Subject: Re: Plotlines they could have left out From: larryy@Apple.COM (Larry Yaeger) Date: 1991-07-22, 21:16 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Interesting. Everybody obviously has different tastes in these things... I liked the Denise character, laughed myself silly at Leo's progress (in fact, since my wife bought a new pair of shoes while we were visiting Snoqualmie recently, "Ppppppt! New shoes." has become a standard in the lexicon; variations work great too... "Ppppppt! New booze." when ordering a drink, etc.), and I found the Gordon/Shelley/Bobby interactions touching and funny. Have to agree, though, that the whole Little Nicky thing should never have seen the light of day. And the James-and-the-other-woman story was pretty lame, though it didn't bother me the way it seems to have affected some folk. Before my recent pilgrimage to Twin Peaks, I rewatched the entire series over a period of 4 or 5 days. It was great! And it really showed how the pacing they had set for the show could have worked so much better if only it had been aired regularly. Even the worst bits, such as the Little Nicky storyline, really weren't that big a diversion when the shows weren't spaced weeks or months apart. One of these days I think I'll rewatch it one-show-per-day, which may be the optimal way to enjoy it, given the one-day-per-show pacing they set for themselves (though it'll be difficult to make myself stop after just a single episode each night). -- -larryy@apple.com "You wouldn't recognize a *subtle plan* if it painted itself purple, and danced naked upon a harpsichord, singing, 'Subtle Plans are Here Again'." - Edmund Blackadder
