I checked this scene just because of your post, Jayembee. :) He _definately_ saw Maddy as Laura, and definately had a reaction. He's about 20 feet from her, and spends some time looking at Maddy as she is walking towards him. Bobby wasn't concentrating on James here as you say, since at this point Jerry just left with Donna on a motorcycle to go to Jacoby's. Bobby's reaction is a stunned gape. He intently stares at Maddy for a bit, hesitating to turn his head away before running. If you comment on this paragraph, please include it in it's entirety. > >}} 8.

He was at the Haywards, but it wasn't the scene where Doc Hayward calls to Donna to say that he has to go to the hospital, that was the scene /after/ they get the tape from Jacoby's. (they listen to two different tapes, you are thinking of the second listening) However, just prior to Jacoby's beating, there is a scene of Maddy leaving the Palmers house. The entirety of this scene consists of Maddy tip toeing down the stairs, and Leland sitting in darkness with a very disturbing demeanor as he hears her leave. It's interesting how much emphasis the director puts on Leland here, and that this scene showing Maddy leaving home with Leland observing this was even shown. I'm probably making too much of this, but I can't think of any other plausable suspect. Who do you think did it? Don't be afraid to take wild guesses. > >}} 9.

You got me here. It is the fire alarm, not a heart monitor alarm. The timing of the alarm sound entering Leland's consciousness coincindes exactly with the heart monitor going flatline, which is why I was confused. > >}} 12.

[Mike's hokey mode on, gln has been warned] Interesting.. If Leland killed Laura, BOB in Leland might want Cooper dead if he thought Coop was hot on his trail. I just have to plug my BOB in Leland theory every chance I get, don't I? >*dodges tomatos*< The asian man does seem to have a very peculiar and unexplained interest in Cooper though, right? I do agree with your reasoning that Jean Renault shouldn't be a suspect for Coop's shooting... Unless there is something very, very strange about him that we don't know about. > >"Good thing you guys can't keep a secret." > >--- jayembee (Jerry Boyajian, DEC, "The Mill", Maynard, MA) By the way Jerry, who do you think killed Laura? If you think it's BOB, do you think he was possessing someone else to do it? Who? Michael Kaye horny@ucscb.ucsc.edu "BOB needs a human hostess cupcake"
