Some very good efforts to get at Lynch's reality-destabilizing technique. A sort of obvious omnipresent quality that is very hard to characterize. Everything is made from cliched genre trops but slightly off.
Distinguishes it from X Files which came out around the same time and also has FBI agents investigating the supernatural. But X Files was much more conservative in its technique, the narrative was always grounded in normal reality in which weird stuff like vampires happen to intrude. It isn't ontologically challenging the way Lynch is.
Hey I had an insight, the presence of Lynch playing a character (and one who is a director) is another way of softening the reality-level-boundaries.
The wedge between knowing and understanding. I like that and sort of get it. Nonverbal felt knowledge vs. the visible objective rule-based order.

Is Ep 18 nihilistic? Yes, but Cooper still makes an affirmation (a small one). We are all in Cooper's position, lost in a dream. (aka heavy shit). Like an Arthurian knight, sworn to strive after the good.
