The best analysis to understand the final double strand of Twin Peaks

Javier J. Valencia writes Mocking Bird the review on the season finale of Twin Peaks. An absolutely essential reading. A brief excerpt:

There were so many years of hearing screaming lobo when the day 3 October of 2014 Mark Frost and David published simultaneously that tweet that read that gum you like is going to come back in style (one of the phrases that was recited Agent Cooper in the dream of the Red Room on the third episode of the original series, and ultimately key to solve the murder of Laura Palmer) I finished not quite believe it was to mean they would come together to work on a new delivery Twin Peaks TV: maybe a novel Frost, or a book of photographs based on their imagination by Lynch, or even the announcement of a documentary about the ins and outs of the saga who lived two cathodic seasons between 1990 and 1991 and a jump to the big screen next year with the much maligned at the time film Twin Peaks, Fire walk with me (Twin Peaks, Fire Walk With Me) They seemed more plausible options.

Lynch had been more than two decades denying any chance of revisiting history in every single interview where he was asked about the issue and even closing the doors to possibilities that had risen in other media (the draft comic writer Bob Engels, also writer of several chapters 90 and co-author of the script of the film version- and illustrator Matt Haley tried to launch in the year 2007). The universe of Douglas fir forests with majestic sycamores and circles which appeared doors to other planes of existence only had reawakened, very briefly, in 1993 in the form of new introductions presented by La Dama del Leño (Catherine E. Coulson) for a rebroadcast on Bravo cable or chain that same year in a series of friendly spots for Japanese TV coffee brand Georgia with several of the protagonists of the original serial, all directed by Lynch himself. Since then all new contributions had been documentary to be added as an extra in the different editions on DVD or BluRay that successively were editing, reaching its zenith same 2014: a couple of months before the announcement of his definitive return to Showtime had appeared on the market the chest The Entire Mystery… and The Missing Pieces, which it included more than half hour of additional footage never seen the film for much longer than I remember it had been considered the Holy Grail of the twinpeakers, given the difficulties that had always presented the acquisition of rights of such material.
