I'm glad to see someone else mention this - the first time I went back and rewatched the pilot, I noticed to my surprise that he has slightly more of an edge than he did in later episodes. It's a nuance that would have been nice to retain. But it's common for TV characters to get smoothed out and simplified as the episodes progress, I think partly because so many different hands are typing the scripts while trying to keep consistency with everyone else's work, and they fall back to using a handful of the characters' most easily identifiable traits (look at Homer Simpson in the early episodes, compared to now - he's gotten vastly dumber and more oafish). Something else we missed when a third season didn't happen was seeing a new layer brought to Cooper's character, coming out of his struggle with Bob, or Dark Coop or whoever the hell he was in that last scene.djerdap wrote:He's definitely more cynical and even slightly condescending in the Pilot. It's a side of him I missed a bit as the show progressed, especially after the killer was revealed, when they reduced the character to overwrought long speeches, and the lack of enthusiasm started to show in MacLachlan's performance. This is all of course corrected in the fantastic finale, where the Pilot persona actually comes to life in certain moments (his awkward smiles during the first scene at the sheriff's station etc.).

I saw Miguel Ferrer at a Sci Fi Convention playing in a band led by Billy Mumy.
Two things came from that:
1. I met Miguel- super nice guy, absolutely nothing like Albert Rosenfeld .
2. The band was pretty good, though for the life of me I can't remember what instrument Miguel played.
Did anyone else ever see Miguel play music back in the day?
Thanks, it has been so long! I will look up barnes and barnes.the woods wrote:mtwentz wrote:The is waaaaayyy off topic, but since so many of you have been to Twin Peaks Festivals, and I haven't, I can only brag about the next best thing-

mtwentz, the band you saw sounds like barnes and barnes, probably best known for their song, "fish heads".
the band is mainly art and artie barnes aka bill mumy and robert haimer. i know miguel ferrer is a talented
drummer and plays drums on some of their tracks, although he may play other instruments as well.
they are a really good (and funny) band i think.
