Well, it seems that they pulled the one thing outa the hat that a lot of 
people thought they wouldn't --

Oh, yeah, SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

It seems that Coop has, after all, been taken over by BOB -- or has he?
What was with the apparent antiCoops that we saw in the lodge? Did one of
them return rather than the real one, leaving Coop himself still inside
the lodge?

A friend with whom I watched the show has pointed out that it's wide open
for a sequel, since BOB is still on the loose, and Coop is either fighting
the spirit which has possessed him, or is on the inside of the lodge, trying
to get out.

Did we ever see the White Lodge? Are we, indeed, sure that there is one?
Is the Waiting Room part of either lodge? Did Laura lose her battle and
become part of the Black Lodge?

Also, can we be sure that the bank blast killed Andrew, Pete, and Audrey?
There would seem to be almost no way that they might have survived -- 
although they might have had a shot at it, if the bomb had a sufficiently
slow timer.

So, we never did get to see Diane... and the scene with Gordon from the
trailer didn't make the cut...

This was clearly one of the bloodiest shows I've seen made for primetime.
Ben, Coop, Annie, and, I think, someone else, had serious untended head
wounds.

The MFAP said that he'd show up again as someone else -- who?

Seems like we were right in guessing that the Waiter and the Giant were
the same. What was with the coffee stunt?

Was that Laura reflected in the coffee cup in the end titles?

It seems that the dream sequence from earlier in the series does indeed
happen 25 years later -- but that seems to be an unpossessed Coop in that
sequence. What does this tell us about who has come back as Coop?

Did Doc kill Ben, or merely injure him?

When did Ronette get better?

Where did the Log Lady go when Earle replaced her? How did she get back?
How did Coop know exactly when she'd show up at the sherrif's office?

And... what about Naomi? (Back to "Love of Chair"...)


It is happening again.      It is happening again.      It is happening again.
