- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 พ.ค. 2018
- In this analysis episode I go over Twin Peaks’ season 2 and season 3 finale.
I’ll cover the similarities and what it would mean for Dale Cooper’s future. Could there be a good and happy conclusion for Cooper? What does it all mean anyway?
Thank you everyone for watching and for your support!

If David Lynch continues Twin Peaks, I'd love it. But, ONLY if he's at the helm, not if anyone else tries to take the show over. David Lynch is simply unique and I don't think anyone else can do what he does.
I couldn't agree more. We all remember what happened when he wasn't there to control season 2.
_cough James Hurley subplot cough_
Kyle would not come back if Lynch wasn't working on it again
poor Mark Frost
It's all about the tragedy of Laura's death, at least to me. There is nothing anyone can do, even with having access to versions of heaven, hell, and mutliple realities. It's meant to underscore the incredible impact of loss, with Cooper representing those who are left behind, trying to find a way to undo reality, but always failing to find a solution, beacause it can't be had. But all theories are valid, and that's why I love Lynch. This end is meant to be final. It's the ultimate gut punch.
Season 3 has the most shoking and perfect ending I could ever imagine... But is there room for a continuity! Of course there is! In fact... I know in my bones that this is not the end of Twin Peaks yet...just has I knew back in the nineties that this was not over yet... I don't know if it will be in the form of a season 4, Mini serie, TV movie or theather film, but I know in my bones that there wil be something else, When? in a year? 5 or 10? that I don't know, and directed by who? don't know either, but there wil be something else... love your vids by the way!
Yan S. I'm not expecting anything soon, but it would surprise me if in the next 5-10 years there still has been any development of a new season.
This season apparently took about 4 years to make, so given this one has just ended, my guess is that we may hear about a new season in 6 years
I think it wouldn't be too difficult to say there could easily be that possibility. But if you have that feeling, than I'll believe you.
I also agree with Thomas. It seems Lynch takes his time with his work, so we will have to see how long it will take this time.
Lynch said if there is for it won't be for another 5 years at least.
If they do, they’ll have to do it soon while everyone is still alive
I absolutely love this episode of your Twin Peaks thoughts.
As for the continuation - there are many loose ends, the question is, which plot to follow! I would gladly follow Hawk (from the book we know he inherited the log, but it haven't spoken to him yet) and he has still one more page of Laura's diary to find. He is a strong presence in Twin Peaks and seems to know a lot about Judy andbeliefs connected to the White and Black Lodge. I also think he would make a good mentor to any future FBI agents following Blue Rose cases. Wouldn't it be great?
Thank you and you make an excellent point!
It seems there are more loose ends then there was compared to the last cliff hanger. If there were to be a continuation, I'll be all for Hawk being the protagonist! His character is so well developed up to this point. He is the reason Dale was able to further understand the Lodges in the first place.
It would be great to see a continuation to some more Blue Rose cases, great idea. I would love to even see more Sam Stanley, even if he is apparently a raging alcoholic. Gotta love Sutherland.
I thought Kerry Paige was the missing Paige. But I'm all for a season with Hawk as protagonist. Always wanted to Know more About Him.
And where in the world is Agent Chet Desmond?!
A happy ending would have an unreality to it where you don't quite believe it like the ending of Blue Velvet. As if waking up from a nightmare only to realize you're still dreaming.
Couldn't agree more!
Great complex writing in Twin Peaks. It was difficult to watch the doppelgänger of Agent Cooper. Kyle MacLachlan did a great job in the role of Good Agent Cooper and Bad Doppelganger Dark Cooper.
Have another Twin Peaks analysis for you guys, right when you thought people weren’t making those anymore. It’s been a year since the release of Twin Peaks: The Return and I need to go over that finale once again. What do you guys make out of Dale’s RETURN (a coincidence? I think not) to a tragic end? Is there potential in a continuation with his storyline?
