I don't know if this is it but the way he was navigating the gym set reminded me of Cooper looping around the lodge from curtain to curtain.

It's at the top of the twin peaks subreddit, topic titled Sarah Palmer and the Woodsmen. I haven't watched but the Palmer television as a medium for the 1950whatever events to creep in could make sense. (don't wanna link it and create a huge reddit embed again lol)

That boxing match seems like it could be from the 1950's...

Good find! There's also this, obviously: "The Flying Dutchman (Dutch: De Vliegende Hollander) is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. The myth is likely to have originated from 17th century nautical folklore. The oldest extant version has been dated to the late 18th century. Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries reported the ship to be glowing with ghostly light. If hailed by another ship, the crew of the Flying Dutchman will try to send messages to land, or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom." "It is a common superstition of mariners, that, in the high southern latitudes on the coast of Africa, hurricanes are frequently ushered in by the appearance of a spectre-ship, denominated the Flying Dutchman ... The crew of this vessel are supposed to have been guilty of some dreadful crime, in the infancy of navigation; and to have been stricken with pestilence ... and are ordained still to traverse the ocean on which they perished, till the period of their penance expire."

I got those vibes too. She's also the girl James stares at in episode two. Shelly asks her if James has a thing for her, before clarifying for a naysayer that he's cool.

Ray says a guard he'd never seen before gave it to him, could that have been after Dougie 'returned' it to the lodge?

At first I thought it was a flap from the matchbook but it's a square of paper that's notably in the frame from the first shot of the bear. This is wild speculation, but was there ever a note from Norma to Ed in the original run? Could it be that? Could he be giving up on Love (not profitable!) at the same time as his weird reflection glitch? I imagine it's just a passing-the-time signifier but this popped in my head upon rewatching the scene. Could also just be a receipt a customer didn't want...

Yeah I loved how into the car she was after the multiple comments about Dougies previous "terrible car." (not in a shallow way, maybe she's just into cars lol)

I think he was just kind of poking at the dandruff and it was interpreted as some kind of knowing back massage.

hungry horse?!

No wayyyyy, this scene escalated the hell out of the small seeds of spooky gaslighting planted in 12. I don't think it would've been as effective without it.

Time to collect my winnings re: my early prediction for this thread (though it's a given at this point). I must say I wasn't expecting alt-right rhetoric though, lol. Also this is a quite random episode 8 thought, but I love that ?????? is much "older" in "1945" than he "was" in 1990/1991.

i think Chris is right about Chet's "co-or-di-nates, plus two" being a memory trick. she probably lined up a few numbers in her brain with each syllable. like bandaids placed end to end with a few things sticking to each.

She bought Salems because she's essentially the town witch.

don't forget the opening scene with the giant. i feel like one of his hints has to trigger something in cooper, either snapping him into lucidity or at least into mr magooing something important.

i quite liked this reddit post

Meh, the chromatics didn't seem to play that long this week so I just view it as an extension of the episode closing songs. I like it.

there's always time for texture

At this point it seems like the mini-hangouts at the roadhouse are mainly for texture and we're unlikely to see those women or Trick again. Though who knows.

i wonder who sent gordon the french fbi-code-charades woman, or if that was for Albert somehow (though he didn't seem that tuned in). did anyone notice the bad rotoscoping (?) job in some of Tammy's shots opposite albert? you can see the red curtains behind her getting all fucked up and cut-out. i figure someone saw it but left it in for its digital creepiness, though i assume it's meaningless. anyway, great episode, though it seems fairly disliked. excited for the regular haters to spread more garmonbozia (pain and sorrow).

The only thing that gives me a little pause with the caps formatting stuff is that it happened in the same episode as when Gordon received that call on the plane and goofily said "CAPITAL K, SMALL N, SMALL O, SMALL X, KNOX," as though Tammy wouldn't write it down properly unless he specified caps.

I thought the signal was bounced off mexico as well as somewhere else? To hide where it was actually coming from.

I'm a little confused on the Mitchum payout logistics (though maybe that's okay/intended). Did Sizemore screw them and was trying to pin it on Dooper? Or did pre-Cooper Dougie screw them and Dooper had to deal w/ that fallout? Or Sizemore was legitimately helping them and Dooper's green-light-aided drawings helped screw them? None of the above?
