Zaskakująca, mocna i przerażająca (mam nadzieję, że nieprawdziwa) analiza aktualnej sytuacji Coopera z WtTP.com. Długie, ale warto przeczytać:
Right before putting the fork in the electricity socket, Dougie/Cooper turned on 'Sunset Boulevard' and heard something like 'forget the car, you can get that old thing anywhere, get Gordon Cole'. On the contrary, when Agent Cooper proper returned, he did the opposite: Agent Cooper circumvented the FBI, did not 'get Gordon Cole' or forget the car, but happily got into his shiny new car paid for by the Mitchums, a mafia group, while leaving a note behind for Cole. If Cooper had waited for the FBI, the Blue Rose Task Force would have been notified(as per Cole's orders to Agent Headley) immediately and Cooper would have been able to communicate his situation with his newfound assertiveness and tell Cole that he was Agent Cooper proper and that they needed to get to Twin Peaks right away. Cole, who already knew from Truman that there were two Coopers out there, was just one phone call away from meeting Cooper in Twin Peaks via FBI private transportation from Vegas/Buckhorn to Twin Peaks. Nevertheless, Agent Cooper left Cole stranded in Buckhorn, staring at the machines like a zombie, very disturbed at what is probably the fluctuations of lodge/red room manifestations on all those machines, showing where reality and people are breaking down and changing; and now Cole can only say a couple words at a time, disturbed by what happened to Diane and trying to figure out what 'sheriffs station' means, probably Twin Peaks sheriffs station where Naido is held. We now know that Agent Cooper remembers everything from his time as Dougie, since he is still very close and familiar with Dougie's family and the Mitchums, so Cooper was conscious and acted himself when he saw that old movie and went for the electricity socket. When Dougie/Cooper saw the old movie and something 'clicked' inside of him when he heard 'forget the car, get Gordon Cole', etc., when Cooper heard this, I think many were suspecting that he then shocked himself in order to 'wake up', meet with Gordon Cole, etc. Disturbingly, this was not Agent Cooper's immediate intention: Cooper he did not join with Cole and the FBI and did not forget 'the car' bought by the Mitchums, but happily drove his car to meet with the Mitchums instead at the sight of jackpot's 'seven heaven', deciding to patronize mobsters and insurance fraudsters, while only leaving a note for Cole, which may or may not tip off Cole to meet him in Twin Peaks. Furthermore, Cooper said 'I am the FBI', which is a declaration that is equivalent to sidelining Cole and asserting his authority over the entire situation. This declaration of 'being the FBI', identifying the institution with your personal character, is something that a King or authoritarian might say in asserting their privilege of power to control the institution, above and beyond the rule of law, freedom, and rationality. This also resonates with the 'Denise scene' where Cole, who is 'old fashioned', was sidelined institutionally and under the order of a trivial boss who cared only about flattery(signaled by the flowers someone before him had brought in for Denise), caring about personal comforts/favors, how 'federal bureau of investigation sound, etc., thus forcing Cole to engage in flattery in order to get permission to take Tammy along. Flattery has no place in the proper functioning of an institution meant to produce universal conditions of law, freedom, justice, etc. for the entire society, and with this role the institution must necessarily have nothing to do with flattery or personal interest, 'justice is blind', etc. What is even more disturbing here is that Agent Cooper told the Mitchums, who are not 'traditionally welcomed by law enforcement types', that their relation with the law is about to change. Cooper is planning to 'be the FBI' and is he now telling mobsters that they are going to be friendly with power, with the law, namely Cooper as the personal embodiment of the FBI? What kind of law would this be, one of flattery and authoritarianism where a 'social club' of friends who help each other get very wealthy ignore the law and impose their rule over the land, even engaging in criminal activities(hits, racketeering, murder) like the Mitchums, whose relationship to the law is about to improve? Agent Cooper, like Denise, seems to be way too caught up here in people who have flattered him, made him 'feel good' with parties, girls, and gifts; so in other words, Agent Cooper forgot Cole, declared himself as the embodiment of the FBI, and then got in his brand new 'car'. Cooper was conscious the entire time and has learned from his time as Dougie, and liked it immensely, maybe now he is so tied to it that he will assert his private luxury group as rulers to continue his enjoyment. Cooper was even so impressed with the incompetent Fuscoes and the corruption at the Las Vegas police department, that it evoked in him the patriotic song of the US flag, as if his antics and dealing with mafia were a