Apologies if this subject has come up somewhere else on the forum; I've been too busy to keep up with recent postings. The episode saying or motto, was "Awake, arise, or be forever fallen." Looked it up and it's from John Milton's 'Paradise Lost' about the fall from grace of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Satan says it to his legions. Now that's intriguing.
Makes me think that some one person may be behind this uprising who is the equivalent of a Satan to his followers - perhaps misleading them because the devil is supposed to be such a clever deceiver.
Adam and Eve were not portrayed as bad humans in the poem; but weak, in the case of Adam not resisting his love for Eve, and too curious, in the case of Eve, who succumbed to the devious tempting of the snake in the Garden. So it's hard to run too close a parallel to Eve from the story and what is happening in the show - because, for me, it's impossible to see a Satan and Adam match-up in the cast of characters (for the record, Sean and Nick seem too obivious). Can't help but wondering if there is a connection to the saying and the story, tho'.
Just some random musings down a path leading nowhere.
