Subject: Robertson/Leland connection From: jhanks@gmuvax2.gmu.edu (John Hanks) Date: 1990-12-04, 06:17 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks This is a repeat of a post I did that I don't think got out. I think the link between Leland and the Robertson character may be drawn from Hawks comments after returning from the lake (where Leland said he say BOB, I can't remember its name). Some one correct me, but didn't Hawk say (paraphrased): The lot (?) next to the Palmer house was empty, but the next lot had a house that was boarded up. He talk to the tea ladies and they didn't remember any Robertson in THAT house (nor did city/ county/state records). What about this for an idea. BOB is from the lot next door as Leland says, a house the Leland burned down 'playing with matches' as BOB talks about. Or even on purpose. Say the young Leland, molested by Robertson as some have said, finally had enough and purposly sets fire to the house, using, say, oil as a starter on the sleeping/uncouncious(sp) Robertson. The emotional trama(sp) from this could explain a lot in Leland's behavior and why BOB is in Leland. This might also explain the burning oil smell when BOB is around. Of course, there are some holes (Mike and BOB working together), but then every theory has some weaknesses. Any takers?? John C C C C C C A A A A A
