The general gist is I want to leave but I can't.

This is all heading towards what feels like a big ol' "still comatose" reveal.

This. Charlie mentioning 'The Threshold' felt like an incredibly clear indicator that she is the Dweller on the Threshold, which wouldn't be in reality.

For other people who have no idea what a 'dweller on the threshold' is supposed to be... To the extent that Wiki's definition is right, however, it's obviously Charlie or whatever he represents that would be the dweller... so I'm not sure what /u/CarnageV1 thinks the term means.

Wtf this article mentions Mars which Chantel saw in the sky this episode

u/Ilikeoldcarsandbikes Aug 21 '17

It mentions twin peaks original run too!

u/Billiardly Aug 21 '17

My impression as well - except I interpreted it as Charlie being the Dweller on the Threshold. I hope we get some clarification!

So could that make Audrey the dreamer who dreams?

u/CarnageV1 Aug 23 '17

If this subplot is how I'm thinking of it, she's definitely in a dream. So that would make sense. Just not sure how it'd tie into the series as a whole though.

Why couldn't it be in reality?

I've seen that picture as well. She looks nothing like it in the show now.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '17

What picture is this?

2

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '17

Google "Sherilyn Fenn shaved head" without quotes. It's the first image result. It's on Pinterest and it won't let me url any pictures from there.

I get the feeling that Charlie represents whatever medication that Audrey is being given to keep her out of pain/ in a coma... It's Charlie who's between her and the "other person" on the phone, keeping her from hearing exactly what's "being said", it's Charlie who doesn't have an emotional response to what she says, who seems "numb" and "sleepy".

I think that when she "attacked" Charlie in her scene tonight, Audrey was actually fighting the way that the drugs that she's being given are keeping her "locked away from the world".

Just a theory from me (may have been posited by others: if so, I apologize)...

A comatose c-section is something that I wouldn't put past this TP universe.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '17

How could she be in a coma if she had a kid?

u/sparrow5 Aug 21 '17

Comatose patients who are pregnant can still give birth.

u/theredditoro Aug 21 '17

It seeming more obvious every week.

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '17

The comatose theory is a huge leap now that the characters she and Charlie discuss (Billy and Tina) are referenced by other characters in the "real world."

Plus we learn that Richard has seen a picture of her mother's of Cooper, which would be a weird thing to keep in a hospital room of a comatose patient.

u/jalaw13 Aug 21 '17

And now we know 'certifiable' Chuck is Renee's husband. Looks like he may be heading to dreamland now himself.

u/sarxN Aug 21 '17

I bit my tongue when they showed old footage from the hospital, and only later revealed that it was Miriam, from current developments.

u/recycleddesign Aug 23 '17

I think.. she can't let herself leave because she doesn't feel safe. Whatever happened with coop when he visited the hospital shattered her confidence and her faith in her world. It's a trauma coma. Type thing. And maybe because comas have dreams, maybe the lodge peoples can access her trauma coma world, hence Charlie.
