SPOILERS
Nightmares and Daydreams. Third eyes and blustery fog, cogs, and machines.
Darkness attacking the light. The light fucking fighting back and gritting its teeth.
Illusions and inquisitory abstractness beyond our realm.
David Lynch teaches with images. And even in my very small amount of research from watching Eraserhead, I think Mulholland Drive (but not sure) and my favorite Lynch fucking -film ever Blue Velvet. He just fucks with you in the most abstract ways. We study and study him and we still don't come close to the abstract -horror-surprise mystery that is Lynch.
Just before typing this article and I am sure listening to Parabola by Tool, helps not my consciousness thoughts; that we are swept into David Lynch's visions. Maybe his dreams?
As a fan, I had no idea he has dealt with Aphasia. He seems awkward like a Tarintino but my god it is not that bad people. He is viewed as weird but I think he is brilliant. Dreamers, do-ers are always seen as weird in society, because they challenge society, they challenge what it means to think artistically, abstractly, to get off our couches and use our brain. No matter how damaging and barbaric the images are.
Twin Peaks season 3 is pure Lynch and representational of good and bad compassing for the position the whole show. Naturism, our own dualities with each man or woman. You see we all interpret shit differently. What you see as a frog. I may see as a magical frog. Perception in essence is and always has been the reality. Twin Peaks has always been about the mystery surrounding who killed Laura Palmer. WHo did it? Was it BOB ?> Was it an entity? I have a ludicrous theory through watching the show based on an article I read, that Laura Palmer who we thought was dead was not.
So what happened? The most common theory about this unsettling conclusion — and there are a lot of theories — is that Cooper and his secretary Diane Evans crossed into an alternative dimension in their car in the hopes that Cooper could save Laura from her original, grisly fate. Unfortunately, Judy, the all-powerful entity who thrives on electricity, saw through his plan, and stuck the duo in alternative dimensions for the rest of their lives with no chance of returning to the “real” Twin Peaks ever again. With flashbacks earlier in the finale, it was also implied that when Cooper traveled back in time to rescue Laura in the woods before she arrived at the train car for her certain death, his interference actually prevented her from dying. Co-creator Mark Frost’s new book, Twin Peaks: The Finale Dossier, confirms that is indeed true.
The novel, which is a part of the show’s canon, is told in the form of classified FBI files, and the last chapter picks up immediately after the events of the finale. Agent Tammy Preston stayed in town for a few days to cover the aftermath for the FBI and perused old editions of the Twin Peaks Post to aid her research. What she discovered while reading articles confirms that history was rewritten for Laura Palmer’s story.
According to Devon Ivie from www.Vulture.com
You know what else I discovered, Chief, in that same article, a few sentences later? This:
“Agent Cooper had come to town for a few months earlier, to aid in the investigation into the disappearance, still unsolved, of local teenage beauty queen, Laura Palmer.”
Let me repeat that phrase for you: “still unsolved.” No mention of “murder,” “wrapped in plastic,” or “father arrested for shocking crime eventually dies in police custody of self-inflicted wounds.”
It’s right there on the front page: Laura Palmer did not die. So, fairly certain I’ve not misplaced my own mind, I go back and check the corresponding police records. They tell me this: Laura Palmer disappeared from Twin Peaks without a trace — on the very same night when, in the world we thought we knew, it used to be said she died — but the police never found the girl or, if she had been killed elsewhere, her body or made a single arrest.

Mark Frost’s New Twin Peaks Book Explains What Those Final Scenes Meanty
And it is Lynch telling us this based on HIS CLUES. You have to always pay attention to these dream plots with Lynch. We are the detective and he gives us bread crumbs to follow and make our own theories. But my god it gets complicated. You'd have a brain aneurysm if you never watched even the first season.
So for me, this is the culmination of the end of Season 3. Cooper dun fucked with the other universe, timeline or reality. Whatever you want to call it. And this entity we never see but know exists called Judy locked Cooper and Laura and his lover Diane in this timeline. Laura Palmer has always been the main storyline in the show. Yes, a crucial part is how BOB came to our world. He is the personification of evil > Pure evil. as we already know. It is also my estimation that the boy with the gardening glove did not kill that evil. He merely sent it somewhere else with that fissure of fire. We have no idea where. Also, as there is too much to analyze there is the idea that the frog fly thing was made out of the nuke. Which is true but what is the symbolism? According to this awesome Youtube video I agree with a bunch of their theories of season 3 but sorta different on the frog fly. I don't think it was BOB. I think it was not even Sarah Palmer. I think it was just a conduit of evolutionary evil that could possess humanity. It was just a small sliver though. And that is what Lynch I think is saying one evil deed can ripple our timeline with dire consequences. But the show is not just about light trying to win it is the precarious man fighting himself with full dualistic reproach. We are neither good nor evil according to Lynch. But cold hard evil is capable of the consumption of mankind. We can be taken over by it lickity split. Oh here is the youtube video so you can form and break down the information. I found them helpful to still figure out the whole summation of season 3.

I mean really I was extremely pissed off at this closure we have been pining for. In season 2 we got a bullshit ending. In season 3 let again a cliff hanger. Laura screams. Cooper asks What year is it? Meaning no closure at all.But goddamn if this show was not incredible from Season 1 - till now. I cried in one of the episodes because of how fucking good it was. You've been with these characters from the beginning. I will forever miss you log lady. You're in my heart. Everyone in the show matters. I don't care if you are a secretary. Everyone plays a part in the show. Seeing Audrey return was incredible. It is however alleged she is in a dream state. You do see a white background and her panicking/Not sure where the fuck she is. Now another odd theory I have is Brad is probably the guy sedating Audrey in her dream state? Not fully developed but just my insane theory I guess. I could be dead wrong. And that is cool. There are more hardcore Lynch fans out there. But I am definitely a big fan. James does what? I mean he survives lol but what else?
I think the giant to me is a god who does influence our world. But he's not evil. We always see him help Cooper. I think he is like neutral. But I think he is a guardian I guess...I dunno. Why did the real Diane disappear? Was she hunting down Judy? Will we ever see Judy? I wanted to see JUDY. The arm to me is another entity maybe? I dunno. Maybe he is not. Maybe it is something that lives in the red room and is another guardian. Maybe there are multiple deities as well. That is why it is super fun to think. I am happy to see Evil Cooper is dead?? Or not? I dunno. I hope so because those log fuckers were really creepy. Did Judy give Evil Cooper time to plot and figure out?? I dunno.
We can speculate. But Lynch decided to end the show on another cliff hanger. That fuck! God, I love him but sometimes I hate him.
Twin Peaks season 3 was as surreal as Lynch has been in some time. SO many great characters. Andy, Lucy, Hawk, too many to list and I am spent.
