After Irma took my power and delayed my viewing, I'm back on track! Three to go!
Important Moments
- BOB Cooper takes Richard Horne to a rock, which does something magic and disintegrates him. Damn you, Tesseract! He's apparently his son too...but good luck figuring that one out with the information available thus far.
- Dougie (or Doug-E) is in a Coma. Mitchum Brothers hijinks ensue.
- After nearly 8 Episodes of build-up, 1/4 of the Hateful Eight wait around Dougie's House...and get shot by a crazy Lawyer all of a sudden. Alright...
- We learn the truth about Diane. More on that later.
- Cooper is finally awake...and Cooper. He says good-bye to everyone and goes to find BOB Cooper.
- Audrey FINALLY leaves her house, watches Eddie Vedder and then dances, before...dammit.
Theme(s)
As far as Themes go, this one works...Death and Revival.
- Those killers seemingly die.
- Dougie is finally 'dead'
- Richard Horne seems to be dead(ish).
- Diane is...whatever that was.
- Dale Cooper is finally back!
- Oh and whatever is going on with Audrey.
Weird Moment(s)
Runner-up is the casual way that everyone takes the transition from Dougie to Dale. It's all 'oh, Electricity does that.
The winner is, of course, the bit with Diane. Here's Wikipedia's summary of this...
"Having received a text from the doppelgänger, Diane tells the task force that, years ago, Cooper raped her and took her to an old gas station. Exclaiming "I'm in the sheriff's station... I'm not me", she pulls a gun but is shot by Albert and Tammy. Diane is drawn to the Black Lodge and dissolves into a seed. Tammy realizes that the "Diane" they had been associating with is actuality a tulpa"
About freaking time! Yes, I'm going to be that guy. Dougie (or Doug-E) Cooper was an interesting idea. Should he have lasted for 15 Episodes out of 18 though? No. Nobody makes Lynch do what they want when it comes to this Series (unless it is that one time with the Network in 1990)- fine. I just wish that someone would have reigned this one in and maybe focused more on him solving the mysteries of the area. For instance, what about those people torn to shreds in New York? How about the people who keep showing up with the Major's DNA? How about the Woodsmen? The guy with the rubber glove that gives him super-strength? Diane's whole deal? Hell, just have him constantly trying to figure out what BOB Cooper is doing and play up the idea that he's a Doppelganger. Why couldn't we get that Show? Don't get me wrong- I do enjoy this quite a bit. I like the quirky stuff in Season 2 more than most seem to. That one was just balanced out with the actual Plot and fun stuff like Cooper's crazy rival. Hey look- my idea for having Dale trying to stop/catch BOB! On the plus side, things seem to be moving...
Next time, I feel like I'm in for a trick here. Will the Plot finally move towards the big climax? See you then...
