[QUOTE=Splarg!;52645693][sp]Not surprised that the ending was confusing but I was really surprised that we didn't get any more information about Audrey and they didn't do anything else with Shelly and co's story.[/sp][/QUOTE]
[sp]My interpretation is that they pretty much wrapped up everything with Audrey. If you look at it symbolically, she's a damaged person who hit a dead end in her life. She tries to maintain her old self with lip, another relationship, and her former "dance", but she always gets hit with reality. Her lip is just a front to hide her genuine fear, anxiety, and depression, and it's no longer as effective in manipulation. Instead, she's being manipulated. She wants out of her current relationship, but also feels like she needs this person to function, and that's partially because this guy has set manipulative hooks into her. The most notable hook I saw is that he will literally withhold information and constantly leaves her emotionally stranded, defaulting to putting some sort of idle trust in him. And finally, her dance has all eyes set on her. She returns to a former feeling from her youth. It's dream like and surreal, and that leads me to believe the whole dance was a symbol instead of reality. Her dance abruptly ends when she realizes who she really is at that point, and she says "What?" to sum up her confusion of how she went from Point A to Point B. Paired with the fact that she seems to have been raped by the doppelganger Coop, her life is ruined and not going anywhere. She lost the control she had in nearly all of her ways.[/sp]
[sp]My thoughts on the ending: Sarah is possessed by an entity (possibly Judy) that wanted Laura's destiny to be fulfilled as it leads to the destruction of Bob. Cooper undoes that, and so the entity becomes livid, causing Sarah to pummel Laura's photo and seemingly ripping Laura from Cooper's hands, only to find that it's too late. Cooper broke the timeline, meaning Bob is probably still at large.
This timeline is different, but does link up to the original timeline in certain ways. Laura may have changed her name, repressed her memories, and "lost her horn" as shes living out the days she wasn't necessarily supposed to with all the pain and darkness she's accrued over the original timeline. Because she wasn't killed, none of it was released. She didn't make it to the white lodge. Everything is fucked.[/sp]
has anyone noticed how in the credits for the last ep, right as Diane's name hits the top of the screen, the credit for Sarah Palmer overlays on top of it? could be another one of those errors but considering it's over Diane specifically and no one else...
Credit to Lynch and Frost for doing such a ballsy ending tho. They could have easily just resolved everything nicely and pleased everyone, but instead they threw something totally out of left field and shocked everyone. I understand why so many people are mad or disappointed, but I loved it.

Boy this character really came and went
Lynch is so fucking good at catching and translating through film this dreadful sense of having a nightmare. Ending reminded me a lot of Lost Highway.
Wow, [I]wow[/I] that got fucked up quickly.
[sp]Seems like, in the process of attempting to save Laura, which would prevent -a lot- of horrific shit from happening, Coop blew it and ended up in another timeline, seemingly fused with his doppelganger (His mannerisms seem to be a perfect middle between regular coop and booper.) However, this isn't a small tangent timeline, in which minor things are different (As described on the website earlier) but a complete other reality where things are just wrong. It isn't until the very end that Coop snaps out of it and realizes what is going on, hence his and Laura (Now -actually- Laura palmer, not just this facsimile) freakout[/sp]
What if cooper [sp]sent Dougie 2.0 to be Coop and went home to Vegas to replace Dougie[/sp]

"The show didn't end with 100% closure with a nice bow on the top therefore it's shit."

I was honestly like this at first but I think it was honestly just shock, now that it's started to settle in it's really starting to grow already. I've re-watched the final two parts and the ending especially is deeply unsettling. I love it, only Lynch's work has the ability to make my skin crawl.
Just finished it with my girlfriend. I loved it, whereas she still needs some time for the lynched to settle in: "I don't even know if I hate it. It's like, I feel dead inside."
Edit: [sp]I'm curious if there's more Buddhist themes in the show beyond the Diane tulpa, and what it means.[/sp]
okay that was fucked but also [sp] Freddie destroying BOB orb with his Saitama ass strength was the coolest fucking thing ever[/sp]

Forgot about Bowie.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;52650334]Well, not really. Yes and no. There's footage from Fire Walk With Me with him in it, but he wasn't actively involved in The Return during production. You might as well say they forgot [sp]Pete. [/sp]
They got a really good Phillip Jeffries impression for the show, though.[/QUOTE]
What about Frank Silva and Don S. Davis?
At last, I understand everything. I am no longer lynched.
The lynching never ends.
I honestly have huge problems with the overall work now that it's completed. The amount of red herrings, abandoned plot threads, and actually random, unforeshadowed events ended up creating a mess that feels like if I turned a movie off 40 minutes in. I love David Lynch and am a huge fan of his films, but in my opinion he ultimately failed to create anything more than a collection of scenes, no matter how great those scenes were. As a viewer emotionally invested in the overall themes at hand, there was simply no payoff, good or bad. I wouldn't have even had a problem with the overly shocking out of left field finale if it was anything more than a [sp]REALLY uncomfortable sex scene and half an hour of driving.[/sp] If that was his point, then bravo I guess, but I'm extremely dissapointed that a director with such skill at creating emotional catharsis chose to end his greatest work entirely nonsensically. You can call me "Lynched" or whatever, but he's never done anything with such overly bleak nihilism (besides maybe Inland Empire) and arguably even disdain for the audience. I am frankly completely dissapointed.
To be honest, didn't Lynch specifically directed scenes while Frost was the one who basically was left to try to make sense of them?

The ending was literally a cliffhanger for another season of stuff.

What about Jack Nance?
[QUOTE=Anotherwall;52650781]What about Jack Nance?[/QUOTE]
The best part of S3 is that [sp] Pete finally got to go fishing. [/sp]
Is it possible that more scenes were filmed and were cut? Fire Walk With Me style, except the footage would actually fit.
So uh... FWWM 2: doppelganger boogaloo?

Dick Laurent is dead.
I really don't get people who are complaining about the finale. What did you expect? David Lynch's most popular and best loved film is a mindfuck with no clear ending or meaning - people still debate the meaning of it to this day (I'm talking about Mulholland Drive here). What makes everyone think you're going to be able to decipher 18 episodes worth of content in a few days? Let it simmer for a while, I'm sure in a few years it will sit better with everyone.
If you honestly expected Twin Peaks to be wrapped with a neat little bow then you're an idiot, quite frankly. This is the man that does things like this quite frequently:

EDIT:
I still think Parts 8 and 16 are some of the best episodes of any television program ever, the finale was good but nothing can beat those too. Part 8 was just amazing. a straight 10.
