess is that he's supposed to somehow get it onto Mr. C's finger before he is killed so that he'll be pulled into the lodge/waiting room like Ray...

I'm surprised more people aren't more annoyed with the Cooper age discrepancy. Gahhhhhhhhh. I'll stew in my own pain haha. Is there a discrepancy, though? Maybe the doppelganger was created when Cooper entered the Red Room. That'd make him 25 years older than Richard. I've been trying to stay out a...

About the Diane/Naido connection: The "I'm in the Sheriff's station" made me think of Naido as well. But how can Naido and Diane be original and tulpa? Doesn't the tulpa always look like the original? Cooper, DoppelCooper and Dougie all looked the same and the three Lois Duffy's also look...

She certainly appeared to be wearing something white, possibly a gown, that would indicate she's in some sort of medical or mental facility.

Lynch being Lynch I was afraid those pink-clad blondes were going to be subject to violence from them (don't shuffle this off to another thread, Big Ed! I'll just make that one point and move on), but instead we get them softheartedly reminding each other that Candie has "nowhere else to go&qu...

The Mitchem Brothers have certainly proved surprising. Still a bit hard for me to reconcile Cooper's "hearts of gold" assessment with their very first scene, in which they brutally beat that poor casino manager, but as Ragnell points out, this is certainly an example of Lynch and Frost pla...

Anyone notice the continuity error from the text that DoppleCoop sent Diane? Two different time stamps between cuts, one from an iMessage and one from a Text Message. Haha. Probably not relevant. Yes, I noticed and I immediately thought "Well, people will be posting that this has some incredib...

So maybe for all these years Cooper's tape recorder has really just been sending updates to the white lodge/mauve room. Tape recorder, magnetic tape, electrical energy. Who knows. Not sure why the Fireman would want to know what he ate for lunch everyday though. In any case, makes at least as much ...

Whoo. Okay. Wild! So: I'm assuming there was, once, a real Diane Evans, and that the Bad Dale raped her, took her to the convenience store (which seems to be a kind of floating waystation for Lodge beings, perhaps moving from place to place around the world - maybe that's why they called it "t...
