She only appears in part 18 as the alternate-reality Laura-that-isn't-really-Laura that Cooper tries to return to Twin Peaks. There is a Dale Cooper who will live a happy life in Las Vegas with Jane-E (Naomi Watts) and Sonny Jim, but that is only a salve to take the edge off knowing that The Real Dale Cooper may never see the people he loves ever again.Įven if more episodes were to come to the fore, it's very possible that it wouldn't really be "about" Twin Peaks - the place or its citizens, that is - at all Lynch has expressed some inscrutable amount of interest in expanding Carrie Page's story. It would be understandable if some didn't want to leave it there. It might even feel unfair to fans who appreciate Dale's gentle nature that he's been punished so severely with no forgiveness given that what he did going back in time to try and keep Laura from being murdered at all was motivated by compassion.
If you consider that an end, that's a sad one. Frost alluded to this in his IndieWire interview, saying, " felt like the right place to end it, given that Cooper had kind of defied the rules to try to undo a terrible wrong, but ended up paying a terrible price, himself." We would need a much longer article to get into the possible interpretations of that episode, but it is part of the point that there is no stated point to the almost-totally-dialogue-free final episode - it's more about emotion, and experiencing those feelings through the questionable morality in what Cooper chose to do trying to rewrite history.
It's a pointed question with a very nebulous answer, but here's why you may never see another season of Twin Peaks. Surely, Showtime would appreciate getting to air more episodes of such a beloved cult series, but do David Lynch and Mark Frost, the original co-creators, have more to tell? Some fans believe that the finale episode is an intentional cliffhanger. Philosophical assessments of television as an artistic medium aside, the brass tacks of the situation have caused many to wonder if there will be another season of Twin Peaks in our future. Given Lynch's penchant for never explaining his creative intent in any way whatsoever, it's fair to assert that all interpretations of the season - and its extremely cryptic ending - are valid. What any one viewer got out of those 18 episodes depended heavily on what type of person you were - a Twin Peaks fan, specifically, or, more broadly, a David-Lynch-the-auteur-art-film-director-type fan.
Twin Peaks: The Return ran across that summer in an 18-part event on Showtime, and the legacy it left behind in changing its canon will be discussed and puzzled over for another 25 years to come. 2017 heralded a surprising moment in television history: the resurgence of Twin Peaks after 25 years off the air.
