Dougie was very frustrating to me for almost the entirety of the season, but by the time Agent Cooper came back I realized how much I was going to miss Dougie. On a rewatch of the season I loved all of Dougie's stuff
I haven't done a full rewatch, but that's primarily because every time it would be Dougie heavy, I'd skip to more interesting episodes.
It's funny reading the different theories and people trying to make it make sense, especially trying to line everything up as if there's an answer to everything. I'm perfectly fine with not having a clue about half of what "actually happened" and just enjoy the feeling of being perplexed and intrigued. Totally agree about that last "Laaauuurrraaa" and how haunting it is, as well as Coopers' weird body motion and confused face and final line. And of course her scream is perfect. I remember the lights slamming off in the house made me jump and my heart was racing. Just incredible.
This is after Part 8 aired and pretty much sums up how I felt after every "major" moment of the original series, FWWM, and The Return.
I really underrated the creepiness of this season. I was watching every new episode with 3 or 4 people as it premiered, and it definitely took away from the scary parts. Was rewatching by myself in total darkness with the volume cranked up the other night and I nearly shit myself hearing Sarah Palmer moaning offscreen, and the jumping man coming down the stairs with the electricity buzzing. Also I will forever be creeped out by the first time they showed the woodsman in the jail cell and when the woodsman walked down the morgue hallway.
It takes a lot to scare me, but I had such a visceral reaction when the experiment slashed up those people in the first episode. I just sat there horrified. Perhaps it was just so unexpected
It doesn't scare me in a way that gives me nightmares or whatever, but it makes me uneasy a lot and I find that I hold my breath for some reason, haha
Dreams have always fascinated me and I've kept a dream journal that's pretty detailed for a few years now. Have 200-300 or so and I always wanted to do something with them. Watching this show makes me think of it constantly.
Everything works perfectly when you rewatch it. Dougie was annoying under the anticipation of week-to-week viewing, but as a whole the storyline pays off.
Was that even on the blu Ray? I didn’t see it, if so. I can understand his frustration. Perfect example of artistry vs. reality.
