Re: Speculation on how MIKE got the ring back in FWWM?

the meeting above the convenience store just looks hellish
During that scene, MFAP is trying to talk Bob down and fails, resulting in Bob escaping. It is hellish... there is pain and sorrow everywhere but it isn't enough for Bob (he's got, y'know, momentum).

Re: Speculation on how MIKE got the ring back in FWWM?

Hey, don't know why this didn't trip that orange indicator on my bar. Odd. Yeah, I kinda rushed through stuff I'd talked about before and I guess you couldn't read my mind. :) AXX°N N. was correct about those references. AA has a lot of sayings that revolve around the idea that (the illusion of) con...

Re: Funniest moment in the series

I really enjoy Lucy's rambling answers to questions, especially her solid recap of Invitation to Love: Sheriff Truman: Morning Lucy, what's going on? Lucy Moran: Er... thanks to Jade, Jared decided not to kill himself, and he's changed his will leaving the Towers to Jade instead of Emerald, but Emer...

Re: Why does he smash his head into the mirror?

Yeah, totally endorsed. I should have reversed the last sentence - "The only way to understand it all is to stay flexible." I agree that you start with the "vibe story" of the scene and work forward to fit the framework you are using to get context, and I just find it hardest to ...

Re: What is the most horrible translated German episode title (season 2)?

TV series have always had episode titles from the earliest days of television Apologies. What I meant was I'm old enough to have watched a lot of TV when there was no way to be aware of episode titles on many shows unless the shows hailed from the "teleplay" era or were legacy from that -...

Re: Why does he smash his head into the mirror?

The mirror-scene rather shows a man who completely lost his mind (crazy) than someone who is in anger, according to my interpretation that is. And, what kind of anger is expressed by spilling out all the toothpaste in the sink? It shows that Cooper is under the spell/in control/ of BOB, that's for ...

Re: Why does he smash his head into the mirror?

No longer sure what I'm answering. I'm of the mind that if there is a timeline change/quantum universe shift (a surprising number of deep Lynch thinkers seem to start talking about the many worlds solution to quantum mechanics as an analogue for Vedic philosophy) that it has to go back farther than ...

Re: The Ring

Well my biggest question is why does the ring cause Agent Desmond to disappear when touching it but Annie and the nurse and even Teresa Banks don't disappear obviously bad things happen when you touch the ring but was it just a coincidence that Desmond disappeared and not the norm for the ring? Thi...

Re: Why does he smash his head into the mirror?

I thought that guy was Evil Cooper / "COOPER" (in caps), i.e. Bob imitating Cooper, i.e. a doppelganger of Cooper. The good Cooper is stuck in the Black Lodge, and l think he leaves the Black Lodge only as implied in the end of Fire Walk With Me? Too literal. I actually think the tack of ...

Re: What is the most horrible translated German episode title (season 2)?

I went with The Night of the Decision due to it's odd choice of articles. The two "the"s are off (I focused on the word "translation " in the poll question). Should have been "A Night of Decision" or "Night of the Decision." Somehow the awkwardness of The Man ...

Re: Why does he smash his head into the mirror?

You have to think of this scene as a metaphor and from where Cooper is emotionally. He slams his head into the mirror because part of him is struggling to regain composure from the fear/anger that he lost control of when he faced Earle. He squeezes the toothpaste wastefully (old Dale rolls from the ...

Re: Speculation on how MIKE got the ring back in FWWM?

The symbology around this is extremely slippery, but if we try to give the ring timeline the old college try, It seems that Desmond reaches for it and disappears, followed by the MFAP presenting it and talking to Coop about it (where Coop says "Laura, don't take the ring"), then Laura havi...

Re: The Color Green in Lynch's Work

Thanks for the replies. Rewatched the pilot for TP yesterday, and noticed the green desktop and railings at the mill, and caught the bold red of the Briggs cabinets, but was surprised at how much yellow and light blue there was. They are probably the dominant indoor colors, with goldenrod especially...

Re: is there any other show that even comes close to your obsession with TP?

I find the last couple of Breaking Bad comments interesting in that they are pushing against the "mainstream internet critical" disdain for the ending. One factor people don't really talk about is how BB (and it's contemporary Mad Man), though they both occupy the same zone of TV history (...
