Never seen the show before so I have marathoned the entire thing up to the prior episode (and watched the latest one this morning). Absolutely fantastic so far. I genuinely enjoyed Fire Walk with Me coming off the end of season 2.

This show was not designed to be binged. My head hurts haha.

I don't think we'll ever learn who the "dreamer" is

Lynch is the dreamer.

It'll end with him eating a bowl of quinoa and winking at the camera.

When we first met green glove man way back in Part 2 (which, I agree with the poster above - is set after this scene chronologically), i could have sworn he had a thick european accent, but in this scene he's a proper geezer. I need to go back and check that. The band was playing so that could have made his accent difficult to hear.

He had the east-end accent then.

James: "Great place isn't it?"

Freddie: "Yeah, it's the dog's bollocks in 'ere."

Not mad on green glove guy, I think if you're viewing this in the states his accent might not stick out as overdone or whatever, but it kinda grated for me. The guy who plays him does different accents as a thing on YouTube, so I'm going to assume that Lynch told him to really ham it up.

The east-end accent is the first one he does here:

I was fine with it. Yes, it was hammed up a bit but it had an authenticity you don't get when Americans try a "British" accent.

As a Brit i'm a little disturbed by Lynch's use of Brit stereotypes (I'm a geezer! Red card/footie references!) but the Elephant Man is full of cockneys so makes sense I guess.

Great episode. The FBI agent losing his shit might have been the funniest thing all season.

Lissie! That was a nice surprise, I don't think I'd heard she was going to be involved.

God dayum that was a great episode. 3 of the 4 past episodes have arguably been the best of the season. Looks like the show is ratcheting up to end on a glorious high note.

Actually, the was the best episode of the season the more I think about it. Amazing from start to finish. 8, 11 and 13 have been topped :eek:

Pretty amazing when you consider that the episode had no Kyle Maclachlan (I'm not counting the archival footage or the short, wordless visions of Coop and Mr. C).

The show is pure fire
walk with me
right now.

I can't believe how good Grace Zabriski is in this. What a fucking talent.

Someone else mentioned it, but I could believe the other guy in jail is Billy; whoever he/it is has some serious issues- I thought he was going to channel a woodsman right there. Anyone else reminded of Bobby's crazy howling/barking in jail back in the original (with Mike, at James)? Not sure how I feel about Chad being down there too, I could see him causing some general fuckery.

And yeah the Roadhouse scene, definitely something going on with Tina's daughter not remembering if her uncle was there or not.

I think 'getting caught in a timeloop' is this season's 'my arm is shaking uncontrollably'

The only thing missing for me right now is Laura and Leland. I could be wrong, but I don't believe we've seen either since Episode 2, and Leland only had one line and like 10 seconds of screentime. I'm hoping for more Lee and Wise in these final 4 episodes.

Otherwise, Episode 12 aside, this season has been a fucking delight all the way through.

We had that strange glimpse of Laura outside Gordon's hotel room using footage from FWWM and the one in the bowling ball, but nothing newly shot.

Sitting on this for a week was agonising, especially since so much happened compared to episodes 12+13. I'm glad I can finally gush about it with everyone.

Thank you. I managed to avoid any and all spoilers, and that was only possible thanks to people not being dicks. I genuinely appreciate you and everyone else who kept things under wraps.
 
"Where are you from?"

"I'm from London Town"

For fuck's sake.

"I snapped his Gregory."

Imagine introducing a character into your series who has super powers in his right hand because he wears a poxy gardening glove with only 4 episodes remaining...
 
I'm seeing some terms thrown around with which I'm unfamiliar. Just so I'm clear: the experiment refers to the glass box specter? What about mother? Is that the entity in Sarah, or the woman in the other dimension who kissed the Laura orb?


If Sarah is the host of the frog monster, could she have been the one who caused Leland to be inhabited by BOB? Leland did say it happened when he was young, iirc

It was an image of the credit:
"I'm Memorium: David Bowie" which got everyone's minds racing.

Oh man, I'm glad I wasn't spoiled on that or I would have been disappointed by just having FWWM footage, because of my inevitable hype.

No, because one of us had the presence of mind to ask if this was old or new footage, precisely to avoid being hyped for nothing.

We were confirmed it was just old stuff.

We got hyped for like 10 minutes. Where we were still kind of assuming it couldn't be possible.

Oh, at least you guys did that then hahaha.

I'm still glad we got a bit of Bowie, and that he got an episode dedicated for him.

What an episode. Monica Belluci dream sequence is now literally Twin Peaks canon lol.

During the Sarah Palmer scene I knew the misogynistic red neck was going to get fucked up. Something is really wrong with Sarah, but I never knew she would take off her face and bite the neck off of someone haha.

I am getting a bit sad that this season is coming to an end soon. The whole thing has been a crazy wild ride.

Great ep, THIS is what I expected the whole season lol. Keeping expectations in check for next week, better to be pleasantly surprised.
 
Might as well post this image now that the scene has happened in the show:

This image made it into the excellent documentary 'David Lynch: The Art Life' (which I think is streaming on Amazon Prime).

Reddit loose transcript
What the F U C K - leave bowling alley - cram to a bar - (etc)
"(...) is on tube TV in livingroom. (...) now we enter the film and it becomes the reality. Cole has a dream of speaking with Monica Bellucci in a side walk cafe in Paris - they are discussing "We are like the dreamer who dreams - then lives inside the dream." and then Monica asks Cole "Who is the dreamer? Whose dream are we living in?" He says "Cooper was there with me but I couldn't see his face." (We see only the back of Cooper's (...) wearing his black suit.)

Vegas FBI guy "There's 20 matches on Douglas Jones"

why didn't Gordon also give his wife's name? That would have instantly narrowed it down.

I pray next week Cole and the gang get to talk to/confront Dougie.

was there not a scene earlier in the season that seemed to imply that Evil Coop is behind the glass box thing earlier in the season? or am I making that up in my head...

I haven't rewatched any episodes yet but plan on it after the entire season is over. Is there a good website that posts a meaty recap of each episode somewhere?
