Twin Peaks - One Year Later

[@rbtoons7003]

I think what you're missing is that the scene with Cooper and the Fireman is actually the LAST scene of the show. Cooper accomplished his mission when he brought Carrie to Judy ("Its in our house now"). But traveling to the alternate timeline or dimension had caused Cooper to start to lose himself - his memory (The same thing happened to Phillip Jeffries, which is why he now resides in the teapot structure, to retain his consciousness. Its demonstrated many times as a side effect when a human travels to or interacts with the lodge) So the Fireman is reminding Cooper who he is and where he is from so he can cross back over ("You are far away"). 430, Richard and Linda, two birds are all meant to remind him. Watch this scene immediately following the last scene at the Palmer house and it all makes sense. This is essentially the epilogue.

[@togglebott7748]

Neat

[@stargazerbird]

OMG. That’s brilliant.

[@RemyMyer]

I will always remember the Summer of 2017 as some sort of a miracle.

[@charliebook3343]

This pie is a miracle!

[@otflipz1]

Remy Myer me too, the most incredible viewing experience of my life

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

@ Alice Book: WHAT'S THAT?!! COULD YOU PLEASE ASK THE LADY WITH THE LOG TO SPEAK UP?!!

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

Summer of 2017. The only thing that was worth living for. Even watched it together with a friend. Wonderful thing to share with someone who equally likes the show and it's characters.

[@JT-ec5be]

Me too. I was also playing Fallout New Vegas that summer. That and Twin Peaks had a certain magic

[@HauntFreak13]

How I saw it: Judy is pissed that Cooper saves Laura from being killed, so she takes Laura and puts her in a dimension where she is actually Carrie Paige. When Cooper brings Carrie/Laura to the house, she hears Sarah call out to her. This brings everything back to Laura's memory. Even with all her power, Judy still couldn't make Laura forget what happened to her. The electricity/power goes out at the Palmer house and Judy is defeated.

[@Brewzerr]

That’s most in line with what I got from The Return as well, though I’ll take it a step further and say that once she hears her mother calling her name and all of her memories come flooding back to her, it’s once again the morning after she was originally murdered in the original timeline. That faint “Laura?” that we hear just before she screams is the exact same sound byte from the pilot, when Sarah is calling Laura to get out of bed from the kitchen. Only now Laura was never murdered, so presumably she’s waking up in her bed from ‘the dream’ that was alluded to by both Gordon and Cooper. Laura is the dreamer, and in that final moment when she screams and everything cuts to black... it’s the end of her dream.

[@DG3K]

Brewzerr this is such a happier ending.. I’m definitely gonna go with this theory hahah

[@CrumblyTriscuits]

Carrie is a tulpa? I like this theory and can't believe I didn't think this before!

[@amazingabby25]

Brewzerr we live inside a dream

[@andygalligan4184]

You're still with us...that's good.

[@ianross9738]

THAT... was a GREAT scene.

[@TheJohno95]

My opinion: I agree with your statements in a previous video that Mr. C is probably not just Bob in Coop's body, but Coop's dark side given full control and mixing with Bob in symbiosis. The "good" Coop has got into some kind of symbiosis with Dougy. But one problem about being a "split" person is the fact that both halves are weaker. The Dark Side can carry the evil impulses, but also the experience and deductive sides. Cooper has the "good" parts, in which innocence and intuition prevail. But he can't really get the clues. So, when he sends his Dark Side back to the Black Lodge, the part of him that is left is incomplete and he can't solve the mystery he needs to. To really succeed, Coop will have to embrace Mr. C and become a whole person. You can't cut your Dark Side out and not have consequences....Jekyll and Hyde. So, we'll see what happens. Hopefully. This was just my opinion. I enjoy your show and your thoughts have given me more thoughts on the new season. Keep up the great work!

[@thisisnotachannel]

"Twin Peaks, One Year Later"... Damn. Here I still am (and I'm sure WE still are) 5... nearly 6 years later. Still pondering the same questions... and still loving every damned minute of the uncertainty! I've recently been toying with the notion that "The Fireman" we saw in "The Return" was a doppelganger all along... and purposefully led Cooper astray. But that's.... that one's a bit out there...

[@78deathface]

Almost a year later and I STILL can’t stop thinking about this damn show! Every analysis I’ve seen makes sense, but none of them are right OR wrong. I love how endlessly fascinating and frustrating season 3 is. Thanks for the video, I feel like I’m starting to itch for a rewatch!

[@standardofexcellence]

78deathface arent observational interpretational shows badass!?

[@vdelrio999]

I think that is the point - S03 was a kind of ending with a few interpretations to indefinitely ponder. It wasn't going to have a neat ending wrapping up all loose ends.

