Well, the first bit doesn't do much for me, but the second one, with Nadine punching out Cooper during the Miss TP fiasco, is pretty damn good (and you might need a discovered Coop impersonation to give her a good reason for doing so). At least this would have given us a palpable reason for Cooper never actually doing anything to protect Annie in that scene! Unlike some of the a.t.tp-ers, I never had any problem with WE (enjoyed his scenes quite a lot, in fact), and never had any real problem with us, the audience, knowing more than Cooper, but once Coop figured out that the Miss Twin Peaks contest was to be the WE's target, and had gone there specifically to stake it out, and Annie, his true love, had been named queen, you'd think he'd do nothing but head straight for her side when the pandemonium starts... but, NOOoooo... he wanders around looking completely lost! This bit really bothered me, as I know it did a lot of other folk. Nadine punching out Coops lights may have seemed a bit too frivolous, but it would have been better than his catatonia act. -- -larryy@apple.com "You wouldn't recognize a *subtle plan* if it painted itself purple, and danced naked upon a harpsichord, singing, 'Subtle Plans are Here Again'." - Edmund Blackadder
