Thank you.
It's definitely that building. Google street view even has a view of the lobby and it's 100% the same.
I noticed in the credits that Becky (Shelly's daughter) and Steven have the same last name, Burnett. So I guess they're married! I thought I remembered Shelly saying in part 2 that they were dating, but I went back and listened to her dialogue and she says "My daughter's with the wrong guy". So it seems to be another Shelly/Leo young crappy marriage situation.
I'd have to say though that Steven reminds me of the young Bobby Briggs (but more drugged out), and Richard Horne reminds me of Leo (but even more horrible).

FWIW, that statue isn't there in the Google street view shots, so I'm sure it's something the film crew brought in. So who knows. There could well be some deep significance to this statue. For a prop statue it looks great.

That dude is a Horne then? God damn I can't believe Audrey would spawn such a devil.
Hes like Frank Booth 2.0, lynch did a great job finding a dead ringer for what looks like Dennis Hopper's son

Well, if he's a Horne there's good reason to suspect he isn't Audrey's... (presumably he'd have a different last name!)
But also, I really hope that Audrey didn't end up a single mum shortly after surviving the bank explosion, because judging from the guy's age and calling the girls sat near him babies that he's got to be close to 25.
I'm not saying it's not, I'm just saying I hope it's not. That's be a really tragic story for Audrey. Presumably scarred from the explosion. Ends up a single mum of an awful fucking child.
On Becky Burnett, being married to Steven, that means we can't presume who her Dad is yet either.

He could be Ben's or Jerry's, too. Remember it was all but confirmed that Donna was actually Ben's daughter. I think Eamon Farren bares a solid resemblance to David Patrick Kelly (Jerry).
FWIW he could be Ben, Jerry, or Audrey's son. Heck, or Johnny's. Or Sylvia's!
Actually, if he's a bastard child that Ben had with some girl from One Eyed Jack's, that could go a little way towards explaining his demeanor. Either that or Audrey's gone to a very dark place.

Until the show contradicts it, I'm going with Hepa being his mum.

It's been confirmed as a prop for the show.
Could be Jerry or Ben....maybe in some reality Johnny.
I feel pretty confident that Ray Wise will be back. Who knows....if BOB and DoppelCoop "separate" at some point, with no Frank Silva around, BOB may have use for the form of Leland Palmer again.
"Snake Eyes", the song from Part 5 performed by Riley Lynch's band Trouble, will be available soon as a 7" from Italians Do It Better (along with a B-side that did not appear in the episode): http://italiansdoitbetter.bigcartel.com/product/trouble-snake-eyes-7-inch

If it were Dougie, I'd just shrug and laugh.
Shelly desperately needs some friends who aren't all-the-way-terrible.
Seriously, 21st century Twin Peaks sounds like a fucking nightmare. I miss the quaint little town of Deer Meadow, where the crooked cops assaulted you with good bad puns and the most despicable villains would merely bend steel in your general direction.

I love that so far Dougie has learned the words "coffee", "agent" and "case files". The gun shape of his hand fascinates him. Maybe once he learns "Cherry pie", "cooper", "laura" or "Bob" he will finally wake up.

I think most people just want old Twin Peaks, but running on a fancy new game engine. But I'm glad that's not what we're getting. That being said, it's not what we're not getting either. As much as Lynch/Frost have full creative control and can do whatever they want, fans be damned, I don't think they are spitting in the face of those who want old Twin Peaks either. We're getting doses of both new and old, just a heavier dose of new. I think they're giving people a fair amount of campy old Twin Peaks sprinkled throughout this season so far. This episode in particular really feels like the closest we've gotten to old Twin Peaks with a new coat of paint. As much of an auteur Lynch is and as much carte blanche he has to do his show his way, I think he's making an effort to cater to fans as well without compromising his vision.
I don't really get what people mean when they say "nothing is happening! There is no old Twin Peaks!" in reaction to episode 5.
Really enjoyed that episode. I loved the way they did Bob. Creepy as hell. They did him justice. One of my favorite moments was Amanda Seyfried getting high af. Felt like classic Lynch. Bob jr in the bar gave me FWWM vibes. Really unsettled me. As much as I love that movie it fucked me up for days. I think I will feel like that at the end of this. I'm wondering if there are lodge inhabitants and dopplegangers running around. That could explain the drugged out woman saying 911 backwards. Maybe some inhabitants escaped along with dopple coop and Bob.
I can understand people being frustrated with Dougie stuff but I'm still digging it. It has this bittersweet feel to it. It's amusing seeing his Rainman act but it's sad to see Coop in this state. It makes sense to me though because he astral traveled through dimensions and has been stuck in some metaphysical hellhole. He's seen shit beyond comprehension. If he recovered quickly from an insane experience like that it would feel cheap. I hope they don't keep trying to play it up for laughs because it's actually a pretty fucked up situation.
Today I'm going to take shrooms and rewatch all the episodes. Call for help. I may or may not be turned into a golden marble.

