O.k., now follow this closely. 

First, TWIN PEAKS is just chock full of Shakespearean references. The
transformation of Catherine from cast iron bitch to loving wife is a
reference to THE TAMING OF THE SHREW. Leland's killing Jacques by mistake,
thinking he killed Laura, is a reference to Hamlet's error in killing
Polonius while he listens behind the curtain. Mike corresponds to Prospero,
and Bob to Calliban. Notice also the identical twin motif from THE COMEDY OF
ERRORS.

If you watch the train sequence real close frame by frame, you can see that
Bob is *pouring poison* into Laura Palmer's ear. While he's doing this he
mutters something that sound like "I have a lonely flounder" in French --
but get this -- play it backwards at half speed and invert all the speech
frequencies, and you can clearly hear (with a little effort) "Paul was the
walrus.  Turkey pluckers, turkey pluckers. Will didn't write them."

Now, look at the letters. T, R, B, O. No E in the sequence. T stands
for TITUS ANDRONICUS, R for ROMEO AND JULIET, and O for OTHELLO. 
There is no play attributed to Shakepeare that begins with an E, hence
the lack of an E. Aha, I hear you say -- there's no Shakespeare play that
begins with a B -- THAT'S RIGHT -- THE "B" STANDS FOR BACON!!!!

Another clue -- the name Ben Horne. Ben Johnson gave us the vital clue that
Shakespeare knew "little Latin and less Greek", most odd for an author who
borrows so freely from Classical sources. Horne stands for the way William
Shakespeare "horned" in on the credit for writing the plays. 

By this hypothesis, BOB (Bacon, Old Bean) possessing Leland stands for the
motivation of a charecter by the author. Maddy isn't really dead, Leland has
simply reenacted the murder to try and catch the real killer, as in the
play-within-the-play in HAMLET. 

Whew, glad I finally figured that out.
