what is "TMP" and what do you mean "first time canonized in the dialogue" ? I thought they mentioned Toad a couple of times in the 90s show. Isnt he the fat guy who was always eating there?Mr. Reindeer wrote:You guys know this dates back to the FWWM script/shoot, right? The same actor/character appears there, and is named "Toad" in both the script and the credits for TMP. This is just the first time it's been canonized in the show's dialogue.nick1218 wrote:yeah that was really strange, why call him Toad at all?madeleineferguson wrote:Also... Toad has been recast.
I really wonder if anyone will ever shed light on the story behind this. The best I can imagine is that Toad became a writers'/directors' running joke on the show that DKL was only half-aware of, and he misunderstood or wasn't aware that the character had actually appeared on the show? You'd think Engels would have set him straight, but it seems like he can be pretty loopy when it comes to memory...so who knows. Definitely pretty funky. In my head, I just assume they're father and son.

I love imagining the life of the real Dougie. It seems like he might have had occasional depressive episodes that left him near-catatonic, which is why Janey-E doesn't take his behavior as being super odd (I believe it's this Part where she mentioned him having one of his episodes).- I wonder what Anthony´s and Dougie´s relationship was before. Did they go out from time to time, having fun with hookers and trying their luck at the casino?
I don't really agree with this. Yes, we come to see the Mitchums as somewhat complicated guys with some sympathetic/decent backstory (they were orphans, they've taken in the not-quite-there Candie). And yes, they go from wanting to kill Dougie to loving him, because he gives them a benefit (payoff on their policy). But I don't see them as having become nicer guys thanks to Dougie. For instance, if they suspect at some point after Part 17 that the new casino supervisor is stealing, I imagine they'll also beat him the same way.- Fascinating to see how threatening and dangerous the Mitchum brothers seem in their first scene. They seem like proper gangsters you don´t wanna mess this. In the end of show they´re loveable goofballs, just like Anthony. Another instance were Dougie´s "pureness" turns everyone around him into a good person as well.
I took this as being a budgetary thing: they couldn't shoot the actual explosion for some reason (maybe they couln't get the permit to blow it up on that street?). It isn't the best-edited scene in DKL's oeuvre, that's for sure.- That car explosion was edited really weirdly. They turn the engine -> cutaway to the little boy while we hear the car explode -> cut back to the exploded car with burned corpses on the ground. Really peeeculiar.
I thought the same thing!- Boy, Steve sure likes his dirty talk, doesn´t he?
