Interpretation of this statement varies.  Some folks agree with you that
the giant meant he and Droolcup were the same.  Others thought he meant
that he and the LMFAP were the same.  Somebody recently suggested he
meant that the Black Lodge and White Lodge were the same.  I interpret
it as you did.

Not sure what you or the Daily Telegraph are referring to, unless it's just
the 2 hour final episode that we saw here in the States (your last two
1 hour episodes were presented back to back as a single extended episode
on this side of the pond).  Latest word from Bob Cappel (sp?), head of
COOP, via a phone call from Lynch is that a theatrical film release is
going to happen.  Report of a TV interview with Michael Ontkean, I think,
agreed with this.  Someone spoke with Scott Frost (Mark Frost's son), and
learned that all television plans had fallen through; this was a couple
of weeks ago.  Film is supposed to be about last 7 days of Laura's life,
not any further resolution of the final episode's cliffhanger (as folks
have pointed out, this was intended to be a season cliffhanger, not the
end of the show... I wish Lynch would keep that in mind!).
