   It interests me that people are building whole conspiracy theories about
   MIKE being evil on the fact that we didn't see him check to see if
   Ronnette was OK.

It isn't just that.  It's also that he doesn't do anything to try to
save Laura, once he determines that she is being killed.  And, in the
lodge, he demands his share of garmonbozia.  These don't seem to be
the acts of an unambiguously good guy.  Also, I raised a point that
had always troubled me from the series: that when Mike described ``the
pleasures'', he licks his lips in a lascivious manner, which is hardly
what you'd expect of a reformed inhabiting spirit but which is
consistent with him being a decoy, giving Cooper just enough rope to
hang himself.