That is all.
He was Evil Coop at the end of Season 2, and maybe he was Richard at the end of Season 3. Maybe if his journey is the work to splinter off and discard these personae and be his true self...?
+evakatrina a
Another case where we can't fully grasp the situation, but enough for us to speculate something in that regard. Great thinking!
The Happy Ending : Dale Cooper assumes the life of Dougie Jones in Las Vegas with his family and friends . The man who travels to Odessa is the new doppleganger. As for the question of whether or not Twin Peaks should continue, I think this was meant to be the end.
Well put
Tim Wells Thats not a happy end. A happy end would be him getting revenge on Bob and destroying Judy somehow. What you described is a depressing ending.
Clearly not the case. Jenny-E got the retarded doppelganger.
Bob was defeated and cast out of Cooper's Tulpa.
@@TheShadowOfHumanity how do you destroy evil/extreme negative force? Red garden glove maybe?
Gotta light OTM ? Well you've just brought some : I hadn't set those similarities that clearly - thanks ! I can't imagine any continuation I must say. To me Dale is a tragic hero as he is the sacrifice character whose duty and fate is to save Laura in any world (so, correction a loop and a loop and a loop could be a continuation indeed). Or, because he managed to save her in reality, he is doomed to fail in another place. Btw, the music you chose... perfect !
Drink full, and descend.
Hah, I'm glad you liked it! I completely agree with you there Ben. Dale is the tragic hero that might simply be forced in that passage by Lynch himself (nice guy). And overall, I think Dale himself could be happy with his results, even if he never uncovers what truly happened. If it is true that Laura is saved in any dimension, what would happen if Twin Peaks does continue? Would we see a breathing Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks?
I had to pick the perfect music for this video!
David is 72 and Grace Zabriskie is 77 (can't believe it) : I would have loved something showing her struggle against Judy... and as Agnieszka says below, there's still a page to be found. But even though you can change one event, you can't change the power of time...
Brrr that scene where she stabs the portrait in a loop !
The 3rd season definitely had an element fear that altered since the original seasons. It was incredibly intense.
I can't believe they are that old, it blows my mind.
There is many more questions to be had than Twin Peaks originally had 25 years ago.
I think there is always more story to be told. It all really hinges on whether David Lynch is inspired to tell it. Without Lynch or without inspiration, it should be left alone.
I can see where you are coming from. There is something special about Twin Peaks that Lynch created. It has his watermark and if it does pass along to someone else, it would output as something else. *cough* _James Hurley season 2 subplot_ *cough*
I mean... sure. It COULD have a happy ending.
But the real question is... would we WANT it that way?
Fabulous video OTM!! Thank you
If there is a fourth season it would have to be something we couldn't predict. It has to come at us like season 3 did. I don't know if it is possible to recreate that sense of community and collective imagination over a show again..
Exactly! I think it needs to be unexpected as well. There is a sense of mystery without close examination.
After Cooper went to twin peaks saw everyone n saw BOB defeated. At this moment he gives Janey E and her son a tulpa if Dale Cooper went n live with them instead of his tulpa he would of chose love over darkness n would of given Cooper a happy ending unfortunately Cooper can't love others cuz he can't forgive themself so he goes off on a hero journey to save Laura if he just stayed with Janey E he would of had a happy ending n everything would of been okay.
i cant get over alberts tounge in cheek statement in season 3 about a season two
No need for another ending, this one did have a satisfying conclusion, from my perspective. I think the show makes it clear that, this time, Dale succeeds, eventually. He somehow learns to ascend time and space. I know I know, that sounds weird, but its what he says! See how his face is superimposed on the entire space of the frame? Then he talks about time? I think this makes the most sense. He basically becomes a fireman type, like Phillip Jeffries or the Fireman...
I believe there is more than enough scope for another season but have no idea if it will ever happen. There were many avenues that could be explored further and I can only imagine how great it could be.
