So when I watched the episode, when Cooper brings Janey-E and Sonny Jim to the Silver Mustang, when he is leaving there is a green beetle bug going up the screen of the machine, when they first showed the machine it was different... thoughts that the Mother or others are watching Coop thru electricity????

Yes- it was really big then retreated into the background. It may have just been the machine going through the motions but it did look like a scarab beetle, which represents the circle of life, death & re-birth...

Let's all stop and marvel in the performers lip-synching to the session musicians as they perform a great Geffen and King song

Ah yes - that was another jump in time back to the neighbourhood thread...
I thought I'd leave the Monkees up there - Tork & Nesmith were actually musicians! 🙂

Just my opinion. Are you sure you're not overdoing the scarab beetle thing ? Many slot machines are Egyptian-themed, probably because ancient Egypt is popularly seen as a rich civilization

The composition of the shot suggests it was not random, though I am not sold that it was a big clue to something.

Oh, it probably means nothing - but it was just so distracting in the shot...

I agree that it wasnt a big clue too, but not random
