That's a great idea! We have this thing we do, which is to write little bits of dialogue at each other; that might make a nice addition too. We'll have to consider how to present it, but I think we definitely will. And we have a whole little ficlet planned that's going to be sort of a DVD featurette, which'll start off the commentary, so there's that as well.
...This is how we console ourselves when we're wheeling down to the end.
I was reading what you said to Rach upthread, and the weird thing (and I'm able to say this out loud because it's 4am, and my internal editor seems to have fallen asleep, unlike the rest of me, which seems to have had too much coffee or something) is that there's this weird creepiness about this universe in that I feel like I never discovered it before, but it was always somehow waiting. Suddenly I'm looking at books I read as a child and finding these perfect quotes that sort of encapsulate my Theory of Everything, and it was all here in this particular fictional universe, all this time. Like this one, by Susan Cooper that I must have read a million times, and yet now it all seems connected: "For ever and ever...so that a thing may be for ever, a life or a love or a quest, and yet begin again, and be for ever just as before. And any ending that may seem to come is not truly an ending, but an illusion. For Time does not die, Time has neither beginning nor end, and so nothing can end or die that has once had a place in Time."
