Great, thanksmaster468 wrote:It's Shawn Colvin.MysteryMan14 wrote:I've got a stupid question but who's singing this cover of Viva Las Vegas?
I'm of the mind that you can't really put that song in anything and not recognize the schlock of it, so I think they partially placed it there with a knowing wink.NEL wrote:I really loved the episode, and I found the ending to be surprisingnly emotional
I don't post much, but I spend some time on this forum every day during the week reading your theories and observations to wait for each new episode, but... am I the only one who thought the cover of Elvis' Viva Las Vegas was terrible and didn't fit at all in the show ? I Don't think I've seen any post about it, but I think that was the only flaw of that episode
This is good. In part 2, Roger talks with Mr. Todd.jakemartinez wrote:At first I thought Diane was a doppleganger, but it doesn't make sense with the way she acted in the jail cell and was like "Who are you?"
My second guess is that Mr. C has power over her and can possess her or control her to do things at his will. He took advantage of her that night and now she can't escape... I am hoping that by the end of this story they save Diane and defeat Mr. C... at whatever it takes!
I love this story so much - this is my favorite movie/TV ever right after Buffy... and that says a lot!
LateReg wrote:I agree. But I must say that as far as emotions are concerned, the final scene of Part 11 had me reeling. It was powerful and unexpected and operated at a level that most things don't, in that it had me all at once on the edge of my seat with a huge smile on my face and tears in my eyes...longing for the return. A friend of mine said you have to actively want it (the return) to be fully engaged with this, at the same time you're willing to be taken wherever Lynch/Frost take you. That scene so far is the culmination of that.Mr. Reindeer wrote:I agree wholeheartedly with all of this. I also agree with the poster below who noted that DougieCoop is the emotional core of the show; but as charming and beautiful as I have found much of that storyline, it doesn't compare to the powerful mixture of suffering, pain, love and (sometimes) redemption we've gotten from all of DKL's major works from FWWM on. Outside of the Dougie scenes, TPTR seems almost aggressively focused on narrative/mythology (and shaggy-dog asides), at least when compared to most of DKL's other "recent" works (ironic since many viewers feel there's been little plot movement). In the original show, the mythology worked at its best when it was in service of showing Laura's pain and the terror and sadness caused by her death. I hope when all is said and done, all of the new developments end up saying something similarly complex and personal about Dale, and about all of us.firefly2193 wrote:I think you're criticism comes from literally the opposite place to mine. I want the return to be MORE Lynchian in the sense that I know it - his work since FWWM onwards have been deep character studies exploring subjects who have suffered deep trauma and their subjective experience of reality thereafter...
No, you are not. It was awful.NEL wrote:... am I the only one who thought the cover of Elvis' Viva Las Vegas was terrible and didn't fit at all in the show ? I Don't think I've seen any post about it, but I think that was the only flaw of that episode
I'm familiar with the song from being played during closing credits of "The Big Lebwoski," which film came out around the time that I was a Colvin fan and adored it for that use. Here, in Part 11 it did feel like an odd choice; plus, the way it got cut off sharply seemed sudden and jarring.

My first thought was to speculate about mundane reasons this could have made it in... But we've already been faked out once before about a "flip" that actually WAS story-related (see: Cooper's fingerprints).wxray wrote:And editors are just way too fast in flipping scenes for whatever feel or framing they want. For example, the flipped airplane view a few parts back with the reverse writing. I guess it is so easy to do in digital editing.referendum wrote:@sylvia north
there are a ton of examples of shots being re-used twice, lines of dialogue or camera set ups hand gestures or partial scenes repeated etc.Twin Peaks 2017 group on Facebook found this - did a search here, didn't know if it'd been caught here or no. Three minutes apart, Diane's POV is flipped
this because Twin Peaks is not '' reality'' it is a '' representation''.
it does not have to obey documentary law.
I guess I'll add the sarcasm tag next time I am being sarcastic.Snailhead wrote:There are things about the new series that I'm not fully into, however the palm tree doesn't bother me in the slightest. Seems like an odd thing to be bothered by.
I thought he was just seeing more because one had to be standing in a very specific spot to do so. (Where Hastings went, "15 or 20 feet" beyond the fence, or something like that.)Jerry Horne wrote:Is Cole seeing more things than other people due to the electricity in his hearing device?
With his hands reaching out by the house, Cole reminded me of the One Armed Man inside the Red Room.

Yes, agreed. And I view that as Lynch's intention. It's so head-scratching that it's both beautiful and awful and mystifying at once. I've noticed a lot of this hodge-podge effect here and there throughout the series (such as Lorraine's hip-hop song!) and I think it's all part of the insanity.Framed_Angel wrote:I'm familiar with the song from being played during closing credits of "The Big Lebwoski," which film came out around the time that I was a Colvin fan and adored it for that use.
