So I think the implication is that even while he's been fumbling around as "Dougie", Coop was still in there somewhere processing things like the normal Coop. He just needed something (electricity apparently?) to snap him back to Coop physically.

It looked like he pulled some hair and gave it to the one armed man. Yes, this is most likely the seed (or the hair combined with the pearl thing he left behind when he fizzled out of existence in the lodge) to manufacture another Dougie Jones/tulpa for Janey-E and Sonny Jim...hopefully one that is not as much of a dbag as the previous Dougie seemed to be.

Diane has been a tulpa the whole time we've seen her. Her "I'm not me! I'm in the sheriff's station!" could link her to the eyeless woman that is in the Twin Peaks jail. That character is credited as Naido...which is eerily close to Diane backwards. So a theory is she's the real Diane. Agreed that ":-) ALL" meant kill them all.

I think both of those are right about Audrey, but still trying to figure out what's really going on there. Pumped for the last 2 parts this Sunday.

Since this is called The Return Season 1, do we have hope there will be a season 2??

Even though repressed he seems to have been fully aware and able to retain memories of what he did/saw while functioning as Dougie.

Also there's a reasonable chance Cooper was already aware of Dougie and his position with Janey-E and Sonny Jim before going through the socket. He was able to view Mr. C driving from the Red Room, so he may have also been able to observed/know every other action of Mr. C and other things going on while he was trapped, which would explain why he seemed to already know who Richard was when talking to the Fireman in Ep 1.

He could have glimpsed that at any time while as Dougie. In any case I think that was mostly just meant to demonstrate that he still has his full FBI skills.

A small lock of his own hair.

Yes I thought that was what was implied. Cooper himself isn't going to end up with them.

My take was that she seemed to be newly remembering and emotionally responding to the rape immediately after receiving the text, so the "all" was a trigger by Mr. C to remove a block he had placed on some of the tulpa's memories of what happened to the real Diane. She was also able to remember and send Mr. C the full set of coordinates, the last part of which I think was previously blocked in her memory (and had appeared blurred in her view of the arm photo).

Whatever is going on with Audrey she doesn't seem to be in a normal coma. I think it's more likely she was likely trapped somewhere lodge-like by Mr. C after he raped her.

Most of what we are seeing may also somehow be the experiences of a tulpa Audrey created by Mr. C since she and Diane had similar experiences with him, and (I think?) Audrey also said something to Charlie about not feeling like herself echoing what tulpa Diane said.

Seems unlikely since it looks like every plot line is about to converge in Twin Peaks in the finale (I think Mr. C is looking for the Mother/Experiment which is possessing Sarah).

Also the title of the new Frost book doesn't make another season seem promising : (

I am still holding out hope for another movie of some kind.

My guess is Lynch/Frost end it in the finale.

President of Showtime, David Nevins was on Andy Greenwald's podcast - https://www.theringer.com/2017/8/24/...-peaks-podcast

He said the ratings were lower than most of their shows but the subscriber increase linked to Twin Peaks was much higher so they might be willing to do more episodes.

No posts on the night of the finale? I gave up on this season as clearly many people did

This thread is typically dead the night of, check back in a day or two

I had to stay up for it.


What a fantastic 18 hour film experience this has been!


Now I can't wait to watch this on blu-ray eventually.

we got like 1 hour of audrey scenes that were completely worthless this season lol

I'd like to leave it at the wonder of it all which culminated with her in the road house and then something somewhere in part 16.



but

LOL at anyone expecting resolution with David Lynch.

My GF and me loved this like nothing else.

So was that the City on the Edge of Forever violation of the space-time continuum? Cooper rescues LP from her death thus butterflying the entire TP universe?

No Audrey resolution?? Sad!!

yeah, wasn't expecting everything to be wrapped up nice and tight, but disappointed with no Audrey.

That was worth waiting 25 years for.

Just for fun according to internet Twin Peaks geniuses (not the showmakers), the parts of Twin Peaks that mentions "Richard and Linda, 430" supposedly reference a song called "For shame of doing wrong" by Richard and Lina Thompson that runs 4:30 minutes

lyrics
"It seems like a lifetime since I saw you
Lover lover I've been away too long
When I see lovers holding hands and sighing
I hang my head for shame of doing wrong

Bus wheels spinning, song birds singing break my heart
Take me back to old remembered days
Remind me of the times we spent together
Times before we went our separate ways

I wish I was a fool for you again...."

Lol maybe ...

The only thing I didn't really like and didn't work for me was Eddie with the Super Green Hand. that REALLY came out of left field - and not in a good, David Lynch way.

I'm sure most will find the straightforward symbolisms and breadcrumbs but here are a couple things I noticed in ep 18 that may have been intentional. Behind the Judy cafe when Coop is searching for Laura there are Maersk shipping containers, the first boat to have the logo was the steamship Laura. Obviously he was going to stop in just from the fact it was Judys cafe with a big coffee sign anyway.

There seems to be some controversy over what year it is and I just assumed it was 2017ish due to the way Laura looked. I'm sure people can confirm year from makes and models of vehicles in view while driving and the Valero retail brand gas stations I don't think we're around before 2000 so that sets it well past the original series as well as gas being near $3 however I'm not sure what regular prices have been on the route they took and I imagine the stop/filling would be midway to Washington on the west coast.

Rewinding a bit, could the 430 mile mark have been the site of the original trinity explosion? That was the first thing that hit me when viewing but I don't know if that lines up with TP reality. But my mind did connect that because to make a fundamental shift to the TP world it seems to make sense to go to the original point we saw the evil being spit out eggs and stuff. Again knowing the year of the vehicle that Coop and Diane were in might shed light that they went from the 1950s to present at the 430 mark.

I think a lot of people could be right that no s4 is planned but I could see them changing that but I'm pretty certain that wasn't the original plan as others have stated. I did think a movie to follow this up based on the new FBI agent was in the realm of possibilities since that wouldn't require many of the original cast who would be hard to lock down again or have passed.

But how then to handle Bob?

As Cooper found out, punching out Bob - even with a powerful green fist - did not destroy the evil that is Bob.

Interesting take from someone who paid far better attention than me

Yeah that seems like inspiration.

Some very telling lyrics within the show also.

Chromatics "Shadows" has elements of the last bits. From Cooper, Diane (Richard, Linda), Laura to even Sara earlier stabbing the picture in a frame.

The giant mentions Richard and Linda in the first episode

Have to talk about Judy, now Jowdai...

In early FWWM script she was Josie's Chinese sister.

During this season, the actress playing Josie (who we actually see in these final parts) even published a very meta letter adressed to Lynch adressing this situation.

And something in Chinese:





A reddit (hot) take:

............................

A Lynch quote which I think sums up this very Lynch ending (kind of new beginning). Maybe 17 was more Frost's ending, but directed by Lynch of course:

I thought I was ok with the show going but after that ending I really want it to come back. Was blown away all season and now re-watching.
