Maybe I am wrong, but when reviewing episode 22 of season 2, Eckhard calls Josie. When he puts down the phone, the woman who is accompanying him speaks I think Russian...but what does she say???
(sorry for my bad English, I am from Flanders...)
It's afrikaans.
"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this." -Dale Cooper

My apologies. I was not aware that afrikaans was a language. I thought you were being snarky.

What a lovely and grown up moment in the gazette :)
Yup, afrikaans, Jones later demands to talk with the South African consulate when she's arrested... According to the script what she says to Eckhardt is, referring to Josie: "I warned you not to trust her".
hehe everyone's so agressive... haha did you think he'd just made up a language, giving it the random name Afrikaans? haha nice. Peace out y'all
hahah oh my christ that's the hardest i've laughed at a non-booth post on this forum. "africaans!?! go back to klingon language camp you JERK!"
(that was my exact reaction when i first read the word so don't feel bad mayray)
Why the writers felt the need to give some kind of background to that brief and lame character? It certainly looks like they were hinting at something we'd know in the future about Jones; going to the trouble of having a couple of lines in that language, the mention of the consulate... The South African connection in season 3 sounds so awesomely interesting... Yawn!
I got it. She was an outsider who didn't belong in Twin Peaks. If she had a a thick Russian accent like a Bond villainess, that would have worked, too. Eckhardt likes his mistresses exotic and evil. You could argue that slag bitch Josie doesn't belong in wholesome white-bread Twin Peaks, either ;) (Boring, repressed Annie, however....)
Eckhard and Jones were villains, right?

On the realz. They couldn't have made Jones a Nubian princess AND had Agent Hardy, Internal Affairs, as a Scary Black Man. They would have looked like racist crackers. But I think you can count the "people of color" in TP on one hand. Maybe 2. Kind of embarrassing.
(EDIT: Unless you count the wrestling team. Mike and Nadine are the only white people on it.)
yeah, i guess it was to promote the idea of 'outsiders' in twin peaks...plus probably the writers way of making the show even more WACKY
I am going to PM MayRay (she wants me) and ask her for her phone number so I can speak to her in the language of love - afrikaans.

I've just made it this far in my re-watching of the series. The Jones character definitely seems like a loose thread. I assume the puzzlebox was some "if I die..." instruction, but Eckart seemed so confident that I have a hard time imagining he would spend the time on those contingencies.
And the scene in bed with Harry made no sense at all. Was she going for some creamed corn there? Maybe there would be some lodge connection that would be developed in the future.
If anyone can point me to theories/discussions of Josie's lodge connections, I would appreciate it.

YES!!! This didn't occur to me until last time around. Thomas found out Andrew was alive, like, 5 minutes before he died. NO way he could have planned the rouse to kill him with the box.
And Harry asks why Thomas would want him dead, Cooper answers-- confidently-- "sexual jealousy." Better question would be: why the hell would Jones fight this post-mortem prick-waving battle on his behalf?
Totally stupid, yet I suspend disbelief and am entertained by it.

Ben: "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight. All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."
Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"
"sexual jealousy."
You don't get it... Jones was a robot, as in "Ash is a goddamn robot!!"... She was programmed to do Eckhardt's will even after his death and the South African consulate is involved, they've been making replicant bitches for a long time... Evelyn, Blackie's sister, Vivian, even Louie (the Annoying Nexus 6 model)...
That's the only explanation for such plot-driven, empty characters... At least I hope it is...
