You see, I pretty much
do see Twin Peaks as David's project. Sure, he didn't write or direct them all, but his signature is in every episode, and I'm 100% certain that it would never have existed (at least in a recognisable form) without his driving force, Frost or no Frost.

No Gabriel, I haven't. And I have no desire to do so either.
I'm sure these things are great, but they just don't interest me at all.
For me they aren't relevant, and I only speak for myself. I also have little interest in TP memorabilia, collectables, etc.
Here's the thing - I love the work of David Lynch, both his film works and other mediums, such as sound design, music, and painting - this is why I'm here on the boards. As an artist he inspires me immensely. I also love Twin Peaks - it's one of the greatest TV series ever, and has clearly spawned a multitude of new genres... But - I don't hold it in the same esteem as some evidently do. And for me it's best left where it ended.
Ultimately these are just my personal views. You can take them or leave them. But surely the point of such a thread is to encourage a free debate? I am therefore no more 'wrong' than those who wish to see Twin Peaks go on and on...
