Or maybe there's an idea (though probably a rough one at the moment) to have Wise's character play a prominent role in a fourth season, which would further link backstory details with this season (and maybe the first two also).

I've had this theory how they could conclude the series and do so in a Lynchian fashion, similarly to the time discontinuity of Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive:

Am I still the only one who feels that the Wally character was intentionally meant to be bad and his scene pointless? I saw it as Lynch and Frost giving the middle finger to early expectations that this Twin Peaks revival would feature a next generation cast and play out as a soft reboot that would help newbies get…

At the time when the episode first aired, I thought, wow, that's a lame justification by the writers.

My theory: Michael Cera's scene was supposed to be stupid and bad. It was meant to be a joke, which all the actors were in on.

There is supposedly unused footage of Bowie as Jeffries that wasn't used in the final cut of Fire Walk With Me, a lot of it with Bowie ad-libbing. So I don't think it's out of the question they could use this to bring Jeffries back.

The cheap looking FX come off as creepy because of their hokey-ness — like how a clown is meant to be funny, but many people find clowns creepy.

Wally's scene was stupid and bad — but I think it was intentionally meant to be so. I think it was meant to be a joke.

AV Club hasn't reviewed Episode 4 yet, but I cannot wait to talk about this: I found Lynch's performance in it to be unexpectedly moving. The scene with him and David Duchovny, and especially the last one. I felt like in the last scene, Lynch as Cole saying to Albert he didn't know what was going on and indicating…

I think he was a lower-caste spirit of the Black Lodge, who possessed the principal in his dreams so that he would murder his lover. This creepy dude-spirit was under orders of BOB-Cooper. The wife hired BOB-Cooper to frame her cheating husband. Once this task was pulled off, BOB-Cooper killed the wife. Just because…

It's turning out that not only is this an unapologetic Season 3, it also is picking up plot threads from Fire Walk With Me. Lynch and Frost have not made this a soft reboot or "here's a new younger generation of Twin Peaks characters who are front and center."

I'd like to predict this is a red herring. Because I'd like to think this character really has changed.

Have you seen Episodes 3 and 4? Minor spoiler if you haven't: they start referencing FWWM directly, and it looks like they will also address the unfinished business from that movie.

I think there should be more shots of the environment of Twin Peaks (trees, landscape, fog, lumber, etc.) as it looks today. Also, I think the title "Twin Peaks" is shown too early— it should fade in on screen in sync when the music melodramatically rises.

Interesting bit: Mulholland Drive was originally a 90 minute pilot. After ABC passed on it, two years after it was made, Lynch gathered the cast together again and shot an additional 40+ minutes to add to the end of the pilot to complete it as a movie.

I'm getting the bad feeling that BOB-Cooper killed Annie. Because maybe she knew that it wasn't really Cooper who came out of the Lodge.

What's (going to be) in the box??

Just my theory: an evil spirit from the Black Lodge who possessed Matthew Lillard's character to murder his lover. This spirit was dispatched by Evil Cooper, who was hired by the wife to make her husband kill his lover.

No.You have to watch the first two seasons AND the movie Fire Walk With Me. Even I, who considers himself a hardcore TP fan, am surprised that this series is making direct references to the movie, and appears to be in fact resuming unanswered questions raised in the movie.

Just wait — They're all fucking, man. lol
