Wow- you give GREAT meta. Your comments about Daniel's angel costuming, Abyss as journey to the underworld/classic Hero with a Thousand Faces stuff, and Christ allegory were all things I'd seen and tossed around a bit, but you articulate them REALLY well. But other things- most particularly the Refusal of Return and Carter as Magdalene- are things I'd never seen and they're stunning

And, oh wow, Harcesis is a Hellenization of Heru-ur? MY GOD, that changes EVERYTHING! I can't believe I never tried to find the source for Harcesis, because that's FANTASTIC. Thanks so much!
