Who fuckin knows
That worked for 90/91 Andy. The same quirkiness doesn't work when the actors are 25 years older, and their characters somehow haven't changed in that time.
Though I do think it worked for Jerry. But that seemed like an extension of his character, not a regression.

Some of the surprise cameos are so fun they really should be kept secret.

I feel like this might be intentional, the way Lucy acts in particular makes it seem as though she's in a trance state or something, especially with her body language in the scene with the guy coming into the station looking for Truman. Her eyes seem to be focusing on things that aren't there almost, seems atypical to how I remember the show's Lucy. My guess is this has something to do once again with the off-kilter feeling of most interactions. Something is not right with the world.

Episode 3 Spoilers:
I think Mr. C knew, the Giant in episode 1 at the very start mentions a few things to remember, and one of them is the number 253. When Cooper goes to the real world again, the watch on the girl's wrist reads 2:53, and while Mr. C is losing consciousness he keeps glancing at the dashboard (I think both for the time and to make sure cooper isn't coming out of the machinery in his car or something). He only gets relieved when 2:53 passes on to 2:54 and he's still there.
And as he created Dougie, it could easily be he hired those guys to kill Cooper, because he knows either him or Cooper has to die to be able to exist in this world.

That chromatics performance at the end totally reminds me of a similar scene / song in Kentucky Route Zero

I personally thing (episode 3 & 4 spoilers)
that Tamara is a doppleganger or was in the Black Lodge. I think several characters might be. IE, when Mr. C shoots the woman who was heating on her husband in the eye he mentions she's gotten good at acting within human nature, which I think the implication is she's from the Black Lodge and had to 'learn' how to fit in like Cooper is right now doing after being in the Black Lodge for 25 years. And I think Tamara is the same way... Notice she BARELY ever speaks. I think she is coming back from the Black Lodge too, which is why her humanism is really weird right now. And I think the 'bad acting' is subtly hinting towards this, as even the characters seem to sense there's something wrong with her.

This is actually something that's stuck out with me about the season so far, there's really no simple way to spoil the series because of its weirdness and how many plot threads exist and just the odd direction things go. Before the premiere there was a talk about trolls maybe trying to spoil big events because of the secrecy, and while you may be able to spoil some small snippet about the new season easily enough, IE like a screencap of Mr. C with the words "COOP'S DOPPELGANGER FROM THE LODGE!!", there's not really any single thing so far that would spoil most of it to try to troll someone.
Which I'm insanely glad about. Maybe later, but safe for now (given I'm watching these the moment they air anyway, so yeah).

Was that logging into the FBI by dopleganger​ Cooper supposed to be parody?

Had to quickly pause my viewing of episode 4 to let everyone that
Wally Brando had me howling in laughter.
3000% yes. It was too good. Honestly, Twin Peaks was worth it just for that.

That's what I took the beginning of episode 3 to mean.
The thing in the Box is the 'Mother' from that realm, the thing in the box starts banging on the glass like the banging on the door (but the glass breaks easily), the box becomes pitch black before it appears and the blind woman turns on the light when the banging begins to happen I think for a reason (and why she was sticking close to a fireplace anyways), and as the Mom scene happened after Cooper was in the Box I think the Mom tried to follow the 'tear' Cooper made and ended up in the box.
I do think the thing in the box at this point is "mother" from the opening of Episode 3.

He says a few things to remember, some names and two numbers, 430, kill two birds.
But the number 253 is in the room before the scene happens and the number changes to 3, right I remember where 253 comes from it's on the clock device. I did misrember a bit but it did pop up right before the transition and Dopple coop is noted as watching the clock when it happens and after he crahses (but is not sucked in) the camera focuses on the clock going from 2:53 to 2:54.

Is Showtime showing both 3 and 4 next weekend?
I'm trying to figure out whether I want to watch them as they air or if I should binge all of them now as soon as they come out.

The more interesting numbers will be the ones that come out next week, heh.

Been dragged away by the awful terrorist attack on my former city of residence.
But Chrysta Bell got confirmed as a guest at the Twin Peaks Fest this year, so that's kind of exciting.

I'd bet there's a huge drop by week 2 or 3. I just don't know how the masses (or even more casual Twin Peaks fans) will react to episode 3. I thought it was amazing, but Lynch is going nuts.

Ok, gave in and watched episodes 3 and 4. They really should have just aired all 4 hours over two nights.
I really liked
I really liked
that Robert Forster wasn't playing Harry as it was initially thought. Did I miss something or did we not realize who he was playing until the Cera scene? I know Lucy had talked about "two Sheriff Trumans" but when he appeared I initially assumed he was Harry and the other was a son or something.

that's the evolution of the station intercom jokes from the original series.
They've always been the dumb innocent characters.

I can buy a lot of things but I don't believe
I also will never get over Lynch's boner for Chrysta Bell, to the point where even other characters point it out.
a schmuck like Dougie would both marry Naomi Watts and have the fucking balls to cheat on her.

Reminds me of Kojima and his "reasons" for Quiet.
Inb4 the sole reason is "they like to look at Tamara's ass". Done.

Only thing I didn't like about any of the four episodes was
the Michael Cera cameo. Took me right out of it. It was just Michael Cera doing (bad) shtick to me.
Anyway...so, uh, what's the deal with
Dougie? He was created? (By Bob, I assume?) And real Cooper was tricked? Were the mother, blind lady, and/or MFAP doppelganger tricking Cooper into escaping the lodge via Dougie, with the intention that Dougie/Cooper would've been killed by the hitmen, so Bob could stay in the real world? Although it seemed to me the guys looking to kill Dougie were hired by whoever wanted Bob/Doppel-Coop dead, and mistook Dougie for Bob.
Also, I feel like that animation of Dougie turning into a floating black disk, that turns sideways into cylinder has been seen somewhere before in this show. Am I imagining that?

Yup, plus a lot of people (myself included) currently on free trials. Not sure if they include those in their numbers though. Should be interesting to see what our own OT looks like turnout-wise closer to part 18
Thanks for this, probably one of my favorite shots as well. Also love the one
looking at the fireplace after he comes back from being outside the space cube.
Plus,
it's a direct callback to the intercom scene from The Missing Pieces.
Well, Dougie WAS manufactured (whatever that means).
The whole Chrysta Bell obsession is a bit of a bummer. She's so much less interesting than his former "muses," but I guess when this kind of boner starts, it is very hard to put out.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm eager to see the new cast as much as the old guys, but seeing them, it was just, magic.

Oh haven't seen that I guess. My bigger problem though is that
I don't know... I expect them to be a little smarter than this in their 50's. I don't like when revivals keep their characters frozen in time which is what I feel like they did with those two. The characters could have some sort of progression in the flavor of their past characteristics.

God I'm glad
has been axed. While some of the gags drag on too long, the balance of drama and comedy is hitting my buttons way more than 80% of the original series.
A part of me is still miffed that the show didn't end with the original finale, since it was absolute perfection, but I'm really digging what we've gotten so far.
edit: I will say, though, that the
thread needs to kick into high gear soon.
