Cryptology

 

 ... or just “Crypto” is the Agency’s department for deciphering coded messages, texts etc.

Since human behaviour and words are also often “coded”, I decided to create this section, in which I am going to try to decipher and interpret different scenes or even whole episodes. Sometimes in short notes, sometimes in long reviews. I hope, you’ll enjoy them.

Of course all of the insights I give here are just my own opinions on these topics. It’s only natural that you won’t agree on everything I write, and that’s very okay. In fact, if you would like to add your own interpretation on a scene or episode, feel free to contact me!

All of my texts here in this section you can also find in the episode discussions at the Scarecrow and Mrs. King Forum. If you’d like to enjoy a lot of more similar or also different opinions and maybe want to join in the discussions, please visit the forum and become a member. You won’t regret it!

Another source of fun, recaps and intepretation is Dana's blog Just walk with me!


Here are my takes and interpretations so far. Enjoy – and comment on them, if you like!