[@mackey-5438]

I need to get some bluetooth headphones and re-watch s3. I've heard it is a new experience seeing/hearing it this way. Lynch's sound design is awesome in TPTR.

[@cherybomber]

You can analyze season 3 to death and still not come to a concrete answer. There are so many interpretations.

[@vdelrio999]

Sorry for not providing a source but I think Lynch even said that (ad lib "S03 is like a painting - up to interpretation. It means what you make of it) in an interview

[@tomwspoon]

I remembered one of the phone calls to Hawk from the Log Lady, and I think it bears listening to at this point, because I think it really explains the whole of season three. Here is what she said: "Hawk: Electricity is humming - you hear it in the mountains and rivers; you see it dance among the seas and stars; and glowing around the moon - but in these days, the glow is dying. What will be in the darkness that remains? The Truman brothers are both true men - they are your brothers. and the others, the good ones who have been with you; now the circle is almost complete. Watch and listen to The Dream of Time and Space; It all comes out now, flowing like a river; That which is, and is not; Hawk - Laura is the One." From the oracle of Twin Peaks, think about how that wraps up so much of what we see throughout Season 3... We see reality and dreams intermingled and it is up to the viewer to determine that which is real and unreal...

[@Moopsism]

Nice, Tom Witherspoon! I believe Lynch did use Catherine Coulson (The Log Lady) to offer some clues to an 'explanation' We are not meant to take away a real explanation, but what she said on those calls are a good way to see into the story. He and Coulson were collaborators from the beginning in even his earliest projects. It was wonderful that he gave her that important role especially because the actor was really in her last days while filming those scenes. Cheers!

[@tomwspoon]

Thanks for letting me know something about Lynch and Catherine Coulson that I did not know about - thats marvelous!

[@Moopsism]

Happy to have shared!

[@kellybock6320]

Is time/space the dreamer and we are the dream? Is Brahman (infinite, indescribable) the dreamer and time/space the dream. Are we a dream within a dream?

[@Brewzerr]

That final scene/conversation between Hawk and the Log Lady, where she dies, is one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking things I have ever seen in both television and film. I’ve watched the Return about 5 times now, and that scene never fails to pry open my tear ducts. That was truly a rare gift to us fans from both Catherine Coulson and David Lynch. Just fucking floors me every time. Especially when we see the lights fade and go out in her cabin.

[@BadCooper]

And two years later... Still hopin for season 4

[@buzzardbeatniks]

The final scene freaked me out when I first watched it and just now the clips of it you were showing were giving me the chills. Such a great series. I loved Dougie Jones and the Mitchum brothers and Candy and all that...I think it may be time to go back and revisit them all.

[@jamesbaxterfromax]

I would love to see a video jam packed with Roadhouse theorys. Everyones theorys are all about the ending

[@moxie8893]

your voice is synonymous with twin peaks: the return for me. thanks for all these amazing videos dude

[@Pistols-7714]

Glad you're still making videos on this! my theory is on this case of cooper being so absent in the last episode is what i'd call the time machine theory: With the reoccuring theme of 'is it future or is it past', Cooper has gone back and redone trying to save laura over and over and over that he has lost his mission and has actually lost himself in the process being just a shell of the detective he was not really knowing his goal. Like in H G Wells' The Time Machine.

[@onebaddayaway]

Just watched this. Great video. This is my interpretation of the Cooper situation at the end of the return (I was baffled after watching it, but had an "a ha" moment at work the next day): Cooper probably planned to enact the final stage of his plan (in which he encounters Carrie Page) as himself, the same Cooper that finally emerged in the hospital and defeated Bob in the Sheriff's station. But what changed was the impact Dougie had on Janie and Sonny Jim, and his promise to them that he would return. So in the same way that Mr C created the Dougie tulpa to escape being pulled into the Black lodge, Cooper created one to fulfill his promise, while still being able to complete his mission, and sent his new Dougie back to them. Dougie was Cooper at his purest. Innocent, loving and (we can assume by his completely accidental successes, while not really knowing what he was doing) was probably the main source of Cooper's borderline supernatural intuition. In sacrificing that part of himself to keep his promise, we see him in Judy's diner sharing mannerisms with Mr C, not because he's become particularly bad or (as some has theorised) because he now (having defeated Mr C) is containing him to a higher extent and therefore is worse, but because the dark side of Cooper has always existed from season one onwards, only now it doesn't have the counter-influence his Dougie side. He's now a darker character, but still noble enough to stand-up for a defenseless waitress, something Mr C would never do. As well as losing that more outwardly positive aspect of his personality, perhaps the loss of his intuitive self is the reason his plans didn't (appear to) work as he intended. Maybe he would have succeeded if he still contained Dougie. Another reason for my interpretation is the Phillip Jeffries scene. Before his display morphed into the infinity symbol, Jeffries image was that of two diamonds, looking exactly like the three diamonds we see throughout season two (including the mark on Major Briggs' neck), which (since watching it back in the 90s) I've always taken to be symbolic of the real world, the white lodge, and the black lodge, as well as our real self, good self, and shadow self. Jeffries, I suspect, is trying to tell Cooper that only two of the three will be going forward. I don't know if my version is correct, but it seems in keeping with Lynch's style, suspenseful yet beautiful at the same time. I believe Cooper made a noble sacrifice, so I didn't find the ending as downbeat as some. Though I do hope for a fourth season. Keep making the great videos.

