Wasn't she also just sitting on a plane next to LELAND PALMER from TWIN PEAKS???

Hi Invidia

Funny you should mention that -for the first time I just watched The Twin Peaks movie last night and I thought that guy looked familiar -like I had seen him on something recently.

Did you like Twin Peaks series? I have been debating on watching the past episodes On Demand , but thought I should watch the old movie first since they said it was a prequel?, and because they have a new Twin Peaks movie premiering May 21 on Showtime. I have been debating because David Lynch 's weirdness, for example The Naked Lunch is kinda too weird /off kilter/confusing to me.

I am SO sorry- that was David Cronenberg- NOT Lynch.

And what you'll see MAY 21ST is still another TV SERIES that takes place 25 YEARS LATER after the DEATH of LAURA PALMER.

oh, I was thinking it was a movie, I think I will be watching and also the past episodes now that I know I had David's confused- and I know just who to ask when I have questions

Thank you

There's suppose to be 18 EPISODES. Originally there were only about 8 or 9 of them, but LYNCH QUIT and then SHO offered him more eppys to get him to come back again.

I am glad to hear that. I watched TP: Fire Walk With Me again ( I realized I had on some parts) and I am going to binge watch TP season 2 this weekend.

Have you seen BLUE VELVET? In that film KYLE (AGENT COOPER in TP) pretends to be a BUG MAN so he can SPY on the REAL LIFE girlfriend of LYNCH at the time (the daughter of the actress who stars in CASSABLANCA).

Yes I did see that. Kyle MacLachlan, I have been a fan ever since I saw Dune and The Hidden.

So maybe that's why you got confused?

That probably contributed also.

Anyhow, Wonder if LEELAND from TP will show up again? My bet is we haven't seen the last of him in FARGO.

I think he will. He also has a recurring role as the neighbor Marvin on the ABC comedy Fresh Off The Boat .

@Invidia said:

After he opens the box he also finds a BAG that has some kind of POWDER in it. At first it looked like it might be cocaine, but he didn't seem to recognize the taste of it, so he pours it out into a TRASH CAN looking for some kind of a POSTAGE STAMP that's worth lots of money.

Sy said that powder was the cremated remains of the beloved family dog.

So apparently CARRIE has the same problem on BOTH SHOWS with DEVICES NOT WORKING for her???

WEIRD HUH???

Exactly .

@Invidia said:

...that CARRIE can't get the SOAP DISPENSER, SINK, and HAND DRYER to work ....

The reason why has me in suspense- and they had better have a reason why- on both shows.

... the CREEPY BULEMIC GUY who keeps PIGGING OUT and then PUKES it UP....

OMG- : yuck: I don't remember his name on the show-but your description is wayy better than a name.

But YES we do still have the ACTRESS who has ROLES on both SHOWS having very similar problems with MACHINES NOT WORKING properly whenever she tries interact with them. Wonder if the writers of both shows also KNOW each other???

I think they do, having the same actress with the same oddness on two different series -something that unusual can't be coincidence.

@Invidia said:

So IF we ever find out the reason why the LEFTOVER MACHINCES don't work, and IF FARGO ever reveals the reason why their MACHINES don't work, then It will be interesting to see if the reasons are related.

Now that I think of it...I would not be surprised at all if Fargo doesn't even have/give a reason - that they were only doing it to copy Carrie's character on LO - just to mess with our heads. (if true, remember I said it first)

I do believe they will have a valid reason/reveal for Nora's affliction on LO.

I was just talking to @Kathy/The Bridge over in the "Lorne Malvo one of The Greatest All Time TV Characters" thread and she reminded me that season 2 of Fargo had that underlying UFO element! - maybe Gloria had some sort of a UFO experience/abduction? That would explain it.

@Invidia said:

And then the NEW TWIN PEAKS also starts tomorrow too!

YAY! Showtime is having a TP marathon again(started yesterday) and even though I just watched it a few weeks ago- I can't help but watch again.

So were there any OWLS in S2???

Yes.

There was also a HINT of something SUPERNATURAL happening at the start of S3 when Carrie's (Nora from LO) STEP father was murdered. And he also use to write SCI FY NOVELS?

Yes and yes.

And there was also that CARTOON about the character that lived for MILLIONS of years before they deprogramed it? And Nora also didn't use COMPUTERS (which is why she lost her job as CHIEF of POLICE)???

Yes, yes.

I'm getting confused.

Watching so many series, and 2 with the same actress, sometimes it is hard to keep things straight .

@Invidia said:

I was asking if FARGO had OWLS in S2.

No.

Also tried to find out how much it would cost to get SHO, but got LOST in the FOREST of information they have for how to subscribe to it and ended up watching the first eppy of HOMELAND. One link said it would cost almost $100 to get it. But that was in combination with HBO which I already have. So if that's how much it costs, I'll just have to read the reviews and comments. There were also several other options like You Tube, but couldn't find any prices listed. If someone is going to promote themselves the first thing they should do is LIST the DAMN PRICE. But NONE of the places do that and one ends up giving up in trying to find one.

I would not have HBO or Showtime if I wasn't offered it for free trial- then a package deal.

Anyhow, hope you enjoy tonight's eppy of the NEW TP show and also look forward to reading some of your thoughts about it.

OK, I haven't watched it yet. Last night I was busy watching and re-watching The Leftovers.

Also tried to read that other topic here that you mentioned and just ended up confused about that matter as well.

Sorry to confuse you, what other topic?

Just found this thread as I was looking for anyone else talking about similarities between Fargo and LO. The issue with Gloria and Nora vs computers is just one of a few that I've noticed in the last few weeks, and there are now surely too many for this to be coincidence.

1) Nora and Gloria both go on investigative trips via airplane, with the whole episodes centered around them. 2) They both have trouble with computers/mechanical devices 3) Both have also recently investigated the circumstances surrounding the death of a man with a caved-in head. Gloria says the words 'not a pretty picture', Nora creates a blown up version of 'not a pretty picture' 3) Theroux plays twin brothers in latest LO episode, McGregor plays twins in Fargo 4) Finally, and this is a big one, listen to the score at the end of Fargo S3 Ep6, from the moment Gloria says 'screw it'. Then, listen to the music in these two scenes from LO if you can find them - final scene of S1 Ep9, just in the very moments before the departure...and final scene of S3 Ep1, just as Nora says 'no'. Tell me this is a coincedence??

This season seems like it's turning into a collection of callbacks to Hawley's favorite shows. We've seen references to the work of Damon Lindelof, Vince Gilligan and David Lynch. I hope that's not the only thing he's giving us, but it's looking grim. One more show to find out if anything ties together even a little bit.
