What promises did our ancestors fulfill and what lunacy did they survive? What historic, phantasmagorical travels did they wheedle and render throughout? …And in a breath we realize that reasons for exorcists exist within. German Expressionist-American newsreels and tarot currency pushing an otherworldly balance that is at once hyper real and not untrue. And you get to float through it all, like the pilot of the first zeppelin or the character in the head of young Bruegel the Elder.

    I've recently started watching this series on DVD, and am enthralled by the title sequence. The analogy of the struggles of the Great Depression and the icons and mysteries of the Tarot deck are brilliant. I also love the 3-D effect they use as the camera zooms into some of the cards. Great stuff.

    But who's this Ronald D. Moore guy?? ;)

    (That's a little joke - I'm also a big fan of his more recent series, the revival of Battlestar Galactica)
