I mean, this reaction is way too glib to be worth responding to. But I will say that maybe Lynch painted himself into a corner on this one. He brought in a lot of stuff and deepened the universe quite a bit, but then everyone watched the whole time waiting for it to click and it never really clicked. How can we admire something that doesn't ever consolidate itself to our common understanding?
THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF SURREALISM.
Good luck trying to consolidate any of Dali's painting into a common understanding.
Ha! I'm totally into it. Exactly as it is.
We can give everything over and sometimes it isn't enough, all we get is lost. Fix your hearts or die (not you guys, my fellow forumnistas, rather thou, royal spirit, sojourner of dream-life).
I can't like this remark enough.
I am surmising that Laura/Carries final scream after hearing her name was a call to the evil in the house. Laura is the one.....to destroy the mother???? The fact that the house responds is interesting and then we reflect on what Laura is whispering to Coop. So yes most likely the final dossier will answer our questions. I'm just thinking the ending did open the possibility for continuation.....
We saw big bad BOB get whacked like a freaking tennis ball in living color by corny British superhero in training Freddie.
Mother/Judy is going to require bigger guns. And I think she's quite real at least to Lynch. Not a comic book character.
I was disappointed that there wasn't more clarity to the ending, but I think this is the beginning to a follow up project. It appears to be a setup for either a film or a 4th season now that many of the characters we know are in the same place with the potential conflict between good and Judy still looming. I was expecting that to happen, but once it got to be 30 min left, I knew it would not be the case.

And that last few seconds of black, after the screem.
no, no, No, NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I don't know if. The story-telling is over, but the ending drove home to ME that the story is not OVER.
Actually, most of Dali's surrealist period is easily explained. The entire class was inspired by Einstein and relativity. Thus, the Persistence of Time. It's ALL about relativity.
A season 4 is possible. That helps me believe that everything before episode 18 was not just a dream.
This is all still quite raw, some clever people will make sense of all this and provide evidence. In the meantime I recommend watching Inland Empire.

All still quite raw. Thank you for saying what I have been failing to express.
I am going to give Inland Empire a try. But not right now, not yet.

You missed the point I was making. I study art-history at University, and have looked at Dali closely. I wasn't talking about "what does this mean and what does this mean" etc. Also, to reduce Dali down to that single sweeping statement about all of his work is absurd. He'd have laughed though 🙂

Or is it? A person has a pretty good theory out there on one of the threads.... the Coop that went with Diane was the Richard Coop created by the seed.... that is why Diane was not comfortable and knew something was off similar to her kissing bad Coop and just knowing. Could the real Coop be the coop that went home to his family in Las Vegas to begin the happiness he so longed for and deaerves? Leaving Richard Coop to deal with the ever looping pergatory of the lodge? He did say he understood what the giant was telling him and if so is it not plausible he made a decision to end it and to enjoy his life? The person points out that in the episode real Coop does not wear the badge pin in his lapel and the richard Coop does and when he walks thru the red door there is no pin therefore that is the real Coop? Interesting theory!
I mean, Dali himself said that his Surrealist work was "to create the iconography of the interior world and the world of the marvelous".
This itself isn't a definite communal understanding of his works, it explains part of influence and his coherence when painting. This doesn't necessarily mean that there is one over-reaching concept behind all of his works, they all have their own inspirations and messages. Take Mannerism for example. It is impossible to consolidate every Dali painting to the same explicit meanings, some things will fit, others won't, exactly like TP. Of course, there are themes and symbols, as there is in Twin Peaks, but in terms of the overall content of the paintings themselves... (refer back to the OP I replied to and my reply) This is the point I am making. Relativity plays a huge part in Dali's work, but Dali's work is not relativity. This same concept can be applied to Twin Peaks and how it has ended.

I was saying "NOOOOOOOOOOO" too. All the driving was just making me crazy. Stop driving and get down to business!

OMG RIGHT?!
I was banging my head on the arm of the couch (luckily its padded).
I'm wondering if that frustration with all the driving was our subconsciousnesses telling us this is going to end badly. And before people start pistol whipping me for saying "end badly," I am referring ending badly for Cooper and Laura and whatnot. Not for the finale to be a bad ending. I am still on the fence about that.
Cooper is aware of the impossibility of saving Laura. Maybe it's possible to save Laura in the world of Twin Peaks, but as we saw with the infinity symbol that Philip shows Cooper, reality will just splinter and there will be another reality where the dark forces win by killing Laura. The giant warned Cooper in the first episode, remember Richard and Linda, two birds with one stone. Could Richard be the Tulpa he created with the seed? Cooper knew if you tried to save Laura that it would shatter reality, so is it possible that our real cooper was the one who walked through the red door in Lancelot Court, and by creating Richard, he killed two birds with one stone. It's basically exactly what bad coop did, create a tulpa to take his place and the time comes to be sucked back into the real world of the Black Lodge. It's possible that our beloved Cooper is finally able to take a retirement, enjoy a happy loving life with the family, and his tulpa is the one burdened to fight the Black Lodge for eternity. Richard reminds me a lot of a tulpa. Dougie was made from bad Cooper, and he had a lot of bad qualities, but he wasn't an evil person. If Richard was made from good Cooper, he would have a lot of good qualities, but he wouldn't be entirely good…
