Yes.  The ending (all the good guys standing around) was so stupid
I thought it was an intentional nose-thumbing at those who demanded a
clear-cut answer to the WKLP question.  A writing/directing staff such as
Twin Peaks' would have to work hard to sink so low (IMHO).  Albert's non-
sequitor!   Major Briggs' assinine line ("does it really matter?") was such
a useless cliche that its like is seldom heard even in the denoument of
'B' films anymore.  Its obvious purpose, of course, was to set up Cooper's
answer that 'Yes, Virginia, it does matter.'

Yes!  But will he leave?  I'm hoping that we'll still see him in flashbacks.
While there are several new plot threads, I'm sure we'd all like to see
just what happened "that night."
How about this theory for going out on a limb?  (Actually I'm trying to
justify Ray Wise's continuance in the show):
Where does the physical appearance of BOB originate?  Was he really a
living person 40 years ago when he met little Leland?  Just suppose that
BOB's IMAGE is actually that of his previous host...  So prior to 1950
BOB inhabited a fellow who looked just like the image of BOB that we know
and uh, that we know.  (I haven't figured out when he may have picked up
that jean-jacket he wears, tho).  So now, when BOB gets a new host (I'm
betting on James Hurley --- this puke has to justify his existence in the
show somehow) and the host looks in the mirror, we'll see ... Uncle Leland!

The coming attractions are not always what they seem.  Remember Waldo?
Perhaps when Shelly tells Bobby "he moved" she's referring to the baby
she's carrying (is it Bobby's or is it Mr. Nooshoos'?)

Is BOB going to Shuffle off to Buffalo?  Or is that where good
hosts go when they die?  BOB sure likes to hang around the international
border, doesn't he?
I'm sure all will become clear come Saturday night :-)
