Relatedly, I would like to ask Sims-the-writer what the hell he was thinking when he named two very different characters "Gerard."
I have an answer to this one! The answer is that he didn't, Hopworth's first name is Jared, it's just that their names are pronounced EXACTLY THE SAME. /o\
Also, 100% agree on The New Door. I love uncanny architecture anyway, but the ending is absolutely what makes it. One of the things about the people making statements is that generally they've had to survive long enough to make the statements, and so there's this sense of oh, well, at least they lived. But with Helen, we get that rug pulled right out from under us, IN REAL TIME. It's probably my favorite episode for sheer creep factor, alongside Lost John's Cave from the first season.
