bones weep tedium Wrote:I heard that the series had some troubles cretively towards the end, with David Lynch having less and less to do with the show after a while. Is this true?
Finished up the special features this morning and it goes into great detail about the fate of the show. Certainly the fact that both creators, Lynch and Mark Frost, got involved in movie projects hurt. Lynch made
Wild At Heart and Frost the criminally underrated
Storyville. But according to nearly everyone involved with the show, the biggest blow came when they were forced to reveal Laura's killer and they didn't really have anything to replace that core mystery with so it sort of lost its way for a few episodes. The end of the final season, despite my misgivings about The Black Lodge, actually kind of recaptured the initial magic but by then the show was done for and we are left with a myriad of cliffhangers.
On a side note, I highly recommend reading Frost's two books with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle as the protagonist:
The List of 7 & The 6 Messiahs.