[@cityblue1982]

Your weekly analysis of the Return was a massive part of my enjoyment last year.

[@mikenayers5981]

I still consider the possibility that the Cooper tulpa went to find Carrie/Laura, and the real Dale went to Janey E. Maybe the real Dale couldn’t go dimension hopping anymore, or else he’d end up changed forever like Jeffries or The Arm.

[@robertbusek30]

Agreed. If nothing else, Cooper deserved a happy ending.

[@deckofcards87]

It was a transformative summer of tv. I think the 8th episode is the single most creative thing Lynch has made!

[@marian3nene45]

"It's yrev, very good to see you again, old friend." FINALLY!! Another amazing video, mate...and we've well missed you. Cheers!

[@HeatherHolt]

It’s been a year already?... wow. Time flies. I think there were a lot of misses from season 3. But I’ll adore it for what it was and not what it wasn’t.

[@Spencer-op5fr]

Still think about this show quite often. So many surreal moments in Twin Peaks that stick with you forever.

[@Dontuween]

FINALLY bought the blu-ray! Will be watching it in honor of the one-year anniversary. Can't wait to see it again! And here is hoping for a Season 4!!!

[@JoshPinder92]

A year has flown by ...One of the greatest summers ever..... weeks back to back big events everytime.....cannot believe it has aired

[@rlacombe]

It's so good to get another video on TP from you. As well as fond memories of the show itself, it is listening to your voice and ideas that give me a real warm nostalgia for those weeks of watching Season 3. You've become an entwined memory of my TP Season 3 experience and memories forever!

[@johnny-vu6rl]

You made a few points I've never even considered! That's what I love about this show lol, there's always new angles to look at and new discoveries to be made, even when you've watched it a dozen times

[@JAMAICADOCK]

Lynch used a record player in Inland Empire; as a metaphor for reincarnation - the record denoting a mandala - the universe and the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth. The gramophone may denote something similar in Twin Peaks - however, the needle is stuck - denoting Cooper's soul is stuck. He's hanging onto the past, he's not letting go.

[@dashswitchblade9700]

Laura screams when she is pulled from the black lodge in part (2, 3?) and also when that look of dreary realization appears on her face in episode 18. I think the scene we see at the end is reality righting itself and Laura finally coming back to her body which was sort of, for lack of a better word, "Tulpa'ed" by Judy. In a similar but different way to Dougie. Carrie Page was just a placeholder for Cooper to take to a place that invokes the spirit of Laura. One thing I have realized tho is the last scene we see is Laura 'waking up' essentially... Being activated so to speak. She's pulled out of the lodge, screaming, placed in Carrie Page, screaming, reality course corrects, and omni-Coop notices the shift.

[@johnny-vu6rl]

And not to make anybody jealous but I'm going to see David Lynch (+ Kyle Mc and Laura Dern) at a Twin Peaks event this week. To say I'm excited is an understatement 😅😅😅

[@danielgray2909]

name bob You lucky, lucky, duck you... Nice!

[@vampirascoffin870]

👍☕🌲☕👍

[@Kazekoge101]

Not to state the obvious but, Ask him "is there more story still left"?

[@johnny-vu6rl]

Kazekoge101 I believe there's a Q&A, so I'm sure someone will ask about a possible season 4!

[@DethronerX]

Lucky! Have fun there and tell him a fan from Pakistan said hi : D

[@tahsingokbulut1239]

Almost everyday i am checking some certain web pages if there are theories about extraordinary twin peaks journey. You have great theories and you are one of the best... And apparently will be. Don't make us miss your videos...

[@masonduke5647]

Now I need to see a spin-off that pits a trans-dimensional Leo Johnson against Judy

[@Brewzerr]

Even as brain-damaged as Leo was, I’m sure he must have realized at some point that if he let the spiders drop on him he could brush them off in time to get away unscathed. Probably decided to bail on Twin Peaks since he’d really hit a dead end there, and start life anew as a safari guide in Botswana.

[@jankaskyevitchjellbet7293]

Just re watching 1,2 series after 20 years. Brilliant absolutely brilliant. Later I re watch season 3.

