Ah my dear Kermit...I don't think anyone has really
put on a Mike-as-evil theory yet. My point is twofold:
1- LeBob was still _inside_ the train car and very obviously
bent on killing Ronette. The whole point of Mike's being
there is his delivery of the ring it seems. However you
see it, his actions were quite self-serving.
2- In the series he wasted everyone's time. Think about
it: from the movie we know that he knew about LeBob, yet
he did not spend any miniscule ounce of energy pointing
the law enforcers in the right directions.
Conclusions: Mike is not _evil_ since nothing seems to
be so clear cut in the TP world. But his is nonetheless
a character that has a variey of shady purposes of his own.
