Both finale episodes gave me bodily chills.


Like, a serious physical reaction. Episode 17, during the 1989 segment, and episode 18, the ending. But, it was probably just Lynch covering up his mess with his trademark incoherence...

Ahem: "His auteur style of incoherence" (BirdmanT7).

The first portion was awesome but I can't say I was thrilled with what followed. Looked like a season finale more than a series finale. Apart from them taking out Mr. C and having a brief reunion with Cooper, nothing was resolved. Audrey wasn't even in it.

I guess those of us who are dissatisfied will have to hope for a season 4, and then hope that if it does happen there will be more resolution. There are certainly lots of potential new plot avenues. Audrey, Annie, Chet Desmond, maybe Harry.....and whatever the hell is going on with the Laura/Sarah/Diane/Judy(?) stuff.

I loved how the sheriff's department, Mitchum brothers and crew, and others just kind of watched what was happening in stunned disbelief. Way to go, Lucy!

I know, i swear to god i still have them...like i can't even talk.

Also didn't find out what if anything happened to Becky. Nothing more on Red. No explanation at all about the frog mouth girl.

You might have to connect your own dots. Bring a little bit of yourself to the table. It won't hurt.

reply

Nah. Too many different ways for that to happen. The ambiguous "leave it up to the viewers' imaginations" line you hear from film makers sometimes is a hogwash cop out. I don't need Lynch to come up with my own stories. If you've got a story to tell then tell it.

reply

Personally, I get bored with the excessive exposition that is the norm. I think I would require the viewer to do a little active viewing too, If I were behind the camera.

reply

So would I. That's clearly not what we're talking about here, is it?

reply

Well, it's, erm, clearly what I'm talking about.

reply

You really didn't think Lynch would leave you thinking a little bit about what happened? You've seen Lynch? Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, et al?

reply

This fucking guy....lol

I was hoping for more Twin Peaks or Wild At Heart than Lost Highway or Mulholland Drive. I'm a big fan of the former, but only like isolated scenes in the latter.

You're assuming there's something to figure out. I assure you my discernment is second to none. I love figuring stuff out. Lots of people criticize Lynch for being a fraud whose purposeful incoherence only appeals to pseudointellectual poseurs. I've often defended him over the years, arguing that he's imperfect but there is real substance to his work. It doesn't always just appeal to shallow morons looking for some cheap thrill that lets them pretend to be smart. It will be more difficult for me to make that argument after this finale if there is no follow-up. I'm hoping for a follow-up.

reply

I rest assured. There are certainly interpretations to be made.

reply

Oh I have no doubt lots of people will be saying lots of radically different things about it, as one can in response to any vaguely delivered set of stimuli.
