What exactly did the cops do that he realized that they were corrupt? He said it to Dougie, and when he met the three brother cops, he was doing the fist-clenching / hand in pocket thing that Lil did in FWWM to indicate there would be problems with the local authorities.

Jesus, the extreme close-ups for an hour. I felt like I could touch Letterman's beard.

Norman Lear gets a brief passing mention from Letterman at the beginning, but Norm does nothing with it.

I've been thinking more since I wrote that earlier, because enough of my time isn't devoted to this show, and I'm thinking people are making too big a deal of Mr C's ability to manufacture people. The only people who seem to have been manufactured are Dougie and perhaps Maj. Briggs. Dougie is clearly a clone of sorts…

Ah, okay. It wasn't listed yesterday when I initially linked to it.

I guess it's just easier for me to imagine Mr C. befriended the wife, tipped her off to her husband's affair, and nudged her into an affair with her husband's lawyer and the killed her to frame the lawyer than it is for me to imagine he created the wife and had her live with her husband for years and years, then…

I've never bought into the idea that Hastings wife was not human. I interpreted the line as Mr C. sardonically commenting on how easy it was to manipulate the wife into doing what he needed her to do.

I interpreted "the Policeman's dream" (coffee, doughnuts, etc) just as some weird Cole way of lumping things together under one banner, like in episode three where they are discussing a case and the camera pans along the evidence and Cole calls it "The congressman's dilemma."

Sizemore seems like someone pretty likely to die. The brothers hate him and the go between with Mr. C. seems like he's not going to be happy if Sizemore fails in his new task to kill Dougie himself.

Sorry, I actually gave you too many spoilers. The real way Belushi ended up in this series is the same way Frank Silva ended up in the original: he was a crew member accidentally caught in a shot and Lynch cast him from that. Lynch was trying to get a really long shot of Jacques Renaud, and Belushi, who was sweeping…

Belushi is Agent Dale Cooper 25 years later. He is hunting down his Doppelgänger who has been living his life for the previous quarter of a century and is not happy about it. He also works as a janitor at a bar, but only sweeps floors to classic Stax tunes while dressed as a Blues Brother as a winking aside to the…

One of the baseball kids' last name was Frost, so probably Mark Frost's (grand)kid.

I posted elsewhere in this thread that the actor appears to be Smokey Miles.

Bookhouse Boys reunion at Jack Rabbits Place?

In addition to the aforementioned key showing up in Twin Peaks, the failed attempts on Dougie's life has been acknowledged by DoppleCooper, so we've seen Dougie's existence reach out to the Twin Peaks and South Dakota stories.

Smokey Miles is who I've seen listed online as the piano player. As I said earlier, Twin Peaks isn't listed, but his filmography is weird: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm…

It also explains why Lynch didn't accompany the cast to ComicCon.
