It's very evocative. But I hadn't even consider all the meanings behind it like you brought up. Good points! That's one of the things I enjoy so much about Joss' storytelling. He always manages to build upon the intrigue and excitement that I he had already laid down (i.e. the Anointed one < Spike and Dru < Angelus.) He always like throwing in twists, and The Nevers is inspired by (or may out right be) Twist, his comic. So there's every bit a chance that there will be a big twist/fake out in TN.

Good job. I'm looking forward to this show too. Thanks for making this community for us.
