The real credit for WILD PALMS should go to Bruce Wagner and his flowing, prosaic dialogue. It's like classic Film Noir crossed with cyber-speak, doused with a fifth of Single Malt Scotch and set on fire. There are so many clever, nimble phrases that are turned on their axis and spun into something entirely different.
Examples:
"Mystery loves company."
"Do you know how much it hurts to be SHOT IN THE CHEST??"
"You're no General! You're a pimp with the wings of a bat!"
"You've got quite a mouth on you! Take care someone doesn't take a needle and sew it up."
"Weak dog! You stillborn calf! YOU MAKE ME VOMIT!"
Granted the whole package is a little hard to take in all at once - it's one of those things that becomes more interesting the more you watch it. And for everyone who argues it ends with a whimper, not a bang, well, you may be right, but I posit that The Senator, Harry's real lineage, The Go Chip, and the Mimezine are all besides the point. Enjoy it for one of the campiest, cleverest, most intelligent scripts ever written for television.(Thank You Bruce Wagner) This is a project that is not only entertaining to watch, but a JOY to listen to. It's FUN.
