Didja Notice?

 

An advertising sign for Gordon & Dilworth's Tomato Catsup is seen on the railway platform at 3:05 on the DVD. This was a real world brand in the late 19th Century and into about the mid-20th.

 

At 6:57 on the DVD, an advertising sign for Mcnulty Glue Company is seen leaning against the wall of the entryway of the railway station. As far as I can tell, this is a fictitious company.

 

George Tully is seen to wear a Christian cross on a necklace.

 

Sapphire sees that the unnamed soldier seen in spirit form at the railway station died during WWI (1914-1918).

 

At 11:45 on the DVD, an advertising sign for Spratt's Patent Chicken Meal is seen on the railway platform. This was a real world brand from about 1860-1950.

 

At 14:00 on the DVD, an advertising sign for Capstan Navy Cut Cigarettes is seen on the railway platform. This is a real world British brand of cigarettes.

 

Twin Peaks note: Sapphire tells Tully that the force she and Steel are hunting draws power from human responses like hatred, anger, and resentment (similar to the garmonbozia--pain and suffering--consumed by the inhabiting beings of the Black Lodge...though, in this case, Sapphire says it's the reponses of the dead rather than the living).