[@adamofgrayskull7735]

I watched 7 EPs of the return yesterday back to back going to do the same today....good to see you back again your my fav source for peaks

[@devoicedmusic]

You watched the first 7 eps in a row…that means you're starting the next session with ep.8. May god have mercy on your poor mind. :D

[@78raarons]

Every time I think about rewatching the return, I get this anxious tightening in my soul... idk when I'll get to it.. but hopefully soon..

[@matthewpadron6246]

I came to this channel about a week ago and was sad that there were no new videos, thank you Wow Lynch Wow for always producing A+ content.

[@jasonellis9714]

A whole damn year! Glad to see you back with content. Miss the debate and theories almost as much as i do the show. Here's to season 4!

[@wrathofmatt4298]

YES STILL MAKING VIDEOS. My theory is that Coop/Richard is a tulpa. I thought this because once he crossed over he was more like the Terminator and you said it yourself the tulpas keep the original memories. I think when he gave his hair to make a new one the instructions were to make the tulpa a badass and to keep all his memories except that he's a tulpa so he stays on mission. I think Dianne picked up on this, or the Dianne that crossed was also a tulpa except she knows and the Dianne she saw was only her realisation of who she now is and that's why the sex for her was uncomfortable.

[@girlonfire2.076]

has it been a year it seems like only a few months ago, I feel like David Lynch has some occult knowledge no doubt from being part of the hollywood cabal, I feel like he was trying to disclose some occult knowledge in this reboot of twin peaks, ...I feel like this had little do with Twin Peaks and way more to do with David Lynch, who cares about Diane I still want to know whats going on with Audrey!

[@nancykillsyou]

I too had this theory. Also thought he may have been real Cooper with bob inside him (in another of coopers attempts to get out of the Red Room “dream.”)

[@shoddyworkmanship4934]

I was always confused as to why Cooper seemed so mean and robotic at the end. He was nice and cheerful on the way to the sheriff's office, calling ahead and asking for treats. But after he came out of the black lodge he seemed extremely aloof.

[@CrescimoneMatt]

I don't know a ton about Jung but yeah, I think it's possible a lot of that directly influenced Frost and Lynch. I'd just like to add that maybe the reality at the end - Odessa and so on - maybe isn't meant to be a more violent reality than our own, but actually just our reality. It's violent. People pull guns for next to no provocation and most of us overlook the decaying bodies. Maybe 'Judy' isn't real in the same way that maybe 'Bob' isn't real, i.e. "Maybe that's all BOB is. The evil that men do." Sure, we definitely see supernatural things. They could be real in the show, or maybe they're symbols - or maybe even hallucinations (which happens in the real world too). I think the post-430 world being our actual reality could be backed-up by the fact that the Palmer house was owned by its real life owner in the show. Also, if it is 'our reality', it can still be a pocket world too, and it doesn't mean that we didn't see other parts of this world/reality in other parts of the season (whether in the same timeline or not, idk). I have no concrete idea or ultimate theory for the show. Just spit-balling ideas. I need to re-watch the series as well.

[@joaolucaspp]

maybe the Coop that traveled with the red-hair Diane was the tulpa he created, and the original and good Dale Cooper right now is happy at Janey-E's house with sonny jim

[@danielgray2909]

Brother... You made my morning. I think Im ready to revisit se3 again, thank you.

[@laura21341]

Daniel Gray ik

[@Derek_Smallshorts]

No, no no. The scene with The Fireman is shown to us first, but it actually happens AFTER everything else; it's the last scene sequentially. It's the giant telling Coop, "you fucked up," which is why Coop is so apprehensive when he's told, "It is in our house now," and why he says "I understand" when reminded of 430, Richard & Linda, etc. That's the FIRST TIME he actually does understand; at what is actually the start, Cooper is still in the Black Lodge.* *I actually began writing an entire explanation of the end here, but it turned into an nonsensical labyrinthine ramble that sounded like the rantings of a crazy person after reading too much Borges, and it would have been several thousands of words long and still remained obscure. So I gave up.

[@ninja644]

I have missed your Twin Peaks analysis

[@alexandrap273]

And that voice...

[@Brewzerr]

Sounds an awful lot like Ray Liotta. Hmmm......

[@damienx0x]

I have three points for you to think about: 1. After the giant mentions two birds with one stone, Cooper says, "I understand." So he understood at that point. 2. At the end of that scene, Cooper disappears. The effect as he disappears is the same as when Laura's body disappeared when the timeline changed. 3. In The Secret History of Twin Peaks I remember a reference to sex magic, to a sex ritual. That seems to be taking place when Cooper and Diane have sex.

[@gardinnome1177]

Still the best Twin Peaks reviews on KZbin - thanks again!

[@dam4070]

It's amazing that a year later people are still as invested in Twin Peaks and figuring it out as they were a year ago. There is truly an amazing effect this show has on people.

