Thanks for the kind words.

No, no relation to Ivanova's outfit. I just wanted a sense of
something that was both ancient and ageless, frozen, formal, distant.

Thanks. So far the general reaction has been, "But...but...what
NOW?" which is *exactly* the reaction I was hoping for.

Everybody keeps commenting, "This is the sort of episode you
have at the end, not 6 eps into your season." Yep.

We're funny that way....

You may not find out who built the Great Machine in the series,
but that will be one of the features of one of the planned TNT movies.
And there will be more on the Valen/Sinclair transformation as well.

Didn't require leading out of the shower, but I didn't much come
out of my office for a very long time thereafter....

One of the reasons, yeah.
