Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
How many times have I told you all, no wanking on the forum.
I thought you were going to say "this is what we do in the FBI!"

It was inspired by this classic comedy sketch scene 😀

I also think the last episode will reveal what Laura whispered in Coopers ear in the waitingroom:
"Bobs your uncle"
We have been presented with three mother-son relationships in a row: The 119 woman who wasn't really taking care of her son; "Mrs. Jackpots" who reconnects with her son thanks to Dougie Cooper; and Janey-E and Sonny Jim, who've perhaps grown closer through the ordeal.
Now which character has always been missing a mother??
James!! I'm all set for two hours of James searching down his wayward mother and then singing to her.
I've had the most awesome ride both with the Return and reading your comments on this forum. Haven't written much. Before it all begun, my friends were sure the new season would be shitty. I told them it won't be, but truth to be told, was a bit fearful, considering that David Lynch hasn't done anything new in ~10 years. But boy, were my expectations met and surpassed and then some. It's the most wonderful and strange thing... that I really wouldn't want to end.
The end draws nigh, however. There's been much talk about season 4 (I don't consider this a season 3 though, it's a thing of its own), or continuation in some form. That's something that Showtime has said will only be addressed after all the episodes have been shown. I believe that's something that also us as viewers should only debate after we've seen it all. It might be that the end is something along the lines of Back to the Future Part III, where things are really patched up and it feels like a real ending. I'm doubtful Twin Peaks will ever have an ending like that (and hope it won't) but if such a thing happens, we should let it end there.
Also, if David Lynch and Mark Frost feel that at the end of the Return, they've said everything they want to say about Twin Peaks, we should absolutely respect that. I would never want these two to work on Twin Peaks against their will NOR anybody else to do Twin Peaks. It really wouldn't be Twin Peaks anymore without our favourite dynamic duo. That said, and if that should be the case, I'd absolutely love Lynch & Frost creating something else, something completely new (but as exciting) together. That'd be EXTREMELY cool (and depending on the end of this season, maybe even cooler than further Peaks episodes).
I'm completely and utterly amazed by the mindblowing ability of the two to create such a unique story that everything (essential) in the story feels logical and acceptable once it happens and threads connect, but it's still something that nobody else could ever foresee. This tv-series is something else. It's sad that it hasn't gathered more fans onboard now to become a smash hit like the first season was back in the 90s, but I expect it will bump up to a status of a cult classic in years to come. Watching the Game of Thrones season 7 finale was a bit ridiculous in comparison – pretty much all the plot "twists" were obvious beforehand. Well, such is the case with most lesser tv-series. But not with Twin Peaks. No way. And I love it. And will be sad when it's over.
I have now complete faith in Lynch & Frost to come up with a worthy ending to this season. We shall see if it will also be the definite ending of the entire Twin Peaks. I doubt it, because Lynch's comments throughout the decades have indicated that Twin Peaks is something that remains and exists out there all the time. "We're just not watching right now", he's said. But right now, we are watching it! This is an exciting time to be alive and a time that I will surely remember fondly later. Luckily, the episodes remain. That's one of the reasons why cinema beats theatre in my books. 😉
All in all, I want to thank David Lynch, Mark Frost, Showtime for letting them do their thing, and everybody else involved in the creation of this masterpiece of epic proportions. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you!
Harry Passes away (of course, we only hear about this from Frank's end of a phone call).
Hawk finds Good Dale Cooper wandering around the forest of Twin Peaks - fulfilling the hope that if ever lost, Hawk would be the one to find him. Hawk fill Dale in on what they've uncovered over the past weeks.
Not sure how it goes down, but our hero Dale Cooper sacrifices himself in order to destroy Mr. C - therefore both are gone from "human existence".
BOB will somehow escape from Mr.C before meeting his demise and inhabit a new vessel... we won't know who that vessel is because it won't be important, except to understand that there's always going to be evil in the world.
DALE returns to the White Lodge and is now the heir apparent to the Fireman. It will also be revealed that The FIREMAN is in fact the late husband of MARGARET LANTERMAN, and Margaret has now joined the Fireman in the White Lodge, both ready to move on to a greater even more powerful purpose & dimension.
SARAH PALMER is in her bed, dying - the evil inside her never explained. She's visited by LAURA, who takes her to the Red Room and Sarah, Laura & Leland reunite and "move on" to a newer dimension at peace with each other. . . back in the Palmer house, we see the dead moth-frog creature on Sarah's bed - the one that crawled inside her back in 1956.
There's NO new Dougie Jones. While I'd like to think Dale is a man of his word, I think we've seen the last of Janey & Sonny Jim. I think MIKE has other plans for the seed.
NAIDO is not Diane - NAIDO is revealed to be AUDREY. I have no way of explaining how she ended up in this situation (especially considering she was clearly in the hospital after the bank explosion and was raped by Mr. C) but doesn't it make perfect sense since she's been trapped in her own world, seemingly in a dream-like psychotic state unable to cross over the "threshold"?
Final shot: Gordon Cole is sitting in his office... he spins around in his chair and stares at the large mushroom cloud poster behind his desk. He takes out his gun, shoots himself and *POOF* is whisked away a la Diane in Part 16. A final cliffhanger - was he a Tulpa all along?

