I'm impressed that you're a fan of Twin Peaks and still prefer Walter Sullivan...he's far less of a one dimensional figure, but I also found BOB a lot more scary just in terms of pure, unnecessary evil. I don't know which one I'm more intrigued by.
*Spoilers for Twin Peaks*
BOB's killings were a lot more thrill kills, but I don't think there was no ultimate point to them...I say that because he always seemed to kill the same people (young women) and because of his MO of putting initials for his name underneath the fingernails of his victims, much like Walter marked numbers into their backs. If the series had continued as Lynch had planned, would we have eventually saw some sort of ultimate plan to the killings (i.e. Bob spelling out the rest of his name), other then just feeding on their fear and pain? Maybe not, but then again, you never know.
Yeah, neither Walter nor BOB can really travel "effortlessly" between their realms and the real world, but from what I've read, BOB can go back home via owl or (from what I've read) electricity, so I think that's splitting hairs just a little.
No, BOB has no direct doppelganger...his human inhabitants and Mike seem to be the series' only attempts at any sort of human conscience for BOB. I think that's what I was thinking of when I wrote that post, but you're absolutely right.
Also, good points made on that theory. That show Millenium sounds interesting as well, I'll try to find it. And it's good to have another Twin Peaks buff on these forums, zqrahll, glad to have you
