For some reason I thought of the Neverending Story and the rock eater, "these look like big strong hands...." except in this case the glove hand holds someone from slipping away and succeeds....don't know why that is just my mental imagery when extending the idea of the power of the strong hand.
With that glove Freddie is able to do what the Woodsmen can do to skulls. So it seems the Fireman is recluting people for a future and specific task.
Good to remember that this is a 'green gardening glove', meaning an instrument for tending and forming nature, which is split atomically(like atom bomb or vortex) and not self-sufficient, but requires the intervention of 'thinking fictions', instruments, dreams which do not 'exist naturally', but are 'conjured', so that reality relies on instruments/thinking fictions/dreams to sustain itself and is thus 'conjured'. Freddie stopped 'enjoying this beautiful day' as if it was a self sustaining nature, stopped going to pub and decided to do something with his life, make things right, 'help people', etc., this is how he dreamt of 'gardening' or tending nature when he was then taken to the vortex and told about the glove by the 'fireman'(putting out the woodsmen/BOB fire burning nature, law of 'wild west' enjoyment, profit/enjoyment increasing forever into wild extremes, law of the land, seen as 'natural'). The original Agent Cooper himself longed for justice and an ideal community to sustain it. The idea of tending nature/law/'the state of things' with an instrument also resonates with Gordon Cole's drawing: the hand with the instrument/watch(watch tells time, gives reality to history, periods of time, etc.) reaching out to the abomination of nature(nature as not self sustaining, but a moving beast with a tree growing out of its head) to interact with it, 'tend it'.
I thought the accent was over the top too. No one speaks like that in the uk. But guess lynch likes to do things tongue in cheek. English guy living the American dream.
i think it was intended as a hilarious over the top accent. along with the name Freddie, his use of colorful colloquialisms, his calling London 'Londontown,' and so on, it felt like a definite nod to cockney characterizations in the old films. Freddie was a generic name you might call a stranger whose real name you didn't know--Freddie or Charlie. Learned that from pygmalion 😉
A heads up about nearly knocking the jobsworth head off:
He said that he was worried he broke his 'Gregory'. That's cockney rhyming slang 'Gregory Peck/neck' 😉

Ah, I forgot there are people here who don't get rhyming slang. They should think themselves lucky he's not a Geordie. Would be funny as hell for most Brits but totally incomprehensible to anyone else.
I forever love Lynch for slipping the Beatles into this.
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late...And is Freddie using a real east end accent (my west coast tin ear doesn't know shit)? What a hell of a story. Hell of an actor. Just a beautiful little gem of a scene overall to throw into all of this.
It felt like an introduction to a Lennon-McCartney singing superhero. I'm rooting for Green Glove Guy to make good things happen!

If only you folks across the pond could speak English. 😉

Yep, if only you could. 😉

And don't forget Elk's Point #9
Number 9,
Number 9,
Number 9
Bar! 😉

Priceless.
It's also a real goddam bar, interior and exterior, in Snoqualmie--can't think of the name just now--not even a set, can you believe it.

Freddie with his somewhat ridiculous but possibly important Green Glove did seem like Lynch/Frost poking affectionate fun at the current fascination with comic book super heroes (or, rather, ordinary guys and gals turned heroes with super powers).
When Seasons 1&2 came out there were a lot of crappy soap operas about, so we got Invitation to Love, with its echoes in Twin Peaks own (sometimes comic) melodramas.
Just wait till he teams up with Sarah Palmer - that'll put the fear of death into the bad guys...

I'm going straight to bed and wishing this quote into my dream register. It must come true.
With his super strenght green glove, I think it's possible he will grab someones hand, holding it, and preventing the person he is holding to be sucked up in a vortex or something like that. Or to pull someone out of this "other dimension" with force, back into the real world.
The one thing that bothers me with that guy is... We never heard from him before, he shows up in the final act and he's super-powered.
Deus ex machina, anyone?
If Lynch enjoys making fun of clichés, then maybe the guy's "destiny" is to *get* punched to death in the face?
(And I didn't get the 'Gregory' pun, despite understanding it based on context. Maybe because I speak French. I wouldn't have thought of Peck.)
