But the most powerful symbols of all in the intro remain the God and Devil, good vs evil! You cannot get more blantant than that, and their battlefield is even given. They show the world, people in a food line with misery abundant, than zooms out to show the ace of swords. This is the battleground, earth in misery.

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) I’ve recently started watching this series on DVD, and am enthralled by the title sequence.
