spoilers for the "last" Twin Peaks...


eep!

random comments:

* Doppelgangers. Coop's dark side escapes. As did Leland's (that's why the
other Leland is in the lodge, and "didn't kill anyone")... Laura's light side
escaped, leaving her dark side in the lodge. Sound somewhat right?

* Repeated dialogue. The entire scene in the RR Diner, with the german
  girl we haven't seen since the pilot movie, repeating the same damned
  thing ("couldn't jumpstart the old man?" etc...) Weird. And we see
  Mrs. Horne again, too...

* Ben Horne. Dead? Giving his last twitches before his soul leaves his
  body? Why the BOB music as Hayward kills him? And then Hayward's at
  the hotel?

* Hey, what DID happen to Josie?

* Briggs is the guy. He's the one who is told by the Log Lady that "Coop
  Is With Me at the Black Lodge"... he's got to be the one to save him.

* I'm hoping that Audrey, Andrew, and Pete ARE dead. 
  Just because it wouldn't be a rip-off that way.

* Whoever got that final scene right with BOB in the mirror, well done.

I can't believe we have to wait for a movie. But what the hell.. if there's a
movie, that's better than nothing. One day everyone will look back on those
last 30 minutes and say, "How did something like this ever get on a network?"

I praise ABC for letting it on the air in the first place. I praise Lynch and
Frost for not losing their vision and "dumbing up" the show. And I curse ABC
for pulling the plug. Unfortunately, programmers live and die by ratings. Even
though I think TP is one of the most ardently watched shows in america. Look
at the merchandise and books, for example. But it's an audience that doesn't
show up on ratings. It's a young audience, a demographically strong audience..
and I'm sure we'll all be there when TP returns.. whenever that is.

The gum we like will one day come back in style. Until that day...
