Part 5 - Case files (SPOILERS)

[IcedOver]

On the topic of "what song is that?", what's the tune over the credits of Part 5? I assume it's one of the Johnny Jewel songs listed. It seems like Badalamenti is barely present. If it's not listed and named in the credits as Badalamenti (or him and Lynch), are we to assume nothing is Badalamenti (i.e., are they naming every piece of music in the credits, or is he just doing unnamed incidental music)?

Premonition is an interesting idea.

Speaking of Sonny Jim, I still don't believe these theories about his eyelids dancing a lodge jig. He was just fluttering his eyelids like a normal kid.

People also perceived Denise moving strangely, and I honestly think that the Black Lodge has just worked itself into people's minds so strongly that they're now noticing odd movements everywhere that are just ordinary banal odd human movements. It's very interesting how the show's estrangement effects can affect the mind's perception.

The Denise scene (end) is definitely reversed. I only say this as I am normally rubbish at spotting things. I don't think it's anything supernatural, more an artistic choice or an intentional fix of a shot.

I think with Denise people are having trouble with why that particular scene was included, so they're looking for things. Aside from the end part, I didn't see any indicators she was off. (I think focusing the conversation on womanhood with Denise was a way of contributing to the overall themes of identity maybe?) But we'll see if anything else comes up when she appears again.

Gordon Cole having a thing for Tammy may turn out to be a plot point rather than just a little joking around.

It seemed that the scene was somehow for the development of Tammy's role/character; there's no way it's just fanservice. Will we see Richard Chamberlain again?

The closing tune is Windswept by Johnny Jewel from the album of the same name. It seems you can download the whole album it for $1.00 from the Italians Do It Better website. The opening tune from Vegas was also Johnny Jewel - The Flame.

I'm not 100% sure but I think some of the musical cues we have been hearing are Thought Gang, which is Badalamenti and Lynch's avant-garde jazz duo that did A Real indication on FWWM soundtrack. I've certainly saw Though Gang's Frank 2000 credited more than once this series.

I haven't read The Odyssey in a long time, but I'm curious as to whether Frost's love of Joyce may have inspired him and Lynch to create a Ulysses style episodic journey for Cooper.

The parallels probably wouldn't be exact, just as in Joyce's deployment of the material. For example, doesn't Ulysses experience a period of memory loss like Cooper?

I'm going to look over the plot some time today to see if it might provide clues for where we're going.

Showtime's Gary Levine said that “the core of it is Agent Cooper’s odyssey back to Twin Peaks.”

Interesting that Part 8 is 'Gotta Light?'. I'm wondering if someone is going to ask this of Richard again.

Oh boy, I hope Comast/Xfinity drop Part 6 early like last week with 5.

Eagle fuckin' eyed for that weekly leak.

That sweet leak tastes like cherry pie.

What will you do if you can't get a screenshot of Part 6 three hours before it airs?

WHAT WILL YOU DO?!?!?

The credits list Sam Smith as part of Trouble.Sam Smith's Imdb page also says so.Did anyone spot him?

There is no way in a million years that someone who produces bland blue-eyed soul like the UK's Sam Smith would ever be attached to a group like Trouble. It's a different guy.

Interestingly, I don't believe the other two actresses were even in the List of 217.

Indeed, they weren't.

The first time I watched Part 5, I thought the Sunny Jim reverse blink thing was clear as day. Second time around, I didn't notice it. Assuming it's true (I haven't gone back for a third slow-mo look, it's obviously a very blink and you'll miss moment (pun intended).

I've checked - it is reversed. The quesion is: is it mean something, or Lynch wanted in the editing proces the boy opening eyes, and they just used the shot they've got in reverse.