I don't think he's catering to anyone personally, I think him and Frost love these characters too, and never really got to finish their stories. It's a mix of classic peaks, Fire Walk With Me, and something completely fresh, all presented without studio interference or network TV restrictions.
There's a page for the other soundtrack on Amazon now, but not yet available for pre-order: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072QDVWLZ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
On Facebook they're saying it features "Solo Waltz," "Laura Palmer's Theme," "Dark Moon Woods," and "The Red Room". I'm guessing "Dark Moon Woods" is a typo and should be "Dark Mood Woods," which appeared in Part 2. So far these are all compositions from the original series. Is this going to be a 2-disc "greatest hits" of the original soundtrack? Hoping at least one disc is new stuff from Angelo.
Edit: Actually, "Solo Waltz" may be a new composition.

Being from Argentina and living in Buenos Aires, I was surprised when I saw actual (stock?) footage of Buenos Aires. Compared to the "Argentina" hotel in FWWM which looks like it was filmed in Mexico lol.

I feel that a bit too but I also feel once we know the full story we can appreciate the journey too (hopefully lol).
You're unbelievably wrong.

Yeah that's what I mean basically. They're not necessarily going out of their way to shoehorn things for the fans. But what Lunch/Frost want and love about Twin Peaks is partly in sync with what the fans want and love from Twin Peaks. With the way season 2 ended, they could have easily just said "everyone died on their way back to their home planet." But they aren't the snobby auteurs who find themselves above the fandom. They genuinely love Twin Peaks.
Me too. This episode were really seeing how everything is gonna converge. Loving that we're still seeing the detectives in Buckhorn. And now the military is getting involved.

Haven't got around to watching episode 5 yet, am I right in assuming the "slow" Dougie/Cooper thing is still dragging on?
I mean, I couldn't disagree more.
The fact that everyone is treating him in this way, even his family, reflects even further the strange and surreal nature of this world. It's all very much intentional, and done quite well. It is slow, but it's slow by design.
The fact that we have a piece of media like this, that is willing to not only take time to bring its characters back around to us after 25 years, but also lengthen that process in an artistic and intriguing way, is a damn miracle of the medium in my opinion.
I don't fault you for not enjoying it, of course. But it is actually very, VERY good.

Huh... Interesting small thing. The Cigarette Pack is of a fictional brand named Morley: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morley_(cigarette)
But this seems to be a reference to X-Files specifically as the brand appeared and played a similar role to what it does in this scene as a scene in the X-Files.
How peculiar. That and the earlier scene with David Duchovny saying how nice it feels to just say the whole phrase, "Federal Bureau of Investigation" like his character Mulder does all the time on X-Files makes two references to it in this season so far.

Hmm these replies are so tasty. How dare anyone have criticisms of David Lynch. Top stuff guys.

To be fair, your initial post was pretty hostile.
"the only amazing thing about this show so far is that people have convinced themselves that it's genuinely amazing up to this point" is not a criticism of David Lynch.
A lot of people like this season, you don't. It's not a big deal. You don't need to act bent out of shape over it and accuse the many others enjoying the show of having some ulterior motive to this agenda, as if there's something you're being left out of. It is plainly not a normal show; that people are going to find it divisive and flat out not like it is totally normal.

absolutely fantastic, loved every minute, David Lynch cannot do filler, everything is valuable and precious on it's own, fantastic
I could easily tell my 15 year old self that it will take 20 years for another twin peaks season and it will be worth the wait
how do people know young mathew mcconaughey is richard horne? from the credits?

How transparent the trolling. Top stuff.
Ain't nothing tasty about it, you're free to dislike things but to say other people are convincing themselves into enjoying something here is a pretty disrespectful attitude to take. Maybe just recognize people are genuinely loving this and that you have a different opinion.
Hostile to other people here. Come on.

Yes. Also how we know Becky and Steven are married, and why we're so confused about all this Toad business.

Except you specifically targeted the people who are enjoying the TV show.
It's fine to have a different opinion, but when you start taking potshots at people, don't act indignant when people take shots back.

Exactly. I don't like Mad Men, but I don't accuse anyone who does of being deluded. People like different things. No one expects everyone to like what the new series of Twin Peaks is doing. It's different to the old show and anything else on TV right now, so opinions are going to vary.
But your inability to comprehend that people like different things, only speaks to your limited empathy, and says nothing of other people's opinions.
Oh man, I missed the Toad business. Toad was never the cook, was he? Right.
