I just re-watched episodes 2 and 3 of the first season of TP, and yes there
is always stuff to discuss. For example, Bobby and that plaid jacket he
wears wrapped around his hips. In the scene where he and the other guy
go into the woods to meet Leo, Bobby is carrying another jacket, but still
has the plaid thing wrapped around him. I remember in the scene where he
visits Shelley in the hospital, he still has it.  

The net effect is to make him look sort of sleazy. Now, unless I'm mistaken
in episode 2 it was said of Laura Palmer "she was the homecoming queen, dated
the captain of the football team..." (I think Truman said it to Coop). Well,
was that referring to Bobby??  Certainly weird, if so, because his whole
characterization -- appearance, costume, mannerisms, etc. -- was that of an
outsider, virtually a loser.  

Am I wrong about that quote? The whole reason Bobby and the other guy were
out to get James, was because James had been secretly dating Bobby's girl --
Laura Palmer.  Help me out somebody.
