- first of all, the music was great in this episode. This piece:
was very on point. I thought it sounded familiar and apparently it was used by Kubrick in one of his movies too.
- I'm thinking the atomic bomb opened the passage to the Lodge or had something to do with the creation of the convenince store and its inhabitants. If you've read The Secret History of Twin Peaks (which I am very glad is pretty much entirely canon at this point), you'll know that the native american tribe (that Hawk is also a part of) had some knowledge and dealings with the Lodge for centuries, so the bomb didn't create it.
- the visuals very amazing. my favourite parts were with the atomic bomb and the hobos, who are spooky as fuck.
- Apparently the hobo who kills those two people at the end and recites that poem is played by an actor who has done a shitload of roles as Abraham Lincoln. Just a fun fact.
- I also agree the girl might be Sarah Palmer, age wise she fits. But I'm not 100% sold on it, seems like it might have more to do with BOB's birth. Or not, that part is hard to explain so I'm not going to even try.
- Ray is either a brave or very stupid man, just after "killin" doppelCoop he sees a bunch of hobos come out of nowhere, eat(?) parts of doppelCoops body (or smear the blood around or god only knows what they did, take BOB out?) and he just sits there for a while looking at them. Also interesting to note, after he gets in the car, he talks to Jeffries and says doppelCoop is the key to all of this.
- The Mother (or Experiment as she is named in the credits) is similar looking to the card doppelCoop showed to that woman he killed back in episode 1 or 2.
- Imagine this being the first episode of Twin Peaks you ever see.
- I wasn't really sold on the NIN part, but mostly bc I don't like their kind of music.
- tfw we still didn't see Audrey.