So thankful for this 3 series, it was an absolute pleasure to watch, I am about to buy the blu ray and watch it all over again!
I completely agree. There is so much to go on that it would be nice to see a continuation, but on a different viewpoint, I'll be okay leaving it here as well.
Nice! I hope you enjoy your rewatch! I still need to get the blu ray myself. Have you read the novels yet?
Twin Peaks is about Laura, not Dale.
The show ends when she ends.
The answer is YES, but it's all in Lynch's hands
Right to the point! I love it
Na, Frost and Lynch need to team up and really sew their ideas together. There is a lot of incoherence in the unbridled Lynch, which I love, but Frost paints a detailed picture - more of a map. I was saddened to learn that they had little collaboration with one another in the creation of season 3: the Books were all Frost, screen was all Lynch. I dunno, the books were just a lot more accessible in tying shit together, whereas it seemed Lynch just went off in an entirely different direction with the series that disrupted Frost's attempt at cohesion. Help, please for the love of God, I don't understand season 3 at all!
(Edited to correct a typo)
If you knew Lynch, you would be aware of the fact that while you're watching Lynch, you don't have to think, or try to make some kind of connections between the scenes, but to enjoy and living the experience. Despite all that, if you watch more carefully, you'll see that there's a logic...
Francesco Pegoraro, never looked at Lynch quite like that; his work often reminds me of a really intense dream that you think about for days afterward
I think of it as season 3 as Lynch's perspective of the series, since he directed the entirety of it. But you also gotta look at the writing aspect of the season as well, which was by both Lynch and Frost.
Season 1 had a series of directors, including Lynch, which become somewhat of a quilt of Lynch's and Frost's vision.
I still maintain the real Dale stayed with Janey and Sonny Jim, while the Tulpa crossed over to find Laura.
People have also speculated that the final episode location for season 3 is our reality. If you want to do a meta on it, they could be linked as Dale Cooper is our (the viewers) lab rat in a sense. We watch the show creators put him through these various mazes. We might see a resolution for Cooper in the future, but only if it comes to Lynch in a dream! I think he's waiting for that sign of where to go with him. Cooper is a very important character for Lynch, and he won't take it lightly whatever his decision.
That would be an interesting way to view that season. Meta theories are usually the best, since they have such a deeper meaning that give us such a different perspective.
Thanks for posting!
Great job on your video.
Great video - thanks for the insight! We love Twin Peaks!
Thanks for watching!
That's the thing. Lynch allowed us to use our imaginations to determine finality or not. We don't know if Carrie/Laura's scream killed them or ended anything. The house goes dark and the scene goes black. Could be that Cooper was successful in getting Carrie/Laura (Carrie could be a Tulpa like Diane, who is aware of the hosts thoughts and memories) to remember and confront Judy and that appears to have happened. Cooper prevented his Bob-infested Doppelganger from ever getting to Sarah/Judy and accomplished his mission of getting Laura "home". Whether the plan was successful is anybody's guess and maybe even Lynch never closed the chapter in his own mind. That's the beauty of his work. It's unsettling and does not wrap the series in a nice, conclusive bow.
Excellent well put! I couldn't say it any better.
I really enjoyed the Portlandia conclusion tie-in. Also, could any other show be gone for 25 years and have their audience back and hanging on every line from the opening credits? Remarkable!!!
Wow, I never heard of that Portlandia theory until you mentioned it. I love Kyle's portrayal in the show.
That opening can hypnotize us. It's too good!
