Judy is David Bowie and he dead you know dat. end of franchise.

nice dad you got there. does he kill?

friendly reminder that doppelcoop did nothing wrong and Cooper was the real fuck-up the entire time

Friendly reminder that the best way to watch twin peaks is to enjoy the ride and not worry about the symbolism, and that finding out what everything means does not make the series better or more enjoyable

Someone spoon-feed me with the most reasonable, well thought out theory of the finale.

Whats great about the ending is everyone can interpret it multiple ways and every interpretation is relevant.

>I've seen you in a dream.
;_;
what was your reaction this scene?

Laura was dreaming and she woke up

friendly reminder that friendly reminder was friendly reminder with friendly reminder that friendly reminder Vedderfags friendly reminder and friendly reminder is friendly reminder on top of friendly reminder why friendly reminder will never be friendly reminder in a friendly reminder world as a friendly reminder girl

poor fucking dale seriously.

too fucking brave for his own good.

call for help

They started to realize they were in a television show. Richard woke up in a hotel and thought it was real.

Why did he hang up the phone?

>Anderson recalls that the phonetic reversal was not difficult to master as, coincidentally, he had used it as a secret language with his junior high school friends. Series creator David Lynch was unaware of this when he cast Anderson in the part, and had hired a trainer to help Anderson with enunciation. When he found out Anderson could already talk backwards, he cancelled the trainer and wrote more difficult lines of dialogue for Anderson to read.
that was too hard for you

It was kino, just like the picnic tape scene

then who was phone?

This is the starting position. The start of the story. "is it future or is it past?"

We return to this moment 3 times. 2 times in Part 2 and 1 time in Part 18.

The first time is 1989, Mike asks him that question and then Laura shows up whispering into Cooper's ear, after he sees the white horse symbolizing death, the camera flies into a black abyss and everything goes back to starting position. He's back with MIKE, 25 years have passed. This time Laura doesn't show up, but they go see The Arm, and Cooper is later ejected out of the lodge by The Arms doppelganger.

"He must come back in before you can go out"

"253 time and time again"

Part 18, back to starting position. MIKE and Cooper go see The Arm again this time he has a different message "Is it the story about the little girl who lived down the lane? Is it?" Cooper suddenly remembers Laura whispering in his ear, and he finds himself in the chair again, he now gets up and leaves the lodge.

WHO DO I COMPLAIN TO ABOUT THE SHITTY "ENDING" I WANT TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER

Laura is for breeding

Phones shouldn't be off the hook. Coop wasn't in a position to hang up. Room service man did nothing wrong

"Judy" was the Palmer house all along. Laura defeated it by yelling at it and then everyone went home and enjoyed a nice cup of coffee ;-)

>the dialogue of "I've seen you in a dream" and "We're going home" matching to the climax of her theme

OH ANGELO!

The more I think about it the more I dislike EP17. Shit was pretty goofy.

top wew

>tfw when the FWWM ending was only made more powerful by TR because it also shows Dale finally at peace with Laura

He was finally able to let go and accept what happened to her, and got to be there when her angel came ;_;

and Sheryl is for hugging!

In preparation for the wrap-up, it looked like we were going to get all these answers, even if they were long overdue. Instead, Audrey was paid no attention again, and that was such a mistake.

When you are in possession of a character that made an impression, one that stuck with the fanbase for this long, why not capitalize on it? Why not use all the favorite parts of your creation in a revival meant for those people that were waiting this whole time to see more of exactly that?

This disregard or lack of understanding is frustrating beyond belief because it shows that there was barely any effort made to want to craft a continuation of something that others appreciated.

Everything was great except the capeshit battle which I suspect it was intentionally bad.

At least we had the superimposed face

You're thinking of her cousin, Maddy

what's with you people and reposting shit from other websites

THERE'S SO MUCH TRAFFIC

That the first commentary I've seen that isn't fan theory bullshit. Well done.

Was the finale the greatest LYNCHING of our times?

Yeah that's what I didn't like about it. Everything from this point forward was pretty cool though.

Damn, who'd have thought the ending would reveal so many low IQ plebs?

CAR SEAT

>dat digital video interacting with film

fuck, I loved this part.

I don't think that I will ever be able to watch first two seasons agin. FWWM and The Return are the way to go.

what was t-bag doing as a casino owner?

we want to make fun of them here with our /tpg/ friends

This reminds me of that edit of the feels guy face superimposed on top of another one

Maybe I need to get off of Sup Forums for awhile.

Cooper travelled back in in time and saved Laura... For about 30 seconds. Then furious Judy (Sarah Palmer) plucks Laura out of Cooper's grasp and banishes her into another reality / dream in which she's Carrie Page, with no memory of being Laura P.

Cooper then tries to rescue her a 2nd time by entering Judy's dark world. Picks up Carrie Page and takes her to the Palmer house hoping to jog her memory / confront Judy. They almost give up but then Laura screams, shattering the illusion.

End credits show Cooper back in the Lodge after the 2nd rescue; Cosmic Laura has her memory back and is whispering cosmic horror stories to Cooper.

Jade give two rides

WE LIVE INSIDE A DREAM

wow. i like this.

>>Vedderfags BTFO
But they were right in the end, you can pinpoint the exact moment Cooper's mind breaks and never gets it back.

we got more CUTEkino!

so what about that sound in the great northern?

