Reading the first parts of CDTH, I really thought it was gonna be some big Lynch Brothers' road trip and they'll be looking for answers together for Ronan and Matthew, deal with the leftover effects of Niall's death similar to the Greenmantle issue, and in the process also hear more about Seondeok (because EXCUSE ME, I KNOW DECLAN WAS KISSING ASS WHEN HE CALLED HER SEONSAENGNIM BUT SIGN ME TF UP FOR THAT RELATIONSHIP.) And I mean, we did get a road trip, it just wasn't with the people I thought. And yes, I am actually still aching about that.
I actually wished we got more interactions between the Lynch brothers.
And yeah, I get that it makes the divide more obvious, that the structure of the narrative amplifies how separate Ronan feels from his brothers. Or how Matthew feels unheard and treated like an accessory to his brothers' life by not giving him much focus until the last book and still only getting crumbs of his own story. Or how Declan and Matthew together reveals more about his complicated relationship with responsibility and love, of reconciling parts of himself.
I do love the books, but maaaaan did I wish we got more Lynch Brothers' roadtrip.
Scenes from David Lynch’s unaired 1994 “re-imagining” of PERFECT STRANGERS. Derided as “incoherent” by ABC President Ted Harbert, the 3 hour pilot swapped its two lead roles from scene to scene without warning or acknowledgement, often seeming to imply that “Cousin Larry” existed only in Balki’s mind; a manifestation of his disillusion with the facade of the American dream.
The most contentious aspects of the production were long, disturbing, mostly dialogue-free dream sequences examining Balki's fears and insecurities about his new identity as a Myposian-American immigrant. Many test screening participants walked out during the pilot's 3+ hour runtime.
ABC execs quickly and quietly shelved the project before it was announced, and refocused their scripted series development on “family-friendly” content. Lynch, a longtime PERFECT STRANGERS enthusiast, was devastated and furious at what he called a “betrayal” on the part of the network. He would go on to channel his feelings about the ordeal into a dark neo-noir horror film, 1997’s LOST HIGHWAY.
