Initial reaction: This was overall the least satisfied I've been with an episode since Part 4. Not a bad hour by any stretch, but it spent way too much time telling rather than showing, particularly disappointing after the glorious Part 8. I think it might improve on rewatches once I've adjusted my expectations slightly.
Agree very much.

He just keeps getting better. He's basically playing Professor Calculus half the time but he makes it work.

I know everyone is sick of the subject, but I feel ever more convinced that we're going to see Bowie, even if it is fleeting CGI footage like with Don Davis. Jeffries is hanging over this thing like a cloud and I don't believe we're getting a recast. Even if it's just twenty seconds of workmanlike CGI, I'll bet it happens.

Somebody mentioned the possibility, and I wonder if there's something to it, that Cooper might decide to continue being "Dougie" if and when he regains full control of his faculties. Not that I think he'd pretend not to have remembered who he is, but rather that he might - once he's done whatever he can to thwart DoppelCooper and any other Black Lodge types - decide not to return to the FBI or stay in Twin Peaks. Not only is he likely to feel a lot of guilt and trauma over everything that's happened, but I wonder if he'd also feel like he owes something to Janey-E and Jim, and he might have hoped to have a family some day back before the events of the original series turned his life completely upside-down.
I've wondered if this could be the result as well but I would not be a fan... No FBI? Fine I guess but I'd at least like him to return to Twin Peaks. All though 2/3 people most important to him there are gone.. :cry:
I think he'll go back to the town. I just mean that he might not end up staying there once he's done whatever he needs to do. In the original series he was seemingly thinking about buying property there because he'd become so fond of the place. Now, it might just be too many unpleasant reminders.
Its either off into the sunset with Dougie's family, or a heroic death for Coop. I think he'll make it out of the Lodge a second time but that's about it.

Does Briggs' note suggest that Lynch's RABBITS is somehow be tied to the TP universe, considering that Scott Coffey (Jack Rabbit) is on the cast list and has yet to be seen?

Wasn't 2:53 when DoppleCoop/Bob was being pulled back into the lodge, just before the car wreck?

Our first recast (Johnny #3). And poor Sylvia!! She pops up and doesn't even show her face! And no, I don't think that was supposed to be the GH. So either they no longer live at the Hotel, or maybe Johnny is in a facility?

Also, who is the "Harry" mentioned in this scene!?
She says "Mary" in the subtitles.

I'm racking my brain of Twin Peaks trivia and trying to figure out the significance of the red shoes he fixates on. All I can come up with was Lill, but that doesn't seem to fit.

Anyone got anything else?

I though it was an Audrey memory -- not really the shoes but the skirt + shoes plus the walk.

SF didn't sign on late, DL signed her on late. It didn't turn out to be a starring role because that's how it was written.

ps I thought red pumps are just Coop's "male gaze" activating. Lots of ladies own em for just that reason!

I liked it a lot more but I agree with regards to Hastings' dialogue. That scene seemed a real Mark Frost creation.

Just love how everything is tying together.
Almost... 3 Coopers there.

[edit: I guess the readout from the capsule could have been different though and included to indicate he 2 Coopers]
Actually if you go back and look at the season 2 footage, there are at least two Coopers that continue off the page. It's hard to see because Briggs's finger obscures it. The capsule was blown up and cuts off after the second.

I don't think that's true. IIRC, she threw a very public social media tantrum after filming was well underway saying she was turning the show down because Hollywood doesn't give meaty roles to older females. I believe people who were in the know said that Audrey/Sherilyn was supposed to shoot in Washington, but didn't because she held out on signing.

With EvilCoop heading for somewhere, coupled with all the other exposition in the episode, it already feels like the dark clouds are gathering. And we still have nine hours left. Excellent.
