The whole point of BOB possessing Leland was to make you question the culpability of Leland but not to absolve him entirely. I guess it was about how people seem to be composed of many, almost separate, conscious parts.

I couldn’t stand Jaque, or John Wheeler, or Annie and the whole beauty pageant think was soo stupid.I agree Leland was a great character and I thought after he died things started falling apart a bit.

Glad you enjoyed this. All just opinion. I still have to rewatch fire
walk with me with this season 2 in mind. And yes, ray wise is really
awesome. Now that I think about it, his presence was missing during
all the widham earle stuff. Can we get a season three?

Please don't cry too hard for Laura Palmer...after all, we learn in the movie that she did in fact find redemption after her death (angel/lodge/smiling imagery).

I liked reading your final thoughts on Twin Peaks as a whole, and the 2nd season. I actually enjoyed some of the minor characters and storylines you disliked -- in particular, Norma's b**** of a mom, and Nadine's amnesiac regression. Those were some highlights to go along with the other ones you've mentioned.

I agree that the revelation that Leland was possessed by an entity did absolve him of culpability in the abuse of his daughter. However, I found this revelation to be powerful and intense. The episodes in which we learn of Leland's possession by Bob, and the one in which he kills himself, are two of the best in the entire series. This is mostly a credit to Ray Wise, who does a fantastic job with the material.
