Lots of people are looking for what will happen next or answers to unresolved elements in the series, but I don't see how there could ever be any more to add to where the ending took us. It seems like the perfect conclusion to what was started in Blue Velvet; i.e. an examination of the proliferation of evil lurking under the surface of ordinary small-towns. The way it got there used many devices, including the mixing of dream imagery and fairy tale, plus various mythologies which can be analysed forever and a day, but the end result was a resolute, cinematic, drive lasting eighteen hours whose purpose was to get us to a scream which articulates the real horror of modern life.
How can anyone expect to go back to what was before?
That could very well be. But I don't see how the questions are irrelevant. It's what we do here. They are all part of the process for many of us. It's nice that you have it all figured out. That's great! Not all of us are there yet or agree with your hypothesis.
Many feel the need to deepen our understanding. This is a very rich mine that can be be explored forever. And I, for one, am not sure "where the ending took us." There is so much more to discover.
Beige Chair is bang on!
The quintessential American home in the typically 'ordinary small-town' - but when you get there something - something is wrong.
You walk away, look back, and then it hits you...
There's always room for more, provided it doesn't become another run of the mill pot boiler.
There's plenty of material to go at, regarding Audrey, the fate of Cooper and Carrie, what's happening with Sarah and so on. Even more about the Fireman, the Lodges and the Experiment would be something worth seeing.
The stuff about small town life, though; I can live without that, it's been done and said now.

An update on Jerry's foot and James singing career are needed as well!
There is never, ever going to be any more.
Agreed, GoodCoop wiped out the Twin Peaks timeline when he prevented Laura from being murdered. Laura was the one and everything changed when her fate was changed.

Very good points, both of you.
Unless, of course, Frost and Lynch happen to meet someone like Annie Wilkes.
There is already "more" or else we wouldn't all be engaging in this conversation. 🙂
not needed....but wanted....and this is how they could do it:
There could be a mini-series, spin off or movie made for every plot within the Return story.
so much was left unfinished, and so much of that could be really developed further.
an entire mythology is already in place, and the Return's parts could be expanded upon.
More about the new faces at the Road house....the framework is all there....just flesh it out into its own story line.
James' story from 1900- to now.
of course Audrey's story needs to be told
the drug dealers and sparkle.
Lynch should start a Twin Peaks network and create multiple shows....
(now who's dreaming?) 🙂
When I first watched it, I desperately wanted more - if only to escape what I felt were some fairly grim conclusions. After a lot of thinking, I'm straddling the line. I can now read the finale as an elegant, if very indirect, conclusion with some hopeful threads - and I think I'm doing so honestly, without any large dollops of wishful thinking.
In other words, if I squint and look at it from just the right angle, I'm good with leaving it here and considering it a masterpiece that shouldn't have to answer our demands for something more reassuring. I also have to consider the possibility that if Lynch made more, he might drop us somewhere even more batshit. We might be begging to go back to the Odessa Universe the way some people now wish they could have Dougie back!
But to get this back on firmer ground: I don't think there's any such thing as pure art - totally immune to commercial factors and demand - in television. If Lynch is totally out of ideas or totally sick of doing this - or at some point too frail to work - that's different. But I truly don't believe he'd turn down an attractive offer for more Twin Peaks simply out of some high-flown notion that his vision is complete. Not buying it. So I think we just have to wait and see.
Any of you guys watched "The Prisoner"? The original version, that is.
Some good reading about the possibility of a season 4 and if its needed:

Precisely. In fact, I would say without a doubt this would happen. 😉
