Starchild July 11, 2017 Share July 11, 2017 I love that what seems like a silly throwaway scene between Andy and Lucy can have layers and angles within which people can read multiple interpretations. It underscores how much is going on in the bigger scenes. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3449185

It was like a space alien who idolized Felix Unger and wasn't sure how else to react. I thought that entire scene was GREAT. Sharing a cigarette is a somewhat intimate act - and what better way to express with minimal dialogue how Gordon and Diane have miles and miles of personal relationship and experiences which Tammy cannot begin to fathom? Tammy was the definitive third wheel in that scene. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3449872

Tammy was the definitive third wheel in that scene. The whole thing was awkward and funny and also oddly fascinating, especially seeing Gordon trying so hard to seem cool and in a bizarre way try to be somewhat flirtatious with Diane (I don't think Tammy was thrilled with that either). It was all very teenager-ish, and even in his late 60's Lynch somehow managed to pull that demeanor and attitude off. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3450040

Innuendo and inside jokes abounded. There's an entire universe of Gordon/Diane backstory to which we haven't been privy. More to the point, neither has Tammy - hip juts and supermodel pouts notwithstanding. :> 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3450122
Guest July 12, 2017 Share July 12, 2017 I have to give it up for Eric Edelstein who plays "Smiley" Fusco and his laugh. Every time he he does that ridiculous giggle I burst out laughing. I rewatched some of Mulholland Drive last night and was floored by how similar Naomi Watts is styled in the first half of that film as "Betty" as she does now as Janey-E. I'm wondering if there's some mystical connection between the two characters. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3450214

That whole scene was really beautifully staged, and of course it was another fakeout, but the inversion of the original scenes tells me this must be near the end of the line. I kept wondering when something was going to happen, and if something was coming out of (or going into) the electrical socket. if there was emotion there, I missed it. Not unusual. On 7/9/2017 at 9:14 PM, Pete Martell said: The scene where Tammy/Gordon/Diane were standing around outside, awkward, until Gordon took a smoke from Diane ("bad" Diane winning out in influence over "good" Tammy) was just perfect - a tableau of weirdness and a reminder that we're all perpetually 13 sometimes. That was the first scene where I fell asleep. I rewatched it, and I clearly don't understand this show because it seemed like filler. On 7/9/2017 at 9:14 PM, Pete Martell said: I also loved that Hawk wouldn't help that shitbag Chad with the door. That one I got. I just don't know why we watched it. On 7/9/2017 at 9:14 PM, Pete Martell said: There were a few bits here and there that didn't do much for me but overall I felt like this was probably the most Twin Peaks-ish of all 9 episodes so far. It reminded me a lot of season 1, actually. A certain hardness mixed with kindness mixed with goofiness. Agree there. I assume because we saw more of the TPs location.

Probably most accurate to say Kimmy Robertson is shorter 25 years later. Robertson was 35 when she first started playing Lucy Moran; she's 62 now, and it's a fact - as they grow older, people shrink. :) Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3453288

Pete Martell July 14, 2017 Share July 14, 2017 I usually enjoy these Vanity Fair "what you may have missed" recaps each week. This one mostly has stuff already discussed, but they also mention that Johnny Horne's first scene on the show involved him smashing his head against a wall in his dollhouse. That's a...gruesome thread to bring back all these years later. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/07/twin-peaks-episode-9-recap-easter-eggs-references-callbacks-red-shoes-penguin-zebra-jack-rabbits-palace 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3456913

Without moving his head he keeps looking at Diane, then at the cigarette, then back at Diane, then back at the cigarette, until she finally gives him a drag. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/59310-s03e09-the-return-part-9/page/2/#findComment-3457385
