It's sad the interview didn't start with a big HELLOOOOOOOOOOO
Kyle MacLachlan is very generous in interviews and gives well thought out and articulate responses
So does David Lynch. But he'll never tell us what we really wanna know. HAHA
That is why they think twice before they speak out loud :)
True. Very frustrating.
Kyle is one of those men like David Byrne or Bowie who just ages like a fine wine.
Bowie stopped aging last year, RIP.
wealth tends to help with that. wanker.
@@RobertSlover gtfo I'm poor but I'm one of those people. Lift, eat healthy, don't smoke or drink, and you'll age gracefully.
you are so very wrong about Bowie. the other two you are spot on. man.
Or Lynch. Never forget.... LYNCH
A testament to Kyle's acting: He mentioned the Woodsmen pounding on his chest, and for a second I was thinking "But that wasn't your character, that was Mr. C! Wait a minute ..."
That was my exact reaction hahaha
Me too!
same! just shows how well he can separate his characters
Same! Ha! :D
Remember what the arm said at the end of season 2âŠdoppelgĂ€nger ..
I cried when Cooper came out of the coma
we all did, I think...
I didn't, but I almost did when Margaret died.
I cried when Josie became a doorknob.
I screamed with joy.
It was a great moment. I had goosebumps and then the music kicked in.
That "I am the FBI" moment is the perfect embodiment of that particular brand of voluntary cheesiness Lynch is so great at. It pokes fun at this kind of one-liners in a clever and unique way.
It was unironically a great line. I saw it @ a viewing party & everyone applauded.
@@sirmount2636 lol that entire episode is a gag
I laughed so hard when he said it
It was funny, it was a "happy moment", with the music, but it was also quite disturbing to me... like, huh? Wait... no, this CAN'T be real... what year is this?
It is so Lynch. Profound and emotional, but absurd and stupid. Reference and parody, yet thoroughly original. One of my favorite moments in the series.
Did anyone notice he looks younger now than "old Coop" did 25 years ago?
ImPatience AmI yeah reminds me of Back to the Future where future older Michael J Fox looked ancient but in reality in 2015 he looked amazing for his age parkinsons aside.
Well said, so true. (both of yas)
He looks and acts younger in this interview than he did in Season 3. That's great acting I guess.
I think you need an eye test.
Coffee and cherry pie can preserve a man.
I like when he says that everyone's interpretation is valid. It's more about the journey not the destination. It was an amazing journey!
Yep. Kyle is a believer in the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reader-response_criticism school of literary criticism, clearly.
or maybe, unlike certain Internet Millennials, he recognizes all opinions as valid
No single generation has the monopoly on containing certain individuals who think their opinions are the only valid ones, so... not sure what's up with the cheap shot there. --signed, a Gen Xer defending Millennials in general (gasp)
Lori Mediate It sure was.
Meanwhile, David Lynch has said there's an exact correct interpretation (his intention)
This guy is scary good and really in a league of his own as an actor. The real Kyle is somehow âreassuringâ in he same way Dale Cooper is (the real one, that is). What an amazing actor and genuinely likable guy.
excellent comment. and maybe it is the answer to the interviewer's question "why does Lynch keep hiring MacLachlan?"
I was half expecting the final question to be "HOW'S ANNIE?"
aceroyplatadeluna What DID happen to Annie? I know she made it out of the Lodge but if they mentioned her at all in the new season I guess I didn't notice
the answer you seek is found in the final dossier. It wouldnât be very lynchian to tell you
She's fine.
Jacob Brandfas Every year
It doesn't matter how's Annie cause she was created by Frost just to fill the space for Dale's romantic interest
He's the finest lawman I've ever known. Ever since he came to Twin Peaks, I've had nothing but respect for him.
Kyle MacLachlan's performances in the new Twin Peaks were brain-meltingly good, and he seems so humble and gracious as a person in real life.
FOR GAWD SAKES, COOPER, WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? YOU'VE BEEN GONE DAMN NEAR TWENTY FIVE YEARS..........
STOP SHOUTING YOU OLD BAT. EVERYTIME YOU SPEAK, YOU SHOUT. STOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAP.
OMG FATHER JACK, IT'S YOU!!!
'Now what would you say to a cup father?'
