We always attempt to bring some thought to the discussion otherwise it would be a bit of a waste. <br /><br />I really like the idea that Emily might be a version of Liza trying to save herself from doom. I've not run across any theories out here that would add solid evidence I can point to to bolster the idea but it seems like a possibility for such a bizarre script. <br /><br />Keep in touch!