I would argue that the ending of season 3 was abrupt however it was not a cliffhanger. And it's also my understanding that agent Cooper's mission was a success. I think what he and Diane did in the motel room was a way to summon Judy so that Cooper could enter her dream where she was hiding Laura Palmer. I think what he was trying to do was getting Laura Palmer to remember who she was. At the end just before Cooper asks what year is this the same sound that The Giant / Fireman told Cooper to listen to in the first episode can be faintly heard. I believe this sound triggered something in Cooper making him aware that Judy had tricked him. What year is this was the one thing Cooper needed to say to remind Laura that she was Laura. It was a sudden save. It felt to me like a nightmare that's so bad your mind eventually tells you that you're dreaming. Cooper asked the question prompting Laura to remember who she was as represented by Sarah Palmer calling her name. Laura then screams in an acknowledgement of who she is which is what kills Judy as represented by the lights going out in the house. I believe the lights going out in the rest of the world represented the dream ending.
Brandon Powell I believe the lights going out was the end of dales dream/mind control session
Very interesting. I agree with you, though I've never read or watched a theory well-elaborated like yours (and believe me, I searched for maaaaany since I watched the finale 1 year ago!); the thing that is new in your theory for me is that it was a Judy's dream, and it goes well with the whole episode... What I myself conjectured was that it was like a cage, a dimension-cage, if you will, where somehow the Giant managed to trap Judy into, and in which it'd be the only way to get rid of her since in our world she would be an immortal entity just like Bob, even more powerful obviously. And what I found is that, yea, Cooper and Laura did it, but the price was Coopers life since that universe was shut down.
@@rafazardly I'm not sure Cooper necessarily had to die. I think there are multiple realities overlapping each other. Multiple dreams. Just because one dream ends doesn't mean Cooper couldn't wake up into another.
@@Brandon_Powell you're right, there is no evidence, only a black screen. I'm only conjecturing... and I think this is a heroic finale too
@@rafazardly David Lynch is apparently toying with the idea of making more Twin Peaks. He's even gone as far as to say that he was looking and found a way back into the world. But even if he and Mark Frost decide not to make any more I still think I'm happy with how it ended.
Good vid dude. I have heard many theories but none have truly convinced me; one conclusion I dreamt up myself (as I'm sure others have also) is that the ending of fire walk with me is the true ending: as in after the scream, Dale and Laura return to the red room. Laura has served her purpose and is finally given her peace; the angel representing her ascendence.. Or something!
I have that same thought! That Fire Walk With Me scene where the monochrome display is restored to full color has got to be the change in the timeline. Excellent post!
Nice video and analysis. As for the title/question, a happy ending? very unlikely. Lynch always push for riddles, intrigue and hopelessness at the end of his work pieces. Since past history he wanted to leave the mystery unresolved (who killed Laura).
Brilliant logic. Lynch has always aimed in this direction and there comes a time if any of his endings will reach the ordinary conclusion. Thanks for posting!
Dune, Blue Velvet and Wild at Heart all had happy endings, more or less.
I don't think there's any need for a 4th season, but then I was skeptical about the 3d and was pleasantly surprised. But even if there were a need, too many actors are dead. Lynch has gotten all the mileage out of long-departed Frank Silva and Don Davis he can, and now Miguel Ferrer is gone as well. Hard to imagine TP without Albert. Season 3 gave us enough to think about for the next 25 years.Lynch was never big on closing loops anyway.
That is a great thought. There are so many cast mates that have passed since the show started years ago. So if there were to be another show, I can't see it happening anytime soon. It might possibly revolve around another storyline.
kaewonf8 Lynch also gave us Catherine Coulson, who's now gone, and her former husband Jack Nance who died years ago, in The Return.
What makes this show unique since the early 90s till now was by far is how amazing it was to paint us details in all the seasons as far as Agent Cooper goes he definitely needs to remain active many shows goes cold and loses it steam hence there ultimate ending. I hope David Lynch doesn’t wait too long for us to get more of Agent Cooper. There’s so much more there to build on around this main character taking it back into Twin Peaks darker secrets. Deputy Hawk is my other favorite character in this series think bringing Harry back as for Andy all working together to uncover more of Twin Peaks planning to visit the location myself soon to enjoy some cherry pie!
