       Another good point!  And one that I think the writers of Twin 
       Peaks (and Lynch/Frost) did not ignore!

     Here I diagree.  It is well known that the writers were having a 
hard time juggling all the characters and subplots of the show.  They 
WANTED to kill of some characters in order to expand on others.  This is 
part of making a series last.  The one interesting character in all of 
this is Cooper.  But that isn't enough to base a TV series on.  The 
writers were preparing (in vain) for a long stay in Twin Peaks.  Thats 
why all the carnage!
