Thanks for putting that together.
Don't know much about how US tv actually works, but does this indicate the episodes will be more PG at that point? Less violence and swearing?

Definitely not.

Of course, figure it'd be convenient for me too. XD;
I think part of the reason they moved it up was GoT to be honest, though the change happens in August.
The episode titles for that set of episodes certainly has some implications to any fan of the series, that's for certain.
Oh wow ? 17 and 18 are airing together ?
Well, gonna have to prepare.
I'm happy they are, but at the same time as it's the series finale I'm sure there will be a LOT to process. I have no idea how this season is going to end right now.
On some channels, but Showtime is subscription only and unrated so there's no concern here.
Good point well made
I kinda missed all the pages with extensive theories about what's going on in Part 8, but there's something that's been on my mind since Part 1.
What if The Giant (aka ??????, in the credits) isn't talking backwards at all in the opening scene of the show? To me, it looks/sounds like he's pretending that he's talking backwards, by the way he enunciates and moves his mouth... but I don't think it's the real kind of backwards talk like The Arm, Mike, Laura, etc.
In Part 8, we see him again, this time with Senorita Dido, but also a big device that looks just like the one Naido (blind lady) flipped the switch on, in Part 3, with Cooper watching.
I'm not sure what to make of that, really... just curious what others think, or if it's already been explored.

As far as I can tell, Bob and American Girl are the only characters who didn't really talk backwards, which makes sense, because they're less experienced actors.
Evolution of the arm also doesn't talk backwards, but it's not even pretending, it just whispers in an cartoonish asthmatic snake voice.
The way ???????'s mouth moves makes it very clear that it's the real deal.
Are you claiming that American Girl's lines were overdubbed? Because her movements are certainly reversed.

I agree. I don't see Dougie at all, there. Dougie picks up his feet like he has a pickle up his ass. This shot shows Kyle walking slowly, but with purpose. It also looks like it's a tracking shot with the camera in front of the actors tracking backwards. Pretty common to have your actors cheat their walk and go slowly in shots like that in order to keep everything smooth.
Anyone think there's any chance we'll see or hear of/from Chester Desmond in S3? During the S3 break I watched The Missing Pieces for the first time and honestly I kind of miss old Chet.
With all the blue rose and Phillip Jeffries talk in the last few episodes before the break, it gives me hope he'll turn up at some point.

Oooh. That's an idea.
I mean, these things are either A: wrong, or B: the show won't tell us.
I don't think anyone is going to guess this stuff at this point, but as far as collecting things for head canon... should no one reveal how Dougie was made, this is a cool thing to think about.

My boss is about to start seasons 3 and is looking for a good recap. I've been skipping around the ones that come up in a search but none of it seems especially relevant to this season.
Any good videos summing up the mythology from the original series and FWWM? I feel like that would be most relevant. Something that includes The Man From Another Place saying he's The Arm maybe?

Well shit. I hadn't even considered that.

Agent Smith is coming for her.
The whole thing looked and sounded faked to me, but you might be right.
This one really has me stumped. If the speaking parts are reversed, the drawn out way of speaking (which sounds a lot like Frank Silva's method) and the way she moves do a damn fine job masking it, it seriously doesn't look any more natural played "backwards." She also doesn't trip up over even the trickiest sounds in some of the longest reversed sentences and looks much more natural when speaking than any other backwards talker on the new show. Other than that one shot where she quickly turns her head, there aren't any obvious giveaways.

Pre-ordered it too. I really love the fact that they haven't released the names of the tracks or the bands featured for the remaining tracks...yet. I love the mystery of it, it's also not much of a gamble for me because I think it's worth getting for the Au Revoir Simone track on vinyl alone.

Even if I miss the panel, I will be going to Friday's screening of episode 11.
I have not seen any of s3, so it will be Extra Lynch.

I just thought she is the only one in the new series who can do it properly. It was the first time the backwards talk didn't sound "faulty" and forced to me.