One father Jack quote seems to describe the red room, 'Chair...curtains..floor..(gobshite)'
Imagine father Jack entering the red room with his perfect courage..
oh lord, I can only BEGIN to imagine all the memes this idea would inspire!! MAKE THE MEMES!
The lodges would be seriously outmatched by father Jack, I'd imagine him appearing in the red room in his own chair, with a bottle and his air gun.. and he would soon be dancing and picking flowers, lodge denizens quivering.. I don't usually make memes.. you (are welcome to) make the memes ^^
loved The Return and the finale...my one gripe is I really wanted one last bit of banter between Albert and Cooper...especially since Miguel Ferrer is no longer with us :( RIP
Not seeing our Twin Peaks Sheriff Truman as well, even if it would have been from a hospital bed; their rapport was a missed staple in this go around.
michael ontkean refused to join the show.
I heard he had initially accepted and was on social media talking about "dusting off the old jacket" but then a few months later he announced he would not be returning and that he had retired from acting so I feel like something had to have happened in that span of time...either health issues or negotiations didn't pan out
Apologies in advance for Albert!
Yeah sucks that Harry and Cooper never really had that interaction in this season I pretty sure they meant to have 1 interaction but behind the scenes trouble but that also reinforces the anti nostalgia that return is about.
I got chills when he said his heartfelt farewell to Bushnell and said, I am the FBI.
bagginsthemight
Kyle seems like such a genuinely nice dude.
Dude... I don't know if the interviewer reads the comments (for his mental health it's probably unwise to do so (in general)) but he was AMAZING! Asking really great questions and feeding off of the responses of Kyle which didn't feel unnatural or forced. THIS is how a great interview should be done. Excellent work, sir!
5 more seasons, please.
That'd be amazing. Even 2 or 3 more Season's would be great. As long as we get a season or 2 more to explain what's gonna happen with The Experiment/The Mother demon, to show what happens with Audrey, to show how Project Bluebook ties into everything and maybe have UFO & Aliens tie into the whole scheme of things, to give a bit more of an explanation or story on the jumping man, woodsmen & the old lady with her grandson, to show how Red ties into everything since he can perform magic, to show how Argentina ties into everything, and the list goes on. There's shitloads of things Lynch & Frost could expand on.
just 1 more season in the next 4-5 years would make me happy. end the whole series in 4 seasons would be the perfect length
Community fans' plea was "six seasons and a movie!" and we didn't get our movie (yet?) but we did get our seasons, somehow...
for Twin Peaks, I feel like "four seasons and two movies and two books!" is the rallying cry. 3 seasons down, 1 movie down, and one book down (one major book). One more book coming this fall around Halloween, I believe. So.... we need one more season, season 4, to at least SEMI-resolve some of the stuff left open after season 3. And then one weird and wild and wacky movie to be to seasons 3+4 what FWWM was to seasons 1+2. kthxplz, make it happen, powers that be.
I think the thing people are missing here is that no matter how many seasons of Twin Peaks we get David Lynch will always leave it open. That is kind of his thing and rarely do we get any concrete resolution with his works.
That's fine. Just... if we get a bit more, please to leave it open season 2/FWWM style, kthxplz Lynch and Frost.
If there's one thing I've learned from watching Twin Peaks, and I haven't, it's to always watch Twin Peaks at night. Always.
The "I'm the FBI" should have been combined with a thumbs up.
na, would have been too much. Its perfect the way it is.
Andreas Rönnquist my heart should be explosive
Nah.
The missing thumbs up for me simply meant, that the cooper who returned from the black lodge, as much as he was the same Cooper from s1+2 he was a fractured self, incomplete. You see indeed cooper at that point was split into 3-4 different versions of himself, the returned cooper, black lodge cooper, âdougieâ cooper & ofc mr c, in short no thumbs up my guy.
Cameron Paul McAlpine I think coop used his happy go lucky cheery personality for the dougie doppelganger
so glad they made season 3. it was a gift.
For what? Wtf
Agree!
@@aesthetic8780Shut your mouth.
This show makes me want to eat donuts and drink coffee more than any other show ever. Season 3 less so, so I eat cereal instead. That's what the show's really about.
this might actually be one of the best descriptions of the show iâve ever read unironically đ
It was indeed a bit disturbing seeing Cooper at a loss at the very end ~ just felt like someone yanked the rug out from under me~
Gina Matheny yea so disturbing,, like he fought so hard but seemed like he lost in the end
What year is it?
