I'm not sure if this show is moving in any direction or if it contains something.. it has all of the right old testament elements to add up to some really creepy moments coming up; they have laid all the foundation moments from both Babylon & the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah.. some of the biblical illusions are really thick; others are just stated in order to at least clue the fan in.
But for all the old-testament homages, as well as homages provided toward other religious sentiment (there are several Wiccan elements that have come into strange play) I'm unsure of how it's melding it all together.
What this show needs is an epiphany episode; if it does not come soon, then it's going to be lost. If they can produce that one "ah-hah" moment soon; the program will have serious problems.
The only moment they came close seemed like a paradox with the rest of the show; when he saw the words "tarava" on the wall, I thought "what kind of mix is this?"
"tarava" comes from references to Vishnu; and has some meaning of "the end" type effect; but it is a connector, not an end unto itself, and it's prescence is like being in the middle of a sentence, not an end or a beginning unto itself.
The show desperately needs to make a case, and sooner then later, or a lot of people will give up rather then wait.
