INDEXING: REFLECTIONS episode #4, "Split Ends."

The fourth episode of Indexing: Reflections is available now! This is your talkpost and discussion zone. There will be spoilers in the comments here. As always on talkposts, I have partial comment amnesty, and will not be responding to everything.

"Split Ends" is where we really start rolling into the central plot of this season, and when we start to get a better look at the workings of the whiteout wood. Always Henry's favorite thing.

Once upon a time...

I can be a little slow sometimes, so if this is old news, please forgive me. I was just doing some internet searching and I stumbled across this interesting fact: Marchen, or Märchen, is German for fairy tale. Was this mentioned in the first book and I missed it? Or is it an Easter Egg left for us to find? (Me last of all, probably) Anyway, I thought it was cool.

Easter egg?

I think it came up in LJ discussion last time, but I don't think it was specifically called out in the story.

Easter Egg - a hidden message, feature ... whatever. Usually it's applied to digital media, especially video games, but authors were hiding things in their work long before the digital age.

I think it's mentioned that because Henri's parents are unknown (thanks to her mother being a Jane Doe Sleeping Beauty), she and Gerry got Marchen as their surname when they were adopted. Gerry changed his to March, presumably when he was adjusting his legal first name.

It's mentioned in the first book. Demi brings it up while she's still convinced that the entire thing is some elaborate prank : "How do you people expect me to believe that this isn’t a big prank when you’re literally named ‘Agent Fairy Tale’?”

That is one of my favorite one-liners in the series.

Thank you, I had totally forgotten that part. Going back and reading it again, I remember giggling at it the first time around. In hindsight it also shows that Demi has a pretty wide knowledge base.
