I honestly thought Tom Sizemore had died. I check imdb and learn that he's been in 800 b-movies these last few years. Good for him.

So is another episode out this weekend or is this the weekend it skips?

If that's the case, then Lynch might pull off a bigger "fuck you" to the fans than Kojima could have ever dreamed of with his Raiden stunt.

I get wanting Coop back because I really miss his presence in this show for sure as well, especially amongst the ppl of twin peaks
But at the same time I've enjoyed all of Dougies scenes so far. Also the total obliviousness to his lack of well being is funny too.

There's a couple of shots in the promo vids that appeared before the premiere, including one with Coop driving a car, that we haven't seen yet. I reckon 'mid season finale' point, around the week off for getting Coop back.
How long was Briggs out of it following his trip to the White Lodge?
Ultimately, this is all leading to a Good Coop/Bad Coop showdown, I don't think they'll be able to do that in the space of one episode.
I have a feeling they won't physically confront each other. It will be something more abstract.

Pretty sure he was just referring to Doppelganger Cooper's quote from episode 1 or 2.

Agreed - it'll be something lodge-based I presume. But Cooper can't stay braindead for it surely?

Dougie Cooper will beat Mr C. in a battle to the death (only) because of his crazy luck and then becomes Agent Dale Cooper again. But I'm guessing that's like 8 to 10 episodes from now.
I have a love hate relationship with real coop. On one hand I find some of the scenes hilarious, but it's kinda dragging out, and I'm not quite buying it. Wouldn't all of you call 911 if you saw someone at work behaving like that? I know Dougie supposedly have days where he behave strangely, but come on, lol.

are we really expecting people to behave as they would in real life in a David Lynch show tho? his stuff has almost always operated in their own twisted reality.

Episode 5 has been the worst of the bunch for me. So many boring scenes. The Jacoby radio speech, Shelley's daughter and her nobhead bloke, prolonged Dougie scenes, cars driving by looking at a car - if you want real Coop dead so bad and still think he's in that house why not just go in and kill him? Why keep waiting for him to get into the car?
The sheriff scene with his wife was good. The "cow jumped over the moon" scene and mirror scenes were good. That's about it.
Oh and the autopsy lady. She's good, I like her.

Well it's not like Lynch ever promised you'd get old Coop back.
Kojima straight up doctored footage to put Snake in places where you play as Raiden.

I trust Lynch to know exactly how to play with the audiences expectations and how much cooper is good for us and the plot so he won't overstay his welcome. I enjoy MacLachlan as Doppelgänger and Dougie so far. No rush needed from me.
I trust Lynch, it's like he took me in his arms and is keeping me safe. He knows what's best for me.

I believe Booper has to go back into the black lodge before Cooper is all the way back, and that him overstaying his welcome is what is making Cooper not fully functional.

I believe this is part of Lynch/Frosts satire of modern drama shows.

He finally regains full consciousness, flashes a thumb up, and then end credits roll over a freeze frame of said thumb for the 18th episode.
😂
BTW the way the car bomb was done was so amateurish, like it was some corny trick photography effects from the silent film era or something

Has it been discussed how Tamara has a photo of Coop in the lodge? Cos that makes no sense at first glance.
Poor Brett Gelman!
I understood that reference.
I think that's The Great Northern, actually.
Oh, wait, that might be right.

It's not in the lodge it's in the Sherrif station
The guy at Dougie's work meeting who tries the green tea latte gave my favorite performance of the episode.
His reaction is amazing. He's so happy that it's good.
Really? He just seemed like a generic mobster to me.
Now the dude at the Bang Bang Bar who is smoking the cigarette is a classic Lynch sociopath.

Please, don't compare Lynch to Kojima, for any reason.
Friendly reminder that I was shitting on everybody calling evil Cooper "bob" because they are two distinct entities.
The fact that I was wrong about Bob being permanently with Cooper is something else.
The reason I didn't think he was (I never said he couldn't be using Cooper as vessel from time to time), is that Bob could already leave and possess people before Cooper, so it felt like a step backward for him to be stuck within one body.
But Evil Cooper had to "check" if Bob was around, and couldn't actually feel him, so who knows how that really works. They probably will keep it 1:1 for the sake of convenience, so that when they kill off evil Cooper, they don't have to show Silva (circumventing his death) and just kill off Bob at the same time.

Ahh. Ok.
Alternate take: Sheriff's wife is the best actress
Last minute of the season finale.
I thought her performance was perfect slightly off classic Lynch character. Foster's calm face was terrifically subtle performance reacting to her too.

God damn this show is so dense. So little actually happens, but sooooo much happens.
Are you kidding? She was hilarious.

I thought it was easily the worst scene of the new season so far. It was just too cartoonish and bad.
Don Draper's Hat
Member
More cartoonish and bad than Lucy not knowing about mobile phones? Or that whole chocolate bunny debacle?
The thing I think people need to prepare themselves for, when/if "real" Coop comes back, is that he very likely isn't going to resemble the wide-eyed, optimistic Coop of 1991. This is a man who has seen and experienced some shit in the last 25 years. He's likely to come out a more introspective, introverted person.
Also, upon reflection, I think I have quite possibly liked each new episode more than the last so far this season. That's damn good!
RepairmanJack
Member
In the acting? Yes. Writing, not so much. The chocolate part seems 100% in character, but I didn't really like the cell phone or thermostat thing because Lucy was never that dumb. With the wife her acting was just so over the top and cartoonish that what she said almost didn't even matter because it was so crazy.

Judging from his current state, he's still going to be wide eyed and enthusiastic, even if he's less optimistic.

I could also see Coop as not remember everything from the Black Lodge. He didn't remember all of his dream right away.
I can't see him being anything else whenever he comes in contact with Cole again.

Well, the show kinda made it seem like he's been in stasis for a pretty long time. For all we know, he might have experienced far less shit than literally every other living human being over those 25 years. The shit he's seen was certainly weird, we just have no way of measuring the shit.

I don't exactly have a problem with it taking a while for Coop to come back (assuming he does), but the slow pace of the show combined with waiting a week between episodes kind of makes it more frustrating than it would be otherwise. I sort of wish I did what I originally planned to do and just waited until all eighteen episodes were released.
If only we had a gold shit-weighing scale!
Nah he's right, she was legit bad. Thank god we had Robert Forster in that scene too, he saved it.

I'm not sure what was worse - the sheriff's wife's acting, or the car bomb "explosion".
Just finished Episode 5. For me, it was a weak episode (especially considering how 4 ended). But on the plus side finally finding out what Jacoby wanted those shovels for was worth it... and more Jerry Horne!

The car bomb was so bad it was hilarious. The guy in the front seat just disappears. lmao
The bodies are on the ground, they didn't disappear.
RepairmanJack

Well yeah, that was obviously the intent. But there was one guy in the seat and two outside the care, but then when it blows up there is no one in the front seat and two bodies on the ground in an instant.
It was just hilariously bad and it was funny for the guy in the front seat to apparently just slump to the ground after an explosion from behind him.
