I hated the episode, but it was still better than anything else on TV now.

Section 1: 25 years.

How long does it take for Jupiter and Saturn to align?
By my calculations: 20 - 25 years. (Coincidence?)

When will Coop see Laura again?
20 - 25 years.

When did W.E. get the boot from the Black Lodge project?
20-25 years ago.

Now, I think we have a cycle here.  Every 20-25 years a good cop goes into
the Black Lodge and comes out as a bad guy.  Happened with WE, happening with
CooP.  Since WE was working on the BL before Coop met him, Coop will probably
get a partner soon after marrying Annie.  Train the partner, have the partner
fall in love with Annie, kill annie ...


Section 2: Harry and Coop

Harry is at the door to the bathroom right now.  What would you do if you've
seen all the things that Harry has over the past 30 (about) days.  Coop is
freaking out, pounding his head like Leland.  If I were Harry, I'd pull my
revolver and kill Coop where he stands.  Or wait until after June when the
Lodge door is closed for 25 years.  While BOB is out in a main host
(WE --> Coop) he can roam freely around from pawn to pawn without giving up his
hold on the main host.  Kill the main host without a replacement, and BOB is
outta here.

Section 3: January to June

While it hasn't been explicitly stated, each episode of TP corresponds to about
1 day in Peaks time.  So, by the timeline, it should be about mid-March,
plenty of time for an excursion into the Black Lodge by Harry, Annie, and
the Major.  If Annie is alive, it is her perspective that we need to hear to
find out about the Black Lodge, Coop ain't reliable in this state.

Oh well, I need to brush my teeth.