[@davidsears5176]

To me that's the whole deal with Lynch. You might not 'get it' on the first viewing, it will be confusing, you will wondering what certain things may have meant long after you see it. I need TIME to digest a Lynch work. This is what he does, and he does it sooooo well. Frankly, that's why I think I'm prepared to call him my favorite film maker. I think I'm finally willing to place Lynch above Kubrick and all others (in my book). Just my personal opinion and preference. Lots of film makers I love... I've loved everything Tarantino has done. But Lynch hits me with a different impact. I see his work, and it... haunts me... for a good long while. Maybe I'm just weird and what Lynch does has a particular impact on me... but... whatever. No one who's work behind the camera I enjoy or respect more.

[@Brewzerr]

Hell, people were doing that with the first two seasons already, well over 20 years after the season 2 finale... and the Return is far more complex and deep than the original series was. People will be discussing and debating The Return for decades to come. Especially now that The Return is available on DVD. A lot of people missed it when it aired in 2017, simply because they didn’t have Showtime. The number of new viewers will only increase exponentially in the years to come. I mean, look at Eraserhead. It came out way back in 1977 - the same year that the first Star Wars movie came out... and people are still trying to figure out what it was all about. Lynch’s work will always have people thinking and discussing.

[@thisisnotachannel]

Checking in nearly 6 years later!

[@kenr8556]

Great to hear you analyze the show again !! If TP ever returns I'll be ITCHING to see what insightful thoughts you will share on the mystery that is Twin Peaks !! You're the best my man and thoroughly enjoyed every installment you have provided. Peace out !

[@smilodon87]

Great, concise analysis. I like your emphasis on "no control" and "no idea", and how contradictory both are to the Cooper we knew in season 2.

[@batesfan]

Brilliant. Great work, one year later. This show will always be part of our DNA and the most satisfyingly (?) puzzle ever.

[@OrbitZombie]

David Lynchs work extensively explores the nature of communication and language. Or rather, the ways that communication and language can mislead and confuse us. I think Coopers lack of understanding (and the Return as a whole) are further explorations into this. I watched a really good video essay of this topic called "David Lynch - The Treachery of Language". You should check it out.

[@CharlotteSophiaSF]

Wow, you just made my morning! Great to see another video from you. I agree that whichever Coop that was, he was baffled and that is disturbing. Thank you!

[@PiMpiNx187]

Its very good to see you again old friend

[@Wonderous39]

Hey Wow, Let's start a petition asking Showtime to pay Mr. Lynch whatever it takes $$$ to make a season 4. Frost too; hell, the whole cast.

[@krishnanspace]

Alan_ S. Agree with you.I am ready to fund it myself

[@waterspout8]

I watched Twin Peaks season 3 over a two-day marathon four months ago and I'm already champing at the bit to experience it again. Genius, mind-bending television. Thank you for the new video and all of your work last year in deciphering the complexities and profundities of this show. And, yikes!, you're still ending with Armpit-Rash Girl!

[@mantovannni]

I love how in the first 2 seasons, Cooper dictates to Dianne like she's some kind of nice polite secretary. Then we get to meet her lol.

[@DethronerX]

Really good to have this video!! Possible SPOILERS:: If Laura represents Love, then could Judy, the Ultimate Evil, be represted by Laura's Doppelganger? The arms bend back links well with Laura and if Laura's representation is the statue and the heart necklace, then the broken ones show the opposite

[@tuvalsuldenrin3833]

[@interrobang5000]

I like your thinking about this. It's just the greatest show ever. Over the last year I've found myself thinking about it a lot.

[@Buzzode]

Fantastic Talk ..... Great to see new videos from you !! Twin Peaks Never Ceases to AMAZE ME !!! Twin Peaks for Life !!!

[@TheMOMUZAK]

So good to hear from you!

[@reptomicus]

I thought the opening conversation between the giant and Cooper happens after the events of season 3 and he's about to be sent through another iteration. He's not giving clues but an explanation of what already transpired.

[@WowLynchWow]

I like that a lot.

[@marabou22]

I was just thinking about this the other day. When he tells Coop to "remember" I always assumed he was saying "as you go on this journey, don't forget." But it occurred to me that maybe it already happened and he was saying to Coop "don't forget what happened before." Or it may be both, you know the whole looping thing.

[@Hibobugawa]

Still, we would have to deal with the pin's theory. Cooper wears it at the end of part 18 and is not wearing it at the talk with the giant

[@YTStoleMyUsername]

reptomicus I also believe this, with the strange way of Cooper being cut out of the conversation as some form of proof... Also believe many scenes throughout the season possibly being shown out of chronological order, and/OR time being distorted in some way. Memory of the characters had to be affected because of this, even more so if attempts were made to "go back" and change "past" events. (Maybe in their reality/universe time doesn't flow fluidly like ours?) That could really have unintentional outcomes... And when Laura kissed Cooper in the Lodge then screamed and was ripped out, was that also the time when her death was erased from history? Or when she was then deposited in Odessa? Where did she go when removed from the Lodge like that? Or did it have something to do with what she whispered to him? (after extensive Reddit-ing and searching online I could never find a conclusive answer) BTW Wow Lynch Wow! Love your videos and love how you bring together all the best Twin Peaks fans! Thanks for making the experience even better!

