It was not written as a series finale. David Lynch has indicated quite clearly that it was written to try and force the network's hand to commit to a third season. (You can verify this fact by watching a discussion with Lynch and audio commentary in the bonus features in on the DVD Gold Edition Box Sex).<br /><br />Kenton: almost everything in that final episode was an unresolved cliffhanger, aside for the fact that Bob begins to inhabit Agent Cooper. <br /><br />Season three would have been interesting, Lynch indicated (in those same bonus features) that the third season would have seen an internal struggle of Good and Evil within Agent Dale Cooper; all the while Dale Cooper being unaware of Bob... thus, investigating himself and his crimes unknowingly. <br /><br />Kinda related, be sure to check out the 1992 film "Fire Walk With Me," directed by David Lynch. It was filmed and released after the series was canceled. A decent movie, but a prequel to the series. It does not address the unresolved story lines from the final episode of the series.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249462325940637023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285930287778705862.post-25374676512038992412010-05-26T14:09:18.143-05:002010-05-26T14:09:18.143-05:00OZ had a great ending.

If I recall, it depressed me for a week. It wasn't just that Agent Cooper became the thing he was hunting all along -- if I recall, all of the main characters either were killed or had their lives destroyed.K.I.

Though I really wish any and all TV shows and movies would refrain from using "Breathe Me" ever again, because it just throws into sharp relief the fact that they fall far short of the mark.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510898402863376936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285930287778705862.post-27202714823029455672010-05-25T13:57:29.214-05:002010-05-25T13:57:29.214-05:00I had Cheers as #1 when asked the same question th...I had Cheers as #1 when asked the same question this morning, with Blackadder (powerful last five minutes), Rome, Star Trek TNG and The Wire trailing to the top five.Brianhttp://www.stateofthecity.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285930287778705862.post-90206354324143986642010-05-25T13:16:28.093-05:002010-05-25T13:16:28.093-05:00Six Feet Under is by far one of the most touching ...Six Feet Under is by far one of the most touching and perfect series endings.
