Read it a long time ago, along with Scott Frost's (Mark's brother, I think?) book of all Cooper's tape-recordings up until when he was sent to Twin Peaks.

I thought Sarah might be Catherine Martell at first. Somehow I'd see Catherine as more the type to be sitting on a couch watching a show about wild animals killing each other.

If a talking tree screams "nonexistence" in a supernatural realm and nobody is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

One thing I thought as it proceeded is that this is definitely for the die-hard Twin Peaks and/or Lynch fans. I can't imagine what a new or casual viewer would have made of it other than "WTF?"

It also seemed like they were trying not to show any more modern technology than necessary. The telephones, the crime scene camera, and the video camera in the interrogation room all had a very 20th century feel, and even the one cell phone we saw was a little bigger than normal, I thought. The only thing that really…

Hmm. I think I have that album somewhere, so I'll take a look.

Seems like they're going to lean a little more heavily into the supernatural in this series, and that this probably does portend a darker and more oblique style of storytelling. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. One thing I've always liked about TP is that its otherworldly entities really do seem otherworldly -…

Trump could be relevant to David Lynch. I'm thinking Cooper might decide to just stay in the Black Lodge once he finds out that Jeff Sessions is his new boss.

I think "Northern Exposure" and "American Gothic" drew some Twin Peaks comparisons too. There was also "Eerie, Indiana," which was more of a light-hearted, family-friendly show but still revolved around the device of mysteries popping up in a supremely weird town.

It was literally like twenty years ago that I read it - possibly on Mike Dunn's David Lynch fan site (which may well still be active). Other than that, I wouldn't know where it is now (if anywhere).

"Mr. O'Reilly, I need you to stand in front of this mirror while an evil spirit appears in place of your reflection while a ceiling fan spins ominously. Then say 'I want all my garmonbozia' backwards."
"What's that mean, 'garmonbozia'?"
"You see, we're going to reverse the sound in post-production so it sounds—"
"FUCK…

He wrote a comedy, or at least sort-of-comedy, script called "Ronnie Rocket" that never got produced. I did read a version of it online a long time ago and man was it weird, even by Lynch standards. Think an entire two hours of the On the Air pilot mixed with an Eraserhead-level disregard for realism. I think it would…

Yeah, I remember seeing it. At the time I was, I think, only 15 years old and eager for anything that matched Twin Peaks on the weirdness scale - not sure what I'd think of it now. Was the villain the head of a Scientology-esque religion in addition to his political scheming or am I thinking of something else?

I believe I eventually saw all seven episodes. Personally, I thought the pilot was laugh-out-loud hilarious - maybe one of the best-assembled "comedy of errors" pieces ever, and with just enough disregard for realism (IIRC, the guy with his suspenders stuck literally gets flung across the room when they snap back) to…

Was this Soc / Greaser divide especially pervasive in a particular time and place, and did they actually call themselves that? Not saying anything about the quality of the book, just curious about the sociology behind it.

"For me I am suspicious of all characters because this is BB/BCS and it isnt exactly filled with the most innocent people

I don't think she can be at the point where BB ends - there's no indication that Saul is in a relationship that he values or that he's making arrangements for anyone else when he goes to the vacuum cleaner salesman for his new identity.

Maybe getting beaten up is also where Krazy 8 decided to be an informant for the DEA? Though he'd have to have been doing it for quite a while if that's the case.

I think Chuck and Jimmy just bring out the worst in each other. Chuck always distrusts Jimmy and assumes he'll screw up or do something unethical even when he's trying to play it straight, and Jimmy has put winning Chuck's approval at the top of his priority list and behaves irresponsibly when he doesn't get it. Chuck…

Chuck might die, though I don't think he'll necessarily kill himself. I'm thinking that he might have another incident like he did in the copy store last season in a way that leaves Jimmy feeling responsible, and that will be the tipping point where he fully embraces the corruption of the Saul Goodman persona.
