It's Shawn Colvin.

I don't post much, but I spend some time on this forum every day during the week reading your theories and observations to wait for each new episode, but... am I the only one who thought the cover of Elvis' Viva Las Vegas was terrible and didn't fit at all in the show ? I Don't think I've seen any post about it, but I think that was the only flaw of that episode

My second guess is that Mr. C has power over her and can possess her or control her to do things at his will. He took advantage of her that night and now she can't escape... I am hoping that by the end of this story they save Diane and defeat Mr. C... at whatever it takes!

I love this story so much - this is my favorite movie/TV ever right after Buffy... and that says a lot!

I agree wholeheartedly with all of this. I also agree with the poster below who noted that DougieCoop is the emotional core of the show; but as charming and beautiful as I have found much of that storyline, it doesn't compare to the powerful mixture of suffering, pain, love and (sometimes) redemption we've gotten from all of DKL's major works from FWWM on. Outside of the Dougie scenes, TPTR seems almost aggressively focused on narrative/mythology (and shaggy-dog asides), at least when compared to most of DKL's other "recent" works (ironic since many viewers feel there's been little plot movement). In the original show, the mythology worked at its best when it was in service of showing Laura's pain and the terror and sadness caused by her death. I hope when all is said and done, all of the new developments end up saying something similarly complex and personal about Dale, and about all of us.

I agree. But I must say that as far as emotions are concerned, the final scene of Part 11 had me reeling. It was powerful and unexpected and operated at a level that most things don't, in that it had me all at once on the edge of my seat with a huge smile on my face and tears in my eyes...longing for the return. A friend of mine said you have to actively want it (the return) to be fully engaged with this, at the same time you're willing to be taken wherever Lynch/Frost take you. That scene so far is the culmination of that.

I'm of the mind that you can't really put that song in anything and not recognize the schlock of it, so I think they partially placed it there with a knowing wink.

Twin Peaks 2017 group on Facebook found this - did a search here, didn't know if it'd been caught here or no. Three minutes apart, Diane's POV is flipped

there are a ton of examples of shots being re-used twice, lines of dialogue or camera set ups hand gestures or partial scenes repeated etc.
this because Twin Peaks is not '' reality'' it is a '' representation''.
it does not have to obey documentary law.

And editors are just way too fast in flipping scenes for whatever feel or framing they want. For example, the flipped airplane view a few parts back with the reverse writing. I guess it is so easy to do in digital editing.

With his hands reaching out by the house, Cole reminded me of the One Armed Man inside the Red Room.

I'm familiar with the song from being played during closing credits of "The Big Lebwoski," which film came out around the time that I was a Colvin fan and adored it for that use. Here, in Part 11 it did feel like an odd choice; plus, the way it got cut off sharply seemed sudden and jarring. One of those head-scratching "WTF with the editing?" moments for me~
