   The story isn't technically wrapped up, but FWWM brings things full   
   circle and gives a profound emotional closure, even if the narrative   
   remains unresolved. I really love Fire Walk With Me, it's one of my   
   favorite movies of all time, and the last episode of the series is right   
   up there with it. Lynch created this really complex symbolic system over   
   the course of the series, and in those last two works, he's able to use   
   that base to go more avant garde than before. I would love to see him   
   shoot just one more scene in 8 years to mark that 25 years gone by.
