So Laura says she's seen him in a dream
She's talking about the entire end sequence then?

Cooper/Richard imagining everything would be a huge downer
The character of Cooper is such a great character, I'd hate for that to be his fate all along
Cooper was so shook x unsure of what was happening before asking what year it was, felt bad

That's just Fire Walk With Me. It's why she wrote the diary page that Hawk found earlier in the season.

No, she sees Cooper. He warns her about the ring.

Yeah I don't think the ending should be misinterpreted as "It was all a dream" in the traditional sense
Apologies, I haven't seen FWWM yet. It's available for streaming so I'll get around to it this week
Over a "alternate universe Odessa" ending, sure. I'm all for bleak endings (Just watched It Comes At Night earlier today, oof), but not for this. I wouldn't even consider the ending we currently have as an ending, it really feels like a setup for something more.
Man this went from the most triumphant ending to the most depressing one ever.
It's easy to love 17, but I think I will grow to remember 18 more. It's so freaking bleak. Cooper is no longer Cooper, but not in a cartoonish doppelganger way, and there doesn't seem to be a path back this time. He tried to change too much and now everything and everyone is gone.

I'm so glad they went ahead and did a David Lynch trademark ending. With the amount of time this season spent teasing its audience, I was kind of expecting something with more closure.
Can't wait for Twin Peaks: Part 4: Steel Ball Run.

I do not see the ending as bleak. Like he seems to be on the right path, has followed all the Firemans clues, and despite not knowing what year it is or how to find Sarah it especially seems like things start moving when Laura snaps back to remembering she's Laura.

Safe to say, Annie was retconned? 18 eps and not 1 mention of her.
one of my favourite shots of the whole show:
Why though lol
They found the diary page with her message to Laura and explicitly mentioned her by name when talking about it.
So there's literally 1 mention, which is sorta even weirder?

Episode 18 felt the most like a Lynch movie out of any episode, to me.
I really liked it, and loved the season as a whole, but I am a bit perplexed. And I have no idea what The Final Dossier will actually be.

I wonder how much input Mark Frost had in The Return. This series really felt like 100% Lynch for better or worse.
Yeah you've told me this before ya Lynch stan
she was still an important character in FWWM so I'm not gonna just ignore her character.darkwing-buck

Lara Flynn Boyle has a history with Lynch.
Goes back to her prime years where she was being a diva. Probably Lynch's decision not to bring her back.
He probably wrote her out entirely which I don't mind.
I've never heard Lynch talk about western occultism so I'm going to say Frost had a lot more input than people will give him credit for.
Talking about the FWWM actress. I'm just surprised no one mentioned her at all though.
It felt weird but also I don't (off the top of my head) feel like there was a point in which she would have really come up naturally? Which obviously just means they wrote around her, but it made it slightly less jarring even more or less watching it coming right off the original show.
FWWM (and the diary before it- one of the scenes with them in The Missing Pieces is very similar to something Laura talks about in it) also makes it clearer that she and Laura weren't as close as the start of season 1 shows, which feels like a retcon in some ways, but regardless is probably what they're using to justify it.
Like what in the history of this show makes you think anything good is going to happen to Laura Palmer.

oh lol
Yeah never thought her character was a fan favorite to begin with so probably was
not even looked into. Would've been nice to see a cameo though considering Donna was so
prominent in the original.

If they're gonna do a S4, they better start quick. Most of these actors aren't gonna last another 25 years.
You can probably blame her actress for her not being in the story anymore.

Seriously.
Kinda would have been nice to flesh that out a bit.
Be nice if they filmed additional stuff just in case another season happens, don't know if any actors on the show have confirmed that didn't happen though.
All we know so far is that at least parts of it will bridge the gap between what happened to certain characters in between Season 2 and The Return.
I could see this helping for Donna, Annie, Audrey, Diane, and a few others I guess.

Dude walked out in Twin Peaks and couldn't even say hi for a bit to his pals and went straight to Texas to bang Laura Dern lmao
I loved the first part and the second part had totally pissed me off, but I really like it also.
I don't know if Lynch was setting up a fourth season, but I'm gonna have to watch it again divorced from expectations of an ending. I'm honestly so mixed on the episode, I think I'm just gonna have a beer and cry.

Ultimately most of the characters didn't matter. That goes for both the old ones reappearing 25 years later, as the new ones. Were we supposed to cheer as the British stereotype uh... Defeated Blob?
The Mitchum Bros. ended up as characters that fly Coop from Vegas to Twin Peaks.
Kind of disappointing honestly.

Maybe she has already assumed the role of Linda and couldn't handle seeing Cooper hanging on to his real dream-self.
Seems more like an "entire movie fades out of existence and everything still goes wrong" Back to the Future ending since Cooper wanted to take her back to her abusive home, giving the evil beach ball more chances to possess her now that she didn't get to escape that fate through death.

I have no opinion on a fourth season. I would like it and it would make a lot of sense for it to happen but at the same time this is a good place to end and I am content.

Any theories or explanations why their was a dead body with a ak47 on the floor at Laura Palmer's place in Texas?
This show is impossible to spoil, none of this shit is explainable or believable within the context of what to expect from modern TV lol

The woman at the Palmer house is the actual owner of that house.

Richard and Carrie are in the "real world", not the dream that Twin Peaks exists in.
A car isn't following them like in a movie, it just wants to pass. A cartoon beats up some random people in a diner, "What the hell just happened?"
