Peyton has agreed to do an AMA with us over on Reddit. This is just a PSA.

Peyton and Engels are both crazy talented and don't get enough credit for basically running the show while Lynch and Frost were away. Their rich dialogue, humor and ideas helped make so much of TP what it was. By their own admission they got too deep into comic stuff in the middle of Season 2 post-rewrites and made mistakes, but few talents haven't. They were still a fundamental part of the creative team. Peyton's other work is also really excellent.

I agree with Needleman wholeheartedly! That's why I'm also a little sad this revival is happening without them... Too bad.

[N. Needleman]

This revival belongs to Lynch and Frost.

Well, an odd nod to some of their old friends who helped make Twin Peaks a phenomenon it is today wouldn't hurt. All the more if this upcoming batch of eps is indeed the final word on TP.

BUMP just as a friendly reminder for tomorrow.

Somehow unable to post a question there :/ Am I too late?

Edit: Derp. I'm derping again. Thanks LonelySoul for helping out anyway.

The AMA's going nicely so far.

It just dawned on me that your Reddit name is just your Dugpa name backwards. We're all having issues today.

Really happy with this answer, so funny

So I get that you and Frost originally wrote the script for the season 2 finale together. Lynch didn't like what you and Frost did and made alterations (took out some stuff about a corn field, a sword and stuff about Earle sitting on a throne I believe). In the end, do you like what Lynch has done to the episode or would you have preferred what you and Frost originally had in mind?

We originally wrote the finale together. Then word started trickling back that David was going on a David Walkabout and making some changes. I reacted with ire and outrage -- until i saw the episode. Then I was just in awe. Now that doesn't always work, and David some times had difficulty with the linear nature of episodic storytelling. But that finale was one of the best hours of TV I've ever seen.

There need to be more people asking questions so we don't all feel like double and triple dippers.
