I would stop watching, sadly.
Your wife might have some trouble watching certain scenes in later episodes...
And it never becomes what you're looking for. There are some lighthearted scenes but it is mostly bleak and fucked.
But that is the point.
Oh ok, did someone ever mention a mother in the show? I only remember the second lady in the structure where Cooper found Naido mentioning her.
EDIT: btw I rewatched ep 14 and Naido is seriously creeping me out, those fuckig eyes and her cry...
If you turn the phrase "WOW,BOB,WOW" upside down it becomes "MOM,BOB,MOM" Mom obviously refers to Mother/The Experiment. Holy shit.

The show proper has yet to address her as 'Mother', but a section of the Secret History of Twin Peaks book mentions Jack Parsons, a rocket engineer involved with the occult religion Thelema. Parsons attempted rituals to summon Babylon, also known as the Mother of Abominations. While Parsons was not directly involved with Project Trinity, which we saw in Episode 8, it is theorized that the figure we see expelling BOB out into our world is, in fact, that same creature.
Though as with most things, it's hard to tell if what's mentioned in TSHOTP is directly tying everything together with these real-world people and events, or if it's just Mark Frost showing his inspirations in a unique way.

There are too many stretched out scenes that test the patience of the viewer, I think 13 or 14 episodes would have been better. I'm just glad that this time the whole season was finished before airing.
Don't agree with their opinion on Episode 14 at all, if every episode was like that, fewer people would have jumped ship.

Yeah, Frost_Ace does mention that one instance, but AFAIK any official documentation or credits for it do refer to it as 'The Experiment' instead of 'Mother'. The credits aren't super reliable, since they do like to hide names of certain characters until its appropriate, so it's still a bit nebulous unless you dig in to the lore in the book.

Just watched the new Ducktales and there's a great Season 3 Twin Peaks reference. ^_^

That's a stretch.
went in to finally have those romance scenes with Coop and Lynch/Frost gave her Charlie 💀
Weirder than this is that Charlie used a rotary phone to call Tina. I haven't seen one of those in like.... 25 years!
Fenn was expecting this probably lol
Ahh those were the hyped days...
all of that amazing chemistry just completely squandered smh

Be sure to tell us about your guys' experience with Part 8. Heard it's a real keeper to those who were on the edge of dropping the show.
Don't forget the Ep 12 exchange between the Mitchum Bros.
"I hate that Dougie Jones so much. I can't wait to kill him..."
"Can you wait 3 more hours?"

Congratulations, you really deserve it!
You guys are masochists if you are expecting coop again next episode

I feel it
End of 16
Ep 19 for sure
Yup, end of 16 is where I'd put it, with begin of episode 17 and end of episode 18 right behind it. Basically... any episode other than 15 of the 4 remaining ones lol.
I'm rewatching the season, and I'm on ep 2. When Dark Cooper is on the bed talking to Daria, he says "This is quite an interesting thing to think about" same as Gordon in episode 14.
Also it really does seem like things are out of order. They find the piece of hand from Ike the Spike in the trunk of the car in Ep 1.

It wasn't Ike's, was it? I thought that was like Hasting's secretary DNA, which was how they connected the homicide to him. EDIT: Crap, double post.
maybe. But it sure looks the same size. it's been awhile since I've seen these
I feel like the Cooper outlet stuff happens right when the 2:53 stuff happens in the woods in ep 14. That's maybe why when Truman calls Gordon he doesn't mention the Great Northern key.
edit: Seems that the point where Coop changes to catatonic is that second zap from the outlet with the puff of smoke. You can see his expression with his eyes widening like something happened. Then he's completely emotionless after. And gets sucked out.

Just started with TSHOTP and its really interesting. I am just 18 pages in or something.
There is passage in the early chapter of the book wich tells the story about
To me it sounds a bit like the same experience Andy had this last episode.. he will also be the only one of the group to remember the events he had seen.
any thoughts on this? Dunno if its already debated but i thought to leave it here.
There is passage in the early chapter of the book wich tells the story about
a explorer working for the president back in 1804 who is exploring the area where nowadays Twin Peaks is at.
He meets with a native American Tribe who are called Twisted Hair. They gave the explorer a map of the area wich descriptions reminded me about the map in the owl cave and the owl ring. In a letter he send to the president he wrote that he went on to explore the map and then wrote something about a place he had found on wich the president tought he had been drugged or suffered malaria because it doenst make any sense.
The passage he wrote says this about the place:
"Lights from the sky, the silvery spheres.... music, like some heavenly choir... Fire that burns but does not consume... colors unseen or unimagined, flowing from all things... gold, all gold, bright and shining..."
Later he wrote that when when he went back to the group (who didnt went with him to that place) the next thing:
"........ i have made no mention of what i have experienced above the falls. No one else who accompanied me appears to recollect any part of it......"

That is very clearly a reference to the place near Jackrabbit's Palace. It's really amazing how Mark Frost wrote that book, filled it relevant information and spoiled nothing. That is serious brilliance.

Guys. Please clearly mark what spoilers are for if you're putting them in, and if they're jokes, please don't use the spoiler tags. At least, not if you want me to read them.
Also, you don't need to spoiler tag anything that has already been released, that includes TSHOTP.
Oh, and I'm laughing my ass off at someone not referring to Meriwether Lewis by name, but just calling him an 'explorer'.

The Blue Rose team now know about Dougie. Gordon's got men on it. And they very least I hope they find him in 15.

Chantal and Hutch possibly showing up to kill him in this episode makes me think it's plausible he wakes up. But then we might get a repeat of what happened with Ike the Spike.
I think it's more likely that only happens right before or during the finale. But we shall see. Either way, I don't need it to happen. I'm happy with more Dougie and I'm happy with more Coop.
Yep. That banner is better than the whole season.

Yeah i am not that familiar with American history, sorry for that
I'm super happy with Coop. Who knew Kyle could play an entity that threatening. It's like the manic evil of Bob mixed with the 4D chess of Cooper.

Hoping the new episode has an fbi moment like in the last.
That episode was probably my favorite out of the season so far and the only way the next episode can be as good is only if copper comes back.
