What...the...fuck.
I have no idea what just happened, but I think I liked it. Kinda like the last 45 minutes of Mulholland Drive.
And my heart skipped a beat when Trixie showed up. So great to see her back, if only for a second.

Absolutely love the David Lynch-ian vibe to this show! It works here.

I always watch this with CC on, I don't think I've ever rewound a show more times while watching to at least TRY and figure out WHAT. THE. FUCK. Was going on...
But I agree, I think I liked it. And I know I liked seeing Trixie again, and laughed out loud at the appearance of yet another Deadwood alum. I'm gonna shit my pants when Al shows up.
And next week, we get to see

So...does anybody want to even BEGIN to explain what they thought that was?
The only thing I'm sure of is Cissy seriously warped Butchie and herself by jerking him off during an acid induced trip.
The whole time John was giving his speech at the motel, after it was dark out all of a sudden-like, I was thinking "why the hell is everybody just sitting around with (apparently?) a dead guy sitting there?" Then it turns out something more was going on...obviously.

Loved this episode, really ties together a lot of the John quotes from the series so far.

And do dead guys actually look gray like that after rotting for who knows how long?

I watched it, but didn't have my full attention on the episoded. I'm going to rewatch it and try to make some sense of it. I know John laid out a lot of information and I want to make sure I can decipher it.

Here's the complete text of John's speech.
I don't know what it means, except it supports the theory that John is Jesus -- he refers to Vietnam Joe as Doubting Thomas, and all this "my Father" stuff sounds very Biblical. Though note that line about Kai helping his Father "dump out" implying that the Dream-John is the Son and Real-John is the Father, even though it seems more like Real-John is the Son and Dream-John is the Holy Ghost.

I don't think John meant that Cissy molested Butchie like some people seem to think. I think John means Cissy got Butchie hooked on drugs because he saw her do drugs when he was younger.
What or who is Not-Aleman?

Is Rollins the dead guy from the motel room that came on Barry's face?
John says "My Father runs the Mega-Millions." Is this maybe saying Barry won the lotto as some sort of payment for the crap he went through?
"In Cass's camera, Bill doesn't bump his head on the stairs." Bill never hit his head on the stairs, as far as we know, did he? It was just his wife I thought? Were the stairs he was on in the "dream" actually at the motel? Or were they just placed there in the dream?

So not-German?
The 2nd time John said "not Aleman," it showed a closeup of the guy standing next to Vietnam Joe - who was that? (he had on chains and a bandanna)
Then towards the end of his speech, it shows Mitch, Butchie, Shaun, Tina, and Cissy are standing behind Butchie and Kai (and dead guy). What's that about?

"You hurt my feelings gram, you did"
That may have been the worst delivery of a line in television history.
Besides the guy that was next to Joe, right before that the doctor was standing with someone I don't think we've seen either. I'll post some screen caps.
