Ashes to Ashes

[JHyde]

You know what, while out on my run, I actually think this both makes better sense of Sam's coming back to '73 but also complicates it too. Wasn't the whole point of Sam going back to '73 that he knew he was dead? Nelson's whole 'when you can't feel, you're dead' stuff?

But, if we're going to get all Catholic - Hell is where Keats is going. Purgatory is where Gene is and all these others who have been dead for indefinite amounts of time (or is it limbo?) and Paradiso is the pub?

I love it!! I also love that in this theory, that makes Gene, Virgil. He is a modern day poet, so it's quite fitting.

The more I think about this, the better sense it makes if you think of this as Dante's La Divina Commedia. And I do, because I'm a dork.

I really, really need to go back to study.