When coop woke up i legit cried. It was like a family member coming home you haven't seen in decades.
Twin Peaks wouldn't exist, in any form, without Mark Frost's writing. Kyle's performance was beyond great.
I wish Kyle was my best friend.
I wish Kyle in Portlandia's Mayor mode was my best friend.
Me too especially because that's my town!
Bradley J. Timm I first saw him in Blue Velvet when I was 15 and wow been a fan ever since
Hands down, Kyle MacLachlan was the best actor in any medium this year.
MachLachlan
MacLachlan
I was too lazy and just copied his name from the title without checking ... XD
I can understand that lol I was correcting the guy that originally corrected you and got it wrong aswell hahaha
It's a comment chain of MacLachlans... XD
David Lynchâs odyssey. Itâs crazy knowing this show has came from his brain. That mans brain is a creative chemistry set. When heâs done with cinema itâs gonna be sad. I donât think anyone will ever realize what he was able to with the medium til heâs gone. Heâs one of the greatest artists of all time. Like a Leonardo da vinci. Kyle has been fantastic in every thing theyâve done together. At least something in cinema is still surprising me.
As long as fans keep showing up to his projects, I think he'll keep making things. Lynch is an artist and they always need to be creating. Thanks so much for watching!
Don't forget Frost, most of the plotlines are structured by Frost, then framed by Lynch.
fully agree tyler.
Not to disagree with you, but Lynch might disagree with the idea that the ideas come "from his brain." In fact he has written extensively about the creative process (all tied up with TM obviously). Good stuff. Every human brain is a creative chemistry set. Some of us just go all in
I believe he's now retired đ
8:32 Damn good coffee!
I thought there was 4 Coopers. Coop, Mr C, Dougie, and Richard. They were all very different.
What about the other Dougie Jones, the one that was manufactured.
@@alessandro_ajm4278 Yep. That makes 5.
He might be in the the 10 best actors in the business.
There was something Hitchcockian (vertigo) in his performance in the last episode. Mentally strong men but actually broken in the end.
Class act. He deserves an Emmy nomination. Coop, Mr. C and Dougie are all great characters. Funny when he talked about Mr. C's "gather round".
I want Kyle's hair. His hair looks awesome. I don't know if I could manage that on my head....
I WANT HIS HAIR!
OMG I know! He has always had the most luscious hair! I remember in the old Twin Peaks... it was sooo black... hubba hubba!
malalo75 I want the Lynch bouffant
I'll even take Lynch's hair.
you should check out Morrissey's hair!
Lynch's hair is gold - wait sorry - silver. I dunno!
How could you pick Kyle's dune hair over Twin Peaks!? Slickety slippery smooth it was.
Also how recent did you see Moz's hair? his hair was incredible back in the day but as he has aged the quiff wave has seemingly disappeared.
For me:
1. Kyle (Twin Peaks)
2. Moz (80s)
3. Lynch (always)
4. Kyle (Dune)
5. Sherlock (BBC)
This guy is a great interviewer. And Kyle is a sweetheart
Spectacular actor! I will miss agent Dale Cooper!!!!!!
This is the best interview I've seen with Kyle on Twin Peaks yet. Well done.
I prefer to call him Coopleganger
I wish Cooper had actually DONE something in the fight with Mr. C and BOB. It was Lucy and Freddie that did all the "heavy lifting". Even Hawk wasn't there in the room at the time. He arrived late for the party (probably cause he was the only one who would have right away recognized the Evil Cooper wasn't the real Dale Cooper).
I know what you mean. Also, Hawk may have been a bit late, but not as late as Bobby. And Bobby wasn't as late as EVERYONE ELSE IN TWIN PEAKS WHO'LL NEVER EVEN GET TO SEE COOP AGAIN. Makes me sad.
