No, they still exist in it. Cooper still goes to Twin Peaks, and he still solves the murder, and he still ends up in the red room, and still takes the path that he does, etc. It's infinity. Lynch/Frost chose to end it outside here showing how difficult his undertaking is, and despite the goodness i...

This is the reading which makes the most sense to me: "The remaining hour and a half of Twin Peaks: The Return proceeds to dismantle everything that has gone before—all three seasons of it. As foolish as it is to spin theories about any David Lynch film, I’m going to go out on that limb and in...

Nothing was wiped from existence. All these realities exist alongside eachother. Remember when Cooper said goodbye to everybody, and wished to see them all again someday? That's because he hoped to get everything in its proper place and be in that reality with Laura alive and Judy gone. The reality...

I don't get why ppl are jumping to conclusions and saying that as well. Everything that's happened so far has meant something, and been apart of the experience. ALL of it. Do you mean this on a meta level as someone watching and experiencing it? On some level, it makes me regret going on the journe...

-don't get all the consternation about the original story being retconned out of existence... How could that possibly be the case? Everything that happens in Part 18, right up to the last second is fundamentally premised on all the events of the Laura Palmer murder. I mean Coop, even in whatever di...

Then stay away from the discussion if it's so annoying.

It broke my heart in a way that I love.

It's devastating to know that there are realities out there where Laura is doomed to be reborn and remember her past from another life, because Cooper is trying to save her in EVERY reality out of the goodness of his heart and doesn't realize what's happening.

We'd only ever gotten slightly dishonest shades of the true Cooper, from that perspective: exaggerated heroism and, this season, exaggerated villainy. As soon as he exits the Lodge the second time, elements of both are present. (He still appears to be basically good, but he isn't a walking angelic ...

I do have to say that ultimately Twin Peaks lived up to its chosen genre -- a genuine mystery to the very end, even more so than other Lynch works or the original two seasons. Here's the thing, we almost never get anything like this. That's the take away here, we wanted a mystery to lull over and w...

Something else to think about: the final Cooper we see are all of his identities in one place; if we're gonna play "the real world" game this is the real Cooper, a whole we've only seen pieces of.

Splitting hairs.

Is it? With Lynch?

It's the difference between a young horse and an adult one.

Time has some significance here.

Sorry I misread you, I thought you were getting at "IT'S NOT A HORSE IT'S ACTUALLY..."
but yea I get you

Since we have lots of visitors, I'd like to point out the final poll of reactions to The Return. Please vote!: :arrow: http://www.dugpa.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3798 I don't know when we'll have so many visitors again. I'd like lots of votes like the poll for parts 1-4. The white horse (a...

Thoughts on the episodes aside, can we talk about Sheryl Lee's performance? She's absolutely riveting. Put her in more stuff PLEASE.

Sarah was inhabited by Judy. Cooper saved Laura in the past and thus thwarted Judy, whatever her goal was; the future where Laura's body was never found was a future Judy wasn't going to inhabit Sarah. Laura was dead, yet still lived. She wasn't supposed to recall or learn of that reality. (was it f...

I feel like that final episode was almost a meta-commentary on the entirety of The Return. I think the whole idea is that some things are meant to stay dead, trapped in amber, and that bringing them back can change them irrevocably. By bringing Laura back, they destroyed the reality of Twin Peaks -...
