Thanks...as always, you catch all the nuances, and pick up on a
few things that I wasn't consciously aware of doing (the subconscious
is a sneaky, subversive thing that cannot be trusted).

One of the things I always do is look for ways to turn the
series format on its head, and show us our characters from other
perspectives, since perspective is so much at the heart of the show.
Whether that's jumping forward in time, or an ISN documentary, or
seeing everything through the eyes of a third party (or two), it's
always a risk, because it's never what one expects to see, and a lot of
people like to see what they expect to see.
