<<  Katje's statement exactly mirrors the words of cliff-jumper Reg Le 

     Froyd in the previous episode>>

Reminds me of the Simpson's episode last night when Mr. Burns wants to 
get his teddy bear, Bobo back, muttering within a nightmare, afraid to 
tell Smithers, he claims he was saying Sheriff Lobo and it was a shame 
they cancelled it.  Cut to Homer Simpson waking up from a nightmare, 
yelling about how they cancelled Sheriif Lobo.



<<"Angels" reappear in the form of the starlings of London--"converging 
to

hazy stone pedestals, to emptying squares and a great collective 
sleep.">>

Doesn't this line relate to the dream-like passages involving stone 
bird-like pedestals, the illusion of Nazism, Nuremberg, sport stadium and 
Albert Speer episode within the Mittlewerke?

SS like lovers asleep?
