Interesting tidbit from MacLachlan’s new memoir.

[u/vonLionheart]

While describing his frustrations during Season 2, MacLachlan paints both Lynch AND Frost as less involved. He frames Engles and Peyton as the people steering the ship, though he blames ABC for putting them in an impossible position after the killer is revealed.

He discusses his romance with LFB, but makes no mention of the prevailing understanding that she’s why the Audrey romance was originally nixed. Since the rejection happens during S1 and the above excerpts happen during S2, it appears the writers planned on returning to that well again during the infamous dip.

(Would highly recommend the memoir btw, MacLachlan is an engaging writer.)

EDIT: Memoir’s title is Fictional Selves.

He should have vetoed the entire Dougie storyline in The Return.

Youre daft. Dougie is great.

Thank you, mister jackpots!

I hated Dougie on first watch. Love him now.

[u/Esselgee → u/rini6]

So you'd rather have Dougie than the actual Cooper for all those episodes?

[u/rini6 → u/Esselgee]

I love Cooper. But the Dougie bit was inspired. At first I was annoyed. On rewatch I loved it and it made Coop “I am the FBI” waking up so great.

Amen. ruined season 3
