Not just FWWM, but the film's outtakes that only appeared on the complete story blu-ray box set. I don't know how many times I've seen FWWM over the last 25 years, but seeing clips of "The Missing Pieces" on YouTube drove home how much of this series is coming from something I've never seen before.

There was literally a scene several episodes ago where Cole took Albert aside and said, "Let's stop and go over everything we know so far." The law (FBI agents or police) seem to exist in this story just to get all the fragments lined-up.

I've already complained this week about the Letterman biography that came out earlier this year, and here's another thing: there's a really interesting subject brought up that the writer does nothing to follow-up on. He talks about how the second wave of writers on Late Night were all white, Ivy League-educated men,…

Six Finger Satellite were from Rhode Island, so Sub Pop's panned for gold from there before.

I felt like the writer wanted to do a book about Merrill Markoe and was told it would never sell, so he made it about Letterman so he could whine about how Letterman went downhill after the 1987 writers strike because Letterman decided to base his shows on his personality and not the writers' room high-concept comedy…

Hey, words hurt!

Moving season two to Saturday night at 10 was what killed it.

To be fair, that interview was done last fall.

Has anyone listened to those Paul Shaffer free jazz albums? They always intrigue me, but not enough to actually listen to them.

There were a few people not just the obvious one, although they were all consensual. At least two people were named in that terrible Letterman biography that came out earlier this year. The blackmail attempt probably overshadowed a lot more bad news about Dave.

I can't remember that performance in particular, but Karen O being given over the top attention by both Dave and Paul was an running gag through all of the YYY's performances on the show.

Letterman started two different shows with a girlfriend, his eventual wife worked on one of his shows, Conan was involved with a Late Night talent coordinator for years. These guys don't really have jobs that allow them the luxury to interact with a lot of people outside of their work environment.

Tom Waits was the first signee to Epitaph's alternative adult label, Anti-. They probably had no idea how to market that stuff, so they just threw it on the punk comps. It's too bad the comps stopped in 2005, it would be cool seeing Mavis Staples on those things today.

They covered the Monkees' "Stepping Stone", which led to every soon-to-be Dischord band covering "Stepping Stone", ergo The Monkees are the godfathers of DC Hardcore.

My point is that the story is what it is. You either accept it for what it is or you don't. Once Dougie's family and workplace were brought into the story, it was pretty anchored into what it was going to be. Yet people week in and week out think he's just passing through, like it was the glass box or the purple room.

Anyone else check out the Dean Hurley anthology that came out last week? I'm listening to it right now. It's filled with low hums and other ambient sounds from the show. It has the electricity sounds that the woodsman makes and one of the pieces, "Eastern European Symphonic Mood No. 1" was one of the credited songs…

The bass player always gets the best looking girl…'s friend.

I doubt that's true. Renee (the crying girl) was one of the friends with Shelley in episode two when James walked into the bar and they talked about him. It was a continuation that.

The actor who plays the Giant is a Dutchman; Jeffries has gone to The Dutchman (not an actual place). The series started with the Giant telling Cooper "it is in our house now." It's all coming together!

For something not to hold up it had to have been good at one point. Even at the height of my Lynch fandom in 1990-1991 it was a pretty weak work.
