Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

i hope anybody who's reading this who hasn't seen season 3 yet is extremely encouraged by us all asking what the hell just happened

I'm uh. I'm. What the fuck.

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.

Again

yes

Evil won

i'm so sad and completely fulfilled and i am unable to analyze either feeling

accurate

Can't believe lynch made a mockery of the little man's famous line "she's filled with answers"

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.

(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.)

i regret dying on the blink truther hill

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

and it's not as if he wasn't warning us the entire time - "is it past? or is it future?"

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"

what cliffhanger

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.

a little sad we never got a Dern/Watts scene

Naido being Diane after all: lynch/frost returning to the well of "white woman disguised as japanese person"

lmao

btw lol @/shout-out to Special Agent Dale Cooper's Gun Control Service

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

Me in 2017: nm, he got owned by a kid with a fake Cockney accent and a magic green glove.

lol

I love that the reality/narrative Dale goes into in Odessa is this whole other shaggy-dog universe of bad men that we'll never know anything about

i think this whole season was a shaggy-dog story

richard is the shaggy dog

Red's surname is Herring

haha :)

just watched, came in here not sure whether i wanted you guys to have a fully worked-out theory of this or just to be gaping at each other going "what the fuck just happened"

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?

I know this isn't the most important question outstanding but I've got a lot to work through

"My Prayer" fuck yeah!

"My Prayer" fuck, yeah

jfc
that final episode, holy shit

call for help

that final shot, behind the credits, of laura whispering in coop's ear in slow motion - in context it almost seemed like that was her telling him the key to the whole thing, and him realizing that it's bad news

like "you'll never solve this mystery, and you'll never stop trying" or something, and the realization of what that really means

the swaying trees in the post-cooper/Dern hotel scene was beautiful. Lynch is a master at making the environment such an integral part of the character's internal mood

like "you'll never solve this mystery, and you'll never stop trying" or something, and the realization of what that really means

good god, yes. more horrifying than i ever expected

What was the final music? Not credited, but sounded familiar. Something slowed down, just like the visuals? Worked really well in any case.

OH the most incredible part of this finale was the extended superimposition of the extreme closeup of Cooper's face over the rest of that scene plays out, just completely intoxicating

this:

I'm thinking of the little man's last word in the missing pieces: "there is nowhere to go...but...HOME!"

& the doppelgänger's "I've never really left home, gordon". Coop's taking Laura home at the end of fwwm, nu-Dougie arrives home, we end on a no-place like home

we live inside a dream

"The home is a place where things can go wrong"
