Dougie is the most boring character ever

Dougie was fine for about 3 episodes, but it got tiring. He was on way too long.

Yeah but if something dragged you through a light socket you might act semi-catatonic and disoriented for a few days too.

As you may or may not be aware. Cooper became Dougie 3 1/2 episodes in, then turned back into Cooper with 3 1/2 episodes left in the series.

Which adds up to 7.

Lynch loves his numerology.

As for Dougie . . I found him comical. Sometimes sad. A great tease since one is anxiously awaiting Cooper to return and not knowing when it will happen. But mostly, because of Dougie we get to see how people he interacted with (as it were) reacted and responded to him.

Which was even more comical and quite revealing.

But it's not hard to understand your sentiment. At all.
