I asked Scott Frost specifically whether they had reshot
any portion of the final episode(s) when it became known
that Peaks wouldn't continue on ABC.  The answer was that
nothing was reshot -- the season ending was left as it
would have been if the show had continued next season.

That's a Lynchism that he seems to want, though I haven't
figured out why.  If anything I'd guess that they cut a fair bit;
there were parts that didn't hang together very well that suggest
a few pieces got left on the cutting room floor, or its electronic
equivalent.
