When a bewildered Agent Cooper stepped back and asked “What year is this?”

I was stunned, I was emotionally staggered, I was confused but in good ways.

How are you feeling about the end of this journey?KYLE MACLACHLAN:It’s been bittersweet.

And then there was, of course, the excitement of what was to come.

And then as you said, the finish-up of the series.

It’s a mix of having felt like I was involved in something monumental.

That’s the primary feeling, and having such gratitude for that experience to return to working with David.

He made this amazing creation.

I can’t recall seeing you play someone as evil and as menacing as Mr. C before.

It was such a shock at first but you convinced me completely.

What did you like about playing Mr. C?A couple things come to mind.

And then there’s the belief that you have to have that you could do it.

He asked me and then it was, “You’re going to do this.”

That surprised me, actually.

It helped that that was [Mr. C’s] state of being.

For the most part, he was very demanding and quiet and powerful.

It felt like it was one of the purest nostalgia rushes of this experience.

So in the sequence of things, it was right where it should be.

I didn’t really know what to do, what to think.

When I watched it, I said, “Yeah, that’s Cooper.”

It seemed to be the right balance.

To be honest, I think we just hit it somehow.

And maybe even some critique or reflection on certain heroic choices that he makes.

What was your interpretation of Cooper’s final moments?

Especially the stuff with Diane, how did you feel about that?I’m still sort of…

I’m not sure, to be honest.

Not because he asked me not to [say anything], but I don’t know.

So, for myself, I consider them more kind of meditations, other possibilities somehow.

So I’m still processing what I saw and what that journey is and means.

So I didn’t know what to make of it.

To me, it felt like something had gone wrong.

What it was, I didn’t know.

But there was some kind of a flash of understanding.

What that understanding is, I’m not certain.

That’s what it left me feeling.

The show is really not about answering things, it’s about asking questions.

Which is frustrating to some, and to others kind of exhilarating.

I don’t know.

We’ll watch it!I’ll mention that to David for sure!

[laughs] I hope there would be a lot of people who would do that.
