I can't believe there's only one more episode left. These last two were absolutely brilliant though.

Boy am I excited for next weeks episode

 

But it's a bad show.

Hahaha, now that is what I call a doozy! More, more! Hope to read more posts from you in the future, great to see you spread your wings and fly. You've been a great addition with this back and forth over the last few pages. You've been out in the wilderness.

Did you know that the best horror is usually off screen? It's up to the audience to decide what is happening in their human mind. I'm sure you've heard about this in every single horror dvd extra but I'm just putting it out there for anyone who's been living without electricity for the past 50 years.

Now there are a lot of interesting theories out there about what is going on, but until we get some idea about where Audrey truly is, it's gonna be tough. And I keep coming back to the girl vomiting in the car, what is going on there. That is also key.

after coop wakes up in the motel everything looks more ''real'' then anything before and he acts more like a ''real' person, not a black/white, mc.c/cooper split stereotype, but as a whole person with its good and bad characteristics.

Nice observation.

You know the woman who opened the door? Shes the actual owner of the home IRL. Every shot with her was in HD high frame rate to make it hyper-realistic.

Of all of the weird stuff that occurred that might have meaning in hindsight I thought of the diner scene where someone yelled Billy and everyone in Double R changed. Billy was only ever mentioned in the roadhouse and by Audrey, which seems detached from the rest of the series. I wonder if that 'switch' was when Coop changed Laura's fate.

My latest thought is that it is all janey-E and Sonny Jims fault (via Cooper).

Cooper created a Tulpa for them to live a happy life at the start of episode 18.

In order for balance to be restored, some pain and sorrow was needed to counteract the happy life he had created.  Thus Laura was snatched away by Judy as they headed for Jack Rabbits palace.

If Cooper had not created a Tulpa for Janey-E / SJ (who possibly was Diane's half sister? Cooper didn't know this I guess?) then would that have been enough pain and sorrow to allow Laura to live?

avclub has good write-ups:

^ Oh haven't read that one yet. Vulture, Indiewire, and IGN had some good ones too

My favorite interpretation of Audrey's role in the new season - kudos to ATOP for this link

Also among the many things I've read on reddit one that stuck out was about how there's something very, very real about unexplained mysteries, the scene with the girl vomiting and the lady yelling like a car horn is a perfect example. Sometime weird shit happens, especially little or weird things only we as individuals or a community or a small pool of people experience, and we never get an explanation, often because other things take precedent. In the case of the lady and the zombie girl Bobby has a more pressing thing to get to and then the show's bigger plots carry on. There's no grand conspiracy to develop nor is a cop out of Lynch to add filler to the show. 

^ wow, nice. Really interesting to read!

Side note - favorite line from the finale is when Philip Jeffries says "It's slippery in here!"

I just love the mental imagine of David Bowie fumbling around inside a giant tea kettle trying to spit out numbers and symbols through the spout.

lol

What you don't see and what you don't know is, to me, more terrifying than what is presented to us and explored visually.

 

So Sarah Palmer moaning and making guttural growls off screen then dashing in to smash up the photo was indeed very sinister.  When nothing is happening on screen you can build tension and allow your brain to form ideas / look for things that may or may not be happening.

Laura Palmer did the same during their long car journey back to Twin peaks - "are we being followed?" - the answer was NO but whilst sat there contemplating what she was doing in a car with an unknown FBI agent, the fear was building inside her and the tension I felt whilst watching it followed suit.

 

A lot of Hollywood has forgotten this fantastic skill - eg Ridley Scott in 1979 giving us glimpses of the terrifying Alien beast hiding in the shadows, then is 2017 mainsplaining it to us with full-on CGI and a potted history lesson. There is nothing scary about having the entire situation and meaning laid out for you.

 

True horror lies in the human mind.

wise words !

Thanks for all the non-conventional filmmaking 101, it sure is a wonder that somebody makes something like that, i mean a girl vomits in background and no explanation or resolution is given, truly wow

part of me thinks the end was a set up for a new series...
