      In the tradition of post resurrection. To me it looks like Bowie and Rosenfield are in the background (Rosenfield even touches him) and Cooper is in a separate shot superimposed in the foreground. Who do you think that is there?

  • @MattMelon519
    @MattMelon519 5 лет назад +29

    You didnt mention that if you take Cole's word. he didn't vanish from the FBI offices, he just was never there in the first place. but THANK YOU for stating that Jeffries is "an intangible energy" instead of thinking that he is the percolator/ tea kettle himself! Too many people think Jefferies is the tea kettle but I think that's just what is keeping him there, like his life support.
    Also, how weird it is that Tammy Preston asks "Who is Phillip Jefferies?" in The Return, when she should already know who he is! Maybe she wants more information? Or maybe it's just a continuity error they overlooked.
    Also, ruby red shoes? I haven't noticed that before. Considering how much David Lynch loves the movie The Wizard of Oz and how often his films and twin peaks talks about dreams. I would not be in any way surprised if those shoes are a refrence to the wizard of oz.
    And David Lynch has said in an interview that the idea of Judy has ALWAYS been that she is an evil entity. Ever since Fire Walk With Me.

I think the we see where "the dreamers" wake up like Audrey in the futuristic white room...she's been in a coma for 25 yrs since bank explosion and wakes up realizing she'd dreamed all that and i think others are getting into each others dreams. What if when Cooper says "What year is it?" he was waking up too...and same with Jeffries when his head is on the desk and he thinks it's a year later...

      Tammy likely doesn't know much about Philip Jeffries at this stage. I'd imagine that's top-secret, highly-classified Blue Rose information that she only gains access to once they let her in, which isn't immediately in the story.

    I never thought about the 1988 vs 1989 angle ono the Jeffries' scene because I tend not to keep track of dates very well. That was the first mind blow I've had in a while. I always preferred the Missing Pieces version, but if they're both real and not real, that changes everything.

    @ashleyvincent1860 2 года назад +3

    I was (over)thinking about the possibilities and I have come to the conclusion that there is a high probability that we are supposed to take two meanings from Jeffries' accusatory question, "Who do you think that is there?"
    It is now my working theory that, like many believe, Jeffries thinks he is looking at Mr. C, but I think we are meant to _also_ examine the effect time travel has had on his mind, and his own ability to _ever_ distinguish the good Cooper from Mr. C. In another video I watched, someone synced up the meetings between Cooper and Jeffries, and Mr. C and Jeffries, and the outcome suggests that perhaps from Jeffries perspective, removed from time and physically damaged from all his meddling, those interactions may very well appear to _overlap entirely._
    Also, good catch about the _ruby red shoes_ in what is ostensibly his attempt to get _home._ That whole scene has become the horrific inverse of Dorothy waking up: everything is in sepia tone and right with the world, all Dorothy's friends are healthy and whole, none of it was real, and her lesson was learned. Jeffries gets to taste some semblance of being real again, but nothing is right, he will never be physically reunited with his colleagues again, all of it was terrifying and real, and there will always, always be more questions than answers - and he is sucked right back into non-existence without any warning or comfort.
    _"Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!"_

  • @mddkofficial
    @mddkofficial 5 лет назад +1

    Great points. I've interpreted it like that: Buenos Aires scene from the missing pieces is the pocket reality (like the one at the end of return where they lured Judy) created by Judy to observe Jeffries. He somehow tracked her and she wanted to know why he is after her. You could see that in the dancing in the beginning of the scene is extremely over the top as if created by someone who is trying to reproduce something he or she doesn't understand, based on Jeffries memories as the case in Return when the world was stuck in the 80s before Cooper entered it, and later it was more modern based also on his memories. When Jeffries is teleported back to Buenos Aires the guy screams at him, asking where he was, saying that he shit himself (or almost shit, I don't remember it exactly) as if the whole world froze when Jeffries disappeared, and they were unable to do anything as everything centered around Jeffries. Imo that gave the idea to Giant to create this pocket reality to lure Judy into and he was the one who teleported Jeffries to the FBI guys. I've just finished Final Dossier and Mark Frost pretty much dienied my theory, but hey, you never know.

      arguably though. Jeffries for sure facilitates this somehow. It's well established in FWWM and Missing Pieces that Jeffries has achieved or is capable of time travel. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate the views!

