[Nemo123]

I wanted to post this on DS (but I'm banned).

Anyway, A2A is an allegory of John Milton's poems, Paradise Lost, and Paradise Regained.

Hunt is Adam, Alex is Eve, and Keats is the serpent, and tonight Gene's gang will regain paradise.

Paradise Lost was actually quoted in last week's episode.

"For Adam and his chosen sons, whom thou,
A Saviour, art come down to reinstall;"

[Nemo123]

Reading the poem feverishishly for a reference to the stars, I found this:

"Now, contrary--if I read aught in heaven,
Or heaven write aught of fate--by what the stars
Voluminous, or single characters
In their conjunction met, give me to spell,
Sorrows and labours, opposition, hate,
Attends thee; scorns, reproaches, injuries,
Violence and stripes, and, lastly, cruel death.
A kingdom they portend thee, but what kingdom,
Real or allegoric, I discern not;
Nor when: eternal sure--as without end,
Without beginning; for no date prefixed
Directs me in the starry rubric set."