But yeah, Coop ended up being more of a facilitator and deliverer of warnings (don't get near it, don't touch the body!) and ring-putter-onner type guy than we probably expected. But I was fine with that, other people had had pretty big moments in seasons 1/2/FWWM as well, Coop doesn't need all the glory. But yeah, after 25+ years of being stuck in the lodge or stuck in Dougie Coop.. you'd think he'd be doing more before he turns into Richard a few minutes later. ;_;
Anyway, if Andy shot someone in season 2 and Lucy shot someone in season 3, I think we can expect WALLY BRANDO to shoot someone if there's a season 4. The pattern must hold!
@@gfox9295 There are some explanations on CZcams that cover what may have happened @ the end of Season 3.
that scene felt deliberately absurd at first, but I took it as meaning something like, a completely innocent character was needed to defeat the force of Bob. the real Cooper was mixture of things despite having a lot of good - this is a dark view but I felt like he was maybe following his impulses/obsession with the case too much in the finale, even recalling Mr C in some of those moments. And maybe Diane had a similar realization and decided to leave.
or you could also see the whole thing as Cooper disassociating from himself and hallucinating the character of Freddy, because he didn't understand how he did it
Hes such a great actor that I totally forgot he played bad coop. I was trying to remember when dougie had men with black faces pound on his chest haha :'p
TraceurDom Haha, me too!
It was when Ray shot "Mr.C". He died for a bit but the black lodge entities brought him back to life.
Greasy McNasty haha no yeah i do remember its just I totally forgot Kyle was playing him which just shows how good he was/is
Haha ok gotcha ;)
TraceurDom that was supposed to be doppelgÀnger, not Dougie, and those were the woodsmen, like, got a light?
THANKS CBC! I never expected this. I need to start following Q again. Subscribed!
I think I won't watch other Kyle's interviews from now on because this was the most perfect one. Great questions!!
Thanks so much!
I love Agent Dale Cooper I'll always love this character with my whole heart
Amazing performance(s). All three characters are so different. He got them pitch perfect. He should win ALL THE AWARDS
So dougy was a symbol how thw main characters of modern shows are basically unimportant for the plot to work. The side characters will drive the story while the main (as wildcard for the audience) just floads with it. I loved the "what couch to buy" scene too. The typical plot of so many sitcom episodes where the couple is arguing about nothing
Amazing!!!!!! On SO many levels!
A multi DVD "making of" coming out? Whaaaaaaaat?!?!
They say it in the interview about this coming??
Hopin to a great blu-ray edition of the Return, of course, with a lot of extra
Ok, got the time they nominate it, i had lost it the first time :D
Yes, we wants our deleted scenes from season 3, precious.
I'm pumped to see all the special features! The Twin Peaks Season 1 & 2 Golden Boxset has some great special features on it too.
I don't have Fire Walk With Me on DVD or Blu-Ray yet though. Does it have any special features on it?
I think he was 'Richard' at the end of episode 18, right? Kyle says he was Cooper, but he didn't really act like Cooper during the Odessa part of 18. Therefore, Kyle actually had 4 different parts, not just 3.
This is true. And there's a theory out there that the Cooper we know and love went to live in Las Vegas with Janey E. Not so sure about that but it is a nice thought, in a way.
In part 18 they stopped at a Valero gas station and we saw the population of Odessa. That helps with deciphering approximately when this was happening. I'd like to interview Kyle. I bet I could ask some better questions. Focusing just along the lines of exploring who was that in Odessa train of thought. Would Agent Cooper have handled the cowboys this way? Would Cooper put loaded guns into boiling oil? If he would do it at all I'm pretty sure he would take the bullets out first, yes? If Cooper is now Richard why doesn't that ring a bell with him? He doesn't seem to remember what the Fireman said to him either. Cooper isn't the least concerned at the dead guy in the chair with the weird stomach wound? If that's Cooper then he has seen this before and it would mean something to him. Who was Mrs. Tremond talking to when she peaked around the door into the living room? Cooper just stands there looking defeated. Very haunted by all of this. I think it is an amazing finale.
Spahny1 I think he seemed different because he was in a serious situation and was totally focused on his mission of finding Laura.
I'm thinking he actually plays 6 different characters in The Return. 1. The Tulpa Dougie (from beginning with Jade) who gets turned back into a gold seed in the Black Lodge. 2. Evil Coop (doppelganger) 3. Real Cooper who everyone believes to be Dougie Jones 4. Real Agent Cooper after coming out of the coma 5. Richard/Cooper 6. Tulpa Cooper at the very end, coming home to Janey-E
I kind of think of Cooper-In-The-Lodge as a different character too. Just because everyone acts strange in that space.