[@jaytaylor7740]

Good catch. I'd forgotten that.

[@forgethebind]

Its so great and amazing to see people delving into the show like this, TP is a gift, DL and MF want viewers to use their heads and hearts, work as hard to watch it as they worked to make it

[@robinseaberg7405]

Yup... time to re-watch Season 3 while holding "The Final Dossier" in my lap for reference as I go along...

[@chrisbee8009]

Amazing, as always dude. I miss your weekly analysis as much as i miss the show

[@crouchingotter]

Is it wrong to want even more Twin Peaks? Or should I try and accept that The Return was also The End? I fear, try as I might, that I will always crave more.

[@davidsears5176]

hopes and rumors... no one said 'no', they just said 'not next year'. I think they want some time off to do other things, think about what season 4 might be (and if no good ideas, Frost and Lynch will probably pass). But my fingers are crossed for a season 4 some day. Hopefully not in another 25 years.

[@SimonCrazyCatGaudet]

Actually I found hard to have the same feelings, satisfactions, dunno what, when I see that show in other shows, so, me too I would like more. On another way, I feel like probably it's will end here or if they made a season 4 they will again leave us with a ton of questions. But it's interesting to see all the analysis we can bring around that show. :)

[@Brewzerr]

Of course there’s nothing wrong with wanting more Twin Peaks. However, I just don’t see how another season is a realistic expectation. So many key actors have passed away, and a few more are really getting up there in age. Lynch said in one interview that doing another season would probably take 4 or 5 years to make, and that kind of time really isn’t a luxury. Then there’s the nature of the ending of season 3/The Return... which seemed pretty, uh... final. If we’re to pick up from where we left off chronologically, it would have to be a completely different reality/timeline. I mean, does Laura even exist anymore? Cooper? It’s almost impossible to imagine Twin Peaks without them. I also can’t imagine any kind of ‘prequel’ is feasible. The whole thing would likely have to take place in the spirit world of the lodges/red room/convenience store. Then again, who am I (or anyone else) to question the imagination of David Lynch? All I know is that if there is another season, or even just a movie... it will be even more confusing and surreal than The Return was.

[@Brewzerr]

David Sears - Considering Lynch is 73 years old, I think waiting another 25 years isn’t much of an option.

[@Malnatis]

Really missed your videos.. thanks for bringing back the magic!! 🤓

[@aaronhussey4213]

Worth the wait. Astounding analysis!

[@crappymccrappen4897]

If Cooper changed history by saving Laura he will never end up as a prisoner in the Black Lodge. So maybe "Is it future or is it past" refers to this fact - in the past he is a prisoner, in the future he is a visitor. In the future we see him exiting the lodge as he wishes and Diane greets him.

[@Brewzerr]

I’m pretty sure that when Cooper ‘reset’ the past by going back to 1989 and saving Laura, he created a space-time paradox that collapsed every single reality he had been a part of. Therefore, he never existed. As the Arm’s doppelgänger told him in part 3 - “Non-existence!”.

[@opwave79]

I'm going to watch the entire series to commemorate the one year since S3. This time I'm going to see where and how many time glitch entry points there are. I somehow have the feeling that S3 shows us the repurcussions of Cooper messing with space time. This might explain how he isn't so tack sharp with the clues. Maybe he's getting them "out of order" and has yet to piece everything together.

[@theGreaterGood92]

opwave79 I think that the first scene of The Return may actually take place after the events of part 18. Fireman doesn’t offer Coop clues. He reminds him or shows him what the past Coop screwed up. He’s the Fireman after all - he extinguishes the fire. These are not clues but warnings. Cooper says he understands. This loop may finally end differently but we don’t see it ;) OR Cooper doesn’t screw up. I never got the notion that he has no idea who Richard and Linda are but that he tries to remember and struggles. In the end, even though Judy pretty much deceived him - he brings Laura home and wakes her up. OOOOR Cooper screws up because he doubts and forgets and the scene with The Fireman is the beginning of the new loop with Coop equipped with clues and ready to cross over.

