Around the dinner table, the conversation was lively. Thank you but for now, the forum has been archived.
Ok, we only have two episodes left and, while the pace has picked-up somewhat, it's still Twin Peaks, so things move kind of slow (we were treated to two minutes of Audrey just shuffling around a room in Part 16).
So.... time to be real.... who and what do you think will not be addressed by the end?
Well, here are my guesses:
I hope we will be laser focused on the following characters: Cooper, the Mitchums and the "girls", the cast of characters at the TP Sheriff's station, the Blue Rose Task Force. We will see them fight, liberate or try to comprehend Mr. C, Mike, "Laura", Sarah Palmer, Audrey, Woodsmen, Mother/Experiment, Fireman.
I think a lot will be disregarded and we won't return to many, many characters. However, in ep 16, several plot lines and inconveniences were wrapped up so quickly it made my head spin (Richard, Chantal/Hutch, Cooper making a tulpa for Vegas). If there are any side stories in ep17-18, I think they will probably be addressed as quickly and definitively.
Good question, Matthew. Nadine and Dr. Amp? Ben and Beverly? Becky Burnett's fate? Miriam Sullivan's health?
Red moving drugs into Twin Peaks. The Las Vegas 119 lady and child.
Here are mine:
Who is the billionaire that funded the box.
Why did the girl in the roadhouse have an itchy arm.
What is the frogmoth (I think this will be a more symbolic thing).
Who or what is Judy.
Mike's true intentions.
These are things that probably aren't important in the grand scheme of things. Doesn't mean I don't want to know the answers though 🙂
I'm guessing Miriam Sullivan, Gersten Hawyard, 1-1-9 family, Bushnell and Anthony, Annie (which is already disregard), Johnny, Billy and Tina.
And I really hope to see more of Hawk, Bobby, Andy and Sheriff Truman, of course, Sarah, Dr. Amp, RR Diner, Mayor Briggs, Ben, Audrey for sure.
Here's what I think will definitely not be adressed: The analysis results of Mr C's toxic vomit.
I wonder if we'll ever learn why the airplane windows were flashing that 'code' (also the similar dots in the Frost/Lynch logo at the end of the credits). It's probably unrelated to the story, but was clearly intentional.
I suppose both 17 and 18 could be mostly action and narrative that coughs up some real answers. But I suspect that a significant portion of the finale may be image-laden in the style of Part 8. If so, this means we will be here for at least a couple of weeks collectively figuring out what we saw, what happened, and what was resolved (if anything ).
Lynch has his master tropes, but I think he lets his viewers write the story themselves. We are the dreamers and we weave the text without knowing the author's intent.
I'm not raising my bet on that we'll dwell any deeper into the Philip Jeffries situation. (What tea is he brewing? What blends is he using?)

I thought this was resolved over on Reddit - if applied to musical notes, and played on the Shakuhachi flute that Windom Earl played, it is the song that Gordon Cole is humming to himself on the plane

Not sure Showtime would countenance another foray into surrealistic cinema for an entirety of an episode like they did in Ep. 8 -- I think they gave Lynch his one episode to "play" with

That is probably true. I was thinking more in terms of 10-15 minutes of imagistic madness at the very end. But maybe not.
Showtime don't give permission to David Lynch, he has had full creative control over this project. That was the deal.
I am expecting everything to be disregarded. Or inverted, in some way.

HA. I keep thinking about that same thing.
