One of the Bernaud(sp) brothers? [early episode] Good question, actually. My money is on Dr. Jacoby, since we find out later that he's been watching Leo. The other popular theory is that it is Jacques Renault, or maybe Bernie. > >When Bob leaves Leland's body in that scene where the sprinklers come > >on in the jail cell, why does Leland always say "They made me do it"? > >Why doesn't he say 'He' made me do it, as in BOB? Because back at the time when he killed Teresa, MIKE and BOB were still partners.

The wanted to get her that tape of "Forever In Love" which they'd recorded. The subject of the diary just came up because they were talking about Laura, and Donna's sudden resemblance to her. > >Also, didn't Harold kill himself the night after Donna and Maddy try to > >take the diary. How did he manage to mail that letter to Donna? Good question. Then again, the film raises the question of how that page ever existed, since Harold received the diary several days before those entries were written. My guess is that Laura kept writing down diary entries for herself even after she gave away the diary, and decided to mail them to old "Mrs. Tremond", who she knows in the movie. I don't think it's clear when the real Mrs. Tremond received the letter; maybe someone can correct me on this. Still, her close encounters with Mrs. Tremond and Pierre in the film (that's not a spoiler really!) implies that maybe she felt she could trust them with knowledge about BOB. > >Is Mrs. Tremond's grandson played by David Lynch's son or something? Yes. In the film, he's played by a completely different but similar-looking actor. > >In the roadhouse, the night Maddy is killed, Donna is sitting in a both > >with James.

There are hints that Donna's sudden transformation from nice-girl to weirdo is connected to something in the movie which begins at the Roadhouse. Maybe she too gets a sense that "it is happening again" -- that the process that corrupted Laura is happening to her. Or maybe not. It could just be that she's breaking down at the thought of her part in Harold Smith's death. > >Also, Bobby has this remorseful look on his face. Why? I didn't see too much remorse -- I think he's looking at James and Donna with a vague expression of cluelessness. He doesn't know how James got away from the planted cocaine from before. He also has completely missed everything that just happened on-stage. > >Does anyone know if the Log Lady saw the Giant up on the stage.
