Thank you for the history lesson, however it is unnecessary. I was there at the time, and fully recall who was involved in the show.Gabriel wrote:Twin Peaks was created by David Lynch ***and*** Mark Frost. It included a lot of Lynchian quirks, but was far from purely Lynch. Indeed, he was apparently barely involved in season two.
It might be worth your while re-reading my post(s), as I very clearly stated that these were my opinions.
I don't recall saying that it was!?Gabriel wrote:This isn't some random Star Trek novel...
Great! However, the reason I wasn't suprised by the differing tones is that I have learnt never to be too surprised by David's work. Expect the unexpected.Gabriel wrote:The reason I wasn't surprised at the different tone of FWWM was precisely because the book had prepared me for it. The book even has the torn out pages seen in FWWM, years before they were seen in the the film!
Good.Gabriel wrote:I can understand your reticence to get involved in the sub-culture...
OK, firstly I don't recall dismissing anything. I merely stated that it wasn't my cup of tea.Gabriel wrote:...but to dismiss fully-sanctioned works by the children of the show's creators (one of whom was a TP series writer) that are part of the continuity is bizarre for someone who claims to be so into Lynch's stuff!
Secondly, I don't "claim to be so into Lynch's stuff", I am into it thank you. However, I'm not particularly comfortable with having to justify my level of fandom to anyone! It's not a competition, and I'm very comfortable with my appreciation of the man's work.
The last time I looked this thread was entitled: "A Twin Peaks Continuation ' For Or Against". I clearly made a schoolboy error in trying to explain my personal reasons for being against... Debate is good, but when it's taken this seriously my interest dies.
Gabriel, you most likely didn't mean to offend, but your tone was rather patronising, and I think it's worth remembering that we are discussing a TV show here. All opinions are welcome to me, but not when they are rammed down my throat.
Have a good day.
