Actually, it's Todhunter. Which makes me wonder if this is, in some way,
a reference to Dr. Tod, the man who killed Jetboy in the first "Wild Cards"
novel.

Also, Harlan strikes me as being a Harlan Ellison reference..

in addition..

Twin Peaks reference in ep. #2: gee, a diner with donuts. coffee. earlier
(in #1) we get an owl, weasel.. and music that sounded, oh,
Badalamentiesque? (there's a word....)

This thing is rife with TP references. It really wants to be TP badly. Well,
as far as summer shows go, it's impressive, but it's certainly nothing great.
And it's a sad excuse for Twin Peaks, even at TP's lowest points. I can only
hope that "Golden Years" perks up once the flight of the three main characters
begins...
