I guess this is what bothers me the most.  Lynch comes on and
wants to do a non-traditional TV show.  Thats great.  So it starts
off like wildfire (come walk with me, sorry).  Fans go nuts, some
network executive says David we can make a buck here.  So rather
than do it right, here is the formula to use.  And David does it.

Rather than plan to complete a 'complete work of art' what you
do is plan a work of art you can work on as long as possible.
What you get in the end is an incomplete work of art.

Actually, we have an allegory here: Lynch is Coop, the black lodge is
ABC TV,  Lynch the black lodge and comes out tainted.

Oh well.
