From reddit but a good theory i thoughtquote:My read of it: Cooper tried to change the timelines by saving Laura. He succeeded, partially: no one was wrapped in plastic when Pete Martell went out to fish. Score one for the FBI.

No Mods No Masters posted:It wasn't a dream; there were no questions left unanswered; it's just that love wasn't enough. To "save" Laura from death was like pushing a ball around the infinity symbol. Even if Cooper broke out of this new fugue, he would end up in another. Fugues within fugues, traps within traps, and lodge spirits harvesting their garmonbozia forever. I hate to say it because it almost devalues it by calling it a genre work like that, but this season really cemented Twin Peaks as the greatest cosmic horror anything anyone's ever made.

Man I really wish episode 17 had been the end. I do like the idea of Laura being the dreamer (I still think people are reading too much into that line though) and the end being her waking up from the fake dream world, so if there is an explanation to be found somewhere, I hope it's something like that.

People are one hundred percent reading too much into that line. The ending didn't mean that the loving series was a dream.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:So I guess he ended up in 89 again? An alternate 89, maybe? Not that this means anything but when he was driving around Odessa there was a post 2000s white dodge pickup sitting at an intersection. I took note because I was wondering what year it was long before Cooper was. Also there was 0 cellphone use from anyone going on in ep 18.

FalsePriest posted:From reddit but a good theory i thought I like this a lot. Basically good old naive Cooper thought he could fix everything, and ended up loving things up even more, just like when he originally went into the Black Lodge. He basically goofed so badly he glitched out and crashed the universe.

Well that was a ride. But I'm going to vote for the multiverse approach. -Two Dianes, "Hey I just saw that black cat a moment ago..." glitch in the Matrix -Wakes up in a new motel to get into a different car, and maybe a different state -Very calculating Coop who doesn't even remark if the coffee is good or not Seems like Laura was ripped from one timeline to another and had her memory damaged in that movie drama fashion where it takes a keyword/visual to remember who you were. I only assume that because the howling scream at the end made me think she remembered dying in that house. Not what I wanted in an ending, but I enjoyed it.

I originally hoped Coop wouldn't come back because it would feel like a copout to have everything end on a "Coop solves everything and wraps everything up" note. Glad to see Lynch was one step ahead of me. God that was amazing.

Not the series, just the latter half of episode 18, is the going theory. You're doing a really bad job of defending the show btw, just going "actually it was really good" in one line posts over and over again is not going to convince anyone, sorry.

I imagine Cooper asking "what year is it" is more of a rhetorical question, really. He probably knows there's no satisfactory answer. The given answer probably would have been, y'know, 2017 or whenever the rest of the series took place. But that wouldn't have meant anything.Low Desert Punk posted:ok, but consider this: it was really good I mean yes but generally it's a good idea to give some reasoning why you feel that way

I liked that the new Dougie tulpa waking up had that totally gormless "Where am I?  " delivery. One more completely different character for MacLachlan to play, even if very briefly. What's that, four? Five? Three different Dougies.

I think Lynch was one step ahead of everyone. You get so used to seeing lodge beings over the course of the series that you get lulled into a sense of comfort. The finale at last rips that away, reminding you that these are infinite beings and humans are at best their toys and at worst their cattle. Booper was an ant compared to Judy, and BOB was just one of her trillion eggs.  it owns

To anyone canceling: you still get a full month's subscription. When you cancel it should say the final date you can watch stuff, it won't cut you off right away. Depends on when you paid. Anyway I'm feeling confused and deeply anxious, which is... kind of what I wanted?? So it's a win for me.

Nearly every episode had some reference to dreaming. Clearly Lynch/Frost meant something by it.

I'm usually really dumb at following this show but the last two episodes made more sense to me than most, like episode 8. I definitely thought the same thing as the "Welcome to my nightmare" theory person from Reddit right away. I should get myself checked if Lynch made sense to me.

I disagree, it would have been a good loop if he had. Redeem his failings from season 2. The Spirits of the lounge, to me, were just extensions of human emotion. Bob was strongest in Twin Peaks because of the unchecked evil that existed there. The giant was an extension of Cooper's goodness and Laura's inherent goodness. She was killed and he failed to stop evil in episode 2 and suffered 25 years of spending time with backwards talking weirdos. Turning them into Lovecrafting god horrors is just dumb and I don't think that's what Lynch did.
