Much sadness. You will be missed.

I won't miss. I have a new scope with a laser range finder. 😉
As long as you don't get me with your death bag.
After being shot by Josie at the end of Season One, Good Cooper actually lapsed into a coma. Everything in Season Two, and Season Three: The Return, thus far, is Cooper’s coma-dream. I base this theory, in part, on the following observations/indications.
The One-Armed Man (whom I think is positive energy) has given several commands or pleas for Coop to “wake up” and “don’t die.”
Lyrics of some of the songs that have been played as well as song titles mentioned in the dialogue refer to dreaming/sleeping.
Then there is Audrey’s infamous audition for employment at One Eyed Jack’s. (That cherry stem knot still ranks as one of the funniest gags I have ever seen.) Now, if that kind of dexterity isn’t a male dream, I don’t know what is.
There is also the dream like quality and ambiguities in many of the scenes - especially in the Red Room/Black Lodge where time is ambiguous and everyone (everyone but Cooper) talks backwards (which some consider a symbol of tapping into the unconscious). It is here where Cooper is unable to keep his fear at bay and he finds himself being chased and running away from the Bad Cooper. Good Cooper’s courage is imperfect and, according to Hawk’s warning, Cooper is risking the annihilation of his soul.
Hawk tells Coop, “The Black Lodge is the shadow-self of the White Lodge. The legend says that every spirit must pass through there on the way to perfection. There, you will meet your own shadow self. My people call it 'The Dweller on the Threshold’. It is said, if you confront the Black Lodge with imperfect courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul.”
Cooper is in a state of cognitive dissonance. Cooper must accept responsibility for his affair with Carolyn and her subsequent death. He also must acknowledge his attraction to an under age Audry. Cooper will have to stop running away from, face and accept the Bad Cooper as a part of himself (after all, they do share the same fingerprints). This is the only way Cooper will be able to vanquish the Bad Cooper. Accepting and gaining control over his negative self will be proof of his perfect courage and will enable Cooper to come out through the other side of the Black Lodge into the White Lodge and love.

I'll just send James to sing you to sleep each night and to help wake you up in the morning and to provide ambiance throughout breakfast, lunch, tea time,supper, dessert and midnight snack.
