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'm not paid to convince you the show was good. I just think it was good. gently caress off with your bad attitude.

She doesn't have a completed IMDB page and she isn't the singer from Chromatics either :v:

I guess this was her only credit to date?

In a way Laura got the happiest ending out of anyone. She at least can comprehend some small fraction of the profound time and reality shattering crime that has been committed against her very soul.

If only we, in our blissful ignorance, were so lucky

Maddy died there, not Laura. She died in the train car.

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.

:cthulhu: it owns :cthulhu:

I dunno man. I feel like this wasn't spooky enough, oppressive enough or just plain atmospheric enough to be a proper cosmic horror story. Most of it was mundane like car rides, coffee and sweeping. Like 80% of it I'd say

Personally I think Lynch having complete creative control made this slightly worse as an experience than if he'd had someone to tell him to rein it in, but I'm glad he got the chance to go as buckwild with it as he could have ever wanted to. It resulted in incredibly high highs, but also really low lows, with a pretty low amount of personal satisfaction given how much stuff happened. I really, really enjoyed it and I think Season 3 was a great experience but I definitely have no desire to rewatch it.

No, he runs across a bunch of cars to get to Lula and sings her "Love Me Tender", finally, implying that they're immediately getting married because Sailor said he'd only ever sing that song to his wife.

It's almost as if the mundane is better at creating a sense of horror than the lurid. It's almost as if this is the obvious thesis statement of Lynch's entire career 🤔

I explained how I think the ending made sense and said it was great. You're contributing just as little, by your own metrics. Again, gently caress off with your bad attitude.

Really the only thread I wish was tied up was the goofy bleeding guy in the jail cell. I think it's incredible that they left Audrey screaming "WHAT" in an ambiguous white room.

Audrey's story in S3 is Laura's in miniature. The end of the road for a human in the Twin Peaks universe is a screaming moment of realization of how unspeakably hosed you are.

The silent Rancho Rosa/Showtime logos at the end of 18's credits remind me of 24's silent clock from whenever a major character died.

As evidenced by the mundane series finale of Twin Peaks in which the protagonist goes back in time across spiritual dimensions

Completely disagree. Lynch can be unnerving but for the most part here I'd say he wasn't. Watching Ed play with fire Audrey scream at her husband wasn't to me. Maybe you wake up screaming in a cold sweat when you have nightmares of dudes having coffee or sometimes you remember rode roadtrips can't stop shaking. I am not one of those people
