Yeah I was thinking Mike was the one who put it there.

Agreed, my first thought as well.
Side question: Anyone know the name of the tune that plays every time the "anxious" woman appeared?

Just watched the episode. Probably my favorite one so far, but it's probably because of Sharon Van Etten and "FUCK YOU, GENE KELLY, YOU MOTHERFUCKER".
This thread is going way too fast for me haha. I'll try to catch up to your theories and explanations.

From Angelo Badalamenti's Facebook:
Fantastic! Hopefully that's the first of many new compositions to come.

I think the main focus of the pole was actually on the numbers on the pole. If you notice there was no "7" on the pole and coop was rubbing the lucky 7 on the folders.
The pole had a large "6" on it.
I think there is some sort of countdown going on underneath our noses
I think this was my favourite episode so far. A great use of music here, I'm stoked Windswept isn't just a one-off because it's really good. Things are coming together now. I loved seeing Carl again, a lovely performance by Harry Dean Stanton and in what a way did he return, such a sad, beautiful scene. Really good Dougie scenes again too, I'm still loving them guys. Diane! And that fucking ice pick scene, whoo boy.
Only negative is the wait. I need more NOW.
Thanks for sharing this. I loved the new track, it completely made that scene.

There's some similar shots of electric poles in FWWM. So I assume it has more to do with the lodge inhabitants and their preferred method of travel.
It's the "New" Fat Trout Trailer Park to be fair, so it's not like it doesn't acknowledge the location change.
Wow, I didn't even recognize him. Holy shit. Been a long time since I've seen him in anything.

The Dougie scenes, while amazing, are really heartbreaking. Kyle's acting is so flawless, and I just feel so bad for Cooper.
Now comes the horrible realization that when Dern said she had a lot of scenes with Kyle, she was actually talking about Mr. C...
Didn't Leland tear those pages out?

Yes and I also feel bad for Jane and Sonny Jim. God, Naomi Watts is so good in this! Like one poster already said, everytime she mentions Sonny Jim by name I feel warm and happy inside.
Yeah, that's why I love them so much. Kyle is doing an incredible job, he has seriously exceeded my expectations and I've always loved him, and even the funny Dougie scenes just break my heart.
Thank you!

Kind of wish they used the original version of Muddy Magnolias American Woman when Janey-E took those casino henchman to task. She's a whole lot of grown ass American woman.
I enjoyed the Dougie stuff a lot more this week compared to last week. I'm not looking forward to when Cooper inevitably awakens and they Janey-E and Sonny Jim are left without a Dougie.
The pin to the Vegas safe was 1609. I rewound it to see if the number had anything to do with the other numbers that have came up but it doesn't seem to be.

The scene where the old man goes to comfort the mom as all the bystanders look on. That shit got me.
I also adore the melancholic tune we're getting with Dougie Coop

The Dougie stuff did show signs of progress this episode - Mike telling him to wake up, the horrific green suit being replaced with his classic black. He's getting there.
And of course, Hawk with (presumably) the diary pages. In Lynch we trust...
I got them more with Richard in last weeks episode.

I enjoy the dougie stuff a lot, and this episode probably had the best of it. I do think that him changing into his agent suit may mean that he will make the change to agent cooper on the same in show day.

That was a damn fine episode. The little ice-pick hitman is already an iconic character for me. I always suspected that Laura Dern was going to be Diane but I still let out a little gasp when she showed up.
Harry Dean Stanton is the shit, I'm so glad he came back.

Harry Dean Stanton looks so good and is still moving so well for someone who is closing in on 91 years old. What a legend.

The drug deal scene gave me Dennis Hopper Blue Velvet vibes. Lynch can really paint a fucked up individual.

Ahhhh ok. I haven't watched FWWM or the original series for a couple years now.

I doubt they have any inside info, though. They're making the same assumption that many of us are.
That was Windswept again, wasn't it?

So, like, Hawk is gonna see the diary entry that says Coop is in the Lodge, right? But Coop isn't in the Lodge anymore.

So then Coop gets a vision saying, "You have to go back to Twin Peaks and stop Hawk from entering the Black Lodge."
Coop goes back and something snaps him out of it. The Great Northern. The trees. The waterfall. Coffee and cherry pie at the Double R.
If nothing else, this will tip people off that the "Coop" that's been doing who-knows-what for the past 25 years is not the real Coop.
I totally agree with you. So far every single episode has been a real treat, there's action, comedy, horror and mystery and all with great actors, great sound, great music, great locations. It feels like everything Lynch has did in the past finally comes together in a unique way of pure cinema/film.

Agreed.
And weren't pages found by Hawk yellow, like those small memo pads you can find in every office? Laura's secret diary had white pages.

Even more creepy characters? Lynch is going all out this Season with the creepy/dangerous characters for sure.
Terrific episode. And that music from Angelo...bellissima.

First episode that I genuinely didn't enjoy. I think it has to do with the fact that I rewatched the first two seasons last week, and the pacing difference really struck me.
Every scene in Twin Peaks S1 and S2 (up until the murder was solved) felt significant, engaging and entertaining. This is because, even in non-plot relevant moments, the show had built up an immensely charismatic cast that was easy to become invested in, something S3 is largely devoid of.
S3's approach to death really rubs me the wrong way as well. For the vast majority of the original show, only a handful of characters died (Laura, Bernard, Jaques, Maddie, Hank, Leland), and every one of those apart from Bernard felt extremely significant and had real impact on both the overarching plot and the emotional states of the characters. In six episodes of The Return, we have a huge and almost totally insignificant body count. Could it pay off eventually? Sure, but the original show knew how to make every big event significant both in the moment and in the long term.
I think that the saddest possibility for Twin Peaks S3 is that people come to the same conclusion they did looking back on S2: That the show should have died when Leland did. Nothing after that had any impact. The Lodge is a mess, and the supernatural elements were only interesting when they existed on the periphery of a strong main storyline that was largely grounded in reality. S3 has no grounding, and I have a feeling that more and more people are going to drop off as this continues.

^^^^ People can't drop off because almost nobody is watching this already.

If you factor in streaming it's doing fine, isn't it?
Even if your cut-off point is ep. 9 of S2, I think the idea that every scene in every episode was significant is being extremely generous to the old seasons.
I think just the ring finger was reversed.
