Spoilers for 6/10 TP episode.

So, is Cooper's doppelganger on the loose, while Dale is trapped in
the Black Lodge or has Bob inhabited him?  I'm more inclined to the
former, but there are problems with the theory.  If Dale is in the
Black Lodge, why would Laura say they would meet in 25 years?  They're
drinking thick black coffee together!  That would lead to Bob/Dale
being outside the Lodge, and can't return until Jupiter and Saturn
realign (25 years).

What's the consensus on the two red-curtained rooms?  Was one the
Black Lodge, the other the White?  I think it was a succession of
rooms leading farther and farther into the Black Lodge.  Cooper never
made it to the White Lodge because he failed in his confrontation with
his evil-self/Bob (he tried to run away).

Why was Leland in the Black Lodge (well, in the hall)?  It had to be
the "good" Leland--he didn't have the white hair, and told Cooper he
didn't do anything wrong (I forget the exact quote).  When Leland died
in the jail cell, Cooper told him to follow the white light,
presumably to heaven.

As always, the answers leave you with more questions.  Classic Twin
Peaks.  I thought the first 30-45 minutes were rushed, like they were
trying to resolve some of the lesser plot lines.  I found it in stark
contrast to previous Peaks, where you had the slow-motion-nightmare
pace.  The last hour was excellent.  Keep eating that cherry pie!
