Twin Peaks Thread - S1&2 + Return + Fire Walk With Me

Here's a view of the last episode, including some arcane clues from past episodes that passed me by:

Appropriately, it's complete with a comment saying that the author has missed the point, from someone who knows better ...

Heh, I do think the author sort of missed the point. :-)

Would it really make sense that after so much messaging about the folly of trying to recapture the past that the grand plan was to send Dale Cooper on a time travel mission?

My friend & I figured Dale was supposed to, upon defeating BOB, try to fight against the root cause of Evil - the frailty within ourselves. The Black Lodge, or rather its low level inhabitants, can only infect us to the degree with which we pursue Evil (BOB originally arrives with the explosion of the atom bomb and the occult work of Parsons).

Dale instead decides to play action hero, and thereby suffers defeat once again just as his failure the first time 25 years ago led to the emergence of Dark Coop.

Or, at least, that's my theory and OBVIOUSLY I'm 100% right.
