It's amazing just how much they've made Kyle MacLachlan's Bad Dale/Doppelganger look like Frank Silva/BOB, from the hair to the makeup accentuating his bones/facial structure. You don't need a morphing effect to see BOB is in there with him, influencing his appearance, though it's not BOB in control.

 

Also amazing: How he growls "at your house" - he sounds exactly like Silva's growling voice as BOB. A moment of pure animalism as he invokes what he must have done to Diane, the only thing BOB does.

 

When Diane tells him "look at me!" it also reminds me of Laura staring into BOB's face and asking over and over "who are you?", right before she got her answer.

This must be one of the better titles for a video I've seen.

Surprise! By the relevant metrics, TP's streaming ratings are allegedly very good.

Has this interview with Kyle been posted? His comments about Cooper are interesting seeing as we haven't seen that character yet.

Comedian Brett Gelman talks playing casino supervisor Burns.

Thanks. These interviews are always interesting in seeing how the actors deal with the restrictions and also talk about the atmosphere on set. It usually seems to be a positive experience. 

 

I'm glad that site's coverage isn't just things like "Diane is continuing Twin Peaks' history of Orientalism."

[Vee]

Oh God! That!

[DRW50]

 

Yeah. It took me a few reads to realize it wasn't something from The Onion. I have a feeling the author just wanted to complain about the yellowface story and dressed up the rest of the article around it. My favorite part was when they said Lynch ripped off Anna May Wong's hair when...about 50 actresses at that time had her hairstyle.

I mean, if that's the worst thinkpiece we get in several months I'll call it a win.

Fun fact: Allegedly, the black figure in the cell in Episode 2 and the one walking in the morgue last week were played by two different actors. This is supposedly confirmed by the actor from Episode 2 on FB, but I'm not 100%.

[DRW50]

 

That's interesting. I wonder if that means two different creatures or just a filming issue. 

 

I take it from your episode 8 tweet it will probably be a Dougie-heavy episode. I know some hate that but I am enjoying it. I figure it's wrapping up soon anyway. 

[DRW50]

I'm nearly done with the Secret History of Twin Peaks book (I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, especially once it gets going). It's kind of sad that what was likely written at the time as a cute joke (Lana Milford dating Trump) now made me feel anger at having to see him mentioned, even obliquely.

Well, they're not my tweets - one is from TP Archive and the other is from Lynch's right hand producer Sabrina Sutherland (who also appeared as a casino attendant in Parts 3 and 4). I really have no idea what will happen in the episode and I wouldn't assume just yet.

There are rumors about how long the Dougie saga may or may not go on, but I don't know. I think a lot of people are banking on it wrapping here to coincide with the two-week break, but I have my doubts. I know Jim Belushi and Robert Knepper, the Vegas crime boss brothers, are supposed to have substantial roles so I think if things do change they'll simply enter a new phase.
