10 Most Disturbing Twin Peaks Moments
6. What Year Is This?
After eighteen agonisingly cryptic episodes, Cooper, now fully recovered and on a mission to change past events, tracks down a woman he believes to be Laura, now going by the name Carrie Page. Without much persuasion (there is after all a dead body on her sofa and a conspicuous white horse on the mantle piece), they depart for Twin Peaks, arriving at night to the house of Sarah Palmer, ‘Laura’s’ mother.
Answering the door is a woman claiming to be Mrs. Tremond (played by the real homeowner and using the same name used by the mysterious old woman featured in the original series) who tells Coop that she has no recollection of a Sarah Palmer. Cooper then asks the big question, “What year is it?”
The sound of Sarah Palmer's voice calling Laura's name is heard and Lynch gives us the most fitting end possible - Laura/Carrie lets out one of the most blood curdling screams in television history.
Twin Peaks is finished, and the mystery still lingers like stale smoke in the air. What year is this? Are they the real Cooper and Laura? Do we even know what dimension they are in? Did Twin Peaks even exist? Disturbing, thought provoking rhetoric on the modern obsession with consumable TV darkness and the desire for answers. Explanation killed the investigation and by extension, Twin Peaks itself and this is what we were left with - Lynch, as usual, had the last laugh.
