New Theory on Twin Peaks

This was posted by a user named ihadnightmaresofyou on IMDB. If you're a fan of Twin Peaks, you might want to give this a look. He has a great theory on the series, along with the movie. If you have never seen the series, I highly recommend watching it. Also, don't read any further if you haven't. Here is what he wrote:

"I'm surprised I had to come up with this one myself.
It's a long one, but here it goes. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE SHOW. THIS MIGHT NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.

Many people ask "How is Dale Cooper in the Black Lodge in FWWM, and why doesn't he want Laura to take the ring?"
Well, the ring is from the White Lodge. It makes it so BOB cannot enter them.
Then WHY would Dale Cooper want Laura to be subject to BOB's menacing? Because Dale Cooper IS BOB!!!!

Remember the very last scene in the show? With Dale Cooper looking in the mirror with Bob's reflection? That last scene was not a "cliffhanger" it was a twist.

How's Dale Cooper already in the lodge? Everyone ALWAYS says that the lodge has a strange way with time. Which is quite true. But, how come we don't see LAURA in the lodge? Because she's simply not there, yet. Dale Cooper has always been there.
How? He was stabbed in Pittsburgh and never recovered. Which is why we see him and Windom Earle's wife lying on the floor in the last episode. They're both dead.

Then what have we been watching this whole time?!?!?! Dale Cooper is in the Black Lodge, more of a purgatory, than hell. WHat you are watching. this whole "Laura Palmer investigation" is actually his sins being read to him.

Laura Palmer represents America. Like the country, she is a young, vibrant and beautiful young entity who, at her heart, is good and pure. However, she is seduced by the evils of this world (her drug use and promiscuity) and is ultimately murdered by her father, who is possessed by an evil spirit. This was Lynch's way of symbolizing the tragedy of America, a great country that has been corrupted and raped by greed, hatred and other ills. The character of Leland Palmer, the father, represents the government - generally benevolent and well-meaning in nature, it has been hijacked and controlled by nefarious powers.

But how could Dale Cooper be BOB?!!? That's a difficult question to answer.
What you are watching is very symbolic and isn't what's ACTUALLY happening. Special Agent Dale Cooper is dead. He died from being stabbed in Pittsburgh by Windom Earle because Cooper had an affair with Windom Earle's wife, Catherine. What YOU are watching is: Dale Cooper in purgatory.
His sins are being read to him. But what sins has Dale Cooper done? This is represented by BOB. You are not formally told what kind of person Dale Cooper was before you are actually introduced to him, which is what Bob's for. Dale Cooper, in the show, is the main protaganist, and is a loyal friend to Sherriff Harry Truman. He would NEVER sleep with his girl.
Then WHY would he sleep with his best friend's wife three years ago? Because Dale Cooper is NOT the guy you think he is. Dale Cooper is actually WINDOM EARLE and vice versa.
Sounds crazy, huh? Dale Cooper is actually criminally insane, which is represented by a criminally insane person, Earle, and eventually leads himself to his own downfall, the Black Lodge.
The ONLY evidence I can use to support this is when Windom Earl steals Dale Cooper's girlfriend Annie. It is an exact re-telling of what Dale Cooper has done.

Then what's up with Chet Desmond? Chet Desmond is a plot device to show you that Dale Cooper's life is being investigated. It's just an intro. When he suddenly goes missing by touching the ring, it shows you the first of many scenes involving the Black Lodge.

What was happening in the whole Philip Jeffries scene? Philip Jeffries is an old FBI agent who was previously missing in action for two years. HMM, that's the same amount of time it's been since Dale Cooper was stabbed, coincidence? I think not.
This whole Jeffries scene takes place above the forementioned "convenience store" It's mentioned in the show alot. This scene has commonly been called a "court trial" and I would agree. The scene basically states that BOB is "guilty" of stealing the garmonbozia (pain and suffering). Which basically means BOB has been entering people's bodies and causing trouble. Obviously, this isn't good for anybody. Something has to be done about this. HOW ABOUT THEY MAKE A RING TO STOP ALL OF THIS NONSENSE? And they do. The White Lodge claims all responsibility for it. (Mrs. Chalifont/Tremond and her granson present it to Chet Desmond. Mike (One-Armed Man) gives it to Laura before her death. BOB kills her because he can no longer enter her.)
The most important part of this scene: The Man From Another Place and BOB walk into the Black Lodge. Note: The very next time you see The Black Lodge, they have now produced a ring, but where's BOB? Oh he's right there? As Dale Cooper, and what does he say when they have FINALLY produced a ring, something to stop BOB? "Don't take the ring, Laura."

Who's Judy? NO ONE KNOWS. But many people believe Judy is Josie Packard's sister. This is the reason why she kept going to Seattle. Seattle is where Jeffries has been protecting Judy. Maybe this explains Josie's mysterious death. BOB kills her and asks "Coop, what happened to Josie? What happened to Josie?" Similar to "How's Annie?" Judy is basically another way to show Josie's lodge connection.
What could have happened that made Jeffries go to the lodge? Could it be that Jeffries's case was the exact same thing as Cooper's? Yet another retelling.
Then why would he visit Dale Cooper in his dream? Because Jeffries is trying to convince Cooper this isn't a normal dream. This is THE dream, this is his final dream. His end is about to come.

The rest is all of the things Dale Cooper has done as BOB. BOB, simply is Pandora's Box, all that's evil in the world."
