I NEEEED AGENT COOPER

We're all dying for his return.
Spoiler:
Im convinced Lynch is straight up trolling with the Cooper stuff. I got a good laugh during the scene where he was drawing in the case files thinking about how annoyed you probably were. At least it looks like Cooper pretty much has to snap out of it next episode or hes getting straight wrecked by that midget lol.

An interesting train of thought that Sepinwall had about the case files scene in the office:

Spoiler:
Keith, there’s a moment late in last night’s episode that felt like the most meta thing David Lynch has ever written. Good Coop/Dougie has turned in a stack of paperwork — all, notably case files involving Tom Sizemore’s character — covered in pencil drawings of ladders, staircases, and more abstract scribbling, which understandably leave his boss, Bushnell Mullins, baffled and annoyed. But then Mullins keeps looking at the drawings, and looking at them some more — at a pace that threatens to rival the Lawrence of Arabia-length scene where we watched Dougie make them — until understanding dawns on his face, and he thanks Dougie, admitting, “You’ve certainly given me a lot to think about.”

Is this Lynch admitting that no matter how slow, impenetrable, self-indulgent or outright incoherent his work may be, there will always be critics and fans willing to stare at it long enough until they decide that there’s a method to the gibberish? Is the Mullins scene the closest he’ll come to saying, “Yes, I’m the emperor, but sometimes I’m just naked, and it’s okay for us all to admit it when it happens?”

This week on Twin Peaks,
Spoiler:
a random bar worker sweeps a floor for 5 straight minutes. If you think I'm kidding, just wait.


Why did I put that in a spoiler tag? I have no idea. It was meaningless. 5 minutes of nothing. Or was it?

Even if I criticized Lynch beforehand, ironically I didn't mind that scene.

Spoiler:
This episode finally had us going somewhere. Fine, let him have his fun.

It is the most David Lynch thing that has ever happened. I can't wait until you and Lamar have watched it so we can talk.

Spoiler:
I mean.. Can I even have a take on it? It was entertaining (for the most part) and I hope the series has a payoff in the long run. Still grappling with things like - the room above the convenience store was an important place for the bad guys of the Black Lodge. There was that convenience store in this episode..

btw, loved the Lynchian shot of the dark road ahead of the car.

Spoiler:
Is it possible to hate something and appreciated it the same time? I mean, watching that episode last night, I wanted to pull my eyeballs out of my head, especially the NIN song and the first 15 minutes of the insanity sequence. But, was I realized that he was going long with his insanity, I settled in and just went with the flow. I can definitely appreciate the balls it took to make something like that.

So many questions
- I guess that was the white lodge, where the essence of Laura was put into the orb, via the giant.
- Why was a Laura the yin to Bobs yang?
- The bug/frog, was that the Bob orb or the laura orb that went into the little girl? At first I assumed it was Bob, but later I thought it might have been Laura.
- Now that Bob has left bad Cooper, does that mean he'll immediate revert to good Cooper? Or does he have to go through some kind of Dougie phase where he's a near catatonic mess?

That far exceeded my wildest expectations. I can't believe how shook I am right now. Thats probably my favorite episode of the entire series.

For some reason, I thought that those spirits just resuscitated bad Cooper. Why do you think it was Bob leaving bad Cooper?

Hard to believe it was even a decision that needed to be thought about. I'm just curious to see if they wrap it up in season 5 or 6.

Spoiler:
Honestly, I don't remember. I do recall that Bob was visible like twice during the episode. Maybe at the time I saw it as him just being there, but not him leaving Coop.

Perhaps, you have better skills of retaining your attention. I like to think that I am really good at it (especially when I see all of my peers who just can't not touch their phone every other minute), but this episode did test me.

What? Why are you just watching that now? That's my most favorite miniseries. You should've watched that over the Memorial Day weekend.
