BATMAN????!!! Tim Burton??? As Lucy used to say in the "Peanuts" cartoon strip, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHOHOHOHO!!!". You'd better go and watch your tape copy again, if you have one. The director was Tim HUNTER. He directed the film "River's Edge", which had Dennis Hopper in it. It was a movie about a high school guy who kills his girlfriend and eventually tells his friends about it, and they all go and see the body (at the edge of a river - interesting Laura Palmer connection), but none of them will go to the authorities. It was probably due to this Lynch-like film that he was chosen for a Twin Peaks episode. I thought the 5/3 episode was one of the better weekly installments, certainly an improvement over the 4/26 show. Oh well, Keith, even if you got your directors wrong I agree with you about the scene involving the raid on Jacques' apartment and the lighting, camera angles, etc. It was my favorite scene in that episode.
