![]() So I like to think Windom was inhabited some time himself and this has gone a ways toward his derangement. Dale's autobiography subtly hints at Black Lodge presence around Windom's old stabbing incident - and BOBland references the attack directly to Coop during interrogation. It's almost a meme now to mock Windom by way of Dale's reference to his 'brilliant mind' but they all seem to miss that Windom's gone off the rails since Dale knew him. I mean, sure, he's still a bit of an asshole, but he's much less of one than he was at the beginning of the whole thing. Also, you could have dragged Mike away from Nadine for a second to use him as a contrast to Bobby - it'd highlight how much Bobby has changed in the span of the show. I also really liked her relationship with Bobby, which gets put on a shelf when Wheeler rolls in, if memory serves. A single example - how does she handle Annie? Is she happy for Coop, or does she get jealous? Does she still have feelings for him? Not only is he himself pointless, but he drags Audrey away from other storylines that could be more interesting. He's boring and his only place in the story is so that Audrey gets paired off with someone. Wheeler, on the other hand? Exhibit A in my ongoing case against giving every character a love interest. It's telling how well he worked in the right hands. He was unsettling in small doses, but his overexposure made him come off a bit too silly to be taken seriously until the series finale - which is when David Lynch himself took a crack at writing and directing him. Truthfully, 1-9 and 17-22 are actually very good, and aside from 11-13 the middle part isn't actually too too bad, but it's definitely shadowing in comparison.Įarle's ok, but I think he suffered from a bit too much screentime. Nothing to do with attempting to be weird, more to do with just trying to create something out of nothing to keep the show afloat. I see the James plot line getting the most hate, but that Norma plot line was just shit. That subplot with Norma was absolutely terrible and went on far too long. Aside from the odd tie up of loose ends (Ranault, Cooper's shooter, the ordeal with the Packard's) you just have a ton of nonsense. They took very minor plot lines and blew them up into bigger plot lines, and also added in a couple of filibuster acts to keep the audience interested (ie James). So you have a writing staff who has zero direction from their creators and nothing concrete to follow up with after the murder wrapped up, which is why you end up with episodes 10-16. ![]() Their other biggest plot line outside of Laura was going to be Cooper and Audrey, but a relationship between MacLachlan and Boyle actually scrapped that idea from happening. ![]() Lynch was upset that they forced his hand on revealing the killer and Frost was gone shooting a movie. At the very heart of it they just had no plot to go on so they needed to invent subplots to bide time before they could transition into something else. ![]()
