I'm starting to get the feeling that someone over at ABC needs to tell Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to just shut up. I can't think of any other producers that go so out of their way to be interviewed or speak their mind in the press. And I don't think it's doing the show any favors. The latest example is an interview Lindelof did for Wizard Universe. The problem I see here is that anything that is gained by giving the die-hard fans more of a glimpse at the inner workings of the show is outweighed by the fact that he is just adding fuel to the backlash fire. For example, Damon on why they killed Mr. Eko:
"...it told the audience that, "Yes, we are willing to kill characters that you love as opposed to characters that you just want us to kill, like Shannon and Boone or Ana-Lucia." That was an important thing to do, because I can't think of a character that was more beloved than Mr. Eko..."
Twin Peaks happened too soon for me. I believe I was in junior high around the time the series aired, and while I was certainly of the mindset to enjoy it, I simply had yet to discover the macabre surrealism of Lynch's vision. By the time I realized what I had been missing, well, I missed it. There may still be hope, however, as there are (somewhat unfounded) rumors that Lynch might consider bringing Twin Peaks back to the TV screen for a series of made-for-TV movies. Nothing official has been announced, yet, though.
