Psychoanalyzing the finale could take weeks, but here's a thought
to start off with.  Cooper's mistaking Annie and Caroline suggests
a bit of ambivalence on his part about the relationship -- he's
confusing the love he had for the two of them.  Perhaps he sees
Annie as a replacement for Caroline.  But then, going from the two
images of the women he's slept with to the face of the evil (i.e.
slutty) Laura might mean that he's not well-adjusted to the idea of
sex in the first place.  (I'm not even going to touch on what that
means about his feelings for Laura Palmer -- but he did dream about
her kissing him...)  Anyone else who wants to start shoveling this
stuff is welcome to take over...
