My theory is that it's Twin Peaks reclaiming the mystery that had been forcefully taken from it. The finale is a desperate search for answers and a resolution, Cooper thought he could save Laura but he obviously couldn't, what happened always happened and this is punctuated by the harrowing scream that the show ends on.
The credit screen takes us back to the red room and the moment Laura whispers something to him, but this time it is kept a mystery, we will never know what it was, this time Lynch and Frost got to keep their mystery to themselves.
Friendly reminder that it's been confirmed that Eddie Vedder recorded a song that plays during the Twin Peaks finale. It confirms Agent Cooper never gets his mind back. (Pic is evil Cooper)
My theory is that it was fucking shit for 3 seasons and happily it ended
If you hated the show why didn't you stop after a few episodes?
i don't like making theories, I just feel the dread
everyone dies and the show is stupid the end.
just started s1, when does it get good?
The credit of the last episode of season 3
wtf is this true????!!?
good one! jk fag shut the fuck up
My theory is that you didn't get it.
I don't think it's that complicated. She just remembered who she was and what happened right at the end and freaked out.
Cooper brought Laura to Twin Peaks and it did something.
they're in a weird alternate reality cooper created by pulling laura out of the old one
they reach the place where her alternate self suffered insane trauma, and she gets the heeby jeebies
Theories? Just watch the complete explanation you dummy.

Pretty much this senpai. I wouldn't read too much into it
Go away, brainlet. That video misses half of the plot and forces the other half into an inadequate interpretation.
What year it was?
we need to go deeper
prove it
Prove what? That this "all is just criticizing TV" is reductionist bullshit? Really? You need proof for that?
Just think for yourself.
So, you have no proof. As expected from a detractor.
I've sadly already spent the full fucking 4 hours watching that shit and it was just dumb, to reduce this show down to being some fucking meta nonsense is sad and missing the point of Lynch as a filmmaker in the first place.
He reaches so hard, it gets so ridiculous that it's hard not to laugh at it.
Thank god more of us exist, seriously that video was fucking bad.
and until Lynch verifies that theory as absolute truth you have no proof either, retard. But looking into the filmography of Lynch, and him as an artist, it is pretty easy to quickly jump to the assumption that he's not the type of guy that would write fucking drivel like this. The fact that Lynch historically has denied time and time again that Twin Peaks was any kind of meta soap opera deconstruction should be proof enough that he's too sincere for this idiocy.
I've posted long refutations before, as have others.
I'm not going to repeat that same stuff here just to get you to stop trolling.
Just know this: That guy is stupid enough to first criticize others for being nitpicky and obsessed with details, and then goes on to deliver the most nitpicky interpretation ever that relies on nothing but minute details.
Some dumb butterfly effect thing.
>heh you went back in time and saved Laura? enjoy being in a different reality
to quote an user from a previous thread.
>"Imagine thinking that David Lynch gives enough of a shit about the dynamics of fucking network television to produce 50 hours of content that all serve to critique it with clearly defined and rigid symbolic correlatives. Imagine thinking that any artist worth a shit operates in that kind of manner."
>"It doesn't take a genius to recognize that Twin Peaks is very self referential and meta, but it does take a retard to think that that one aspect is the defining characteristic of the show that literally everything else extends from and autistically loops back towards."
I will never watch a video like this. It may well be correct in what it's trying to say but I would never in a million years sit through an 18 hour season of episodes and at the end of think that I need to watch an almost 5 hour YouTube video to explain to me what David Lynch so eloquently put in to film for us. You people make me sick to my stomach.
If you want a work of media to mean something you'll surely be able to find plenty of evidence you can creatively interpret to mean that thing but it's very optimistic to assume that other people would want to listen to four hours of you justifying why it means that thing to you.
It's beautiful when people come to different conclusions about something and discuss thise conclusions but, like, hours of someone explaining his conclusions to you... I don't see how that's fun.
Laura's scream is her waking up and breaking free from Judy. It ends right there because the dream is over.
Based.