    @kimberleywien4231 2 года назад +1

    the KEY is, In 1989 Laura and Agent Cooper saw each other in a dream, and the "Cooper" she and Cooper himself saw in the dream was Cooper 25 years older, Laura wrote the dream in the diary before her death, addressing Agent Cooper as "an older man" and there's one page missing from her diary. The younger Cooper addresses his dream with Diane in the recorder, so Diane was his diary. In 2017 season, Diane was hidden and replaced with a tulpa.
    25 years later:
    Episode17: Older Cooper found teen Laura (with the help from Philip Jeffries and MIKE) in Twin Peaks to bring her home and she disappears screaming in thin air and then Cooper suddenly in the waiting room meeting older Laura.
    Episode18 (Final): Older Cooper found older Laura (Carrie Page) in Texas (with the help from the Fireman) to bring her home and she screams and then everything stops.
    Laura' s missing page should written : "2 :53 ...Time and time and time again" WE LIVE INSIDE A DREAM -TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN.
    What Laura whispered to Cooper in 2017 season final was her MISSING PAGE, in where they would eventually meet each other outside the red room/waiting room, in some "alternate worlds". In disbelief Cooper then utters "WE LIVE INSIDE A DREAM".
    So who is JUDY (the extreme negative force)? Laura IS Judy. LAURA IS THE ONE. This is why 2017 Bad Coop was after her, because BOB who is still with him wanted Laura's body & soul, according to Laura's secret diary. Whoever is after her will vanish. She uses nickname "Ms Judy" after Judy Garland for some reasons. The Fireman (electricity?) was protecting Judy. Did the Fireman turned Laura into Judy?
    The WHITE HORSE means someone you have in mind the most will become something in a different & more powerful form - "the Gumm (Judy Garland's old name/self) you liked is going to be back, in style."
    So halellujah come on get happy!

    • @JanPBtest
      @JanPBtest 4 года назад

      @kys I tend to agree. It's basically akin to automatic writing or hypnagogic writing which never results in truly creative work. Where Twin Peaks excels is those moments outside all that stuff and it's those segments which make the series so good. But when I heard that Mark Frost was into that Blavatsky stuff, then it all became clear: why it's partially a somewhat off-putting mess it is. That kind of thing always had this kind of smell in the past.

    • @JanPBtest
      @JanPBtest 4 года назад

      @kys Yes, I was frankly surprised after FWWM and then after TP Season 3 that he (Lynch) was willing to go so far along such a cheap route as Blavatsky's channeling gobbledygook. The series is still absolutely brilliant thanks to Lynch's sound instincts when he is less concerned with all that "astral mathematics".

  • @eriamjr
    @eriamjr 3 года назад +1

    Your analysis is brilliant. Your re-edit of the conversations with Jeffries-as-teakettle reminded me of the 'rabbit' scenes in Inland Empire, in which initially coherent (by Lynch standards!) conversations are re-edited in an apparently random order. FWIW, it also occurred to me (thanks to your prompting) that the infinity sign can itself be taken to represent a duality: two circles, perhaps representing two entire realities or cycles of time, intersecting at a common point.

    Jeffries' experiments with time have made him 'unstuck in time' a la Billy Pilgrim in Slaughterhouse Five, or Dr. Manhattan in Watchmen. He experiences time simultaneously as opposed to linearly. When he speaks to Cooper(s) in The Return, he is speaking to both of them at once, but apparently has difficulty telling the difference between the two (he is also experiencing the Philadelphia incident at the same time too. When he says "We're not gonna talk about Judy", it can be argued that he is addressing the doppelganger at the point in time where Mr. C interrogates him about Judy. This is also why he asks Gordon "who do you think this/that is there?") Because the scenes are presented separately and in a linear fashion with regards to time, this leads to the audience's confusion - to quote the man himself: "It's slippery in here".

