I think if everyone had settled into the 'Dougie, not Dale Cooper' idea and not been just 'waiting' for the 'real' Cooper, they'd have appreciated it more. It makes so much sense as a choice now that we've seen how it's panned out.

I can't tell you how happy I am to see an Eerie, Indiana reference. That show was glorious, and yes, I do own it on DVD
