I do as well, but for different reasons.  I'm betting that there
will be at least one scene where Cooper will agonize over the
possibility that Renault was right.

But BOB was around well before Cooper ever showed up.  Unless BOB
had some way of knowing that Cooper would be sent, I just don't see
how this could be.  You might be correct that whatever's going on
with the White Lodge might have been catalyzed (or re-awakened, since
obviously the White Lodge has been around Twin Peaks for a while, otherwise
why would the Major be there??) by the conflict between BOB and Cooper.
