They were just overjoyed that it wasn't going to be Kasdan. No one wants to work on fucking Mumford In Space.

That's pretty hot.

Wait, Glastonbury Grove?

I can dig that.

I was 20 when Willow came out, and I was excited. I loved Howard at that point, and Lucas was still Lucas to me (rather than Jabba the no talent Hutt he devolved into). And I hated it.

Just youuuu and Iiiiiiiiiiii.

Exactly. What you could do on TV in 1991 was something they had to work around. And the film let you know that those limitations were now out the window. But there was no point where I ever thought Leland was absolved by the TV show, anyway. Working within limitations, Lynch wanted to depict how evil and good can…

How's Annie?

I would totally applaud getting a major network to air an hour of a guy taking a dump. What an accomplishment!

He teched the tech. I think that was pretty straightforward. Just doing that much was more real world exposition than I would have even expected.

If Bob is simply the metaphor for the evil that men do, then it makes sense for Laura to be the metaphor for the innate good that is also present. That humanity is a constant battle between its own darkness and light is pretty much metaphor and reality. Just look at our history, or at the current climate in which we…

They did have that exact conversation after Leland died. Coip, Albert, Harry and the Major struggle with what it means, with Harry most clearly laying the blame squarely on Leland, even though he understood the darkness in the woods. I think that was as close to depicting a "decent" man really being an incestuous…

It seems the primary response (including my own) to the original was "How in the hell did they get that on the air in 1990?"

Kubrick wasn't the first do it himself. Ultimately, we're all ripping off Homer, Cevantes and Shakespeare.

The connection between the bug and the same hobo army that helped Dark Coop causes me to believe there is reason to see it as Bob. But I think it's premature to decide either way. Lynch may not provide "answers," but time often provides clarity. I strongly doubt we were supposed to understand all of 8 without yet…

Remembering that it was 1991 on ABC, I'm sure there was no way they would have been allowed to make Leland fully responsible. They were luck to have been able to intersperse Leland with Bob during Maddy's murder, or depict it that horrifically at all.

Look up metaphor. No one is absolving rapists. Quite the opposite.

It can be two things.

Plans are already in place. Season 4 will drop in 2042.

They had one of the biggest surges of signups in their history before the premier. I'm sure they are cool with all of this.
