Satan is sometimes called Old Nick.

No, that's Santa Claus, not Satan

Old Nick

 You've seen it 45 times!

I haven't heard of it.

Yeah... Sarcastically of course...
 

But that's got me thinking: Whatever did happen to Harold Smith?

"What credit card do you want to put that on?"
"Caash, prease."

Why is Season 2 so much longer than the first season. I know it was probably the studios but if they'd just shortened it TP may have lasted much longer in the long term.

TP was a midseason replacement, the pilot didn't air till April or something, leaving scant time in the TV season for episodes to air. After that ended it was so successful that ABC picked it up for a full 22 episode order. The series almost ended without the last six episodes (which would have made the exit Josie's death), but mercifully ABC listened to the outcry of fans, and the series managed to go out with a bang. Personally I would not have been one of those crying for me after the pretentious and lame ending of ep 23, but in the long run I'm extremely glad they made more.

Evenren, you made some great points about what they should've done. I couldn't agree more... ep 16 has a really rushed feeling, like we missed a couple episodes. Suddenly Albert's there and Coop has one day to catch the "real" killer... all of it seems way out of place after the slow pace of episode 15. But I guess audiences couldn't take any more of the killer running around free after they knew who it was... A dramatic way for them to catch the killer would've been if Donna befriended him after James left, and turned to him as confidant, then he tried to kill her and Coop saves her at the last second... would've kept Donna in the story too, and given her a chance to come to terms with Laura's death, and truly say goodbye. Might've been a bit repetitive though with Maddy's murder having occurred so recently, but it would still be better than what we got.

even and I have been working on that exact type of angle over at dugpa.  It's been a lot of fun.  But we broke it up that Peaks was able to have shorter seasons -so far, I think we've cover twelve episodes so far. We took the angle of Leland not being discovered for some time, and I think it works a lot better.

Doubtful, Peaks would have been allowed to have shortened series before the advant of shows like The Sopranos and even Lost now, but we treat it like it was in a perfect world for creative freedom from the network.