    • @TakeTheRing
      @TakeTheRing  5 лет назад +1

      yes! that's kind of the point I was trying to make with that re-edit. those scenes seem jumbled, but in Jeffries world, it's all the same, time is irrelevant. Frost gets into this a little more in the Final Dossier novel. you said it much better than I did. 🔥🔥🔥

    In the original script of Twin Peaks, S1E1, Josie has a dog named Koro. Cooper asks what it means, and Josie says: _'Chinese. I am not sure exactly. My late husband Andrew named him. "Big, steaming engine" perhaps?'_
    Cooper further ponders the meaning of the word in the next episode's script, which adds significance to it.
    Of course, this never made it to the series, but I can't help but think it's connected to Steamy Phillip somehow.

    So here's something I never noticed before. Because right now is my first re-watch of season one and two since I've seen The Return.
    Season two, after Leland's death, They pan the camera over the mantel (in Laura's house) where her prom picture is in the center. Between her pic and the next is a very strange looking old tea pot.
    Which later we learn Sara Palmer had a connection with Judy as did Jefferies, who ended up being a old tea pot.
    I'm not sure if I've ever seen this pointed out before.
    Anyone?

    If you watch episode 17 and 18 at the same time, when Jefferies says "There could be someone, did you ask me this?" in ep 17, it is preceded by Laura asking Dale "Is somebody following us" in ep 18.

      For what it's worth to anyone reading this comment ten months later like I am, Lynch (in a very rare move) actually stated that the parallel episode theory is not accurate. From an interview with The Guardian:
      He does, however, squash the theory, much loved by some Peakers, that the last two parts of the 18-hour series should be watched simultaneously on two screens, with dialogue overlapping. “Yeah, I heard that. It’s bullshit. See, it’s beautiful that someone came up with this. You could double-expose scenes in lots of films and it could conjure some fantastic thing.”

    Thanks for this! by the by, there's no reason for either Albert or Cole to have forgotten the incident in Philadelphia - no new ground would be gained, in the story. They DID forget what Jeffries said about Coop ("who do you think that is there") - at the time, it had to have seemed irrelevant to the larger what-the-hellness. It was only Cole's subconscious that remembered what Jeffries said - and Cole's MB dream triggered him to access the memory of that specific line, helping Cole to think in terms of Cooper identity confusion. (Note: when Cole brings up the incident at first - "when Jeffries appeared, and didn't appear" - Albert wasn't confused about what Cole was saying. They shared the memory of PJ being briefly in the office, they just lost a specific detail.)

    its a shame there isn't more info on cooper. The fact that he's already aware of something strange by experimenting with the security cameras implies he already knows about time travel/other dimensions. And when david bowie says "who do you think that is there?" pointing to cooper implies its not the normal cooper and there is something mysterious about him.
    I feel like those two things are huge but there's no more info on it or content on that in the show/movie.

    why does Mr. C imagine that Jeffries would be on his side though ?

    • @TakeTheRing
      @TakeTheRing  5 лет назад +5

      My feeling is Jeffries has been playing Mr. C for many years. (Gordon and Albert have the feeling that Jeffries and "Evil" Coop might be working together earlier). But Ray is a double agent we find out at the end and he's arguably being directed by Jeffries. and Mike takes 'Good' Cooper to Jeffries at the end. Also Mike seems to be the 'handler' of the ring in S3, and Ray said Phillip sent the ring to him to put on Mr. C, so maybe Mike and Jeffries are working together? Finally we know from Gordon that Jeffries has maybe been on their side all along.
      So Mr C. Has Jeffries trust for an unexplained reason. Frost talks about this in the Final Dossier novel, that maybe Jeffries spotted the Doppelganger in FWWM and has been working behind the scenes to an end.

    there's a dot in the infinity symbol. Is it pointing to the fact that there may be a chance to introduce an anomaly of sorts in an otherwise infinite cycle of whatever Judy is perpetuating?
    Also shouldn't we consider the missing pieces version the unofficial version? Maybe its not the way phillip says the introductory sentence but rather the straghtforward way in which he states his experience of the convenience store meeting without the weird edits from the official 1992 FWWM movie? I found the missing pieces version to be more revealing in that sense

    • @TakeTheRing
      @TakeTheRing  6 лет назад +2

      Yes! There's a whole bunch of stuff going on with the number 8 that could be relevant to the story. Some believe that in Christian mythology, 8 represents "rebirth" or "starting over" which also works here. And then there's the idea that it ties to Part 8 because it's the origin story. I had a whole section written about the numbers 6, 7, and 8 but had to cut it from this video for time. I will revisit in another video...

