Is this based on something that happened in TP:FWWM the movie?
Or the original script?

Then how come Mrs. Palmer saw the horse the night BEFORE Laura was killed.
Remember the next morning, Laura tells Leland to "stay away from me".

The order was T under Teresa's
              R under Laura's
              B under Ronette's (second episode of the second season?)
              O under Maddy's (seventh or eighth episode?)
I'm pretty sure that the B came before the O, so there doesn't seem
to be a pattern in the ordering of the letters.  If it was T-R-O-B,
then you could say R-O-B-E-R-(T-R-O-B)-E-R-T-....

Not sure I agree about BOB being Bob Lydecker, the vet.
I thought Cooper and Truman showed the police sketch of BOB to the 
vet's assistant, who said it was NOT Dr. Lydecker.

I like this theory.  It may also explain why Agent Chester Desmond was
NOT in the lodge after disappearing.  Instead he would have shown up
BEFORE disappearing.  Maybe in the next prequel, he could appear in 
Philip Jeffries' dreams?

I'm not convinced that (bad) Annie did survive.  Truman might have lied to
Cooper, considering the state Coop was in.  The reason I thought this
was to add to the irony of Coop/BOB saying "How's Annie?" over and over
at the end of the series.  I do think that (good) Annie is still alive
and well in the lodge.  BTW, I think that the white lodge and the black
lodge are one and the same, with the lodge's tiled floors representing
light and dark, good and evil, etc.

So if Coop aged 25 years during his backwards stay at the lodge, why
not Laura?  The Laura that whispered the name of her killer in Coop's ear.

Not the exact quote, maybe more like "I ordered no creamed corn.  Do you see
creamed corn?", but her eyes and facial expression did sort of imply
that she didn't like the substance.

Maybe you should explain this a bit more.  My guess would be that Jurgen
Prochnow played the log lady's husband, and he is a witness who did stay
too long.  Maybe if we visited this room now, then Josie would be there too?

I think Lynch left showed Mike there as a new twist, so it's not a kink.
Why would he do this?  To make things more interesting, and give TP fans
something to think about.  He knows they'll eventually solve the problem
for him anyway.

I have a friend who never orders veal in a restaurant, but will eat it
if served it.  Maybe Mike is like this when it comes to garmonbozia?
 
Thanks for your theories.  Very interesting.
