Epic episode. So much gold I don't even know where to begin. That floor swiping scene was amazing, I giggled out loud when it went on and on. Man I love David Lynch.

I lost track of the overall plot long ago but I don't care since I pay attention and appreciate the wonderful vignettes within the episodes. Lynch is masterful at directing these.
The interaction of the imprisoned Doug with the warden and with Diane (laura dern), the ice pick killer scene, the flirtations of Beverly (Ashley Judd), Naomi Watts all were good by themselves. Last episode's reckless truck driver vignette that started in the diner was really well done. Always great framing, editing, pace, and sound.

So the Horne kid who ran over the child has got to be Audrey and Evil Cooper's son, right? He sexually assaulted her or something...just like what he apparently did to poor Diane...she's freaking traumatized.

Jerry high and lost in the forest had me laughing uncontrollably.

Unless we were already there in Episode 3 - same color ocean, multiple clones of the electric bell thing that Cooper climbed the ladder to.

Then is the Giant actually Laura? Or a spirit that inhabited Laura? That would explain why Cooper sees him in the Black Lodge now.

Indeed!

Not saying very best necessarily, but probably the most incredible hour of television that I've ever seen.

Not coincidentally closest thing might be Episode 2 (3 overall) in the original where we experience the red room (as it was simply referred to back then) for the first time. Not sure anything can ever top what that was like at the time.

But this was taking things to the next level (below or above) in many ways.

Wow Bob wow!!!

The way I see it the Giant "creates" Laura as a counterpoint to BOB and other Black Lodge monsters coming to Earth.

Yeah makes sense given the Laura golden orb parallels the other creature vomiting the Bob egg.

It is interesting that I always felt like at the end of FWWM Laura's death was presented as a sort of Jesus-like self sacrifice. Lynch is certainly thinking something along those lines now.

I was pretty taken off guard by NIN coming on so early in the show. Then much of the rest of the episode felt like a NIN video. I need to rewatch that one for sure

This episode is going to turn away a lot of new viewers I think.

Spoiler:
I wonder if the girl from 1954 is Laura's mom, the identity is going to be important whoever it is

That was absolutely incredible...as one poster said, perhaps the most brilliant hour of television ever produced. I'm all-in with Lynch now, Dougie and all.

This is amazing.

That was intense. Note to self: do not watch another Lynch product alone late at night in a dark room in the middle of the night while considerably hungover. I got some ****ed up dreams.

I haven't read any of the internet speculation, as I want tune all that stuff out until the finale (and then read and hopefully be explained afterwards what actually happened ). But anyway, some thoughts:

-When humans created nuclear weapons, which could be seen as powers beyond our control, we also unleashed BOB and other dark forces? That seems pretty sensible, and also I seem to recall those black/yellow nuclear waste signs from some Major Briggs-related episodes towards the end of s2?

-It seems clear now that the white lighthouse surrounded by the purple sea is the white lodge, and the giant created Laura as some sort of counterforce to BOB and other evil forces that were unleashed on earth. However this leads into a **** ton of questions:

a) How did the giant end up in the black lodge?
b) If that's the white lodge, how did good Coop's journey back to earth (and into Dougie's body) go black lodge-->white lodge-->earth? I'd have to rewatch ep3 again, but iirc he pretty much just got whisked away from the black lodge to the white lodge where he met Ronette and the other woman and played with the bell/numbers thingy?
c) Is it just me or didn't it seem like something was terribly wrong with the white lodge in those ep3 scenes? It kinda seemed that the black lodge had quite the upper hand and everyone we saw inside the white lodge were just really creepy and suffering

-When I first watched the scene where the sleeping girl ate the frog-insect, I too assumed it must have been Sarah Palmer. But I don't think that really makes any sense, because:

a) Everything we saw surface on earth on that night was dark forces, and I don't think we saw anything Laura-related after the scene when the orb was sent to Earth via the projector thing in the white lodge

b The girl was just credited as "the girl" in the end credits. So far Lynch has given everyone a name even if we haven't learned their identity yet, such as the Horne kid and a few others. I really don't think Lynch would not have made it clear that was Sarah Palmer if that was the case

c) The Nine Inch Nails song that preceded everything that happened was "She's Gone Away", and while this may be a bit of a stretch, it's such a creepy and horrifying song that I find it tough to see it symbolizing Good Laura arriving on earth. That poor girl's soul being captured by dark forces would seem a lot more logical


-Lastly: I was rewatching the original eps just last week and I remember that the one-armed man said he and BOB lived above a convenience store. We were shown a building that not only was a convenience store, but was actually NAMED "convenience store", yet it only had one floor? Wat?


No episode this week, gonna be a loooong two weeks. Also pretty epic Lynch chose that as the mini-cliffhanger
