That's not oversharing, it's your reality right now. It sounds very agonizing and heartbreaking to endure and talking about it is one of the only ways you can address it.Hester Prynne wrote:Yep - but regardless of age or unhealthy habits, we all know tomorrow is never promised.
Hope this isn't oversharing, but my Mom has had several strokes and is in the early phases of dementia and it's hard - I feel like I'm losing a little piece of her every day. That's why you enjoy every friendship, every doughnut, and every cup of coffee. To me, that's what the heart of Twin Peaks was always about and always will be whether or not we see a Season 4.
Well, we can debate that, but the basic contradiction is that the image most of us have of people meditate seriously are the same folks who tend to be uber-healthy eaters (often vegetarian or vegans) and would never touch a cigarette.Mr. Strawberry wrote:There's nothing wrong with relaxing.

For me it's the bacon that stands out here.

My father just got out of bypass surgery last week, which I tried to strenuously argue he shouldn't do at his age (87) without a second opinion first.Hester Prynne wrote:Yep - but regardless of age or unhealthy habits, we all know tomorrow is never promised.N.

Thanks Mr. Strawberry, and MT, I'm so sorry about your Dad. My thoughts are with you and I hope for his recovery.mtwentz wrote: My father just got out of bypass surgery last week, which I tried to strenuously argue he shouldn't do at his age (87) without a second opinion first.
He had a stroke during the operation and I am just praying he is able to recover to his full self, but I am starting to have my doubts.
Very sorry about your mother. I am afraid that is the road down which my father will go, and it didn't have to happen.
You would think that he would want to go back into time to change ever being in the Lodge, but I did not find evidence of this in the story. Everything seems to indicate Cooper was 'mission-driven' to the end, presumably to defeat Judy and save Laura.Hester Prynne wrote:Cooper was more focused on "the past dictating the future" instead of the present. Was part of going back in time to save Laura also about hoping he could change his own outcome getting trapped in the lodge? I hope if there is a Season 4 that we'll see a Coop finally facing whatever he is unable or unwilling to face in the lodge and that he will eventually find peace.mtwentz wrote: My father just got out of bypass surgery last week, which I tried to strenuously argue he shouldn't do at his age (87) without a second opinion first.

But a logical byproduct of saving Laura in the past is that it would prevent him from ever ending up in the lodge. I think that's the evidence of him doing it partially to never wind up in the lodge in the first place. Just because that didn't happen doesn't mean that wasn't part of his plan all along, or that it actually did prevent him from ever going to the lodge but he ended up there somehow else anyway.mtwentz wrote:

And note that 'saving' Laura did not free him from the Lodge. It just meant he left the Lodge in a different manner.
I don't think he could change being in the Lodge; this was the one circumstance Cooper could not change. 'I am dead, yet I live'- as Cooper hears Laura state this, he realizes there are two alternative futures, neither of which changes when he enters the Lodge or when he leaves it.LateReg wrote:But a logical byproduct of saving Laura in the past is that it would prevent him from ever ending up in the lodge.

He said EXACTLY four years since 2017 by Skype in a q&qTimeFlashes wrote:This is regarding stuff that was said a couple of days ago, but whatever:
Lynch, in an interview that was posted ahortly after the ending of Season 3: "It’s too early to say if there will be a fourth season of the series. If that were the case, we would have to wait a few more years because it took me four-and-a-half years to write and record this [season]." (https://www.google.com/amp/s/ew.com/tv/ ... lynch/amp/).
He said "a few years". He probably has/has no clue how long it would take to complete Season 4.
I'd like to hear whaeterver he has to say about this now. It is possible that he already has some notion on how a potential Season 4 would and maybe he knows something about air time limitations, which was the main issue with Season 3.
