Anderson (was Gravity's Audio)

[Mark Thibodeau]

I have to say that I definitely DID get a "V." vibe from a lot of The
Master on a couple specific points. The early parts, especially.
Joaquin being a human yo-yo for one, all the Navy shenanigans
(including the drinking of the torpedo juice) for two. So it's not
like it's not there.
