I hope everybody has figured out by now that this newsgroup should have one
huge ^L on it.

Re: Donna.  I doubt she's "possessed" by anyone or anything.  She's in
love (or at least a first order approximation) with James, and she knows
James was attracted to Laura.  So she's trying to act more like Laura.
And IMHO, not being a very competent femme fatale, either.  Is it the
actress who can't play the ff, or is the actress portraying a character
who can't?  I suspect the former.
At the same time, Maddie Ferguson is ditching her glasses for
similar reasons.  But this is more of a case of the actress who now has to
*not* play the ff without hiding behind the glasses.  An equally difficult
task, which she has succeeded in so far.

Re: Audrey.  I'm of mixed impressions on her last scene.  She's definitely
praying to Dale Cooper, but I also get this odd feeling like she's
mimicing his dictations to Diane.  Has Audrey ever seen him do that?
