Good analysis, Glen. For those who didn't watch it, the "parallel world" comments had to do with feelings both had after major tragedies in their lives around age 10. Both of their fathers died and, in Cooper's case, two of his older brothers died in the accident with their father. Both felt new, major responsibilities relative to their mothers. They both report feeling like a different persons post tragedy and wonder how the the earlier versions of themselves would have developed if the deaths hadn't occurred.
