It was right in front of us. Mike explained it to our face in what seemed to be a random insert and we didn't see it/

 

"Trough the darkness of future past"

-Conviemce store/Lodge, 196?, Richard/Linda, loop?, 

"The magician longs to see

-(. . .? . . .Coop?)

"One chants out between two worlds, (because) Fire Walk With Me "

. . .Scream at end of Ep 18, . . . BAM!

 

 

 

Ep 17-18  assuredly  could be, or illustrate the  "Fire Walk With Me" verse.

 

Now this seems both "obvious" and a stretch, but is it?

 

Twin Peaks is about interaction the between two worlds. "ours" and the Dugpas and their other species, (not a retelling of the Wizzard of Oz)

 

So while I hate "theories" and the inspiring & resulting in self induldgent and delusionsal fan fiction they inspire . . . this is not a theory, it's analysis and hypotheses: 

 

1.  Why would Mike say it so blatently? 

2.  Future Past (1966?, click moving backward, etc)

3. Longs to see. . .(Coop brining Laura back? "what year is it" ? )

4.  Who else would/does "Fire" with with?

 

"I'll cut you with my death bag, you may THINK I've gone insane, but I promise I will kill AGAIN (futures past)

 

Why did Bob track down Laura as a girl? How did he know Leyland would be his/their father?

 

Why did he write Fire Walk With Me, and leave an elaborate crime scene after he killed her, but not Mattie or Teresa?

 

Why did he start to leave clues under the finger nails after he Mike killed several (number untold), before Teressa?  What he now wanted to spell his name after all that?

 

And why Teressa? Was it that she would uncover Leyland is cheating on his wife?  Why would Bob care? Like a divorce would stop him from crawling through Laura's window?

 

Or was it that start all the events up to EP 18? 

 

 "Laura is the one" as Log Lady said, and The Dream Child as TSHTP alluded to . . . That would/could be why she, Teresa and Mattie where different then the others and why Bob wanted(perhaps wants) her dead or alive.

 

While this seems like college poetry class of where looking to deep is encouraged, in this case it does fit, and makes sense for this seasons finale to walk through and show the Fire Walk With Me verse.

Master Lynch reversed engineered to a tee and then and "hid it in plain sight" while we where looking everywhere else

Sorry, the obvious explanation was earlier in the series.   "Your dharma is [hand gesture]".

That Mike says the verse, "out of nowhere".  In all the theories and "fiction",thats floating around, this hasn't been brought up. Probably because its appeared nonsensical, as I first thought.

Oh. What does "Out of nowhere" mean to you. I'm still confused.

Well. . . Beside the obvious  that the screen was  all black

Each time the full verse was spoken from FWWM to Ep 18, it was in direct relation to Bob.

Until this scene.  So why would Mike say it?

I'm proposing the verse has been misinterpreted until that scene.  And that from that scene on, we seeing the specific events. verse is about, (and probably just the beginning of them).   

Then there is ample evidence, typically subtle,  to support this all through all seasons, FWWM, and TSHTP  that what has all happened was to carry out/follow/fulfill  the verse (I just don't wanna use the term "prophecy")

For example, asking  "Is it future, or Is it past" . . .  is way to coincidental to dismis as a mere coincide

The one thing I get from that video clip is how optimistic the actor is saying those lines and how great a performance it is. For me the subtext was like he was saying saying that something great was going to happen to Cooper.  Very powerful moment and performance.

But it's not mere subtext, or even subtext, or just a chance to demonstrate delivery. 

Where do you not see the correlations and formulas

. . .   So you don't see the coorollations and formulas.

Where you up all next night when Gordon said "He's dead" wondering what he meant