Are there really people out there that enjoyed Windom Earle for non-meme reasons?

Holy shit you're bad at this sort of thing.

I felt genuine sadness sink in when episode 18 closed.

He never had the chance to speak to Albert or Gordon or Truman and he'll never see his friends again, as he feared in his last speech to them.

All of Cooper's charm and happiness seemed to be used up in making Dougie 2.0 and his smile and optimism are gone.

He doesn't end up with Audrey, Annie, Janey-E or Diane. He ends up alone.

His plan to save Laura doesn't work. He can't move through the curtains. He doesn't know what year it is.

The series ends with him stuck somewhere new, failing his task and losing everything, with a look of horror spreading across his face as Laura whispers something we'll never know in his ear.

I finished season 2 around 15 years ago, and I've waited 15 years to watch one of my favourite characters of all time lose everything and achieves nothing.

Actually, it's been confirmed that Audrey never gets her mind back. (Pic is Evil Aud)

Well I'm glad I saw this series and it wasn't just another lazy reunion. Made my brief stint of yearly HBO GoT substriction worthwhile.

Lynch did gut and Tammy was great.

Where did she go back to again?

...

I really like Julee's old music but fuck her this was the perfect way to end it. The Lynch & Frost logo being silent was a great touch too.

Say what you want about this scene but you have to admit that this is shit acting from Bobby
youtube.com/watch?v=kjeCNnbVYAQ

Everything that happened since Coop entered the lodge 25 years ago was a dream and didn't actually happen, meaning this entire season was pointless.

>intent to kill sheriff truman
>nothing wrong

>Gets mind back
>Loses it again
>Spends 25 years searching for Judy
>Doesn't know what the fuck to do when he finds her

Holy shit Coop is so incompetent

...

Garbage theory.

Reeducate yourself, dipshit.

Listen to me carefully. I’ve been to one of their meetings. It was above a convenience store.

Bobby is the character's name, the actor is named Dana

>I finished season 2 around 15 years ago, and I've waited 15 years to watch one of my favourite characters of all time lose everything and achieves nothing.

It's a great ending, no way to argue against that... but it's so fucking bleak seriously...

because he's not a very good actor, he was ok for what the role required though

his life is a nightmare, he would have done him a favor

Cooper says "we live inside a dream" because there are multiple timelines occurring over and over again, intersecting, all synchronicing at 2:53, the time that he says it in episode 17. The thing is, it may be real, but it's a "dream" because he ends up going back into the past saving Laura which ends up destroying those timelines.

But that's when Judy says "not so fast" and puts Laura in a literal dreamworld, Cooper realizes this when he loses her in the forest.

Thus, he and Diane venture into this dream world, becoming part of it (As the Giant warned him: Richard and Linda, two birds with one stone, etc.) but Cooper ends up saving Laura at the end, finding her and bringing her back to her home, where she realizes it's a dream and screams, turning the electricity out in the house, and ending the dream, waking back up in '89.

Thus, all the events, seasons 1-3, were a dream.

Ray is just a poor man's Red.

What does /tpg/ think about Windom Earle?

What exactly does this reading tell us, then? Dale was supposed to return his doppelganger and he did so, he was not supposed to save Laura, that much is pretty clear by her being pulled away from him in the end.

He looks shocked when The Arm brings up Laura, and he finds himself back with her, he leaves the lodge in search of her, when he steps into her home he sees the white horse again, meaning death.

He knew what he was in for, yet he still went with it, hoping there'd be some answers at the house.

?

>"2:53 time and time again"
>Cooper is on a constant loop of trying to save Laura until he just dies of old age
damn...

The Return is the best Pleb filter of all time

All these people coming into it expecting neat resolutions and quirky coffee memescenes getting pissed off is great

This guys actually gets it. This is what the ending is actually about. All of you "Judy was the house and got destroyed! xD" fags can fuck off back to rebbit.

The whispering at the end was the same footage from earlier though, not a new clip. We can't be sure it means they're back in the red room at the end

I liked the scene where he was talking about death before he shot that hippie dude

Why do people think The Arm saying "Is it the story of the little girl down the lane" is talking about Audrey rather than Laura? Laura lived on a suburban street (lane), Audrey lived in the Great Northern up a hill.

>where she realizes it's a dream and screams, turning the electricity out in the house, and ending the dream, waking back up in '89.

I agree up to here. I see the ending as way more bleak than that. The way judy calls Laura... it feels like it was a trap, which is consistent with Cooper no being able to open the curtains.

>He can't move through the curtains

I feel like this is a really important detail that is meant to be focused on. It is symbolic for how many times he's done it, stepped out of those curtains onto a new attempt at saving her.

The fact that judy is an infinity symbol has to mean something, Cooper being stuck in this loop of endless misery.

Because Audrey said the same thing on a previous episode. It's not that he's talking about Audrey it's just that they both may be talking about the same thing.

The Arm is directly quoting Audrey with that line.

I thought it was obvious he was talking about Laura, but maybe people got confused bc Audrey said the same line to Charlie.

Wait, is the whispering suppose to take place after the scream?

The giant or someone from the White Lodge may have put Laura in that dream world to keep her safe, or as a trap for Judy
