To tell the truth, while I found the James/Evelyn/Malcolm storyline to be 
just slightly less silly than using a nuclear bomb to clear out a 
bookstore, I found James to be an interesting character. James Marshall's lack 
of acting ability is exceeded only by his lack of looks, but James Hurley 
himself is an interesting character. Maybe I only think that because I'm 
a Desert Rose Band fan - they have a song entitled "Running" which I 
think relates a lot to James:

"My hometown is filled with broken dreams
 Folks back there are runnin' from life, it seems
 I left as a young man running from a memory
 And I'm still runnin' - I'll always be running."

James is trying to escape from Twin Peaks, which has been the embodiment 
of frustration ever since he can remember. His mother and father are 
never around, he is taken care of by his (dare I say it?) hick uncle and 
crazy aunt, his girlfriend and her cousin are both murdered by an evil 
demon, and he just cannot handle it any more. So he leaves. 
Of course, this is just my interpretation. :>

You know, it just occured to me. Will the broadcast hiatus have any 
effect on the licensees of Twin Peaks? For instance, the three books that 
were on the way, the TP line of cherry pie, coffee, etc.
