As soon as I saw the mayor standing in front of the mike, I knew that
Coop was going to have another vision; the framing of the shot was very
tell-tale.

It *shouldn't* bother you that Dale might fail to heed the Giant's
warning.  The Giant's warning is extremely obvious to us, since we've
been given *far* more information than Coop -- *we* know all too well
exactly what "queen" means in this context; Dale doesn't.  From Coop's
point of view, the vision happened outside of any particular context
other than small talk with Annie.  He's so enraptured by the moment that
he doesn't see the significance of events that we the omniscient
audience do.
