Subject: Actions and Interactions (SPOILERS FROM HELL!)

I wonder if we aren't going about this "Coop in the Lodge" thing all wrong.
Think about it... When Laura enters the Lodge after her death, there's Coop,
with a reassuring hand on her shoulder, almost steadying or guiding her as she
makes the transition. It's almost as if his whole reason for beong in the lodge
is to guide her in there. 

This would, I think, make the whole TP timeline circular, begining
with LP's death and ending in Coop's entrapment. Larus Palmer dies, Coop
investivates, and is brought to the lodge to help out when... Laura Palmer
dies.

Another possibility is that Coop wasn't so much trapped by BOB so that 
he (BoB) could do evil, but that the Giant/LMFAP conscirpted him for "damage
control" of BoB's latest caper. Perhaps Coop is in the Lodge not so much 
because his courage is imperfect, but because his courage is *so* perfect he
is needed as a "good guy in the Lodge". Maybe Annie was mistaken when she said
"the good Dale is trapped in the Lodge".

One other thing. Did anyone else notice the different ways the members
of the room above the Convienence Store interacted with people in the real
world:

The Tremonds/Chalfonts interacted with people in their own plane (What we 
call the "real world")

Assuming the Woodsman is the Log Lady's husband, he interacts through the Log
and his wife.

Bob interacts through bodily possesion

The LMFAP interacts in the opposite manner from the Tremonds: Instead of 
going to people in the real world, he brings them to his plane of being.

The Giant interacts with people of this plane through visions.


Maybe BoB is then angry because his mode of interaction requires the permission
of a real world person, and this anger has turned him viscious. ALso, this 
might make him the least powerful of all of them.

The LMFAP, on the other hand, can (maybe)whish people to an from the lodge at 
will, either physically or in dreams. He is therefore the *most* powerful of
the bunch. Another possibility is that he physically controlls the "dominant"
arm of a person, and can therefore force them to do his bidding.

ANyone have any thoughts on this? (and do you notice how many people have 
been saying this of late ;-)