principle to rule the state. The same upbeat 'jazz' music plays for the Fuscoes that was playing for Dougie/Cooper at the breakfast table. Then when Cooper engaged the Fuscoes he began to get patriotic while looking at the flag, almost like he was relishing all his great 'jackpot' times as Dougie, then Cooper's desire was activated by the attractive woman in the red shoes, and he began to look at the electricity socket, the very thing that triggers him to wake up. So when Cooper saw the movie and heard 'forget the car, get Gordon Cole', did he actually remember everything he had done as Dougie, the mafia connections, parties, jackpots, girls, etc., and think to himself that if Gordon Cole comes by, all this will end, my 'seven heaven', money, etc., I had better wake up quick and make a power play before it is too late, get in the 'car' and forget Cole? Finally, we also had Ruby 'waiting for someone', like Dougie/Cooper was supposed to be waiting for Cole, but instead opted to crawl out into whatever crowd she found and take the 'shock'; and this scene was followed by the 'convenience motel' and the 'bosom woman' who opens the door there, the likely destination of Ruby after abandoning her dreams, what she was waiting for in favor of a random crowd. Cooper/Dougie scene where he went for the electricity was the same process, so will Agent Cooper be looking to go to the convenience store/motel? Just as Ruby gave up on dreams and went with whoever in the crowd was at hand, Agent Cooper is giving up on Cole and the Blue Rose Task Force, his old dreams of justice and community, and just going with whoever happens to be on hand thanks to his accidental embodiment in Dougie and 'viva las vegas'? Agent Cooper's future will be visiting the convenience store, turning the world into a buffet for himself and his personal convenience, taking whatever is convenient, at hand, without regard to dreams, love, justice, law, etc.? Cooper even disregarded Mike/Gerard and his instructions to take the ring, since he left it under the pillow, and was more concerned about Mike/Gerard making a new doppelganger 'seed' for him, the same way Dougie was manufactured in the first place. Mike/Gerard looked very disturbed at Agent Cooper's orders as if surprised and not fully understanding what Cooper was up to. Whatever Agent Cooper is doing, he is doing it himself, sidelining both Cole and Mike/Gerard, while siding with the Mitchums, and doing this with a goal we are not certain of yet.
The role of the ring here is important, Mike/Gerard handles the ring, which is used to institute order in the world, some kind of rule/law over the world, how the vortex/void will be managed by people with their dreams of love/justice, etc. which assert themselves from out of the depths of the void, regardless of it, since nature cannot sustain itself, it is split at a quantum level and needs dreams/dreamer, etc.. For example, Mr. C/BOB used the ring to submit Ray to his rule, end his story. Now there are problems with Mike, why he turns evil, etc., which I will not get into here, but he still trying to be good and defeat his problems as best he can, but is still reliant on Agent Cooper to institute 'good' here because of his limitations, so that if Agent Cooper were to trap BOB in the red room with the ring, then Mikes arm would secretly meet with not BOB, but a new law/world which is the source of garmanbozia and enjoyment. Nevertheless, if Agent Cooper is going to institute a new 'good order', law, justice, freedom, etc., then how is he going to trap Mr. C/BOB in the red room without the ring which asserts authority over those who bear it? Cooper left the ring under the pillow, could he be planning just to kill his doppelganger Mr. C and take BOB for himself, thus not needing the ring to trap BOB in the red room? Was it Agent Cooper all along who called Mr. C back in 'Darya's motel' and threatened him that he would 'be with BOB again'? After all, Agent Cooper originally engaged BOB himself due to his own failures, and he does not seemed to have addressed them, but rather seems to have intensified his old ways with a new assurance, one that even dumps Cole, the ring, and claims the FBI for himself?
This new Agent Cooper would be far more dangerous than anyone BOB has ever been with, due to his overriding pie/coffee/Dougie-Jackpot charm, ability to lead groups of people like the Mitchums who would otherwise be weary of law enforcement, plus his FBI connections, his influence could spread to the interior halls of the state, he could have Denise's job in no time......Maybe it is Cooper himself who is in the 'congressmen's dilemma', but instead of shooting the wife, will send a new doppelganger to Janey E, while he has BOB to himself, Cooper moving up to be Mr. C and putting a new Dougie in suburban zombie land to shore up his pie.....and where does this leave the role of people like Diane, Richard, and Mr. C, who have 'been to the convenience store and back' and may come to realize that nothing is worth anything there, could they play a role in eliminating this monster?
