I also think that David Lynch really has never given us an "unhappy"
ending...the one in Wild At Heart was horribly sappy, and I felt unjustified,
but in all of the rest of his "odd" films (excluding EM and Dune) there
has been a happy ending, when all is good.  The entire point of Blue 
Velvet was good trumphing over evil--the robin eating the cockroach.
Even in Eraserhead, by far Lynch's most dark and dismal film, a film
which constructs an entire universe as being bad, at the end of the film
Henry (the Eraserhead) is taken by the Lady in the Radiator into Heaven
("where every thing is fine") and they embrace.  
IMHO, I believe that Lynch is the cinema's biggest advocate of good over
evil.  The violence and wrongdoings in his dilms are rarely gratuitous
(except in a few scenes in Wild At Heart), but display violence as
something dispicable and wrong.  I believe that Lynch, in all his weirdness,
would want a normal, no-BOB Twin Peaks,  to be regarded as utopia.
