OMG, tell me about it - I think that was Lynch fucking us all over, that meant nothing at all. Episode 8 was some wild shit for which I had little understanding. Read some views on it online, some may be true, but no one explains that evil fucker talking into the mic for the radio broadcast.
All that said, it was fun to watch. I take it a lot of what we see is the "machinery" of the Outside ( to borrow Bakker lingo for a minute ). And there does appear to be competing agencies ( more borrowing ), one for "evil" Cooper and one for "good" Cooper.
