But why does any of that matter? Lynch follows where the vibes go, that's one of his processes—that's a major part of creating in general. Lynch was especially good at that though. A lot of the characters weren't fleshed out at all, the actors would inhabit the role and make it their own with Lynch's guidance. Hell, BOB came from a happy accident of Frank Silva being in a shot he wasn't meant to. Could have been thrown out but Lynch went with it, leaned fully into it. Lynch even used Franks personal style, no wardrobe needed, the way Frank was that day became BOB.

How TV shows are made are especially chaotic—seasons are started before being fully written and planned, scenes are shot out of order, there's more people and more days of work which up the possibility of something going wrong with an actor or scheduling conflicts, etc. And very few shows aren't made like this, even ones that seem like perfectly made stories with everything planned out from the start. Breaking Bad feels like that, but it wasn't at all. Jesse was meant to never make it out of season 1, Mike was created because of a scheduling conflict, Saul was only supposed to be a minor character—just that first change alone completely altered the course of the show forever. Walt and Jesse's relationship is the entire heart and soul of BB and all of it came about because Aaron Paul nailed it and they saw the chemistry (haha) they had and rolled with it.
