I find it difficult to believe that if David Lynch sets his mind (and his
collaborators' minds) to it that it would be impossible to produce a
script which Kyle MacLachlan would *want* to do.  Perhaps the rumored
"prequel" idea doesn't appeal much to him - it doesn't do much for me,
either.

Hopefully, the writing team will take this as a challenge, and not as the
final defeat.