I just re-watched the 1st one & I enjoyed it much more than the 1st time & I loved it the 1st time!. Time (& death) are 2 big themes running through the whole thing - the song at the end of ep 1 the refrain is 'for the last time', Eddie Vedder's song is about 'running out of sand' if I remember correctly. Anyway I've got a theory about Coop - bear with me - he's an idiot. We trust him cos he's always so positive & obviously a good guy but think about it, he turns up to investigate a murder & starts off by throwing rocks at bottles in front of a map of Tibet. Nietzsche said 'the words good and stupid have always rhymed'. Evil Coop is actually good at everything he does. That's why at the end Coop has to turn into Richard, a kind of mix of Good & Evil Coop. To destroy evil he has to become evil.

I've just started doing the same thing beginning with Fire Walk With Me.

[@benjaminconnor2411]

opwave79 i’m literally about to do the same thing, got the Blu-ray and my secret history copy as avcipher

[@Brewzerr]

I’ve found (through several repeat viewings of the entire TP canon) that the best sequence to watch it all in is literally in the chronological order of when each title was released. Start with the pilot, then all of S1, then all of S2 (except fast-forward through all the filler, like little Nicky, Evelyn Marsh, etc), then FWWM, then ‘The Missing Pieces’, and finally The Return/S3. Even though FWWM is where everything begins in the timeline of the story, there’s just too much going on with it that ties into what happens in The Return to watch it first.

[@michaelpalmer5351]

I've had another line of thought that might be a sign of my complete lunacy, but I'll say it anyway: "Two birds with one stone." If we think about the number 10 being the "number of completion" and circles/rings representing that; perhaps when two overarching yet separate spiritual matters at resolved at the same time, they enable a one-off time travel journey. Where have I got this from? Well I was thinking about the circles/rings of Twin Peaks, then thinking about the 8/infinity symbol that Jeffries shows Cooper and Gerard - and how that symbol is two circles side-by-side which, when overlapping, enable an infinite track and/or loop enabling a specific time destination to open up. So if those two happenings/circles are each a 'bird', then the 'stone' is the black dot we see land on the night Laura died. That's the only time there's an image on screen that shows 2 circles and a smaller 'stone'-type object. Thus, the night Laura died is the key to resolving the combined sequence of the 2 circles (BOB's defeat and...something else?) which are inextricably linked and hold the key to opening the path to Judy. Maybe I've got completely nuts buuuuuuuut....that's what I thought. :)

[@Wonderous39]

Wow! Was I thrilled to see this. Listening to you unravel the mystique of the most artistic series ever on TV was always part and parcel of season 3 for me. Accurate or not never mattered (tho I always suspected you were closer than anyone else), it was the unraveling and study of the episode that did. Hoping for a season 4 and not having to wait 430 years for it tho not holding my breath.

[@Pan1033]

Your enthousiasme towards this series makes me love it even more. Thanks for your work Wow Lynch Wow! !

[@TA-kv3nm]

I was caught up with s03 last year and watched the new weekly episodes. I watched up to e08, and then I left on a 3 week vacation...then I started another year of school and lost the motivation to finish. Yesterday I started watched s3e01 again and I'm super excited to find out what happens at the end!

[@TA-kv3nm]

Now that I finished it, I didn't completely grasp the end.

[@MrBojangles788]

I guess the timeline was changed and laura figured oit who she was after surviving instead of dying. Id assume theres going to be a 4th season.

[@nejjk]

_Meanwhile..._

[@KRAFTWERK2K6]

!!!!!hhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAA

[@behageli]

Great New edition, I have missed you.

[@firewalkwithme481]

Feels good to hear that intro again

[@TheWisestWizards]

I still can't stop thinking about this show, it's driving me crazy. Mission accomplished for David Lynch I guess.

[@shane_l8085]

I wanna do a whole binge watch from S1 to the S3 finale including 'secret diary/secret history/anything canon/semi-canon in between' all consecutively. But I have responsibilities unfortunately. Meanwhile...please keep making videos.

[@bigrooster6893]

It’s about time you did a video.

[@ZachGraves1]

My simple mind thought the real Coop finally got out the Lodge which is why he seemed like a blend because he finally returned to his old self mixed with the experience of the lodge

[@Brewzerr]

That’s actually more plausible. Sometimes the simplest answer is the best answer.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Great to have you back - can't believe it was a year ago, I too still remember the thrill of those first opening notes of the first episode - my heart was pounding. IFM! (itchin' for more!)

[@dudeandD]

I love this videos please continue to delve deeper into season 3 if you can.

[@chreath5746]

You do such a fantastic job with the details. Great work

[@Rihcterwilker]

It was frustrating at first, because all we wanted was more of the cheesy-paranormal sitcom of the 90s, but it sure was brilliant at what it gave us, teasing those expectations, because in the end it was something completely different. It kept me always interested on what's coming next, and I'm probably going to rewatch it now because of your video.

[@Brewzerr]

Anyone who was expecting the lighthearted kookiness of the first two seasons were setting themselves up for disappointment to begin with. As soon as it was announced that it was going to Showtime, and Lynch would not only be directing all 18 episodes, but would have full creative control... anyone who was expecting anything less surreal than Inland Empire was in for a rude awakening.