Michelle Soucy Tulpa Cooper appears in 2 scenes: in the first one he acts like Tulpa Dougie, in the second one like Dougie Cooper. It's like a mixture of 1. and 3.
I think Dougie is something like a neutral between good and bad Coop: he's the unconscious. He doesn't make decisions grounded in anything he's aware of, but seems to be guided by some force to at least neutralize the wrongs in his life.
Just an absolutely lovely interview. It was perfect.
Great questions from the interviewer. Kyle Maclachlan is an international treasure. Wonderful work here! Thank you!
I just rewatched it. Fantastic.
Kyle is so underrated...he should play vilains/heroes in current movies
3 dislikes - from Mr. C, Bob and from Judy : - )
Also, that's a huuuge ass cup of coffee )
ha
Iâm not here to talk about Judy.
The Log flagged the video...
Annie too.
The thumbs up icon never seemed more relevant! What a great actor, and and even more wonderful human. Kyle is fantastic in every role, but Special Agent Dale Cooper is my favorite. This was a wonderful interview.
Great interviewer! Perfect balance of leaving space for the questions to be answered, yet maintaining total authentic rapport and conversational presence. Really impressive.
Bit intense with the eye contact though
I am impressed by this interview. It may be the best, from both perspectives, Iâve ever seen. Very personal and friendly and informative.
This is such a wholesome wonderful sweet interview. It could have been 4 hours long and i would have enjoyed every second of it. :)
Awh, man, just found out Harry Dean Stanton passed. I'm raising a glass to you now Sir! 91, good innings!
kyle is just so pure and likeable
Kyle is such a delightful, talented person. He better win an Emmy for this season.
great interview!!!
Great interviewer. A lot of Twin Peaks interviews get drowned out by the interviewers personal fandom. This felt very professional. Also excited for those future behind the scenes DVD's!
top-notch interview. attuned & insightful host. bless KM, his performances continue to bring the utmost joy. twin peaks is my all-time favorite show, tied with psych! if you know, you know! :)
this was great, thank you!
The nice guy vibe is so overpowering. No wonder he played good ole Dale as he did. Do not know how he managed to play evil Coop so convincingly. I guess it's called "actiing" but wow.
I really feel that's the show deserved more of an audience than it got. Everyone is obsessed with Game of Thrones when, I think, this was the more original and more thoughtful and creative show. It does demand more of the watcher though, which may explain things. But all good art does
Back to rewatch. ...
I totally agree. Everyone gushes over Game Of Thrones, Walking Dead, etc. But Twin Peaks is so much more brilliant. I think it's mostly because it is geared towards more of an intelligent audience that researches government conspiracies, Demons, UFO's & Aliens, multiple dimensions, black & white magic, etc. So not everyone understands it. I absolutely love it though. On Facebook, all of my friends are always talking about Game Of Thrones, but I'm always that 1 person that constantly posts Twin Peaks teasers & I always leave up posts praising it.
Let's not kid ourselves, Twin Peaks isn't intellectual, it's intuitive. The only requirement to enjoy it is open-mindedness.
Tomato Lemon Fair enough... It is pretty bat shit crazy & surreal at times. But it has a lot of knowledge & history spread threw out the show as well. They tie Project Bluebook, the Trinity Atom Bomb, Native-American history & a lot of Freemason symbolism into it. 95% of other shows out there don't accurately portray things of the supernatural nature. But Twin Peaks is pretty much bang on. If you were to ask most people out there what Project Bluebook is, or to identify different forms of symbolism spread threw out the show, most people wouldn't know what the hell you're talking about. So Twin Peaks is both intuitive & intellectual for that reason. People who don't know they're history & who don't watch documentaries aren't gonna understand it as well.
Tomato Lemon not so open that the brain falls out
Irene, I do agree with you, Twin Peaks blew me away, the return with the 25 years of waiting and all of the little things and quirks that makes Twin Peaks so brilliant. I think its not as popular because for one, its on showtime, a rather less used streaming service and the show is way over the heads of the majority of TV viewers. Lynch makes you work to put the puzzle together. TP is art, its like a really in depth music video. I like GoT a lot too but TP has effected me and moved me quite a bit more. GoT is just aimed at a more wider range of audience
this is one of the most beautiful interviews I have ever seen
I adored always his " ya" đ
What a fantastic interviewer!
