First,a few words of introduction....

My name is Brian Keith Morrison and I am using Bob's account.  Why?  Because
I don't have one of my own...this will soon change, however!

Well...what do I say?  David Lynch is NOT God.  'He's jus zis guy, y'know!'

Cooper faced his confrontation with the Black Lodge with imperfect 
courage.  He forgot to face evil and fear with love.  His previous comments
to Agent Roger Hardy (the FBI agent played by Clarence Williams III) that
he is looking 'beyond the board...looking at the world with love' exemplified
this philosophy.  But in the true test, Cooper failed.  

Why?

He did not save Windom Earle from BOB.  (Gathering thoughts here...)
Cooper loved Annie, and she was the focus of his love, but in order to 
truly love, to look at the world with love, you must ALSO love your enemies.
In failing to save Windom, Cooper could not save himself...hence...being
possesed by BOB.

Since Major Briggs APPARENTLY passed his test (facing the Black Lodge and
reaching the White Lodge as he said previously that he believed this 
is what happened to him during his dissapearance?), he is the logical
choice to go in after Cooper's good self (assuming BOB is in control of
Cooper's evil doppleganger.).

But should we really be suprised by Cooper's failure here?  After all
he and Annie DID make love like crazed weasels!  ;^)  

*shakes finger*  Naughty naughty!!!

All in all, a realllly goood shew!

Thanks David!  (I'll be praying for your soul!  :)

I look forward to Twin Peaks: The Motion Picture...there IS going to be
one, isn't there, David????????

PS.  By the way....'How's Annie?'
