Re the events forty years ago:  
I'd love it if Lynch would film what happened then ...picture it, a house in
the woods near a lake, a young Leland wandering over to a nearby white house, 
"Pennsylvania 6-5000" playing on someone's radio in the background, and
suddenly little Leland hears a match strike (just like Wild at Heart!) and
turns to see -- BOB.  "Would you like to play with fire, little boy?"

Re Leland-did-it:
Many moons ago when I first heard the Leland-did-it theory, I thought it
was impossible because Leland WAS SURPRISED when Harry told him his 
daughter was dead.  But now, with the Leland-Possessed-By-BOB angle,
that isn't such a problem any more.  If LPBB did kill Laura, do you think
maybe Leland doesn't remember, or thought it was just a dream?  Imagine
how horrible that would be, to dream that you killed your daughter, then
wake up and think "It was only a dream!" only to find out later that
day that your daughter is dead.

I agree about Sayers and James (Christie is more like popcorn -- I read it
without noticing it).  One reason I don't feel let down, though, is that
Sayers and James are GOOD AUTHORS, that is to say, their books would 
still be worth reading even if there were no mysteries at all.  I think
Twin Peaks is much the same.  WKLP is just part of an interesting and
unusual story.
