WE didn't have any power because of this -- it was the stalemate scene -- A King cannot attack (capturing in chess terminology) the other king-- it is against the rules and results in stalemate. In a real game this situation would happen if all the pieces besides the kings were gone, this would be a stalemate because a king cannot attack another king. My interpretation of the rest of the episode were that Cooper left the room and came in behind Bob and captured him. So the end of the episode, Cooper had neutralized Bob by making himself the human host. I will have to go back to the tape to see if the rest of you are right about the Cooper coming in behind Bob is really the doppelganger Cooper. It sounds like that is the correct interpretation, and I didn't notice the double entering at that point (the laughing-with-Bob scene). -- John Carey University of Illinois Dept. of Computer Science carey@a.cs.uiuc.edu {uu-net,pur-ee,convex,...}!uiucdcs!carey