Hi - please post more often! I think you expressed perfectly what many of us here think 🙂
I also think the last episode will reveal what Laura whispered in Coopers ear in the waitingroom:
"Bobs your uncle"
And Fanny's his aunt.
What I will not except is the "Cooper dying to save everyone" theory. Returning after 25 years to die? No.
Only thing I really want to see is an unannounced, surprise appearance by one or more original cast members. I'd really love to see Piper Laurie in any capacity.
I hope and expect that we will end with a shocking new mystery, telling us that last episode or not- the Twin Peaks story goes on.
It's going to be a two hour extended jam of "Just You, " featuring James Hurley with special guests Dave Matthews and Trey Anastasio. I can feel it.
Well said Pier! I think this is the first forum I've been on that is NOT contaminated with people calling each other "faggots" and "pussies." I think the fact that it takes a special appreciation of true beauty to be a fan of this show contributes to this friendly forum atmosphere as well. With that said, I've always been intrigued with the process of trying to understand what the lodge mythology truly is, both metaphorically and literally. I'm standing by my theory that the other dimensions are either an individual's subconscious or the collective subconscious of a group of people. I do not think it will have a "it-was-all-a-dream" ending, but I think it will be revealed that fragments of the show have been dreams, even some fragments that were thought to be occurring in the natural world. I've always felt that TP was more than just a dichotomy of good and bad spirits, battling balance over chaos. I have the feeling it will have a happy ending based on Cooper's extreme confidence last episode. He seems to know how to beat this thing. However it ends, I am confident it will not disappoint. The Return has been almost like a living thing itself. The show seems to eerily pulsate, expressed through its angular tempo. As we approach the end (and based on the tempo of the last few episodes), the heartbeat of the show is getting louder, faster, and more ominous. Can't wait for the post TP discussions.
I see there being a ripping good time of resolution and revelation. But not all. Enough to almost get that itch scratched, but a damn sight short of closing the book.
The jailhouse crew gets their soliloquy, probably a fearful whirlwind of action and consequence. Cole and Coop and Albert share a goddamn beautiful gaze at one another. And we cry for Miguel. Tammy's meddle gets our nods of approval and we rethink her impenetrable statuesque.
Sarah goes dark. We thought we saw dark. We didn't know the half. Mr. C is a cornered beast and his swan song is terrible and self consuming. Mitchums handle the otherworldly with typical street smarts and the confidence of men of means. Nadine hits the shit out of something with that shovel. And we applaud.
Laura finds peace. Laura breaks our hearts in her evening dress and laughs the relief of one who no longer has to fight. Just like she did in FWWM. Cooper can't live in this world anymore. He leaps down the rabbit hole in chase of demons and the innocents he led to destruction.
Not everyone wins. Triumph and despair come in equal measure. Burning questions are answered and left to hang in equal measure. And we are fuckin' thrilled!
Coop will go to the Dutchman's, he'll bust in and take out woodsmen with precision shots to their eyes, some will fall dramatically over the bannisters and down the stairs. He kicks down Annie, Diane & Audrey's doors. As they're all heading for the exit the Jumping Man appears, they have to have a high-jump contest, Coop looses but shoots him in the eyes. They escape and all get married.
I don't think it's gonna be a happy ending. At the moment you think all is fine and evering is restored in Twin Peaks we'll get a shocking cliffhanger. Trust me 😉
Agree. I think Coop will need to sacrifice himself to vanquish Mr. C.
I picture Coop & Laura (she's coming into play in the end) ascending into the White Lodge together... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It will complete the Cooper/Laura story line and give us some degree of closure. However it ends I'm going to be a puddle of tears 🙁

So well said. I'm having some anxiety this week. I feel as if a close friend is about to leave me forever. This show has crept in my mind, body & soul in a way that no other ever has.
