The evolved arm, not Jerry's foot, Ike the Spike's hand, and Josie Knob are going to form a badass team to fight Doop. Let's rock.

A little kid was knocked down in a terrible hit and run but the Sheriff and two of his deputies are on a treasure hunt instead.
 
So the woman with the rash is also a drug user. I bet it's that stuff Red is dealing. Which seems likely to kill. I wonder if the rash is caused by it and if it's an indicator death is near. Will Becky get that rash?
 
I'm torn on this episode as some of the scenes I absolutely love, but others really irritated me. What they've done with Andy and Lucy is really grating in me and I'm not sure the change in tone for Hastings makes sense. Going by the stuff he says he should have been this manic from the jump but instead he plays dumb and then is angry with his wife.

Briggs scenes were great.

That's another city

What? No, the trailer park was shown to be outside Twin Peaks and they were said to be going into town. The intersection it happened at was also the same intersection from FWWM and the woman leaving the RR diner sees Horne driving away after.

There are other deputies. And the 'treasure hunt' is at a point of 'in two days lets go check this out'.

Sheriff's Offices can handle multiple things at once!
 
Something semi-related to Twin Peaks I just remembered: the actor who played Major Briggs also played Agent Scully's father on the X-Files. He was in the military on that show, too (I forget which branch).

Also (X-Files spoilers):
His character dies in the X-Files, and then in a later season, a man on death row acts as a medium and allows Scully to communicate with her father. (Or he may just be a con man pretending, that is argued about by Mulder and Scully in that episode)

The similarity in the characters is probably just due to type casting, but the plot similarity is a pretty cool coincidence.

He's also military on Stargate as well.

Don Davis just had that look.

What if BOB is a Goa'uld? It sort of fits.

That was a great X-Files episode as well.

Not only is Andy is investigating the hit and run, probably with other deputies, but hasn't it only been about two days? The killing happened in part 6, part 7 had the farmer missing his rendezvous with Andy what appeared to be the next day, part 8 was part 8. We know Part 9 was on 9/29, and it appears part 6 was on 9/27. So it's not like they've been neglecting the investigation.

Speaking of the Brennans: I saw some people saying that in Part 9 Lucy tricked Andy regarding the chair--I believe Sepinwall described it as a "duck season rabbit season" ploy. But I thought what happened was that Lucy wanted the beige, Andy wanted the red, then Andy conceded and agreed to the beige, only for Lucy to order the red one anyway. That's what happened, right?

I'm certain this was what happened

Yes, she's going to surprise Andy with the red chair to reward him for caving to her even though he didn't want the beige chair.
 
It wouldn't make any sense for Lucy to trick Andy. It would have to be the other way around. But I don't think there was any trickery. It was just both of them being nice to each other.

It's my favorite Lucy and Andy scene in the whole series.

The thing with the Richard/Andy subplot is Andy's watch actually reads the 10th........

That was actually all the same episode, IIRC.
He even appeared to her in a vision right after his death looking awfully like the White Lodge shot.

That was my take. Andy conceded and honestly wanted Lucy to order her preferred one. Lucy then had a sudden inspiration to do something nice for Andy and ordered the red.

I saw it as Andy conceding to Lucy because he realized arguing with her was pointless.

You're right, same episode, my memory was foggy. I just looked it up, Beyond the Sea from season 1. I should re-watch that sometime.

Ok cool that's what I'd thought had happened with the Brennan's chair until, like I said, I saw Sepinwall and I think one other writer describe it as Lucy tricking Andy somehow.

hm. it totally does. So...maybe the hit and run is already solved in the time period when Bobby, Truman and Hawk are searching for Cooper? I dunno. I wonder when--or if--this timeline will come together. Maybe Andy is just bad with setting his expensive rolex correctly!

I couldn't figure out why I was iffy about Bill's scene since I love Lillard's acting, and I think you nailed it. I looove "normal person pokes at the superiority of the endless cosmos and everything goes to hell" stories, like Windom, but I felt like it was a sharp turn from Bill's original characterization.

In his first scenes he was a lot more grounded than I had come to expect from a Twin Peaks character, and it made his seemingly senseless tragedy feel much more real than a lot of what's happened throughout the series, but now he's just another quirky weirdo who was traveling to other dimensions and shit.

I think it's the scene with his wife in the cell that screws it al up. It just seems like such a sharp turn because of that scene. Without that scene you can say he witnessed all of that but he was scared and was hoping it'd all just go away or something like that. But then the wife scene makes it seem like he has a more sinister aspext he's hiding. Almost harking back to the Packard/Horne stuff. But then this episode almost throws both of those to the wayside for something completely different. I loved the scene with his wife at first but it seems weird now.

Ehh I feel like it fits. He probably had enough sense not to mention stuff about other dimensions because it would make him seem unhinged. But now he's been in prison awhile and it's just turned him into a mess.
 
Ratings were up by 90,000 for the newest episode. Still the 41st Sunday show in terms of viewers but a notable improvement from being in the 90s for the last 2 episodes.
 
If you look at the verifiable images posted by pastrypantry and compare them to the unverifiable ones here you'll see that the vegetation is entirely different.

Yeah listening through the mix, it doesn't really feel like something anyone affiliated with the show would put together (though it's quite well done if someone quickly did this within the last day).

Yeah, seems like it is faked. I really want to know what's up with those coordinates though. Has no one else taken a look yet?

Listened to about twenty minutes of it. Yeah, it seems really fake. It's like a really bad rip off of a Godspeed You Black Emperor album. It kind of irks me actually because I am a big GYBE fan. Dumb fake shit.

Now you've got me imagining 35 minutes into part 10 we'd go to the roadhouse and the entire rest of the episode would be them playing Dead Flag Blues or Sleep.

I don't remember ever getting sinister vibes from him, but it's been awhile.

It makes sense, yeah, but it's still kind of disappointing.
