Cooper crossed over, and as he told Diane -- everything may be different. The Diane he found was not Diane, the Laura he found could not be Laura, and the optimistic can-do Agent Cooper that we were (OK, I certainly was) so happy to see re- emerge was lost in the wreckage of his dreams.
I have never been as fascinated by the tortuous dark wraiths of Lynch as by his skewed portrayal of 'normal' American life, and that was certainly true of the finale episodes. To see Sheryl Lee and Sherilyn Finn today, after seeing so much of their entrancing characters in the inital TP was ... what? Riveting, certainly, and sad, and puzzling -- they have aged, and so have I, and so has everyone who was so fascinated by the original series. Incredibly brave of both these women to go all in for these portrayals. The overarching theme of life as a lonely highway was chilling & lovely.
As for Lynch -- all criticisms are valid, but his work is beyond regular TV criteria. The Showtime placement was genius --he got to make what he wanted, w/no commercial interruption, and no time limits -- and we were free to watch or not. He stands apart, and thank God he has given us so much to puzzle over, and argue about, and remember. So -- do we live in a dream?
