she's a very nice, if rather 'grand', lady. my curiosity around her experience on the NoDS set (and DS fandom in general) seems to bemuse her. she's actually never seen a single episode of the series itself. i had to tell her what it was about...

still she's not above doling out tidbits. she recently was going through some old papers and found her NoDS script with the original notations scribbled in the margins. she took some pictures on her phone and showed them to me. she was surprised when i told her what a "valuable" piece of memorabilia she had. 

to this day one can still spot the old "best of" VHS in thrift and junk stores.

a "collector's edition" of random, out of context scenes and episodes is a rather odd concept. even by MPI standards.

i really don't get the market for this? 

Lee's inclusion in the cast is the biggest question mark for me...

I mean they don't get much deader than Laura Palmer. and even if she appears as a "ghost" in a "dream" or as a "vision" Palmer died a teenage girl and Lee is now a middle aged woman. 

I also don't see Michael Anderson either, so who's running (and dancing in)  the Black Lodge? And will there be any resolution to the Chris Isaak plot from Fire Walk With Me?

I know little about TP fandom...

how is FWWM treated??? is it considered "canon" or is it comparable to the way HODS and NODS are treated in the DS universe? an offshoot film "inspired by" the OS but not meant to work into series continuity and able to be viewed as a stand alone film?

a couple years ago I caught an episode of 'Dallas' that featured both Patrick and Mitch Ryan...


they didn't appear together in any scenes but I wonder if they caught up backstage?

Burton threw in A LOT of random subplot that ended up amounting to nothing. between that and the buzz saw editing job it left for a rather disjointed narrative...

for some reason Burton wanted Roger to seem like a complete cad. it didn't really 'add' anything to the overall story but it was all a buildup to Barnabas sending him packing in the third act. the cloakroom scene was just to "reinforce" how shady he was.

a lot of things were left vague/open as setups for potential sequels that have not come into fruition.

I'm sorry are you watching the show?
