Can we just hold back on the nuclear power plant thing, 'cause there is absolutely no solid evidence that that's what we're dealing with.
As for the Ugly Duckling, what I think you're missing, Sparky, is that in this show everything is brought back to the characters. Whatever the Swan is, it is tied to their development (for good or ill or both) in some way, and that's why the Ugly Duckling theory is so appealing. That's not to say, however, that I am utterly sold on it (it does seem very very obvious, perhaps overly so), just that it makes sense in terms of how the show has worked up 'til now.
I suspect - although I'm not convinced - that the names of the bunkers won't simply map across some internal mythology, mainly because the show's creators seem to be very keen on making references to real world art and culture.
Oh, I still think the names of the bunkers are linked to their use.
Onwards. Thinking about it Jack would certainly recognise, and probably know something (if not a lot) about the history and symbological meaning of, the Caduceus. |
