[QUOTE="David Locke, post: 303, member: 44"] It’s a fascinating topic and one that has been discussed in detail by people far more eloquent than me. But, I think it boils down to the fact that the show ABC thought they had in Season 1 was only a glimpse of what Lynch and Frost ultimately wanted to do. Things were always going to get weird and unconventional whether they solved WKLP or not, it’s just Lynch’s style. But the fact that the show had little or no interest initially in giving a firm answer to the mystery is what ticked off viewers and ultimately ABC. If you think about it, Episode 14-16 is hardly that long to wait to get the answer people wanted, if anything to us TP super fans and to Lynch it seemed too early, too rushed… it would have made more sense to reveal the killer in the last 2-3 episodes of Season 2. But I’m still happy with the way things worked out, and I don’t know if Lynch’s Ep 14 would have been nearly as astonishing if it weren’t created in that weird environment of mounting pressure and then outright demand to reveal the killer. Constraints and misfortunate working circumstances I think tend to bring out the best in Lynch (BV having to be a 2-hour cut, even LH having to be trimmed down as well, MD being miraculously turned from failed TV pilot to feature film masterpiece, TSS working beautifully within the confines of a G-rated Disney film, Frost and the other crew providing essential balance to Lynch’s ideas throughout Twin Peaks, etc). If anything, I feel that Lynch completely removed of constraints tends to make stuff that I personally find a bit tedious and TOO bereft of structure and formal rigor, like IE and certain parts of The Return which I do generally really like.
