Well let's think about it.  The main problem with Twin Peaks is that
Lynch did not write all the episodes himself thus opening the door
for interpretations different from his own.  Perhaps Mike was supposed
to be the good alien/spirit/pooka in the series but that isn't really
what Lynch had in mind.  The movie/series would have worked best if
it had been a 13 part series with Lynch directing and writing everything.