In response to your question at the end, yes I do think there is potential for the series to continue. But I think a more pertinent question would be, simply, should it? And to that, no, I really don't think it should.
No matter what, due to how the series ended and how they solved Laura's murder, a mystery that was never meant to be solved, it would always end like this and will continue to. At a cliffhanger, at what many would consider a "pointless" crusade. Lynch will always see to it that Twin Peaks will never have a finite "happy" ending.
I feel this revival was a very special, once in a life time event that can never be repeated. How many other works of fiction so eloquently predicted that in 25 years we would return once again?
Agreed! There was a special aspect to the new season that would be difficult to replicate. Great post!
Twin Peaks is a dreamworld. I feel this was made clear throughout the series and maybe even piled on a little too thick in Te the Return. It is the dreamworld of an abused, molested, drug addicted, teenage prostitute. In this dreamworld there is a clear explanation for the source of evil and a way to defeat it. And there is a literally too good to be true white knight FBI agent who will stop at nothing to defeat it and save her. Human beings have always dreamt up explanations for evil(The Devil, original sin, etc) because it is easier and more comforting than to face the horrors that exist within us.
I view part 18 of The Return as the dreamworld collapsing culminating with "What year is this?" We then hear Sarah Palmer's voice call out for Laura just like in the first episode. The final scream is Laura waking up and returning to a f*cked up life where the evil that exists in her reality can not be explained and no one is coming to save her.
Laura is the one.
Laura is the dreamer.
So needless to say I think Twin Peaks is complete. Lynch could still go back in the dreamworld but I have a feeling that this was meant to be the definitive end. And if the show ever continues without DL that would be a near tragedy. But we'll see.
I would like a happy ending. I would love a fourth season. However, even if there is no resolution and there are no further episodes, I will be forever thankful for this season three. I cannot explain why but it left me with a beautiful wistfulness that has stayed with me. Even thinking about the series or hearing the music brings up emotions that I still do not understand. This is why Lynch is a master.
Could there be more? I believe Lynch has created an incredible world(s) and amazing characters. More things could always happen. Will there be more? I don’t know. But I tell you this. I don’t want more until when and if Lynch is truly inspired, which may take 25 more years. Years, which he may not have left. I guess we will have to see.
If you subtract the final episode of season 3, you have a happy ending at least as happy as you could expect for twin peaks. Almost feels like the final episode was thrown in to let us know it’s not over, and it doesn’t end up happy for coop. That being I loved all of it and would do anything for more peaks.
We could all just agree that Part 17 ended pleasently...
Then Part 18 came along.
You make the best videos. Twin Peaks is awesome, too.
The third season tells us several times that we live in a dream and it asks who the dreamer is. Many events are dreamlike and impossible on earth, like the magic Freddie fist and the tulpas. Kyle's face is watching events as if he is the dreamer. Put that all together and you get that one of Kyle's four characters is the dreamer. The only one that makes any sense to me is Richard. There is always room for another season, but if my guess is correct and Richard is the dreamer, I don't know where you would take a fourth season. But a creative mind can figure something to do with a fourth season. Maybe it focuses on Richard and Linda. That would be a change.
I don't think anyone wants a happy ending. I think we want some kind of finite ending.
It does not need or require any further episodes or explanation. I feel like it ended as perfectly as a story this dark and unsettling can.
Where can I watch??
So to watch Twin Peaks: The Return, you would need Showtime. Thankfully there are many services that offer a free trial for Showtime. Most of them for 7 days, but If you have Hulu, 30 days. I’ll leave the link below for you to take a look at all those services that offer free trials!
www.sho.com/order?s_cid=pse-default-10464&gclid=CjwKCAjwjZjZBRAZEiwAPeLSK-Zt7VZVXTe4Q-9e4pPMsGs1eZBqHkaGqziU5hoQ2GKmUwlzfQWVqBoCkvYQAvD_BwE
Old Tin Man thank u so much you’re
The best and yes I have Hulu thank God 🙌🏽
Glad I could help!
