Yes, yes, yes.  I have very much been thinking along the lines that Bob
is a darker side of Leland.  I was so excited to see someone else post it
it that I'm actually responding for the first time after reading _thousands_ of
posts.  
I do think Bob is a manifestation of a darker repressed evil sexual
violent psyche that is associated with the woods the primitive the savage.
This sort of Jungian shadow beast encompasses power and witches wisdom
and understanding (Chicana author Gloria Anzaldua expands on this notion in her
book Borderlands, has anyone read it? It encompasses both the wise and the 
hunter owl. This way of looking at it works well with the child abuse metaphor. 
So far we've seen this darker side mostly through Bob, but I think it's
a collective unconscious as well.  There has certainly been lots of other
material evils set up, so that I can see the show getting more complex as it
continues to further explore the shadow beast psyches of Laura, Ben, etc..
Can't wait for tonight's show-
