Note from Sam:

We talk about a lot in this episode, and that's because there's a lot to love. 

I think one thing we should have talked a lot about is the writing; we took it for granted in reviewing the episode, as the x-factor that bound all of the elements of the game together. It's beautiful, and if we're sticking with the space theme, it's the vital air that animated and sustained all of the characters on Erlin's Eye.

 I won't make a habit of issuing errata for our episodes, but I felt it bore mentioning.
