Affogato

I saw someone on the subway this morning who looked like Duncan Todd. Black baseball hat, black shirt, almost a members only jacket. Probably going to a job in the service industry. Also a Sontaran who had let himself go to hell. Its the morning after. Ill need to wach again, later today before I can form a coherent response I get involved in small parts of this show and then in the next part and it all seems episodic. Episode 17 was the end of the world as we know it I'm pretty clear the Audrey we watched live in the new world, which isn't our world because Cooper and 'Laura' drove by the RR diner. I think the roadhouse is a gateway but not sure it is important No one here has mentioned the dead man in faux Laura's house. Violence is still with them.

I think we were meant to see the difference between that scene and dougie' sex scene. When she sees herself leaving? She stays to figure out if she can stay?

I want these moments every week. I've enjoyed this forum and will miss it. I've enjoyed typing to everyone!

The bits of people's lives you overhear in a bar! But we met Richard Horne in the bar and saw more of him. Saw Shelly first as a glimpse in a bar. They are part of the real fabric of the town than what happens in a box. May or may not be meta. Probably means Audrey is not in a coma? Im not sure I have all the clues I need.

I get it, it is fictional. Still so much of it is a system that is a set up for Veronica if Jason dohring played the titular role would there be a problem? No just teenage Travis McGee here! It is so unusual to find a show where all of the men in the show tell a young woman what is wrong about her behavior and how she should listen to them. Refreshing! Usually young women are allowed to take risks and learn from their mistakes and are praised for their willingness to act decisively, with assurance and agency and independence. I wonder if there could be a hidden something hinted at in these exchanges? Is Veronica not the beneficiary of truly benevolent advice? Cannot be! oh the characters are different Keith is the good patriarchy and lamb the bad . If Logan truly believed Veronica was as strong as a man he'd have to admit his mom could have taken him and left Aaron. I have no issues with Wallace, who is adorable i just rewatched the twin peaks pilot. Doc haywards response to Donna's running away to see James after curfew showed so much respect and trust. Damn. Keith was not the best dad on tv.?

I think Bradbury was the best, a truly great short story writer! Less with the novels, I think. In some ways, like in F. 451, a better futurist, or at least as good as the others. He got a lot right, he just didn't like it.

Well mike could also be making a deal with Dale. Dale leaves the family to fight bad Cooper and get the lodge on track with Bob and mike makes a new Dougie. Still I think there is some hint of understanding in their interaction, some closeness..

The Bookhouse Boys Reading Hour Travel Light, Travel your Mind with Jerry Horne

Good Cooper was in there 25 years. I get the impression he is friends with the one armed man but not the disembodied arm.

"Rubber Fist"

Chantal and Hutch, the early years? Bobby and Shelly, anatomy of a marriage? Anything, really.

The Diane thing is confusing. Tulpas, according to Wikipedia (anyway) don't have to look like their originator and Naido could be a tulpa of the soul, even a piece of Diane torn off at the time of her death during the rape. Some of that stuff we saw leaving the hit and run victim. That would make the tulpa that looked like her frantic since she would remember dying and might explain why Naido is so strange. Remembering that mr C wanted bureau news and may have made the Tulpa Diane to feed him that news. He may not have planned to kill Diane. That may be why she quit the FBI, in the end she was strong willed and could defy him to some extent. Staying away from the FBI is passive, I'm sure the drugs helped her stay away even if that was her purpose. Diane talking about how happy she was to see Cooper broke my heart. What place is he looking for? It does sound like the entrance to Garland's pocket universe since the coordinates showed up on Ruth's arm. Or Garlands arm. You know, that arm with the coordinates. Yeah, I'm pretty sure on second viewing that the hair/seed is replacing Dale in Janey-e's arms. I'm also sure that dad could drive and play catch. I don't know what I was thinking. I believe he left the ring under the pillow. I don't think he plans on returning to the lodge. Although the ring has a way of showing up where it is needed. I think. Maybe.

It has been mentioned that Logan wasn't a major character as the show started, only meant to be in one or two episodes, and I think it took them a while to figure out how to write him into the story as a bigger character. One who is having a mostly one sided hugely romanticized in his head storyline. Veronica never learns the half of it, I expect.

I really want law enforcement to communicate via fashion cues. Love Lil.

I'll go check..

Also puzzled. There is something about shadowself. You meet and conquer your shadowself in the lodge on your way to perfection. 2nd season? I think dark coop is Cooper's shadowself and they will meet and, to borrow a phrase, there can be only one. I think this is where he/they are headed. The spacial contraption could be a gigantic dictating machine. But I digress. I think albert's blue rose story indicates a tulpa could be a shadow self. However there are also manufactured beings. Maybe those are the tulpas exclusively and the blue rose story was about one of the fakes. Maybe naido is Diane's shadow self, much altered by sound waves. Diane herself is elsewhere, maybe in that dimension where garland was, and the constructed one we just saw go poof was just that, set into place along with dougie by dark Cooper. The ring is a puzzler. Is coop to put the ring on dark Cooper or defend himself from bob?

I really think he stayed dougie for so long because something in him did don't want to wake up. We saw him waver at the edge for a long NGOs time. He has a son, coffee and cherry pie, after all. Also so there's that saliva bubble story, which would support that idea. However I can see him having no choice.

This is still possible. If we go back to the dutchmans we may see a flash of his face.

I also think it is possible we'll have alternate universe endings.

There is going to be the possibility of a sequel or continuation because, like the Bene Gesserit, Lynch understands the importance of an open ended system. I don't mean there will be a sequel. I mean whenever it ends the story will have one foot raised, taking the next step. I felt at the beginning of season two Cooper was ready to retire and fish with Harry. I think him him wanting to be with his family is plausible.

I'm assuming Richard was fried in a trap only the cooper DNA could set off. A very specific trap. Dark Cooper is a user. Also means good Cooper can survive by sacrificing a manufactured clone/Tulpa at some point or by convincing dark Cooper to take the 'wrong' door. The red door image is to me possibly significant. Dark Cooper wants to avoid the red room . Why would Naido look nothing like Diane? White duke's tin machine changes a woman! For a moment I wondered if Lucy was Diane.

Or pregnant, choosing food over torture. Best not delve too deeply......

Every person carries so much history. Richard Horne is a monster but also so much lost potential. It is communicated emotionally but with ....common stories and characters have endings and middles and special hats so you can recognize them and once you figure them out you just watch them play out. Lynch's characters are all born with the pieces to change and grow.!

I'm without words allow me to explain at length...? Um .... "I am the FBI" wow, a series of moments. "dad can drive good." i liked that.he armed himself. Audrey showed the sexuality I remember from the first season in her dance. But. I guess she is waking up from a coma. Where is the real Diane?

Bushnell mullins has unexpected wisdom and people keep him in the loop. I'd pair him with Hawk.
