Water is a cleansing item. Pete loves to fish, LP was found near water, Window Earl observed Coop while he was on the lake with Annie, Bob left Leland when the water from the fire sprinklers hit him. It sort of mad Bob crazier. When major Briggs returns, at the police station, Coop looks at a photo of the marks on the majors neck. Water drips onto the photo. Coop and Briggs were fishing and therefore near water. The white lodge may have a water connection. Fire is the around is several scenes. Windom Earls soul is taken with a burst of fire. The fire at the mill. Remember the poem from the one arm man and Leland. "Through the dark and futures past Magician longs to see one path out between to worlds fire walk with me." So, you won't find Coop going to purify himself with the water. He won't touch it. I think Coop is trying to fight his evil self in that scene. > > I love a movie or TV program that send a shiver through me.

I am not sure if LP is always LP. One time when she screams and moves close to Coop, the face is strobed with light, you can see Windom Earls Face! If you play it back one frame at time you will see this. So is it WE playing LP or Visa Verse? Perhaps it is Bob. Wayne J. Rasmussen
