RIP Richard. Lol. Amazing death.

The fireworks show was quite impressive. The death? Not so much.
This show treats its characters like dolls to be thrown away when it grows tired of playing with them. Well, maybe not thrown away, usually they shoot them through the eye or makes their head explode instead of coming up with a satisfying conclusion.

I don't think Richard's story is over. Remember, Richard and Linda.... Two birds with one stone.

 

[Zombie James]

See, told you all Cooper was coming back.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The Audrey sequence was a lifetime top three television moment. Astonishing.

 

[Brian_FETO]

This is the greatest television there ever was

 

[Zoe]

This is so out of left field it reads like you read a spoiler and are trying to pass it off as your own speculation

She said she's in the sheriff's station. It's not far fetched.

 

[Camper Van Beethoven]

This is without question one of the best episodes of TV of all time. If you have the context of having waited many years for this revival and then watched weekly the new series, getting to this point is just absolutely incredible. I’m floored.

 

[Dusk Golem]

See, told you all Cooper was coming back.

Eddie Vedder's prophecy came true.

Spoiler

(Technically Part 16 is when we see Cooper again, but what he did in Part 15 gave him his mind back.)

 

[Courage]

That was so fucking good

 

[Intheflorsh]

The episode paused many times to buffer so I just finished, but, man, my face is wet from tears. I can't believe how cathartic that was, damn.

 

[traveler]

Can we just talk about how Twin Peaks and Half Life showed the ends of two very different artistic roads this week? Incredible payoff, after so long, here... and Half Life....

 

[catapult37]

Holy shiiiiiiiiiit this episode gives me LIFE

 

[fallengorn]

What a wonderful episode.

Coop coming back is the greatest thing ever.

 

[Flipyap]

That doesn't exactly suggest that he'll ever be important. It could mean that Doop fathered another pointless child.
I mean, sure, he could still come back as an electric force ghost, but if we're treating it as a death, that was just another character suddenly being pushed off the stage before their story got to amount to anything.

 

[hughesta]

that was the best episode of television I've ever seen. the Audrey moment made me shriek out loud, and I spent probably 80% of the episode with my hands over my mouth.

 

[Sickboy007]

: - ) ALL

 

[Zombie James]

Am I the only one who thinks Audrey might be in the nut house?

 

[Dusk Golem]

This episode will be jarring in my head for the next week I can already tell, but need to do something, but before I do...

Can I just comment how spooky the Roadhouse scene at the end was. It's such an unusual type of creepiness but it was pulled off SO WELL. Audrey, who most people have been hating, goes to the Roadhouse and all seems normal, seems the episode is ending. Then something randomly frightening happens as a guy runs in to punch another guy, and as Audrey is beginning to freak out suddenly the Roadhouse announces it's her dance, one of her iconic moments in the series out of nowhere. The crowds we've seen jeering and always present just all go silent and still, walking slowly over to one side of the room staring at the stage as a familiar melody kicks in and Audrey begins to dreamily dance. It's not like frightening, but it subverts expectations from the various roadhouse scenes we've seen at this point, what people have been associating with Audrey scenes, it catches you off guard and it's way too calm, quiet, and just comes off as sort of menacing as a result.

I don't know if it was just me, but that scene was wonderfully creepy to me.

 

[traveler]

I definitely think that's a possibility; the clinical looking environment and lighting at the end hints towards it.

She also had some visible scarring, probably from the explosion.

 

[Intheflorsh]

All the electrical noise suggested something Lodge related, but we'll see.

 

[Brian_FETO]

I wonder if the "smile" from Bad Coop is the Bob facemorph from one of the early episodes this season

 

[BlueTsunami]

The Audrey sequence was a lifetime top three television moment. Astonishing.

Yeah I'm surprised with how enamored and shocked I was with it. That's about as exclamation point you can make at the end of episode apart from a character death.

 

[Obscura]

Incredible.

I have so much going through my head right now that I can't think of anything else to say.

 

[mjp2417]

That's what I interpreted it as

 

[Sickboy007]

Sooo maybe decoy Diane was quite different from the real one, kinda like original Dougie. They both had an almost cartoonish style.

 

[brinstar]

y'all im cryin'

 

[kaskade]

I don’t think I’ve ever reflexively clapped to anything before. Cooper saying “I am the FBI” caused that to happen.

So worth the wait. As long as we have 2 solid hours of coop in twin peaks now, I’ll be happy.

 

[Big One]

Hrm I wonder who else in the series is "manufactured" in a similar way Diane and Dougie are. Though it makes you wonder if Diane has been around as far back as the original Twin Peaks...how long has this stuff been going on?

 

[Brian_FETO]

I will say, I could've really used a thumbs up to Janey-E and Sonny Jim as he walked away

Can't give it all away in one episode though, of course

 

[robotrock]

Laura Palmer obviously. The real one will come back in the finale.

 

[Sickboy007]

Laura Palmer obviously. The real one will come back in the finale.

Isn't Laura herself a very special 'seed'?

 

[Addi]

Amazing. Cooper coming back now totally makes sense considering he knows everything.
So many great moments and the shoot out was amazing.

So Cooper asked for a seed to recreate Dougie? That's interesting. I wonder where Booper got his seeds.

 

[Blader]

This was the best fucking episode of Twin Peaks. Holy shit I loved that. Coop's "I am the FBI" with the theme music swelling and his goodbye with Dougie's family have got to be two of the best moments of the entire show for me.

Stunning episode. I am not ready for this to end next week.

 

[Big One]

Laura Palmer obviously. The real one will come back in the finale.

Eh Laura didn't vanish like Diane and Dougie, though.

Guessing we're getting a Laura doppelganger and since Coop knows everything about everything apparently he's probably gonna solve the Laura Palmer case once and for all.

 

[Zombie James]

So, about those coordinates. I always assumed they were to that group of trees in the woods surrounding the pool of oil. But the sheriff's office? What could be there?

Naido

 

[Brian_FETO]

This has been 16 weeks of setup for what is essentially a movie next week

Let's fucking go

 

[JohnDoe]

It's okay to cry, right?

 

[Sickboy007]

 

[Zombie James]

Naido

Ahhh

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Naido

Diano = Naido scrambled. Coincidence? Probably.

 

[hugocésar]

I adore this show so fucking much. I know that some might just take it as one fan pleasing episode, but I thought it was balanced so well. It made me so happy.

 

[EverythingShiny]

It's okay to cry, right?

I did for pretty much half the episode once Coop came back. Everything was perfect.

 

[Nelo Ice]

I would have absolutely lost my shit if he gave a thumbs up.

 

[BlueTsunami]

You know some FBI agent TP fan is gonna use that line to pull some honies

 

[ResidentWeevil13]

It's like Christmas morning. Coop returning and Audrey dancing in the same episode. Lawdy

 

[Sickboy007]

You know some FBI agent TP fan is gonna use that line to pull some honies

 

[3rdman]

Great episode...so cathartic! Thank you based Lynch!

 

[Deleted member 80556]

It was incredible. Screamed like a little girl. I missed Coop.

I don't know if it was just me, but that scene was wonderfully creepy to me.

When I saw it at first, I said "crap, I guess this kills the coma theory", but then my mind immediately went to "unless...", and bam, when they presented Audrey's dance I knew that moment that something was very, very wrong.

But guys, isn't it too dreamy?
