when will Dougie become normal?


I hope he won't be like this most of the series.

reply

I agree. His walking stupor is starting to lose it's novelty factor.

reply

It's not Dougie though, it's Cooper, right? They exchanged bodies. What we need is Cooper to become normal and realize he's not Dougie at all.

reply

The real Dougie doesn't exist anymore.

reply

The real Dougie swapped places with Cooper didn't he? the real Dougie got sent to the Black Lodge in the waiting room chair Cooper was sitting in and he turned into a pebble or something.

But alot seem to think Bob created Dougie and his family so he would be sent to the Black Lodge so he wouldn't have to go.

reply

I know it's not Dougie, but I want Cooper to wake up and become himself again.
He seems to get clues, the words 'agent' and 'case files'. The cop's badge. The statue of the gunfighter. he fixates on these things remembering his past life. It's like he's starting to get glimmers, but it's very slow and I'm about ready for him to have a light bulb moment.
Maybe DIANE will be the one to snap him back to himself.

FUCK YOU GENE KELLY!
that made me crack up so hard.

reply

Helloooooooooooo!!!!!! For all we know, it could take another 2 decades to finally see him snap back to reality. :D But it should no doubt happen very soon.

reply

I wouldn't mind it as much, if I knew Showtime intended to renew, and Lynch had agreed to make more seasons... but if he doesn't change until the finale, it would be a huge fuck you to his audience. Funny as hell, in a way... but still really messed up.

reply

Well the One Armed Man was telling him to 'Wake up!'...as if he was a SLEEPWALKER....so I suspect something 'big' has to happen for him to wake up, and then he'll be the old Cooper.
Maybe through sound? He could hear a song that will make him remember Annie, or Audrey (the Falling In love song, for example) Or maybe the FBI will find him before the ice pick dwarf does and through reverse hypnotism, wake him up.

Or maybe the Ice Pick Dwarf does attack Dougie, but he doesn't die, but goes into a deep coma, and when he finally wakes up he is his old self again? If he was in a coma for a few episodes, we would certainly get more Laura Palmer scenes in the Red Room talking to him, and he could even have visions of the White Lodge and who knows where else.

I suspect it'll take at least two or three more episodes.

reply

Maybe when he sees Diane (his assistant), it will help to jump-start his memory. I don't know what her purpose would be in the series otherwise.

reply

Yes, that would be an excellent jump-start to his memory. She first has to see the Evil Cooper in jail though. I think episode 7 is going to be a good one!

reply

We all want Cooper back, so I have a feeling it will not happen in this season. He'll wake up at the end of the final episode.

I hope I'm wrong.

reply

I'm pretty sure this is the final season of Twin Peaks, so Cooper will recover his senses at least by Episode 9 (the halfway episode of the season) .

reply

Lynch has said he has no immediate plans for another season, but is also open to the idea of one, so all hope is not lost yet...

reply

I think he'll have to come face to face with evil Cooper before it happens.

reply

I heard ep 14

reply

I'm wondering if Evil Cooper will have to die first. I feel like Cooper's stupor (heh) may have something to do with the fact that he was supposed to take the doppelganger's place when he left the lodge, but since that didn't happen, he's lost much of his faculties.

reply

He got some of himself back when the dwarf tried to kill him. He went from shuffling zombie to ninja in a split second. But then back into the zombie when the danger was over.

reply

"Remember Richard and Linda" said the Giant to agent Cooper before he left Black Lodge. Boy, was he optimistic. Turned out that he should've said "Remember agent Cooper".

Six episodes to go, and not a trace of Linda yet. Or agent Cooper, for that matter.

reply

Cooper won't be Cooper when he remembers who he is. It wouldn't be realistic for him to shuffle off the Twin Peaks looking for coffee and cherry pie.

reply

I don't need him to be exactly the same. But getting out of that comatose state would be nice.