I felt that way with the first part, but haven't felt it that strongly again until this part.
Before Part 1 aired, I wasn't even sure when or where the first scene would take place. Mainly because of The Secret History, but it was a strong and tangible feeling. That went away after the first four parts (which I watched all at once). Sure I wasn't sure exactly where we'd go next, but it quickly narrowed down to a few key places, and all seemed to be happening at approximately the same time.
I doubt they'll pull another Part 8, but I think from here on out I'm never going to feel confident that I know where the next episode might take us. Part 8 pulled the rug out from under me as I'm sure everyone agrees.
Not showing teaser trailers is part of it too. Like, I enjoy Doctor Who, but it shows you where they're going next at the end of most every episode, so it's rarely surprising. This... we get nothing but one out of context line of dialogue.

Yep. For example I can imagine what's going to happen, in general terms, in the new Game of Thrones episode, but I can't say the same of Twin Peaks.
I don't know if it's going to continue the 50s story, or go back to Dugie or to Twin Peaks, or the hunt for the doppelCooper fugitive. I don't know if it's going to be serious and weird or light hearted. Hell, I don't know if maybe the doppelganger is going to lose powers once he lost BOB so Dugie is going to start recovering.

Carel Struycken did a very good in that opening scene.
Fun fact: that melody originally appeared back in 2007 as part of Track 7 on Lynch's album "Air Is On Fire." I can't find an upload of just that track and it feels weird to post a youtube link to the entire album, but it's, uh, around the 45 minute mark. >_>
Yeah, I guess I assumed it was faked because she sounds so much more natural than every other backwards talker on the new show.
Turns out Phoebe Augustine is the secret MVP who could have saved the red room. Welp.
I do like the way he sounds, but he does sound rather robotic. Red room speech used to have actual cadence, it wasn't just syl-la-ble af-ter syl-la-ble.

I've watched episode 8 four times now and I still don't like it.
Watching it for the fourth time this morning, however, has made it my most watched episode of the entire Twin Peaks series.
Yet I still don't like it.
So why have I watched it more than any other?
Weird.

Yeah, I get a real kick out of that. Makes me sound really hard doesn't it? A real tough guy!
What I mean is, I keep getting drawn back to it. And I keep thinking about it. I'm not watching it and cursing at the screen every second or anything like that.
I sit and I watch it. And when it ends I think "I didn't like that."
But then it comes back into my head. And then I think "I'll give it one more go".
I honestly can't get my head around it. Usually when I dislike something I forget about it and never bother with it again. But not this.
I dunno sounds like you just like it

Yeah. If I did this with food or some sex act I'd presume I'd like it.
Sounds like maybe you are intrigued by what it was saying but not how it was executed? I can see that

Perhaps the issue here is with your criteria for "liking" something.
If by "like" you mean something that you find pleasurable, palatable, and entertaining, then I can understand why you don't "like" episode 8.
I don't "like" episode 8 either, in that sense. It's not "fun" to watch. It's discordant and slow and creepy and unnerving. It conjures a lot of emotions that we don't usually associate with "like."
But it is fascinating. Maybe that's why you're continually drawn to it.
I've had sex with a dude four times, but I still don't like it. Weird. #TotalHetero

So throughout the last month I managed to finally finish season 2; I have watched the first 9 or so episodes years ago and just couldn't get myself to finish it due to the dip in quality and me having tons of shows that I needed to get to. Now that I've finished it...damn that finale was crazy. I can't exactly call it a terrible season - 40% of it is great but the middle part after the reveal is just boring and drags for too long. Not surprised that many people hated season 2 (especially compared to S1 which I watched twice).
I skipped Fire Walk with Me cause I just couldn't wait any longer to start the new season, and I also heard that it's bad (or half of it at least?). I did watch a "recap" though. Will probably get it & the missing pieces soon. Anyway...
I absolutely love the new season from the get go. binged all 8 episodes in a week, but I just wish I experienced part 8 w/o hearing all the buzz about it, since that prepared me a bit but still...I feel like it's the closest thing we'll get to a new "Lynch feature film", with elements from Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr. and Eraserhead. I hope we get another episode or two like part 8.

Not long until we get the proper Cooper back everyone!
Hopefully
Setting myself up for disappointment, I'm loving the Dougie story so far

Only one more sleep until the return of the return!
Will we go back to the present day, resume the 1950s story, or something completely different? Maybe we'll have a Lewis and Clark episode.

Then you made a mistake. You should love FWWM.
i really recommend it, IMO totally sets up the tone for season 3.
and besides, it's like a 90 min movie. not much of an investment
