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).
