Modern Commentary
If you enjoy the Lounge Guys being clever and pulling one over on Brisbane, hope you had a good time here. They're not going to do that too often.
Looking back on it, Brisbane and Kimberly's relationship was the meat of the series. Maybe having Brisbane watch a staticky TV with a bunch of nameless randos for a month wasn't the best thing to do for a second chapter. Like, seriously.
But I felt strongly about it at the time and wanted there to be more characters. We had just lost most of our extended cast when the theatre closed down I've always liked having large casts.
And if I introduce characters like the Lounge Guys, I need the repetition to show that these are characters that Do One Thing. I didn't want people to think there was a trick to them that you weren't getting. They hang out in the lounge, watch TV static, and yell at it as if they are watching different programs. They get a bit of character development eventually, but there are no hidden depths here now.- Terrence
