[Came up with this for @a-mag-a-day since this is one of my favourite episodes, also heavy tma spoilers from now on.]

I really like the theory of Lagorio's films being a way of capturing the Entities' powers on a fisical medium, as a predecessor to the Archivists' tapes.

I actually tried listing with which power each mentioned film might be connected:

Labyrinth of the Minotaur-The Spiral.  >Literally a labyrinth, plus Gabriel (most probably the Worker-In-Clay Gabriel)

Agents of Orion-The Desolation (?)  

Beyond Time-The Lonely (?)  

Under New York-The Buried.  >Literally underground

The Crawling Ones-The Corruption.  >"My dreams are crawling and many-legged." -J. W. Prentiss

Dead Sky-The Dark.  >Maybe the title references an absence of sunlight?

Nightmare Children-The Flesh (?)

Forty Winks-The Eye.  >What winks? You guessed it,

Toy Shop-The Slaughter.  >Said to have been described as a hyper-violent video nasty

Orbit-The Vast.  >Featured a 12-feet-tall animatronic, plus the title may refer to the vastness of the sky

The Wire Runner-The Stranger.  >Only use of CGI in Lagorio's filmography, and criticised for it. Could it be because of the Uncanny Valley, Polar Express-style?

Eagle Falls-The Extinction.  >Featured irradiated creatures

Jewel of the Amazon-Hunt.  >Centered around an animatronic jaguar

The Harvestmen-The End.  >The Harvestmen could possibly be a reference to the Grim Reaper

Dancer (unfinished)-The Web.  >Probably a failed attempt at a film for the Web

Widow's Weave (unfinished)-The Web.  >A later attempt at creating a film for the Web indirectly through Dexter Banks. It might have gone a... bit out of hand.

Oh and also, I just love the mental image of Daisy angrily scribbling on a hiring paper in Peter's office. My little feral girl she's precious :)

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

[onewordtest]

“Unless you are following the dialogue with an action and not a dialogue tag.” He took a deep breath and sat back down after making the clarifying statement. 

[joehywheelah]

“However,” she added, shifting in her seat, “it’s appropriate to use a comma if there’s action in the middle of a sentence.”

[tenoko1]

“True.” She glanced at the others. “You can also end with a period if you include an action between two separate statements.”

Things I didn’t know

[prismatic-bell]

“And–” she waved a pen as though to underline her statement–“if you’re interrupting a sentence with an action, you need to type two hyphens to make an en-dash.”

You guys have no idea how many students in my advanced fiction workshop didn’t know any of this when writing their stories.