I just want to say hi Kyle how are you I love your acting in Twin Peaks and I know that it takes an amazing actor to play all the different characters that you played in this last season of Twin Peaks... I've Loved this last season very much and good luck to you and much happiness to you and yours
Awesome interview! Kyle MachLachlan is awesome as always and it was wonderful to hear his thoughts about the show after the fact.
One more season of TP PLEASE !!
That was a gooood interview!
You're a wonderful interviewer! This was fantastic.
I love the idea of David having a gather round or a send off for Kyle (or as David calls him "Kayle") three separate times. Like it's "goodbye kyle it was nice working with you. Okay kyle time for your next scene"
Loved Twin Peaks as a teenager and this new series was brilliant. Coop was great.
dougie is coop as a baby lol.. love that
"David, why do you keep hiring me"
Kyle is awesome
That DVD he mentions is definitely going to be bought!
My favorite timelines is the one where original Cooper decided to go back to his wife and kid (Jones) after they won over bad Cooper and brought Diane back. This is the timeline where he knows all the characters from the original and acts like original Cooper.
The final episode Cooper and Diane are probably both manufactured copies that happened to escape the lounge. Obviously they wouldn't know that they're copies but also have the same information as the other Cooper and Diane. He and Diane drove a mid 1960s Lincoln continental car to the hotel. After he woke up with Diane gone, the car is a early 2000 Lincoln Town car, which suggest that they're in between the start of Twin Peaks and the Return series. The time jumped but Cooper is still the same age (plus the older Laura). We don't know if this is intentional or if they just didn't have the budget to de-age them, so it makes it really hard to dissect. Is old Laura the Judy of this timeline. She acts like she's surprise when Cooper knows the information he knows and pretends to be clueless considering she probably killed that man in the house. The fact that Cooper doesn't really care seeing a dead man tells us he's obviously not the original Cooper. When they get to the house, she does the infamous screams and breaks all the light. We know from the one scene of the old lady (possibly Judy) that bite that one guys face off, she also scream in the similar manner. Laura wouldn't have the power to break any light, but Judy would. It's all a dream so nothing matters anyways.
Of course, well all know that season 3 is just Lynch's excuse to write more speaking roles for himself LOL
I like how Kyle kind of talks and behaves like agent Cooper even when he's not reprising the role.
RedeemerNDestroyer optimistic, humble, rational, misterious, sincere
Lynch tends to write the character for the actor rater than find the actor for the character. Back in the original series he wrote the characters Madeline for Sheryl Lee and Audrey for Sherilyn Fenn. Neither character was planned out in the scripts but Lynch built them around the actresses after meeting them. With Madeline he felt bad for making Sheryl Lee play a dead body in a plastic bag on a cold day so he gave her a second role.
kyIe and naomi were so perfect with each other and in the story
Great interview. Love that Tom watched the show, too.
What a great interview, thanks for posting! :) I'd love to know how Coop experienced time in that 25 years. He's physically aged but cognitively was it years, hours, days, or more like a timeless dream? Such a rich show. :)
Kyle for an Emmy.
Kyle seems like a chill dude.
For me, the return was about the sheer power and finality of death. You can't change nature. The entire series was always about this sad, young life ending, and the sheer tragedy of it, and nothing can ever change that, even across realities.
Kyle is great, he has an amazing smile
FelonWind he was a big hunk of the cinema
Excellent work for a great actor and artist. Each role was acted seamlessly.
Kyle is Coop. What a gentleman. Refreshing.
Don't ask for another season. We did that before, Lynch punked us hard with The Return, and if he has to to it again he will punk is even harder. David Lynch doesn't believe in benign schmaltzy nostalgia except as a thin veil over the deepest darkness. And that's what Twin Peaks was always about: it had the trappings of a banal small town soap opera, but underneath...
The ending of something that you love is always going to be bittersweet at best, but given what Coop was up against and what he'd already lost (25 years of his life) it obviously wasn't going to end well for him.
The happy ending went to Dougie instead. As for Coop/Richard and Laura/Carrie, they died with Jow-Day in the Trap World.
