'Cult' films?

A third series was planned but the original creators, David Lynch and Mark Frost, lost interest. The second series dips very badly and is much too long and ponderous, although it begins and ends superbly with runs of episodes with lots in common to the best of the first series. Part of that's down to the writing and directing duties being handled by Frost and Lynch themselves, rather than the terrible results when hacks had been appointed in replacement and whose work was just a nasty pastiche lacking proper weirdness.

Add that to growing audience dissatisfaction at the time, who wanted the whole thing wrapped up long before the second series even thought of getting round to it, and the ratings dipped - not a good mixture with creators who had watched their original vision get ridiculed during the worst episodes of the embarrassing, flabby middle of series two. Maybe all you mention would have been wrapped up in another series, but what became the final scene of all turned into a chilling and unexpected close.

For me, Benjamin Horne is one of the best developed characters and finest performances of them all. He's in every episode and always watchable. Also great is Albert. I already loved RoboCop when I got into Twin Peaks, so seeing several actors being picked from that film made me appreciate Lynch even more.
