Maybe Big Ed has resolved the situation by havin' his own private little harem goin'... I mean, with runnin' a small-town gas station, how occupied can you be??? Either that or he's devoted his spare time to The Bookhouse Boys revival!

All in good fun.
LOL!
I guess the situation is somewhat less tangled in my country due to the language, as we use an equivalent of the word "part" to name the segments of a show. It's not like the word "episode" is nonexistent or obsolete, but "part" is used just as often, if not more. And since "episode" came into general use, I'd say, during the last decade and a half (with the advent of Internet and Golden-Age TV), I'm remembering that back when the "old" TP was airing, we referred to its segments exclusively as "parts".

Sorry for my confusing posts. I was trying to count the number of "entities", as they will appear/will be presented to us, by Showtime, in this very first run. That parts 1&2 will be aired as one entity, 120 mins, without breaks, and the same with parts 17&18. Hope I got at least that right (2x60 mins on the opening night would be a bit of a downer if that's the case).

You could look at it that way.. Or maybe they want to, you know.. savor (what everyone hopes will be) an amazing experience? I could ask you, why do you want it to be over as quickly as possible?
It would be interesting to see a FWWM "director's cut," but I think Lynch has expressed dislike for such things. I believe in reference to BV, he said his "cut" is the edit with the enforced two-hour runtime, and that whatever was cut is great and deserves to be released but doesn't belong in the film. I imagine he feels the same about FWWM. If he'd wanted to assemble a "supercut," he certainly had the opportunity on the Blu Ray and chose not to do so.

It's not one entity. They are two separate episodes airing on the same night. Just like they did with Episodes 28/29 back in 1991

I totally agree with your take on this. The only outside shot I see of Lynch assembling something new for Criterion is that while working on the new series some ideas came to him about what had already passed, and he finally got the urge to edit the missing pieces into the film. Unlikely, of course.
Getting an Eraserhead vibe from the boot in the puddle - the way the feet step so directly, almost comically so, into the puddle. Wonder if stepping in puddles holds any significance for Lynch.
