Hmmm...seems we just have a basic difference in outlook here.  Perhaps
I'm just not getting something.  I just can't see how if Lynch is still
being "weird" that he's "run out of ideas".  By the very fact that
things are weird...they are ideas.  Perhaps you just don't like
them...which is your taste.  It just seems like you're saying something
to the effect of "he's run out of ideas so he's using these other ideas"
(a contradiction, of course).  Sorry if this has become a gooey sticky
'ol flame-sounding thang.  I'm just trying to understand the
criticism...and perhaps I'm a little defensive about having Davey's show
put on at such a horrible time.  
 
I still find it humourous.  Betty is a real draw...as is the accent of
the director, the sight gags, and the Lester Guy character.  I'll
continue to watch (and tape).
 
...and watch again...