Yes, Hulu is the way to go! Always get the best free trials there. Enjoy 👍
Try your public library. The three largest parishes (counties) in the New Orleans area all have it in their library systems. The smaller systems don't seem to have it.
It's worth remembering for other TV series & movies if you've already seen it. Most public libraries also give you access to Hoopla and/or Kanopy streaming.
Of course it wasn't closure. All these wildly contradicting speculations underscore that. How can it be closure if we don't even know what happened? That's the opposite of closure. And I'm not one who's ever been impressed by "ambiguous" endings. They're copouts. Fans don't need Lynch's help to imagine their own stories. If he has a story to tell then he should tell it. The line of thinking otherwise basically reduces the series from a story to a loosely connected set of writing prompts. I have my own ideas about how season 4 should unfold and I seen no reason for it to end with S3.
The story wants to be told, and it will find a way to make that happen. Lynch understands that.
I am 100% sure there will be another season announced when Showtime and Lynch make a deal. Comic-Con would be one possible place for an announcement. Showtime would not be spending millions of dollars on publicity for Twin Peaks if it thought the show was done.
Coop is on the Hero's Quest. He overreached when he prevented Laura from being killed and things did not go according to plan. However, I trust that Coop will figure out a way of his current situation. We just all experienced a huge cliffhanger,
Well showtime has already said they’d be interested so who knows. Lynch is in his 70’s now so.... I guess we’ll see
Do I want the show to continue? Are you kidding me? No question about it. YES!!!
If this theory is correct (and it think it is a reasonable conclusion that it is) then did we need 18 hours to get there? And then how much of the non-Cooper stuff really mattered then?
Of course, Cooper is still in the Red Room. We never saw an “ending” just another restarting point. It happened in the sheriffs station when everything went black after death of Bob/Mr.C./kissing Diane. Twin Peaks could ALWAYS continue in “alternate timelines” as long as Cooper continues to try and “save” Laura, or meddle with the past. Also, Lynch went on record talking about the mystery of Laura’s missing diary page. So that’s a good sign...
Great point! We could see Dale on a endless journey. Perhaps as an eternal imprisonment, where he is challenged to escape.
Thank god Lynch is still discussing that mystery!
Remember season 1 finale and the first episode of season 2. Cooper gets shot and we see him on the floor in the first episode of season 2. Cooper asks the Giant, where do you come from but the Giant corrects him by saying, "where have you gone". Also the second season Cooper is gloomier than in first season. I would argue that Cooper lives through the same thing, again and again and again. Dying and being reborn, each time darker than before. Could his dark side gaining more and more ground in his psyche?
No. A happy ending would be closure. David Lynch rejects the idea of closure
of course it can go on... it's open in every direction, like x-files on steroids :)
That is an excellent comparison! Even if it doesn't return anytime soon, there is possibility to move in a different course.
No, it can't. Not because it could not be written. But because David Lynch doesn't want that.
When I was young I made a Twin Peaks page, this was back in the time you had to know how to write in HTML I used Geocities to make my TP Page. Geo city is shut down but they actually archive my page you can see it you can enter Twin Peaks trivia page that you might not get the right one I found it by using my name Teddie McCollum twin peaks page welcome twin peaks fans twin peaks trivia. For anyone that is interested it goes into much detail. Some of the links are good, some not.
I really don't see any of these notions of parallel dimensions and timelines as relevant. For me, Lynch is joking and juggling with the idea of a TV series, audience expectations and episode logic and continuity, not making a sci-fi mystery series.
I wish it was continued but I think it shouldn’t.
Unfortunately, season 3 didn't do it for me. Aside from some great moments, reminiscent of the old series, season 3 was very forced and weird for the sake of weird.
