Could be.  When the soap opera "The Edge Of Night" ended a few (?) years
ago, the final few minutes were pretty odd.  As I remember, someone noticed
a criminal that everyone had thought left town walking down a street called
Wonderland Lane.  When she went to the police, everyone looked at her like
she was crazy, because there was NO Wonderland Lane in town!  So she led
the police back to the scene, only to find that the whole street had
vanished.  Sitting there on the sidewalk was a little white rabbit...  Now
you KNOW that they wouldn't have put an impossible scene like that in if it
hadn't been the very end of the series.

Of course, in Twin Peaks, impossible things happen all the time.  Actually
I think that BOB was planned all along (why else would Josie shoot
Cooper?), but I have no idea why the LMFAP was there.  Why would he show up
immediately after BOB?Why didn't he even say anything?  And the shot of
Josie's face in the knob was pretty strange even for Twin Peaks.

I'm really upset that we won't find out what the White Lodge scenario was
all about.  It would be nice to have some confirmation or denial of the ET
hypothesis.  Maybe the show was pulled because it was getting too close to
the truth?

(That was a joke.  Taking it seriously would be hazardous to your health.)