I listened to this and I had once to hear this dude say how lucky he is. More, only because of how he looks is why he is were he is.
It ended with Cooper at a loss but he was still Cooper working on solving the next problem that presented itself. I felt sorry for Laura that no matter what happens she ends up in turmoil! Classic David Lynch!
NIce podcast! He is such a lovely actor!
Kyle MacLachlan is such a good actor that I forget that he's the one man that played Cooper, Mr. C and Dougie.
So happy for him
Man, I want to forget most of the good parts and watch the entire thing over again, but I guess I'll have to wait a few years for that.
Kyle for an Emmy!!!! Such a GREAT Actor!!!!
Twin Peaks didnt end with an question what year it is, it ended with Laura whispering something to Coops ear.
What DID Laura whispered ???
"Rosebud"
I don't think that's the ending. Wasn't that just a shot of previous whisper?
Surely enough - a lot of people say she whispered - We live in a dream or smth along that lines.
Be Sure To Drink Your Ovaltine
Maybe coop never left the lodge so Laura is saying "it was all a dream". Since Coop came in unprepared and lost he cannot possibly leave the lodge.
Some of the credits scenes this year were "just" a band continuing to play. But sometimes we got one like the week where we saw the motel courtyard outside Jefferies' room with the creepy lady hanging around (the one who let Dark Coop/Evil Coop/Dopplecoop/Mr. C/call him what you will into that room earlier that same ep).
And then after the credits all scrolled by, we saw her there in the shadows, bein' all creepy. So in some ways I do think that's still part of the ep. It's fair to say that a flashback to Laura whispering in Coop's ear is the last thing we saw, since... it kinda was. And boy do we wish we could overhear that flashback.
I love you Kyle
My theory about the finale (feel free to make fun of me): (SPOILER ALERT!)
Agent Cooper & Co. were following a vague plan set by Briggs, Jeffries, or Mike or the Fireman, etc. where they knew what to do, but not really many details, otherwise. But basically, Coop went to the past to keep Laura from dying, but maybe he didn't know he was going to the past until he got there. All he knew was that he needed to "bring Laura home". But all that truly needed to happen was the prevention of her murder so that after "*the return*" folks would think she was returning from having gone missing, not from being dead.
So, the theory is: the Laura that we knew was actually Carrie Page. She was a doppleganger that was swapped with the real Laura Palmer at a very early age. It makes sense as to why Bob was obsessed with living inside Carrie, just as he had Mr. C. In the red room, she says she *felt like she knew Laura* (followed by - sometimes her arms bend back).
Then, with Diane, Dale entered the doppleganger world. He knew that he and Diane would feel like different people because when dopplegangers enter the other world, they gain their memories - same as Mr. C (whose name in this world is Richard, or as I call him, Richard Sr. because his son's name was also Richard) gaining Coop's memories when he entered ours. But because Richard Sr. is now dead, thanks to Lucy, Coop was still Coop - somewhat. Certain essences of him changed, as we saw. However, Diane actually became Linda because, as we saw at the hotel, Linda was still alive. I can't explain the time change (where Coop is when he falls asleep vs. when he woke up).
So anyway, he somehow knows exactly which city to go to, to find Laura. Clearly, there are details of a plan that he was told that we weren't privy to, but based on his uncertainties, he wasn't given all the details, either. So, he found Laura (who thinks she's Carrie Page) and there's the dead body on the couch, but it looks like an orb came out of his stomach - so it's most likely a bad guy that she seemingly destroyed (she's good!). Fast forward to Laura standing in front of what should've been the Palmer house. She suddenly hears Sarah in her mind and begins to remember everything somehow (possibly on account of Carrie still being alive - now that she was never murdered), starts screaming, and Judy's doppleganger world starts glitching and possibly ending, altogether. It hasn't happened, yet, but we are left to assume Judy's world dies and Laura goes home - or that's the plan - two birds one stone. Coop hadn't put two and two together. He was just confused and following a plan, but once he had Laura, he didn't know where to go, or rather, how to get there. Anyway, I don't know if I did a good job of explaining, and I'm not even sure that I buy it 100% (because there's never any telling), but this is the theory that makes me feel the most excited about a prospect for Season 4!! Oh, please let their be a 4th season!!
