After reading some of this group's comments, my associative juices flowed
and something that bugged me at first sort of makes sense now. That some-
thing was the fact (as noted elsewhere) that Bobby gets knocked on the
head with a log and Mike (later) appears hurt from an accident with a tree,
yet Bobby is fine. Now at the beginning of the show, Mike and Bobby were
the best of chums, almost halves of one unit, although I'd resist trying to
assign one evil v. good qualities. In the midst of all this doubling,
could the log-injury sustained by Bobby (inflicted by the WE/log-lady double)
have migrated over to Mike? Could the scene at the *double*-R be the
sugar-coated double of what was actually happening "the morning after"?
Could reality and time around TP become skewed due to the goings on in the
Black Lodge? Thoughts to ponder, perhaps not to answer.

Also: Has anyone considered that the spirit of the One-Armed Man now
resides in Ben? (He wants to do SO MANY GOOD DEEDS.) Could the tumultuous
forces at work have caused Donna's (apparent) father to brain him and
thus put him on the defense? Could the threat to Leo really be he's
scared to death of spiders? Heckuva lotta questions...
