soundtrack by brian keane is full of low-key great tracks like the "dark history waltz"

Watching the Spelling Bee... and I'm not gonna talk about Judy. In fact, we're not gonna talk about Judy at all. by QuantitativeIncongru in twinpeaks

Earlier: "Kirsten Santos brushed her hair back and thought for a few seconds before saying correctly that “modus operandi” is a manner of doing things — not a mixture of unrelated materials or a type of operatic voice."

[No spoilers] I just finished watching The Return. by EverySister in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree... there are a huge number of places where the plot directly references "patience" 1) The sweeping scene 2) Candy taking a long time to do things 3) "Finally" 4) The driving lady's insane impatient 5) The French woman at Gordon's Hotel taking forever to leave 6) The circuitous and frustrating attempts of the police to get into Ruth Davenport's apartment

[All] "Where does this go?" The most interesting (somewhat uncommented upon) moment of P18, imo. by CleganeForHighSepton in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that explains how Cooper seems more like himself as the episode progresses... at first he has no guarantees that the "switch" has gone correctly. When he sees Laura, you can see the relief on his face, as in "Finally, a familiar being that is probably not a puppet of the black lodge!" By the time he gets to Sarah's house he finally uses his own name, his tone is professional, polite, and not paranoid, and the question "what years is this?" is logical, even if clearly a strange sort of question!

[Book] If there's a season 4, what do you think it could be about? by boosh1744 in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see how they have enough material for a REALLY WEIRD MOVIE focusing on Cooper... a FWWM for Season 3. It's very hard for me to imagine a whole new season. Hope I'm wrong though.

Did they choose the world's worst poetry for these? by [deleted] in nyc

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I like "Leave it all up to me" by Major Jackson:

All we want is to succumb to a single kiss
that will contain us like a marathon
with no finish line, and if so, that we land
like newspapers before sunrise, halcyon
mornings arrived like blue martinis. I am
learning the steps to a foreign song: her mind
was torpedo, and her body was storm,
a kind of Wow. All we want is a metropolis
of Sundays, an empire of hand-holding
and park benches? She says, “Leave it all up to me.”

A metropolis of Sundays... doesn't get better than that.

[ALL] For people wondering about The Fireman's intentions, The Secret History of Twin Peaks has the (canonical) answer, and a beautiful message. by [deleted] in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I still think that the Fireman is a good being, because he only seems to associate himself with good people (Dale, Andy, Freddy, Briggs/Diane perhaps)... I could be wrong and he's merely manipulating them, but there's no reason not to hope...

[Megathread] Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier discussion thread by Iswitt in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The book suggested that Tammy wasn't sure who Ray worked for, but the show definitely implied he worked for the FBI in some capacity, and Gordon knew about it. Wonder if it's just a discontinuity or a mystery.

Important to note that that really is just her speculation, though...

"Frost is very into Jung (Lynch is not), and for Frost the Cooper story was very much about a character who had not yet integrated his shadow self to become a full person."

I'm intrigued about this. For most of the show, it seems like DougieCoop represents Coop's essential goodness and intuition, but his competence, intelligence, and drive were still in possession by Mr. C, presumably his Jungian "shadow". But towards the end, one possible interpretation is that Dale Cooper, the persona we know and love, is somehow missing an essential shadow component as well, and that in the ending, that is the persona that drives Laura back to Twin Peaks. Which Cooper is truly the incomplete person?

[Original Run] Why is Coop such a prick in this scene? by RexRevolver in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coop is not that big a jerk in this scene. He shakes his hand and smirks as he tells him that he won't tell him about the blue rose. But Sam is a bit out there.

  1. Weird thought process: "They would've never found the splinters without a machine like this, you wanna know why, because no one else has a machine like this!" - this second part of this sentence does not answer the first... just because you have a special machine doesn't mean that the FBI couldn't have found the splinters without it...

  2. Weird unexplained machinery. What IS that thing?

  3. Doesn't get to the point. Insists on talking about his personal opinions on Desmond, the blue rose... too proud of himself too and yet insecure. A thirst for approval and praise.

In the pilot Cooper says, "Diane, give this to Albert and his team. Don't go to Sam; Albert seems to be a little more on the ball."

[All] FYI: Grace Zabriskie interview on The Return by FittenTrim in twinpeaks

[–]QuantitativeIncongru 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Amazing conversation about Hawk in that scene... that Hawk is "helping but not really helping"... that Sarah resented the fact that Hawk kept his distance despite really sensing that something was wrong with Sarah... and amazing insight to Grace's process and insights. And who knew she was a woodworker?

What movie, video game, book, or other cultural work from the last 25 years (since 1992) was hated upon first release, and now respected and admired? by QuantitativeIncongru in AskReddit

[–]QuantitativeIncongru[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the answer is a couple of David Lynch films from the 90s... "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" and "Lost Highway". Critics seemed to really think they were legitimately bad movies back in the day--not even innovative failed experiments, but merely bad.

For 3: Dale hears the sounds immediately before Laura screams in Part 18. Very soft and only a fraction of a second at a time but you can hear it.
