So. When we were fist introduced to the Blood of Eden, my first thought, of course, was of the Peter Gabriel song.

Now I don’t actually think the group is named after it. But I still thought it would be fun to take a look at the lyrics, and these are the parts that jumped out to me:

Well, that certainly reminds me of someone. Someone, perhaps, who started with very human flaws; someone who was vindictive, insecure, prone to tunnel vision, who could never own up to his mistakes. And the more powerful he became, the more cataclysmic his flaws.

Well.

Alecto is not technically a woman. But the imagery is very much there.

😳 Jokes aside, this, to me, calls to mind all of the series’ revenants. The souls in the river, hungry for blood. The billions of unresurrected souls pouring forth from wherever John stowed them, possessing and corrupting living bodies. The resurrection beasts’ paths of endless devouring. John, whom nothing can satisfy. Nothing.
