Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
What the f*** is going on with the space-time in Twin Peaks?
Last scenes are all about the same thing: Sarah's TV loop. James Hurley singing the same song since 1991. Audrey's Waiting For Godot drama kind. Big Ed's groundhog nights.
Wait, didn't Bobby says «TODAY» when he is talking about the chair's secret?? Well, this was not "today".
The reflections are on the same line of this.
I think there is a kind of time loop or something in Twin Peaks since Dale went on the Black Lodge. And the things are getting worst in every loop.
You're on to a big part of what underlies the superstructure, not that I can elaborate on it, much. It's just that now that you've listed some of the examples, I think, I recognize this. And many sharp posters here have identified these S/T anomalies in various other threads.
I notice that they exist in macro and micro scales. Manhattan box-watching~events in Twin Peaks vs. Buckhorn~Agent Cooper transporting from the lodge to ground--macro. Sarah and her mirror image mistiming--micro.
This stuff interferes with my concentration.
Yeah, good. Wanted to make sure I wasn't going crazy when I heard Bobby say "we discovered stuff my dad left TODAY."
Maybe they shot the scenes originally intending the Bobby/Shelly/Becky/gunshots-in-RR-Diner to come before Bobby/Truman/Hawk find the Briggs capsule? Then they switched 'em during editing? But they did write the whole thing before beginning to shoot. I don't know. I just don't know.
Maybe time will become even more confusing in Twin Peaks over the next five episodes. Is it future or is it past.
There's definitely something along those lines going on, like everybody is stuck in some sort of vortex and can't seem to move on.
Although I honestly think Lynch put James in there to to make us all screech.
And the one I forgot that melts my M&M's most of all: Major Briggs freshly dead early middle-aged corpse. Was it deceased 25 years ago and "lodge-preserved"? Was he living in the lodge, unaged, and recently deceased? Was he naturally aged, killed, and the corpse age-reversed (why not, it's Twin Peaks)?
That one's a tangle and it really messes with me. Definitely macro.

Hastings said the Major had been "hibernating." I doubt we will get much more explanation than that.

Just because your are seeing stuff does not mean you are not going crazy !
Honestly, really, there's nothing wrong with the reflections in Sarah's mirrors. Watch it on a big, high quality screen.

Maybe he was salted. salt conserves...

I agree ! (or maybe i start un-seeing things now)
The scene at RR where Bobby says "today" isn't some sort of time anomaly. It's Lynch cutting the scenes in a particular order that is not linear.
It's not that the town of Twin Peaks is having a space/time anomaly. It's just the way Lynch has chosen to present the scenes to us: out of order.
It might make sense by the time The Return wraps up. Then again, it might not.

So it's more like a "cinematic style" anomaly ? how boring!

I was on the fence about whether the time anomalies were intentional until this last episode. Ed's reflection in the window and Sarah's tv loops made it clear that there is something off with time in TP.
