Do we know who Linda is yet? I honestly cant remember.
That one and Honking Lady '' What are you doing, we are already late .... we need to go home'' are one of the most funniest scenes in all of Twin Peaks.
No it's not.

Around half with others you didn't mention. As content as I am with watching Game of Thrones week to week along with other shows, I'm obsessed with Twin Peaks and the wait between episodes is excruciating. Yeah, I pass the time but my mind has been constantly looking towards Sundays. The catch is that once it's over, it's over. There is going to be a large void I have to fill after the show ends. Luckily, it's almost horror movie season.
It did have 2 dates, 10/1 and 10/2, I've been thinking it was an either/or deal but I like the idea that they should go both days, or at least someone will be going the second day that we'll get to see.
So after Episode 14 I've come to the conclusion that, in my opinion, the series isn't bad, it's just a rollercoaster of quality whose highs are not high enough and frequent enough to justify the lows.
12 and 13 were dull, poorly paced and lacked substance. Episode 14, however, was damn good. It had the perfect ratio of atmospheric subtlety to legitimate plot development. The Sarah Palmer, gloved English guy, Andy in the White Lodge and Chad scenes were all really, really good. There weren't any overly long scenes where nothing happens, no scenes that have nothing to do with the overall plot, it was what I'd expect most episodes to be. If the show can keep this quality up for the last 4 episodes then awesome.

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
Agreed. I just want at least 2 episodes of old Coop back :/
Me too. In the meantime, he's been blogging about each new episode as it airs: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/search/label/twin peaks the return viewing diary

Billy, who has been mentioned multiple times this season (Audrey seems to be with him), came to her house covered in blood, and then ran off. One of the girls is the daughter of Tina, who is the woman Charlie called in the first scene with Audrey this season.
Sarah Palmer, Laura Palmer's mother, who was all over the original series, and was also watching the animals fight, and boxing this season.
The same woman from episode three of this season, credited as Naido, who was seen in the purple room, communicating in a world out of time with Agent Cooper.
Freddy, who was seen in episode 2 entering the Roadhouse with James.

The AV Club reviews do a pretty good job: http://www.avclub.com/tv/twin-peaks/
Lost in the Movies is more interpretation, but also good: http://www.lostinthemovies.com/search/label/twin peaks the return viewing diary

The Diane podcast this week is incredibly interesting. Connecting David Lynch's Hindu beliefs with the concept of dreamers, tulpas and the horse (which is a part of actual scripture). Mr. C's true ambition being re-contextualized as a quest for freedom from the man whose mind birthed him. Thought substances and God, etc.
The real highlight is the notion that Laura, full of light, and Sarah, full of darkness, may need to be united to end all of this. Sarah has totally drowned herself in misery, and only her daughter's light can help her forgive herself.

Crazy detailed theory. Tulpas everywhere. I like it, especially the Audrey stuff, but it explains almost too much and I don't think Lynch does that.

Meh, as cool as deadly Mrs. Palmer is, the way it recontextualizes her previous role in the series is pretty blegh. Yeah, it looked cool- but feels totally out of place as with the BOB victim she once was.

I feel like there's room to work around that though, given her change at the end of Season Two.
What happened at the end of Season Two that pointed to that?

It's still too early to call for me, and we need a bit more information before we can say it is a retcon that recontextualizes her past or simply a brand-new story development.
For example, if Sarah is being possessed by the shadow creature that escaped the Black Lodge at the beginning of the season, then that's a new development, and it does not really retcon her past.
However, if Sarah is the little girl with the frog moth/baby Mother, then yeah... it really retcons her role up to this point. I mean, she could still have been a genuine victim in the original series (if the frog moth was still growing in her, and she wasn't aware of it), but yeah, it complicates a lot of things.
Yeah, we need more information. It could be that Laura's soul was keeping the frogmoth at bay; after her death, it started to grow. Who knows?

Shadow...
take me down...
I don't think he is? Didn't similar things happen to Philip Jeffries and Chester Desmond?

Well Jeffries seems as if he's gone evil and Chet is nowhere to be found. Why not help for them from MIKE, The Arm, or The Giant like Coop got in the past and is getting now?

They all seem special though, nor Tammy nor the detective were able to see the Woodsman who was closing on them, while Albert, Gordon and Diane did.

I doubt the end is going to be about defeating all the evil spirits and everyone is happy.
I wonder if Chromatics will come back one more time.
They have a song called "CHERRY".
They can't come back until Beach House has performed.
"Will Beach House perform?" is my own personal "when is Cooper coming back?"
probably the latter. Probably same reason Andy was the one sucked in. They're good at the very core, that's kind of what the dougie plotline is about. That's what makes him stand out from the other blue rose agents. Albert is an asshole (likable to us), Chet was kind of a jerk especially to Keifer Sutherland. Cole is a creep of sorts but he's probably the one closest to Cooper's good nature. We really know nothing about Jeffries to able to really say anything

If anything, I'm kind of glad that Jeffries has remained mysterious mostly, I bet Bowie just loved how WTF was his whole role in FWWM.

Cool!
Or it could be that the frogmoth grew because it feeds on pain and suffering as well. After all, Sarah Palmer has been hurting and suffering for 25 years.

Nice!
This Reddit post brings up the possibility of the FrogMoth representing cancer, talking about communities near the New Mexico test site where cancer rates increased.

This makes a lot of sense - looks at the Woodsmen. The Lincoln Woodsman is obsessed with smoking for a start. Throw in the Log Lady and zero attempt to hide her real-life illness, Beverley's husband (Tom?) and of course Harry, and there's quite a discussion to be had.

I have a theory that exposure to a Bob host is very bad for you, espescially sexual exposure, but we'll see how on point that is when we learn more about whatever happened to Diane and Audrey.
Sarah Palmer absolutely has got a light.
Chain smoking like she does can't exactly be a good thing in the world where woodsmen are a thing. Maybe giving one a light literally lets them in.

We have 4 episodes left, right?

17 and 18 air on the last night.
But there's 18 episodes. Episode 15 is on Monday, we got a whole 4 episodes left
Edit: Oh damn they going out on a double
Well if it helps, I doubt it too, lol. I'm just saying there might be more to work with. There's enough material for Twin Peaks to go one for a very long time if Lynch and Frost really wanted to. Though I'm starting to think that "it's all a dream" theory might ring true, which might kill everyone's hopes for a season 4.
I read the finale was two hours, didn't realise it was two episodes. Makes sense though.
17 days left of Twin Peaks and 10 days left of Game of Thrones, I really don't know what I will watch after that
