Mystification
Aug. 1st, 2011 10:59 amWe watch PBS's Masterpiece Mystery, and we have noticed that in the closing technical credits (or whatever they're called -- the scrolling credits that follow the cast list) a few letters are displayed in red, and that if you just read the red letters you find that they spell out a name or a word that has some connection to the episode that you just watched.
Last night we watched the second "Zen" episode (the one named "Cabal"), and the red-highlighted letters spelled "LADISLAW". There was no character with anything like such a name in the show, and my only association with that name is the young romantic semi-hero of George Eliot's Middlemarch; but I cannot for the life of me detect any connection between Will Ladislaw or George Eliot with an elaborate murder mystery set in modern Rome.
I am, as they say, mystified.
