The big question: will a concensus "explains the general gist" theory emerge about the final episode, or is it so dense it'll remain largely a mystery?

i love lynch but the bob vs freddy scene was torture, sometimes it's too much for me

finally figured out what that music refrain used in Richard/Bad Coop scene reminds me ...paradise circus by burial remix
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 4 September 2017 02:57 (six years ago) link
So Cooper failed. He's stuck in an endlessly recursive series of universes, going deeper and deeper in-between the seams of time and space, trying to save Laura Palmer forever (8).

so was that a capt. beefheart electricity reference by mike??

I know everyone loves the number stuff but street address of the Palmer house (Lucky) 7 0 (in the tens place) 8
― sciatica, Monday, 4 September 2017 03:11 (six years ago) link
Im not going to try to parse that just wanted to write it down for some reason.
― sciatica, Monday, 4 September 2017 03:12 (six years ago) link
So Laura got swept into a fake/dissociative timeline and Cooper drove "over the line" into that world to get her back? And then at the end she remembers the trauma and the dream world explodes?
Also was Cooper a hybrid good/bad Coop in pt 18? His mannerisms seemed more like Mr C than Agent Cooper.

yeah i love how the number 10 was given a shot out, as if to clearly say to the audience that the numbers mattered on some level
― Week of Wonders (Ross), Monday, 4 September 2017 03:14 (six years ago) link
Address is 3 numerals that add up to 15. Ok I'm done.

Moderately traumatized.
just finished 17. Julee Cruise - would've never expected that song, nice to hear.
But man gotta go for a smoke/toke break here, this shit is too intense

Episode 17 was the ending. Episode 18 was the epilogue. A very dark epilogue. I think Dale totally fucked up.

Can't believe lynch made a mockery of the little man's famous line "she's filled with answers"
― streeps of range (wins), Monday, 4 September 2017 03:42 (six years ago) link
I don't think Evil won at all. I felt Sarah/the experiment/Judy in whichever configuration was smashing Laura's photo up for a reason that may have been something that wasn't, or wasn't limited to, the trauma of Laura's death (etc.). Things are, as always, open. I might be misinterpreting all sorts of things though.

17 was just completely thrilling & amazing & overwhelmingly great, for now balances out the utter confusion & frustration of 18.
― flappy bird, Monday, 4 September 2017 03:44 (six years ago) link
(And, of course, there isn't any definite interpretation. Which, still, is another reason why I don't think it's possible at all to say that Evil won.)

Ending it on a cliffhanger like that - especially with the ultimate cliché "WHAT YEAR IS IT???" - was pretty fucking bold.

can't help wondering if frost walked into the episode 18 pre-production meeting to find the door bolted and lynch yelling through the keyhole "IT'S OKAY MARK, WE'VE GOT THIS"
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Monday, 4 September 2017 03:50 (six years ago) link
what cliffhanger
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 4 September 2017 03:51 (six years ago) link
Actually the beginning of 18 mitigates the extremely dark implications of the ending - at the very least, Cooper sacrificed himself to give a better Dougie back to Janey-E and Sonny Jim.

Me in 1991: BOB is one of the most frightening fictional characters ever created.

I don't think bleeding-mouth guy was there when Andy brought all the prisoners upstairs for the ensemble scene, was he?
It seemed like he was trying to pull something out of the wound on his cheek once Chad got loose -- what?
