While he was not especially verbose, he did reveal some interesting tidbits that should put at least some speculation to rest.
When emailing back and forth, I had to help him on the fly with certain issues he was running into because he had never used Reddit before, and Reddit does have its quirks and a bit of a learning curve. We got through it fine and in the end Mark thanked me for helping coordinate and said he'd be willing to do this again in the future. Perhaps there will be another event like this after season three?
Regarding merchandise
Unsure what we'll see, but we will definitely be getting something.Merchandise is on the way, announcements coming soon...
Regarding the postcard
Okay, nothing absolute here. Just more double talk.[The postcard is] either a clue or a mistake.
Regarding Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland and whether there were talks of having them return.
Doesn't sound like this worked out, but at least there were discussions.Yes.
The greatest challenge in picking up this story again after 25 years?
Could be something that sheds light on whether or not any inconsistencies are in fact inconsistencies in the book.Remembering what we wrote the last time! And tying everything together...
Regarding trailers
You all can stop speculating now! We will get trailers. What they'll be like, who knows? But we are getting more.Trailers coming soon...
If the dossier is a puzzle, can the answers be found within its pages or will we have to wait until season 3 or the rumoured Secret Lives of Twin Peaks to get to the bottom of it all?)
Either we will get more information that ties back to the dossier in the new season or there really will be a new book. I think the latter is possible regardless.Stay tuned..
Regarding Frank Truman's bookhouse boy book
We will most definitely see Frank Truman in the new show. Not sure if that was still an uncertain point. Sounds like reading this book could provide insight into the character ahead of time.Angle of Repose won the Pulitizer Prize in 1971, a truly great book about the opening of the West. Read it and it'll tell you a lot about Frank - before you even meet him!
Regarding TP's reputation within the FBI
TP will be in the new season.You'll find out.
Regarding when he started writing the book
Not only are theories wrong that he was writing it at the same time as the show, but he's also referring to the new season as "season 3." Not a big deal, but nice to hear. Speaks volumes for continuity. Or maybe not...?I started the book after we finished writing season 3.
Regarding what his bookhouse boy book would be
Definitely wouldn't be my first choice, but here it is.My Bookhouse Book would be... the collected works of William Shakespeare...
Some people seemed disappointed with his answers. I agree that some were less than satisfying. But I am glad he is receptive to fan events/questions and willing to take the time to do this kind of stuff. I love Lynch, but he never does this kind of stuff (with the possible exception of the Festival of Disruption?).
