Twin Peaks (ABC) TV Show • Page 61

I don't think the first book offered much insight into the ending lol but maybe there's something in there I didn't get first time through

 

Oh definitely, I'm not expecting solid answers but since I'm a fan I figured it will be an enjoyable read. One of the aspects I'm kind of fuzzy on is Judy. Was that her in the box in episode 1?

 

Proooobably.

 

Oh no it's definitely a fun time for the most part haha, worth the read.

 

Who was the dead guy in fake Laura's house?

 

Thanks guys. I have today off so it's probably a good time to watch Fire Walk With Me again.

 

I think if anything The Final Dossier may have some answers in it. Not all by any means but there has to be a reason it was timed to not come out until after the series was over.

 

I was losing my mind last night when everything was intersecting with FWWM, especially having just watched it last week. The shots of Cooper guiding Laura through the woods are a series highlight.

And her body disappearing. Hooooooboi.

I shouldn't let the uncertainty and creepiness of 18 overshadow the glory of 17.

 

I loved the way the old footage looked restored. So colorful

 

I was a bit too distracted by present day Sheryl Lee being dressed up as 1989 Laura to fully enjoy those scenes. The FWWM scenes with the music removed was really cool though.

 

That last scene destroyed me.

I really want more after that, haha. With this and Audrey's last scene it's too much.

 

The more and more I rack my brain over this ending, the more I love it

 

The more I read and think about it the more inclined I am to think the whole thing was Laura's dream, haha. The whole show makes a lot more sense through the lens of dream logic.

 

sometimes dreams harken a truth

 

one of the lyrics in that Au Revoir Simone song I mentioned yesterday, the one they performed at the end of part 9, is "it is always just a dream."

I'm ready to go full bore on this theory y'all

 

Big head Coop even says "we live inside a dream" in part 17.

 

This has just consumed my thoughts this morning with no signs of slowing down.

Also want to say how much I love real Diane's physical embodiment of the red room look with that red hair and black and white nails. Laura Dern was so fucking good in this thing (as she is in nearly everything, RIP Enlightened).

 

important resolution we did get:

-Ed + Norma 4ever
-Dougie returning to Janey-E and Sunny Jim
-Coop acknowledging that he didn't know if deep fryer oil would set off those bullets, which I am 100% sure is what every person watching this show was wondering at that moment.

 

Ive been trying to make sense of this a lot this morning as well, but mostly Ive just been sad that its over. Cant imagine a better season of TV coming about in my lifetime.

 

People are maaad at this on Facebook. I honestly don't know what people expected..

When I watch a normal Lynch film for the first time I often have no idea what just happened, there's so much more material to unpack here that I expected to have a ton of questions when it ended.

 

Of course it all ends with a Sheryl Lee scream. One more for the road.

Not surprised people are mad about this. There are always going to be people who go into Lynch's works not understanding what he's all about and not knowing what to expect. If anyone went into this finale expecting any kind of resolution, traditional or otherwise, there's really nothing else I can do except shake my head.

I can't wait to go back through the entire 18 episodes binge-style and see how it changes my perspective on things.

 

The people who don't like this are the same that don't like FWWM. They have the same tone.

 

Yeah totally. And given how important FWWM was to this series, like even more so than the original series was in a lot of ways, I'm not surprised they're reacting that way.

 

I dunno, massive Lynch fan or not, I can understand being disappointed with this ending simply because of where episode 17 was going. At this point, I honestly don't know what to think. I actually really enjoy everything that episode 18 set up, but I'm yearning for more. I never wanted a solid resolution and fully expected there to be some ambiguity but I did not expect this lol

 

I guess the biggest question is, if Coop knew that he saved Laura and watched Bob get hulk smashed, what WAS his next mission? What was he hoping to find or accomplish in the other timeline? Judy?
