Okay, Spoilers follow.


I just want to see if my reasoning re: why Leland drove into the gas station
after the OAM encounter.  Laura said "What's that smell?" which is probably the
scorched engine oil.  Leland drove into the gas station so that the smell
wouldn't seem unusual.  Right?   Just checking my head.


Also, Gerard's tactics are a bit unusual.  In the TV series, when MIKE was
explaining his mission ("To find BOB."  "To _stop_ him!") it seemed he would do
anything to accomplish it. 
In the movie, he could have jumped out of his truck and done something
to Leland, but he didn't.  Perhaps he is unable to intervene physically, and
can only give warning.  Maybe after he failed to prevent LP's murder, he became
more determined to stop BOB, thus setting up his later fanaticism.

I just thought of something.  If MIKE was trying to tell LP over the
sound of the engine "It's your father," then how come he didn't go after Leland
in the TV show?  He could have thought that BOB switched hosts, but he never
even went after Leland.

I hope these thoughts made sense.