[@benjaminconnor2411]

I missed your videos , Thank you so much , keep making them man , There are a lot of us who are still around really appreciate everything you did while it was on the air

[@carlabackman9324]

I think I may have to head over to "Twin Peaks" for some cherry pie and coffee this weekend to commemorate! Thanks for the great video. Always look forward to your analysis of this brilliant show! :)

[@danniro8888]

I was drinking myself to death and doing other dangerous shit but looking forward to Twin Peaks every week and discussing the last episode every day with people online made it worth living. Such an experience.

[@Steampunkkids]

Thank you for another great video. Your theories always make the most sense to me.

[@CampingMIG]

I've missed your videos. Keep em coming.

[@user-lz2es3fs2f]

Info relevant for Twin Peaks: The black lodge is obviously the tree of knowledge/death (or Qlipoth). The Bob orb (the devil, the black star opposite to Kether) is the lowest qlipha of the the qlipoth tree, two opposite poles (recommended reading: Qabalah, qlipoth and Goetic Magick auth: T. Karlsson). The whole story is kind of a meta story. The tree of life represents the ego while the tree of death represents the shadow ego. I'd also point out that every sphere in The Tree of life contains a new tree made of 10 spheres, and each sphere of the next tree contains another tree - and so on - for ever (or dimensions in quantum physics for instance).One theory in quantum physics speculates that every possible outcome plays itself out in its own dimension . Another definition of dimension is frequency (432 Hz - Unlocking The Magnificence Of The 3 6 9, The Key To The Universe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6i9g4mYZ8uejtk). The watch towers in space refers to those mentinoned in Enochian magic and of the spheres in Qlipoth, and the giants are probably Nephilims. Another interesting aspect of The tree of life which feature in the series, is that of electricity (kundalini). In the first series Wyndon Earle, the genius and chess player, kidnapped 7 beauty queens. His character is based on the infamous occultist Aleister Crowley which had his scarlet women, which he used as mediums in the scrying process. Both also played Chess on a very high level. The scene where Cooper makes love with Diane may be a reference to sex magic.

[@__hjg__2123]

I assume the 3 "thumbs down" are from Bob, Judy and Trucker hat guy.......

[@Brewzerr]

And Lara Flynn Boyle.

[@chrisjfox8715]

Truck you!

[@PhantomCooper]

How do you know Cooper didn't understand the Giants instructions? I didn't get that impression. And even if Cooper had no idea where the path was guiding him, his intuition would have led him there either way. I think whether he realized it or not, they were at the right place and time in the final scene. I think the Chalfonts/tremonds were there to confuse Cooper and lead him away from Judy. I also think Cooper asking "what year is it" is a red-herring. I think the real question should have been whether they were in the right reality/timeline. But the year itself is irrelevant.

[@Brewzerr]

It’s not so much that Cooper misunderstood the giant/fireman’s instructions/clues. It’s that he was never instructed to go back to 1989 and save Laura, and in doing so he screwed up the plan that was laid out for him and got unexpected results. Those instructions probably would have worked out perfectly had he not jacked with the timeline.

[@chrishanson9402]

Thank you for this! I'm still itching too!

[@bobhill5791]

Glad to see you back!

[@imogene7399]

GREAT TO HAVE YOU BACK!! My husband and I were devout viewers of yours all throughout Season 3 last year. Your commentary and insight were a HUGE help in trying to figure out all of Lynch & Frost's puzzles! This was a real treat :) Ever think of doing other shows like Westworld?

[@ineuron]

I missed your videos dude...thanks for posting this excellent video

Is it future, or is it past? Yep. Hell of a season!

[@andrewwestwater7741]

Brilliant video, love your insight into the triumphant Return of Twin Peaks.. The beauty of Lynch/Frost amazing work is we can rewatch and reinterpret different theories of who is a Tulpa and who is not and when!? And we still might have it wrong, and never know, LOVE IT. Amazing, and please keep making these videos, much appreciated WLW 👍 ❤️⛰️⛰️☕🍩🚦🦉🔥😎

[@__hjg__2123]

Thanks for keeping it alive!!!... here's to hoping season 4 is in our future (in this reality or the other...)... Also, I agree.. as much as we all love Coop... it's the Fireman who really gets things done.... In the TP universe, the FBI never actually solves crimes...

[@davidsears5176]

Cole solved the Ruth murder, and found the portal to place above the convenience store. Cooper solved the insurance fraud in a diminished state. And in the conventional sense, if we ignore BoB, Judy etc... Leland Palmer murdered his daughter and Cooper solved it. That case was only 'open' for us viewers... for the world at large, it was a solved tragic case.