    • @JAMAICADOCK
      @JAMAICADOCK 6 лет назад +2

      In episode 8 of the second series, Cooper lies on the floor dying with a bullet in his guts. In episode 8 of the Return - Doppel Cooper is shot in the stomach.
      Episode 8 of the second series is also the first time the Giant appears to Cooper.
      The 8 in the convenience store may be a cryptic clue, informing the
      more esoterically inclined viewers that Cooper actually died in room 315 - and the rest of Twin Peaks has been in Cooper's Bardo/ Purgatory ever since.
      8 representing eternity as well as the eightfold path that Cooper must follow to move along the Karmic scale toward enlightenment. The Giant also tells Cooper - 'a path is formed by laying one stone at a time'. Which is echoed at the beginning of the Return with his 'two birds, one stone' puzzle. Which I think refers to reincarnation.
      The after-life in Lynchian terms, is dependent on the personality and life experiences of the deceased, it's very much a subjective projection but with objective archetypes.
      So in Inland Empire Sue Blue's afterlife is a Hollywood movie; in Lost Highway, Fred Maddison's afterlife is a revenge noir; likewise Cooper's road to enlightenment is an investigation, fitting for a dead FBI agent with a belief in Tibetan mysticism.
      But Lynch is too oblique to let us know for sure. In that sense he's created an esoteric piece of art that can interpreted on many levels. Something like the Bible - some will take Twin Peaks literally, others will see it metaphorically.

    Alright. Long comment ahead -Some things I hadn't noticed in my 3 rewatches of S3 until I watched this video today. I see what looks like a reflection/shadow of The Jumping Man that I've never considered. Look When Mr C begins speaking with Jeffries. Look on his right, our left, I keep flipping scenes between them and I see a reflection of faded red below(JMs suit) and white on top(mask). FWWM scene JM was Directly behind Bob as he sat down and began making noises before Bob spoke. In this scene, the electric light violently flickers and I see red/white on Mr Cs left side.
    1988 Philip gets teleported to the FBI and when he refers to Cooper "who do you think that is there", we see a fade-in of The Jumping Man. When the good Dale walks up with Mike, the Jumping Man leaves. If this appearance is a reference his presence, its as if he's in the room from the first time we ever see him in the convenience store and hasn't left for all that time Until Mike and Coop take those stairs.. maybe he himself is deeply connected with Mr. C/and or Bob as a current familiar/vehicle . If that truly is the Same Convenience Store from that deleted scene from FWWM Im seeing ALMOST all of the beings in this same room from different points of view minus a few now that I notice it-
    Mr C (Bob) Jeffries

      Yes! I have noticed the red and white reflection behind Mr. C when talking to Jeffries as well! You're the first person I've heard mention that. I don't know if it's a happy accident or they set it up that way, but I really think it's supposed to represent the presence of the Jumping Man. If I ever get back to making regular episodes on this channel, I plan on exploring the Jumping Man more in depth including a lot of the observations you mentioned.

