Nicely put and Henry Miller is one of my all time favorite authors!

I don't think Coop was really asking what year this is, it was more rhetorical. I felt he had just realized the year wasn't what he thought it was. It was a gestalt ah-ha moment. 

For people who feel they were ripped off by this season, why did you watch it? 

If anyone has seen Lynch's art, you would understand that this show was a series of abstractions. A virtual moveable feast. That is why things are not resolved or have to be. I imagine people said the same sort of things were said about the impressionists and Picasso..."that's not how a tree looks," "people do not have noses sticking out the side of their heads," and so on...  

Just like the first seasons gave license for television creators to be more free form and there is really no need for story lines to be so  linear. How Henry Miller was writing  in the 1930s-David Lynch is doing with his art today. 

                If this was a year or two after the first two seasons maybe it would of gotten a different reaction from me.  But to hear that this show is coming back after 25 years gives people the inclination that Lynch wanted to resolve certain arcs of the original story.
