Hmmm. Very interesting. Although (as usual with s8) I have a feeling that we, the fans, are putting more thought into this than the writers...
*cough* we fans have ALWAYS put more thought into it than the writers. They are writing this for money and forget it when they go home. We on the other hand ponder it, rewatch it, and write oodles of stuff on it. I seriously doubt half the stuff we've found ever occurred to them.
But that I suspect is true of all writing and all art. That's the point of interactive art - the audience brings their own subtext. The art doesn't exist without them. It is in other words little more than an inkblot on paper until we decide to see more.
