Dougie Jones may be a man of few words, but he has sparked plenty of discussion online, despite being sucked into the Black Lodge in episode three – thanks to DoppelCooper, who ostensibly would have returned to the Black Lodge if Dougie hadn’t have been “manufactured” for this purpose.

Dougie is a classic Lynchian character (comparable to Henry Spencer in Eraserhead), but that doesn’t make him any less of an enigma, so Lindelof asked the panel for their thoughts on the short-lived appearance of the gold-jacketed character.

While many of the cast members appeared suitably stumped by the question, Naomi Watts approached the microphone to share her “hot take” on Dougie, which was that “he’s hot.” But it was Kimmy Robertson who delivered the perfect response:

“If you ever meet any families who live out in the suburbs, it’s very easy to slip through the cracks and only say one word a month without anyone noticing. And what wife wouldn’t like that?”

Ahhh, home sweet suburbs!
