My log saw something. After Peaks was canceled, Seinfeld filled the void at the water cooler. Gilmore Girls occasionally offers good lines, but the writers cram so much dialogue into each episode that it's difficult to pick them out. David Lynch understood that a great series should offer words powerful enough to keep America talking for the next seven days. Survivor can also be overheard at Red Lobster on any given night.
People are strange.
One Twin Peaks resident was known for her eyepatch and obsession with silent drape runners. Another believed he was fighting the Civil War. And then there were the prophetic midget and giant, who always seemed to appear out of nowhere. I can think of few truly quirky characters on television today. David Lynch knew real people aren't normal at all, and he was unafraid to experiment with each Peaks personality.
