Subject: FWWM: Some thoughts about thread (spoiler)

When Mike is yelling at Leland saying "the thread will break" I
couldn't help but think or Bob's last words before he left Leland
(from memory, so no flames if it's not quite right, but corrections
welcomed) "And then I'm going to pull the cord, and all the memories
are just going to flood back in". And then Leland realizes what he's
done. So perhaps Mike is warning Leland that if he doesn't give up
Bob, he's eventually going to have to face all that he's done.

   Also, Laura notices the burned smell _before_ Leland starts racing
the engine -- so it must be a Bob-ish manifestation, not a the engine
racing.

   Perhaps (as suggested by the fact that the arm is already gone)
Mike _is_ good in FWWM, but just somehow powerless against Bob (in
traincar scene). When he and the LMFAP insist on their Gormonzobia,
and Bob heals Leland, perhaps that's for Leland's own good: If he died
before Bob pulled the string he'd lose his chance for redemption,
which does get (like Laura) through Cooper with an assist from the
Tibetan book of the dead.

    Many things to think about...
