It's probably not intentional, but Dieter (and Wayne of "Wayne's World")
is played by Michael Myers, which is the name of the killer in the
"Halloween" horror movies.  Like I said, probably a coincidence.
(OooooooooWEEEEEEEEEEEEEoooooooooo....)

Other points that have been raised:
-) The Circle Brand will probably allow Coop to match Leo's footprints
with some footprints up at the mill.  Maybe P. Mike Gerard (aka the
One-Armed Man) sells 'em.  I'm pretty sure Leo was wearing those new
black boots up at the mill (check your copies).

-) The third prediction was: "Without chemicals, he points."  Somebody
posted it before, and I think it was slightly incorrect.  We TP'ers are
nothing if not sticklers for mindless detail B^).

-) The drug-smuggling in coffee grounds may come from "Beverly Hills Cop".
Remember when Eddie walks into a warehouse and pretends to be from
Customs?  The coke (not heroin) was in coffee grounds.  All Eddy found
was the grounds, but had to explain this smuggling trick to the local fuzz.

-) Yes, Jacques' death IS being investigated.  Cooper and Truman asked
Jacoby whether he saw anything.  No, but he smelled engine oil.  Anybody
know why Leland should smell like a service station?

-) IMHO, the outline on the rug which Maddy saw was shaped like a body
wrapped in plastic.  It was lying on its left side, feet on the lower
right hand corner of the screen.  But then again, it's a Rorschach test,
and you will probably see something else.

-) Jacques Renault's blood is AB-, according to Cooper and Doc Hayward (see
the dialogue in Jacques' apartment when they're searching it in daylight).
So there must be something else which keeps it from matching the blood on
the towel which Hawk found.

-) Killer Bob is not having a tantrum in Ronnette's flashback.  He's
exulting.  Ooh, scary stuff, kids.

-) Yes, the shades definitely contribute to Donna (and Maddy, too) acting
like bad Lauren Bacall imitators.

-) The title of the song is "Mairzy Doats".  Yes, it's spelled like that.
Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divy.  A kiddly divy too,
wouldn't you?

That's it.  I can't wait to see what Harold looks like!!!
I'm glad we found out about how Nadine lost her eye.  I'm still wondering
whether we'll find out about why Mrs. Hayward is in the wheelchair.

The watchword this week is:  patience!
