[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 285177, member: 8"] Two women in an office are brutally murdered by a short man but I have no idea who they are. I think it's related to gang stuff in Las Vegas which sort of connects with Dougie. "Dougie" sounds like the name of a - how do you call it - mentally challenged person? It brings the kind of unintentional emphasis that annoys me a little bit. It's almost as if he's supposed to be like this. What other excuse is there to name a newborn "Dougie"? There's some straightforward follow-up in the investigation of DOP and COOP and there's the missing pages with Annie's message. Like I had predicted after watching FWWM. The convoluted way to discover this information is ridiculous and intriguing at the same time, in other words: classic Twin Peaks. Things get a little bit more convoluted in episode 8 when it hints at the origin of the convenience store and how it's wired up to another strange place that looks like the space box from episode 3. I couldn't explain it if my life depended on it. There's a young/romantic couple in it and with all the bizarre events set in motion I wondered if the boy was Leland Palmer. But I think this is happening in New Mexico and the Palmers have been in Twin Peaks for a very long time, according to the trial regarding the death of Jaques Renault. Besides, Leland has already described how and when BOB entered his life. It looks more like a fanboy's fanfiction spin-off than something that is actually relevant to the story. It's almost as if it's trying to upstage the weirdness of the Black Lodge and it also creates the idea of a never-endingness. What stops them to create a source or theory [I]on top[/I] of all this? And then again and again. On the other hand I think it's downright hilarious to connect Laura Palmer's ordeal with such surreal epicness, or even a more realistic event like the nuclear bomb test. An over-the-top butterfly effect, as it were. Maybe there's more parody in it than it looks on the surface and at least [I]that[/I] would be in line with the overall narrative of Twin Peaks. The visuals are awesome and would certainly benefit from a theatrical screening. But I want to see more Twin Peaks characters so I demand full episodes dedicated to them: a full hour of watching Shelly putting on her lipstick (she can't decide which colour), a full hour of Heidi's non-stop giggling and a full hour of watching James sleeping.
