The braiding of this story is pretty appealing, in lots of ways. This specific point in the design is episode represents is kind of blowing my mind. The production design is brilliant, with details that keep reminding me of what was revealed subtly many, many episodes before. I have to read these books. I don't know why I didn't try them ages ago is a mystery that might be cultural. The subtler details of time-travel decision making is really laid out, in ways I have seldom encountered, in either visual or literary versions.
The allusion to the delightfully extended reduction of disbelief of Dark Shadows from 1968 television in Season 2 seems like a nod to this realization that "yep, it's going to get really weird. Just go with it. You won't regret it." If somebody else also saw Roger Moore & Jane Seymour from Live and Let Die in the Maroon ceremony, I would be grateful to hear.
