I’m not sure it’s a massive national forest as much as it just is a couple of acres of preserved land. We already know Lumon owns a lot of land in the area, so this is just part of that.

 

ive definitely liked s2 so far way more than the front half of s1

 

Helena putting together this forced excursion as a sly selfish operation to warm up her “cold harbor” and let her inner Dieter out with Mark is enough justification for me, I think.

 

oh i love the world building in TP as well (it's my favorite show). my statement was mainly about how the conflicting priorities for the show made it feel a little less coherent (mainly contrasting season 2 after the big reveal to the parts of the show Lynch worked on). it went from big mystery with smaller mysteries/interpersonal drama mixed in to lots of campy interpersonal drama with a smaller, slightly less-compelling mystery back to a bigger mystery at the end of S2/the whole of S3. i love it all, but it definitely fluctuated between surreal and conventional.

 

Just got through that episode and am wondering how to tag something as a spoiler because jesus christ

The mix of really wholesome hokeyness and deranged metaphysical evil and existential horror in Twin Peaks is wild and great.

 

Bless your heart, I've been wondering this for three weeks now.

Anyway, those clones/holograms/whatever they are were creepy as shit and furthered my belief that it's a simulation or a lower level, but they have to keep it so under wraps that even when Helly's life is in danger they would rather reveal that her outie is there than explain where they are if that makes sense.

 

I need the next episode to explain how their outies (specifically Mark) got to the wilderness.

 

I would sooner believe Lumon is “cloning” and enslaving their severed workers (and possibly others too) than any of it being a simulation.

 

Not saying there couldn’t possibly be a reason for it, but a random dead seal would sure be a strange thing to code into a simulation like that

 

Dead seal is giving LOST polar bear
Awesome episode. Love to see the break in environment and format. The lore was so absurd and I was laughing my ass off.

 

Loved the dream sequence in this ep. And also Irv’s reaction to seeing fire for the first time

 

just finished but I will defintely be watching again this weekend because wow

 

Just close your eyes when that stuff comes on.

 

you are 36 years old

 

What a banger of an episode. This show is my favorite show these days.

 

One thing I thought about…

the seal thing. Mark is the one that identifies it as potentially being a seal right? I think sometimes I get confused about what basic level knowledge of the world the innies have because I saw Mark identifying the seal as a laying of groundwork of his reintegration. How would the innies know what a seal was? They’d only ever seen goats. Is this stupid to think about?

 

i am not actually thanks though stay blessed

 

torturro was on one this week, the eye acting alone

 

Obviously this was a great and monumental ep of the show for many reasons but my biggest takeaway was that Milchick’s fit was incredible

 

I’m sensing a more gothic/Scandinavian Pet Shop Boys sound.

 

This episode was really giving I'm a dude playing a dude disguised as another dude

 

I like that people watching this show are like "wait is John Turturro actually kinda hot?" lol
