I always have to have a title before I begin writing, since the
title always influences the feel of the show. I try to design one that
is literary, or refers to a literary influence; it should have a certain
rhythm, and avoid coming at the subject of the episode too dead-on. For
instance, one could call the recent Psi Cop episode with Bester,
"Capture" or "Chase." But I wanted it to be evocative, to conjure up
the image of people slipping through the shadows, pursued by others, and
to continue this season's trend toward titles that indicate a coming
night. Hence, "A Race Through Dark Places."