>No, really
pompous asshole
>Laura's scream is her waking up and breaking free from Judy
I literally got the opposite feeling. The scream is her remembering all the awful things she went through and despite what Cooper tried to do, he failed, he couldn't change anything.
>pompous asshole
He really is one. Just look at the part where he talks about Lillard and Belushi as if they were idiots, just because they loved getting overwhelmed by the experience, when both of them seem to have a much better grasp of Twin Peaks than he has.
>pompous asshole
You have no idea if you haven't watched the full 4 hours just how much of a pompous asshole he really is. This superficial reading of the show, which assumes nothing about it was ever sincere, just secretly coded messages and metaphors for fucking television criticism.
It's hard to truly go into how idiotic that theory is, and it is a damn tragedy that fans are accepting it, it is tragic that it has as many views as it does.
based letthefearwashoveryou poster
I'm kinda in the same vein. Cooper could've settled for vanquishing his evil doppleganger, and Bob, once and for all, but he went too far by trying to save Laura as well, and his punishment is this strange yet familiar alternate reality, trapped with a woman who might not even be Laura.
>it is a damn tragedy that fans are accepting it
"Fans" aren't accepting it. Those who know Lynch and his other films don't value this bullshit theory all that much - and they are usually very open to people offering their own takes.
It's the normalfag reddit crowd who's into this video.
if you guys want a good analysis that goes deep into the themes of the show, as well as factors outside of the show as well, I highly, highly recommend Lost in the Movies.
It's 4 parts, and all of them together add up to a very long watch, but unlike the Twin Perfect nonsense, it's actually worth watching. This guy doesn't insist upon his own theories, he doesn't claim to have figured out a grand truth to the show.
Thanks fren
Dougie get happy ending
Unless it retcons Audrey Horne back into an 18 year old lusting for Coop's dick (regardless of his age) I'm not interested in the third season.
I didn't even make the videos and it makes me happy to hear somebody consider giving it a watch. The guy definitely deserves more views, his dive into FWWM and the history behind the release of that film is really great.
He's releasing the first part focused on Season 3 in April/May, and I am really excited to hear what he has to say about it.
Definitely looks more promising than that Twin Perfect shit. Not sure it's gonna tell me things I haven't read anywhere or thought of before, but I'll take that chance. Thanks, user.
For a moment there I thought it said "Twin Perfect" there instead of "Primary Colours".
He deserved it, and I'm so happy he was given one. Las Vegas and Dougie Jones was the best part of season 3.
He's a big ball of love.
Twin Perfect's 4 hour video is pure kino and you guys in the thread are retarded plebs for throwing shade.
The man decoded Twin Peaks.
>The man decoded Twin Peaks.
There never was anything to "decode", brainlet.
I've been watching long reviews and theory videos ever since I finally watched the whole thing last year. I'm now rewatching the return for the third time, so these new videos you said will come in handy.
There's a channel called space cadet with good observations on the series, but the man seems to be schizophrenic and sometimes it can be overwhelming to watch him reality and fiction.
Yes it was.
Otherwise there would be no mistery.
Based.
>Otherwise there would be no mistery.
Your understanding of what "mistery" [sic.] means is severely lacking.
It's a dream, Coop is the dreamer. In the Monica Belluci dream, Gordon sees young Gordon, but young Gordon was looking at Coop who just told him about his dream
Fuck off nerd
Great argument!
Where's yours?
Read the thread, troll.
Why do you have to act like children?
Because this Twin Perfect video these redditors are shilling is made for children.
The most kino moment of the series was when it showed a thought bubble of Andy imagining the devil Child.
Andy, Lucy and Dick was peak comfy. Especially when Andy and Dick joined forces
The guy has a point about the meta but it's like it's been previously said on this thread, pushing it to be the only theme and a decoded revelation is one of the many absurd stretches the "God of light" guy seems to make
I saw it as a bit like Donnie Darko in the fact a tangential universe has been created and is being made unstable by Cooper's attempts to reconcile what he knows with what is actually happening at that moment. The end is where the walls of the universes start to break down and events/memories from one start to bleed into the other due to Coop's meddling.
