My guess is that Richard is Richard Horne, the charming individual who likes to sexually assault teenage girls at the local watering hole and run down small children with his truck, and Linda is the disabled veteran who's married to the guy who caught a ride with Carl Rodd into Twin Peaks with.Could the young couple in episode 8 be the Richard and Linda the giant mentioned in the first episode?
I'm Jonesin'!
Me too but I'm trying to recalibrate my expectations or hopes because it seems unlikely that any of the rest of the episodes will reach the level of the last one.Tonight's episode is my second most anticipated episode other than the premiere. After "Got A Light" I'm on the edge of my seat.
Yeah, I loved that Major Briggs was right about his son ending up right after a tough adolescence. By tough, I mean dealing cocaine to fellow high school students and shooting a guy in the head during a drug deal.Another great episode. Love the Dana Ashbrook scenes as Bobby.
This entire revival has had incredible establishing shots.The establishing shots of Twin Peaks were all so great especially the one where the sun was coming through the trees behind the Sheriff's Department.
In both cases, the extra time was used to great effect. In the case of Chad, the reluctance of the new Sheriff Truman, Hawk and Bobby to open the door for him when he had his hands full spoke volumes about their feelings toward him. In the case of the smoke break, the extra time allowed us to see Diane soften toward Gordon, and maybe give us a glimpse of what she was like before her encounter with Dark Coop.I liked that this episode had the trademark David Lynch scenes where things take place way too slow for a TV show like Deputy Chad picking up all of his lunch, walking towards the door, asking Hawk to open it and then leaving or the scene with Cole, Diane and Tammy standing and smoking for way too long.
I don't think it's the Black Lodge, since it seemed like Briggs was hiding from the forces of the Black Lodge. It seems more likely that it was the White Lodge, which he'd visited in the second season and which we saw briefly at the beginning of Episode 20. Still unclear is the manner in which the Major and Ruth died. It seems like it happened Over There, wherever "There" is.So evil Cooper pulled the Major into the Lodge (?) and Briggs spent the next 25 years there.
The woman who finds him called him "Johnny" and Jan D'Arcy is again credited as Sylvia Horne. Interesting that we've now seen the entire Horne family except for Audrey.I'm guessing that Johnny Horne is the guy who ran into the wall.
The nice thing about that beat is that it shows just how "in the know" Diane was, when both Sam Stanley in Fire Walk With Me and Tammy Preston in this have been kept somewhat in the dark.A mention of a Blue Rose case.
It was great getting another Lynch alum, Charlotte Stewart, back reprising her role of Betty Briggs. Her and Ashbrook really sold the hell out of those scenes. When Bobby was showing the sheriff and Hawk how to open the oblong metal cylinder, Ashbrook's performance really called back to that wonderful diner scene in Episode 8 where the Major shared his vision with Bobby. As much of a little shit as Bobby was back then, there was real love in the Briggs household, and real patience and understanding. And seeing that reflected back a quarter century later was wonderful.Yeah, I loved that Major Briggs was right about his son ending up right after a tough adolescence. By tough, I mean dealing cocaine to fellow high school students and shooting a guy in the head during a drug deal.
I think Part 9 gave us the first concrete confirmation that the various story threads are playing out at the same time. The message from Major Briggs to Bobby, Hawk and the sheriff specified that there were to be 253 yards from Jack Rabbit's Palace on 10/1 and 10/2 at 2:53. Sheriff Truman noted that 10/1 was two days away, which would place that storyline at 9/29. When Bill Hastings circles the photo of Major Briggs and signs and dates it, he dates it 9/29.
That was my first thought too; the loop on the nine is so big that it looks like a zero. But I went back and listened to the dialog again, and Hastings says the 29th through his sobbing.I just re-checked my recording and, by my eyes, the date was 9/20.
Here's the best image I could pull:
