I think someone shared a couple of timestamps from the first two episodes in the other thread. During one scene in those episodes, I definitely saw a bizarre looking face appear for just a moment. Believe it was in a shot of Bill Hastings' wife at her home... Right in the center of the screen, largeish and hard to miss.
Saw it the first night and made a note to look for it again later... Then saw other people discussing things that had appeared for only a few frames. Think it's been done at least twice.

You're trolling.
Maybe I was completely hallucinating, but I'm pretty sure about seeing something like that. Similar to the spooky subliminal stuff in The Exorcist.
What would be the point of BSing anyone about something so trivial?
I posted this yesterday, but apparently I didn't post this successfully yesterday.
I'm surprised more people haven't discussed the Sonny Jim scene at breakfast. Or maybe you have. It really reminded me of interactions between Cooper and the dwarf in the Black Lodge. The positioning of the chairs, the seating arrangement, the shape of the kid's face and hairstyle, the pouring of gloopy syrup on Cooper's pancakes, the coffee, the shuffly music, the colour of the kid's top, the way the kid was smiling, Cooper's confusion. So many aspects seem to be being channelled. I'm not suggesting their is any major significance, but all the same I thought it was quite cool. All that could have been done to make it more obvious would be Watts planting a kiss on his cheek.

Hmmm, I hadn't thought about Sunny being a substitute for the Little Man... They did have him represent the waiter with the thumbs up. I did take it as a representation of Cooper in his most perfect, content place... great Northern having breakfast.
Did we comment that Bad Cooper had his tape recorder when playing his recording to Daria?

On a side note to this, I have to say that in my wild imagination, when I first saw the cast list, I had the kid (Pierre Gagnon) very high in my list of potential "successors" for TMFAP. I didn't thought at the time of the obvious possibility of a weird tree with the talking thingy on top.
Some people noticed that when Coop meets Sonny Jim upstairs, before having breakfast, Coop touches his stomach where he was shot and the kid answers with a thumbs up, which is a moment that truly feels as if the kid were a member of the Lodges.

Nudity/sex > felt pretty natural to me, unlike for example with GoT.
Do you have any theories why the entity appeared, attacked and killed when the 'kids' were having sex?
I have a far out theory- that the entity is actually the spirit of Annie Blackburn, who may have been sexually frustrated and repressed from her time in the convent.
Personally, I would say that the ghost is the blind women Cooper met after falling moments after being in the glass box. I guess glass box is some kind of Project Blue Book experiment created to capture ghost/entities from Black Lodge/Shadow Universe.
In episode 3, the blind woman moves her hands like they were sharp swords in a way that seems she wants to warn Cooper of something.
After, she climbs a ladder, flip a switch and after being hit by electricity we see her falling in to the void like Cooper did few scenes before!
Probably, the ghost is an evil entity who feed on sex and fear as Bob does. In fact, both guys were a bit scared about the disappeared guard and eerie situation but this clearly doesn't stop them from having a little fun. Or she's a simply scared soul because is blind and suddenly lands up in a different reality. Don't know if the ghost is the blind woman,the "mother knocking at the door" or someone else, but I'm pretty sure this ghost came from the same place where Cooper met the blind woman and Ronette look-alike.

Ah yes, I clocked that bit too. Except I was thinking he was touching his stomach because of the stab wound that was inflicted on him in the Lodge.

Do you think it might be Josie Packard? She appears to be Chinese in your stills ... kind of. Also, pretty sure i saw Josie wearing a dress like that.
Actually maybe not, this is the nearest fit l can find for Josie's dress in the original series:
leeeET's ROCK!
