Also my brain:

Twin Peaks Mark Frost, David Lynch. 2017

Eat at Judy’s 558 E Anaheim St, Wilmington, CA 90744, USA See in map

I think it’s important to remember that there’s a reason we only have fractions of puzzle pieces here? what we know about the mythos comes from 

unreliable narrators, misinformation, misquoted historical inaccuracies

what we can perceive when we watch the show, which is subjective to each viewer 

so in the end what we’re left with is...not a lot to go on, as says Phillip Jefferies. And that s important because the focus of Twin Peaks has never been on spirits, it’s always been a show about people and trauma. 

If you pit your mythos interpretation against the characterization of the characters...what’s even the point anymore? What’s the point of all ‘Sarah Palmer was Evil All Along’ theories?? Seriously what’s the point? 

It’s a trap, like the quest for Judy itself. What is Judy? She’s a negative force. An abstract concept, who may not have an actual will of her own. If you focus on her too much you lose sight of what actually matters. 

In your trying to make sense of a mythos designed to be unknowable, you’ve erased the only concrete thing in the series, the focus of the series itself: the people and their pain.

It’s been confirmed by Mark Frost that what Dale Cooper does at the end of the series isn’t part of some master plan to defeat an all powerful evil force who’s been fighting him off. It’s done because he wants to save Laura Palmer. There’s no ulterior motive here. He just wants to keep a child from dying a horrible death.
