Twin peaks spoiler thread!

[Spectralmusic]

Don't read on if you don't want it all spoiled for you

[Spectralmusic]

So far I'm in love with it, there are more unfolding plot threads unfolding that it's hard to keep track of.

Each episode gives of heavy vibes of some of his previous movies but also feels completely NEW for Lynch. It's Lynch un-restrained, unleashed with no compromises, it's television history people!

Eraserhead? Blue velvet? Lost Highway? Mulholland Drive? Inland Empire? it's all there in places.


What is the box?
The thing that goes through the box and kills the young couple ****ing?
The shady groundskeeper guy?
The guy being jailed, his wife, the deputy?
Who is the billionaire?
What's Jacoby doing with them shovels?
The tree from another place?
Space?
Helllllooooo????
The woman with stitched eyes?
The mother?
Jefferies?
Cole and Alberts suspicions of Dopplecoop
We finally get to see Diane???

and muuuuuuch more!

@Spectralmusic: I'll post some theories towards some of your questions, but I'm not sure if I'm comfortable dropping the spoiler tags before I know that everyone else is caught up (though it's unlikely they'll even look at this thread if not)

Spoiler for theories:

see below under "The mother"
also, it could be that sex or strong emotions in general triggers the thing to appear. From the established canon of the show's universe, Black Lodge spirits are known to feed upon human emotions (although mostly negative ones; i.e. "garmonbozia"). Who knows? Maybe the previous guy that was briefly mentioned was trying to bust a nut on the job, which caused him to see what he saw?

The shady groundskeeper guy?

I dunno, he seemed like a one-off character to me, but I could be wrong. I was kinda wondering the same thing about the drugged out mother in ep. 3, personally.

What's Jacoby doing with them shovels?

The gold painting would seem to imply that they are to be used for opening of construction projects or something to that effect. Could be related to the Horne brothers' business possibly?

The tree from another place?

The obvious out-of-universe explanation is a work-around for Michael J. Anderson no longer being involved With Twin Peaks, but otherwise it could be tied to the quote "Next time you see me, it won't be me" from the S2 finale, although it would make more sense for that to refer to Coop seeing the little guy's doppelgänger shortly afterwards in the same episode.
I have to admit though, I kinda chuckled at "I am the arm. This is what I sound like."

Space?

Unsure. Could it be a previously unseen part of The Black Lodge? A very different visual motif if so.

Helllllooooo????

I didn't make much of it. It just seemed like he was mimicking the other guy's behavior, like with everything else he said.

The woman with stitched eyes?
The mother?

Some have theorized that the thing that appeared in the glass box could have been the "mother" that was banging on the door. I don't know though. It didn't seem to have any identifiably female traits from what I could see.
Also, the woman with eyes was played by Ronette Pulaski's actress. Don't know if that's relevant to the plot or just a cameo.

We finally get to see Diane???

Now that would be something! Although it would kind of ruin the mystery

[Goofle]

The first time he shouted "Helllllooooo!" I almost died. Amazing stuff.

I'm pretty sure the thing in the box had breasts....so the mother theory may be on point

personally i never try to understand Lynch until my second watching....with this after the entire series

so far i am loving this....that 3rd episode is such a wonderful return to typical Lynch style and it's just such a relief to see something like this again...it reminds you just how genius he really is....just that opening sequence is so thought through and executed with perfection

[Spectralmusic]

I've read so many theories already that it's hard not to let it get to your head, lol

So far, this new series is a very very special and remarkable experience!
