Yo Doug, Audrey is in hell where she belongs. An eternity of deep introspection and good meds is just what the doctor ordered for that chick.

I love it as a whole but I hate where he's leaving us. Really? the 17th episode felt more like a finale. WTF!

I would have been fine with the ending if it was understood that another season is in the works. The whole of episode seemed like a setup for another season. In the meantime episode 17, which was really like the end of a season or chapter in the twin peaks saga, was good but felt rushed. I feared we were in trouble when it began with Gordon Cole reciting an unusually long amount of exposition-though it actually explained very little.
All kinds of story lines dissapeared without a trace, especially Audrey's. And I don't think this was supposed to be a Mulholland Drive sort of thing either (even though that was an ingenious creative trick to make an abstract, intentionally ambiguous movie out of a failed TV pilot). It's not that the story lines weren't tied up, its that they mostly weren't left dangling in a very artistic place to make us ponder them. In this case, unless Lynch has been planning another season all along, I feel like he let the material get away from him. I hate to say that, because I'm a huge fan of his creativity and was certainly not looking for a a conventional ending, but my initial reaction is disappointment.
