David Lynch talks about Twin Peaks. He obviously knows what’s up with Cooper, but doesn’t want to talk about it. In addition, he says:

I know ABC asked you and co-creator Mark Frost to wrap up the Laura Palmer murder mystery much sooner than you wanted—
About 10 years sooner! [In a previous interview with EW, Lynch revealed that his original plan was to resolve the Laura Palmer murder mystery at the very end of the series. The idea was that the ongoing investigation into Palmer's murder would reveal mysteries within mysteries to be solved, crimes within crimes to bring to justice.]

Yeah. That sounds great, and while I definitely didn’t feel the need for them to rush in to reveal the killer…if Twin Peaks ended up being a 7 year show, and you didn’t find out who the killer was until the end, it would have inevitably been a letdown.
