The thing which struck me most was that "Killer BOB" matches very closely
to Jung's interpretation of the Native American myth figure of the
"Trickster", a character which does evil and/or counter-productive actions
not so much out of malice but out of seeking "fun". Probably some of
these myths had the Trickster as an owl, though I can only remember him
as a coyote. I wish I could find Jung's analysis to cite from.

The introduction and disappearance of the Tremonds might set the stage
for another investigation of the "collective unconscious", eh?

Did anyone notice in the first or second episode (when Cooper came in and
said "Three for three") that there was someone working on the fire control
system?

Question: did BOB shuffle off to Buffalo?? And beat the Eagles (Yeah!)???
