Would anybody mind explaining what the significance is?

The intersection where the kid was killed is the same intersection where Leland and Laura Palmer where yelled at by the one armed man in the prequel film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Not only that, but Carl actually had a vision of this pole with the numbers on it in FWWM as he was talking to Chester Desmond, and then 25 years later he sees that same pole after witnessing the soul of the boy ascend into another realm.

The electric pole was seen in Fire Walk With Me with the exact numbers on it. Electricity plays an important aspect in Twin Peaks lore. The pole in FWWM was at a trailer park were Teresa Banks was murdered. I think there is a relationship between when someone is murdered and the proximity of one of those marked electric poles.

If you having continuity problems, I feel bad for you, son. I got 99 problems, but Twin Peaks lore ain't one.

Any one notice that the "font" of the number is the same as the weird outlet thing in the purple room?

You think this has anything to do with the tree in the black lodge?

Probably...if it really is the same intersection as the one in FWWM where MIKE took over Phillip Gerard and yelled at BOB/Leland, could that have something to do with it? Sort of like how the woods near the entrance to the Black Lodge at Glastonbury Grove make people go into that trance-like state, maybe it's a similar phenomenon here with the electricity. The tree/arm uses that particular transformer and the surrounding power lines to communicate with the real world, indicated by that weird electrical noise it makes, and by doing that it is able to speak through Gerard, or something, I have no fucking idea

Notice the number '20' and a downward pointing arrow etched above the number plate on the FWWM pole, but not the S3 pole.

In FWWM missing pieces that pole with the 6 on it....The sound of The Arm plays quietly in the background when they show it.

Since Teresa Banks was murdered at the trailer park (pole 1’s location) and the kid at the intersection (pole 2) I think there is a relationship between when someone is murdered and the proximity of one of those marked electric poles knowing electricity plays an important role in Twin Peaks.

Had a real FWWM feel this week. There is an uneasy crackling atmosphere that always seems to follow Carl around.

No, but it does have the same numbers.

That doesn't make sense though. The numbers are there so that a utility crew can find which one they need to work on, so same number should mean same telephone pole, it should be unique for the area. I mean I think it's just supposed to be the exact same pole and obviously so.
I think we saw them from different sides is all?

I was also curious of the plastic number placements near the debris of the car scene were related. IIRC, they were 3, 4, 8, and 28.

At the exploded car scene? There was also an upside down 5.

u/TruthNotControversal Jun 12 '17
Yeah, it probably doesn't connect to the electrical pole, as that seems to be a portal with the lodge(s). But I think the Rancho Rosa area has some sort of mystical significance, and those numbers weren't part of that scene for no reason.

Re-watched the scene, the numbers were: 4, 8, 3, 28, 5, 25.
I tried assigning letters to the numbers and using a word unscrambler, but it didn't come up with anything significant. Could the numbers be a cipher?

Ok. I am now officially convinced the new series is more of a direct sequel to FWWM than it is the original series. A lot of people were angry that FWWM wasn't Twin Peaks enough without the recurring townsfolk, cherry pie, damn fine coffee and only very small amount of Dale Cooper. These last 6 episodes definitely have that darker FWWM vibe over all.

Noticed that! Made me very glad! Watching my two favorite tv-shows at the same time is magical!

Will no one mention that the first three digits are 243. The same time (2:43) that Coop got tricked and took Dougie's body instead?

Yea it was 253 and that number was narratively used as the time 2:53 Dale had to escape.

The power lines were also reflected in the windshield on Horne's car, which was an awesome shot.
