I've made a psycho call to the woman I love, I've kicked a dog to death, and now I'm going to pepper spray an acquaintance. Something... I mean, what's happened to me?
Definitely deflated by the ending. But I kind of like the confusion and anxiety it left me with. I would have enjoyed a neater, more fan-servicey finale that gave satisfying answers to all the questions (especially with Audrey), but Lynch always eludes me in the end. I won't know what I think about it for a month or two. Initial reaction is certainly pretty negative. Loved episode 17. Might have to look at 18 as a post-script.

Old Town Road to EGOT

I'm watching that Julee Cruise performance again and I was about to say that it took place in the Roadhouse without touching on Audrey at all, but actually it doesn't even take place at the Roadhouse. It's just in front of a red curtain. In the Red Room I guess?

kinda how i feel
just go on thinking of ep 17 as the actual end
ep 18 is if they decide to make a new season then u can care about it
maybe
i dont know

The way I see it, the reason 17 and 18 are two episodes and premiered together is because they had to split it in two in editing. 17 ends really abruptly pretty much in the middle of a scene so I imagine it was supposed to lead right into where episode 18 starts but they just didn't have enough time and instead gave it its own episode.

The woman who answered the door gave the name Treemond which is the same as the lodge resident. I wonder if she's the same actress who played the replacement in the season 2 episode.


Audry was in the nuthouse.

Diane and Cooper's alternate reality selves are Richard and Linda. Diane forgot herself, Cooper didn't

WRT Audrey: what had it to do with anything? She being mad and became pretty clear in here scenes, especially the whole coat thing and Audrey's dance.

I don't see the connection. Someone suggested all of this was in Audrey's head. But why didn't she insert herself in it in a central role?

And about Richard and Linda: yes, it why did Dale already got reminded about those names in the lodge? And why are those names important to begin with.

i have absolutely no fucking money

quote:

There is no loving way Lynch will get away with the way he ended this show. Lynch hasn't made any movie since decades, and I think this was the last TV show he has made.
I'd be surprised if Lynch will get financing for any other TV show anytime soon. The way the show ended was just a loving horror.
It is a complete humiliation and disregard of the viewership. Sad thing is that Lynch mocks those few fans that held up to him till last.
Lynch was ready to score in the grand finals and he hosed up bigtime.
Its just sad.

quote:

This excursion and revisiting of the show was utterly loving pointless. Terrible ending, hundred plot lines left unanswered. Never will be answered. A book? Like he's going to spill everything in a book.
I sat through 15 episodes of filler and thought maybe the last three would close the loop, but it fails hard.
Nothing about this season makes any sense to make it worth watching at all. This show is a mere shell of its former self and what made it great to watch in the first place.

quote:

I feel completely trolled. No benefit of doubt for Lynch. No love for the artistry or anything... this was bullshit to me.
I had worries all season long but kept hoping it would come together. It never did. The first hour tonight was good and then we had like 47 hours of silent driving scenes and a mindfuck bullshit ending that's probably angling for another season. But I'm out.
I hope I can distance this season from my love of the original show and movie because I am not happy with what we got here.
I know I'm probably gonna get downvoted to hell for this because the general consensus I've seen on here is people have loved this season, but I feel like Lynch basically said FU to original series fans.

I mean 18 might have worked if they had a better atmosphere. It felt kind of boring and aimless. If they stuck with a more Fire Walk With Me oppresive atmosphere it might have worked better. Also I'm not sure the whole nuclear pain spirits, Palmers being cosmic forces and time travel and alternate plotlines poo poo added anything valuable. In fact I can say that for most of season 3

if the conclusion is really that "it was all a dream" then i'll be pretty disappointed but i do hope with some time to unpack everything some more interesting ideas about what happened will emerge. or maybe nothing happened and it's all bullshit lol

That was a pretty lovely non-ending. Looking forward to all the hot takes of "no, you're watching the show wrong" defending that episode popping up everywhere. 17 was a really good episode, though.

Maybe something will come of it, but I doubt it.

I think the fan freakout makes it all worthwhile. I'm pretty agnostic on episode 18, but not to the extent that I think Lynch betrayed me or anything. This is what he does.

Okay I don't get it at all. But I am starting to appreciate it. For some reason that scream in the end gave me the chills and the 'what year is it cracked me up'.

It was a rather boring final episode tho. Expected lynch to go off the rails completely, which he did, but in a explosive way so to say

phew, for a minute there i lost myself
So Chalfont/Tremond were Lodge spirits, making it clear that the Palmer house was still in the thrall of the Lodge. Laura hears her name, remembers everything and screams, shattering the illusion of that world/dimension. But then what?

Also still waiting on gifs of Sheriff Truman's hat getting shot like a cartoon.

I can see the argument that the whole show boils down to "this is a dream of Richard's", yeah.

The only problem with it is the end when Laura hears her name.

🚣RowboatMan: ❄️Freezing time🕰️ is an old P.I. 🥧trick...

I'm not 100% sure what to think, other than most of that driving could have been cut out, filled with at least SOMETHING more. 30 minutes to do the episode we saw, but use the preceding 30 minutes to show Dougie and Janey-E. Would have been totally fine with that. Oh no, Coop's either still in the goddamned lodge, or something WAY worse.

I really don't like this theory. It makes it feel like the entire show was a waste of time and I've never been a fan of "lol it's just a dream" type endings. Also Laura as a angel of goodness never really sits well with me
