I have to agree that this was one hell of a mind-blowing episode.  I tend to
agree with those who say BOB will end up in Leo.  Leo is still "there", as
has been indicated by his "New shoes" thing, and is probably more aware of
his environment than Bobby and Shelley think.  Leo is currently unable to 
interact, and that is probably what BOB will offer him.  I think that for 
BOB to "occupy" a host, the host has to be willing to be occupied.  Of course,
once he's in, that's that.

I was upset at how they got out of using the OAM to any great effect.  However,
I think (MHO) that when BOB and Mike make contact, both will be destroyed.
It is also possible, however, that neither of them can die, and that BOB
will always exist, just as in some interpretations of Judeo-Christian mythos,
God cannot destroy Lucifer. 

Leland's death scene was very moving.  He realizes all he has done, and how he
is damned, and weeps.  Cooper does the best thing for him, redeeming his soul.
That was how I interpreted it, anyway, feel free to dispute.
