   Also, I thought the reason Coop was bleeding wasn't because of the old 
   gunshot wound (I can't remember who posted this, something about Coop 
   having his life flash before him) but because Earle stabbed him. The 
   bleeding before the stabbing was indicative of the fact that time didn't 
   travel normally within the waiting room/lodges.

Well, it could also have been because of his previous stab wound, from
Pittsburgh.  Note that he starts to bleed when he enters the room
where he sees Caroline lying on the floor.  In fact, he sees himself
and Caroline lying on the floor, much as they must have been when
Earle killed Caroline and stabbed Cooper.  It also does prefigure
(and, possibly, follow, in the XXX Lodge backwards way) Earle's
``stabbing'' of Cooper.
