Sorry, Jeff, but I'm glad the writers did it the way they did.
I, for one, am glad the Laura Palmer arc is over; twenty hours
was enough. I enjoyed it immensely. Some weekend, I'll drag out
the tapes and a bottle of good single malt and watch the whole
thing in one sitting, secure in the knowledge that when I watch
the next broadcast episode, the good (and bad) folks of TP will
be dealing with some other set of problems.