All the naturalness inherent in season 1 and 2 was gone, the connection to nature and owls were gone and everything then turned artificial (man made electricity and nuclear bombs). Though one can argue that this was intended I believe Lynch made a huge mistake by not bridging the gap between nature and artificiality.
But the greatest sin of Lynch was that he hugely departed from the town of Twin Peaks (nature) and decided to jump to different locations.
All in all, a huge letdown.
Couldn't disagree more, The Return is a masterpiece and transcends the first two seasons in every way.
Hate to say it, but if you think it was 'weird for the sake of weird' you fundamentally misunderstood what was happening.
Life isn't satisfying in it's endings. Why should art not ever reflect this. History repeats, life patterns repeat, never ending, never satisfying. So many lives, have ended in a loop. Why not reflect this in art? Lynch shows this side of mankind in his art. The banality, the futility in a high percentage of what people have always done, will always do. Yet with the promise and hope, that sometimes, something truly spectacular happens. It's's not the rule, but the exception. It's certainly not promised and shouldn't be taken for granted.
This kind of attempt to literalise Twin Peaks is so reductive… it’s about how it makes you feel. This analysis is particularly bad. The guy is just reaching for anything.
It could but it probably won't because either David Lynch got so caught up in not knowing what he was doing or story he was telling, I don't see him making everything come together when he actually really could if he wanted to. Instead he wants viewers to have their own conclusions. YAWN imo. If anyone could come up with some logic (or make some logic to it all for a real "story's" sake) it's probably David Frost that could end it all with a solid conclusion and put it all together better than Lynch could. David Lynch just wants to be artsy and it's annoying when there is no answers to anything in his story telling. Especially frustrating when Lynch makes everything so compelling & interesting. To have no set conclusion or answers is imo a cop out and cheap of him to do.
I think the most overlooked episode of this entire series was the Nuclear bomb explosion episode. Imo this showed a ALIEN interference in trying to stop the bomb from existing. Or trying to change the human events that lead up to the development of the nuclear bomb. Aliens created "doppelgangers" to try and stop the making of the nuclear bomb. This says a lot about the disappearance of Phillip Jeffries, General Hammond and why he was abducted. Along with vanishing of Agent Desmond and others. I don't think "The Red Room" was a product of "The Lodge". The Red Room WAS an alien spacecraft or it's visionary room to station all the players the Alien race needed to try and reverse history. Thus, the alien race USED Laura's mother & father as distractions so the alien race could try and change history. Thus what we watch is the alternate reality. The alien race can create an illusionary "space & time" changes into reality to purposely insert the doppelgangers they needed. The entire series from beginning the ending is the alien race trying to correct everything using different alternate realities. Thus in the nuclear bomb explosion episode you see the bug go into Laura's mom. Thus leaving Laura's father the VICTIM of marrying an alien species, Laura being a half alien, and BOB being inserted to stop Laura's father from exposing anything. Thus, the aliens have taken Phillip Jeffries, Hammond Cooper, Chet Desmond & Dale Cooper and captured them all into their realm (space ship red room whatever) because these are the kind of people won't ever stop to finding out what his going on. All the goings on is all the bad events after the nuclear bomb went off in testing sites and following it's use in Hiroshima. The DECLINE of the World in general. This is all we are seeing while watching all the bad things happen. It isn't the white picket fences & great time in the past that it use to be. The Alien race tried to stop it or alter it, but they haven't succeeded. YET. This is why I loved the ending. The GOOD but half Mr. C BAD ASS COOPER we end up with. In an alternate reality only Cooper & Laura exist in because the past does not exist anymore. The aliens don't want to kill them so they put them in a different dimension basically. Anyways, this Alien race trying to stop the development of the nuclear bomb theory of mine explains a lot for myself. This alien theory comes into play on the nuclear explosion episode completely.
Peaks must continue but...I don't see Lynch being up to the task ..if he wrote the ending someone else could finish it. He's getting too old
Haha! He is definitely old.
