The following might be some of the only continuation of the story of we ever enjoy from Lynch:When asked by moderator (and self-confessed super fan) Andy Greenwald if he knew this was the ending and if he was writing toward this ending, Lynch replied quickly.
“This is the ending,” he said.
“You knew this was the ending?” Greenwald asked.
“This is the ending,” Lynch said. “It’s right there. You all just saw the ending.”
Then there's this:“Albert has since passed away,” Lynch said. “This is so sad. And in the world of ‘Twin Peaks,’ Gordon Cole is pretty much devastated.”
Lynch has said before that it's not a tea kettle, but I'm not sure if he's previously pointed out that it's a "machine". Very interesting.When David Bowie’s Agent Phillip Jeffries was mentioned, Lynch was quick to clarify the character’s new being seen in “The Return.”
It’s not a tea kettle,” he said. “It’s a machine. I actually sculpted that shape, and people see it as a tea kettle, but it’s a machine. If you want to see it as that, that’s fine, too."
I believe he had stated it was a machine before. In the pitchfork article, I believe.Jasper wrote:Good stuff. Thanks for posting. Very interesting bits:claaa7 wrote:Sorry about that.. here's a more recent Lynch/Dern/McLaughlan interview about ep. 18 to make up for it

Then there's this:Kyle MacLachlin, Laura Dern and David Lynch'Twin Peaks' TV show FYC event, Inside, Los Angeles, USA - 02 May 2018 - 02 May 2018
“Albert has since passed away,” Lynch said. “This is so sad. And in the world of ‘Twin Peaks,’ Gordon Cole is pretty much devastated.”

Far above the moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do"
2018:"It's the doppelganger thing - the idea of two sides to everyone. He's really up against himself. People were really upset that it ended with an evil Cooper who'd been taken over by Bob. But that's not the ending. That's the ending that people were stuck with. That's just the ending of the second season. If it had continued…”
When asked by moderator (and self-confessed super fan) Andy Greenwald if he knew this [part 18, which had just been screened] was the ending and if he was writing toward this ending, Lynch replied quickly.
“This is the ending,” he said.
“You knew this was the ending?” Greenwald asked.
“This is the ending,” Lynch said. “It’s right there. You all just saw the ending.”
The definite ending part dispels the theory about The Fireman/Agent Cooper scene taking place after the final then. I was never very compelled by that interpretation but i know its been making the rounds.Jasper wrote:Good stuff. Thanks for posting.

I agree that this comment is more ambiguous, but I do think that the wording is interesting in light of the 1990s interview. Back then it was the ending of s2, but it wasn't the ending of the narrative planned (however loosely) by L&F et al, hence "that's not the ending." In this new statement he is very insistent that part 18 is the ending. ("This is the ending.") Now, one can argue that he's talking about two different things, and that in the 90s he's referring to the whole of Twin Peaks, while in 2018 he's only talking about The Return as an individual unit. Maybe that's the case. Time will tell.N. Needleman wrote:I think Lynch's quote re: "the ending" can be interpreted either way - it could be about the ending of Season 3 or the whole show. It is certainly not, IMO, on par with how he told anyone who would listen that Twin Peaks was 'dead as a doornail' for 20+ years. When he wants to be understood he makes it plain. I think here the comment is more ambiguous.
It does seem like the question was if Lynch and Frost had settled on the ending early in the writing process, but if so, it must be pointed out that Lynch didn't answer that question. Lynch simply asserted that part 18 was the ending, never addressing whether or not they'd come up with this ending early on and written most of the rest of the Return with this ending in mind.Mr. Reindeer wrote:DKL isn’t the most precise speaker under the best of circumstances, and we’re comparing answers that were given in response to two different questions, the more recent of which was specifically about the S3 writing process (and which we notably only got in paraphrased form). I’m not reading too much into it. It seems like the guy asked if L/F were always writing toward this particular ending for the season, and DKL was answering that narrow question, not prognosticating as to the future of the franchise.