      @@TakeTheRing ahhh another long comment ahead and When the series first premiered each week it did in 2017 (they took one week off in the middle) I would spend at least 2 nights a week on reddit, contributing, going back through old series scenes, breaking down scenes momeny by moment, etc. Its quite seriously one of my favorite topics I only made a reddit during that time as it was my first ever reason to start w reddit and I've seen each film/season it in full entirety twice. Since I have your attention I'll throw out some others I noticed, small stuff. Watch the scene between Ray and Mr C- the first ever scene in the diner. When they begin discussing "information" take a very close look at Mr Cs hair coloring. There is a very clear streak of darkness that moves from one end of his hair to the other without the lighting having anything to do with it during speaking of "information, I thought i was off until I rewatched that scene 10 times. It seemed a bit pointless to alter but my theory is that its shown to indicate that when hes asking about that information perhaps its the Bob side of him thats curious and in that moment, were hearing more from that side directly? I also think that after Mr C kills Daria he not only goes to wash his hands in the motel bathroom, I think he's checking for Bob like in the cell scene. The scene where Cole sees an apparition/vision of the FWWM Laura Palmer, after Albert enters and before Tammy does, keep your eye on his hotel door. Its as if somethings in front of it prior to it opening, you can see in the hallway, little images of that scene almost glitching, being affected by something. Its as if his "unofficial version" vision of Laura has been brought up by a very specific presence. It almost visually reminds me of when Mr C shoots Phyllis, though maybe thats a stretch. A few more notes on what I originally said, when Cooper undos whats been done to Laura through time, its like he robs the Lodge of its "sacrifice"/garmonbozia its as if that meeting in the Convenience Store solidified something and he had to go back in that room as Cooper/Mike to reset it , Jeffries is no longer a victim of time travel being flung between countries and years...he's literally a vehicle for it. ((Subsequently btw results in Him going from a victim to multiple people in reddit posts guessing him to being "the magician" in the FWWM poem?)) Kind of strange how he's a victim of that time travel that he doesn't control... then Coop appears and disappears in the Sherriff Station similar to how Jeffries appeared. I heard a theory by someone that in that case, if Cooper just disappeared how Jeffries did, in front of Cole and everything that someone thought he might be next to take Jeffries place in the radiator/percolator, but again just a theory. Cole knows that Jeffries doesn't exist anymore yet only Recently remembers That specific 1988 encounter, I found that super super odd its like "yeah we secretly work together and have for years" yet that specific occurrence would obviously be one of if not the first time Cole ever saw Jeffries begin his path to "not existing anymore" alright, last one and this ones pretty straightforward, in part 2 when Cooper goes to leave he is literally blocked from entering a specific curtain. After he goes back to the convenience store and meets with Jeffries, he is no longer blocked from that specific curtain when he meet with Diane.
      I write a lot because Its rare when I actually get to speak to anyone who's dissected this stuff like I have! Discord GARD8490 if you or anyone else are interested in throwing theories around or seeing how far they logically go. I feel like the final part was less "Twin Peaks" and more whatever would come next in the series. That last episode, each detail even the fact that Richard doesnt even enjoy coffee the same way Cooper does yet you seem him seemingly Literally reaching for the Red Room before he says "What year is it?"

      ...Ohh also also. My bad. This is another great one 🤣 when Jeffries is teleported back to Buenos Aires in front of that poor gentleman who soils himself the gentleman says "AYUDUME?" which I've been told means "call for help" so when Jeffries reappears in the physical world, there is a "call for help" kinda reminds me of when Dougie goes into the White Mustang for the first time? He goes to the desk to "Call for Help" I will credit myself in saying, if that's true I havent see a single soul catch that and it seems extremely intentional. 🤔

    • @TakeTheRing
      @TakeTheRing  5 лет назад +1

      Billy is truly a mystery. There's not a lot to go on, except that he's tied to the Audrey story and he may or may not be the drunk with the messed up face in the jail cell at the end of The Return. My theory is that he's a mystery that maybe would be explained if the show was in somewhat of its original structure. Meaning that it seems like The Return (especially in the town of Twin Peaks) is a bunch of fragments that could be more cohesive like in the Original Series, but because the Doppelganger is out and the Black Lodge is maybe seeping out into the town, we don't get a "real" Twin Peaks mystery. Make sense? So he's like the zombie kid in the car that Bobby sees, maybe he's real, maybe he's not. Maybe there's a story there, maybe there's not? Maybe if Twin Peaks was "back to normal" there would have been a "Billy" plot. I'll talk more about this down the road. Make sure you subscribe and thanks for the comment!

    Twin Peaks likes to subtly break the fourth wall by commenting on itself. Maybe Lynch admitted through the character of Gordon Cole that he had forgotten some important pieces of the plot from the 90s and made continuity errors/plot holes all because of wanking to the picture of Monica Belucci.
