True, but those lights tended to flicker '''without''' the assistance of mysterious goings-on. Makes it a bit hard to tell if the flickering's supposed to be significant.

That is a good point. I noticed on tonight's episode the camera lingered on a candle that seemed to be slowly dimming but I couldn't tell if it was intentional. [[Special:Contributions/87.102.91.126|87.102.91.126]]<sup>[[User talk:87.102.91.126#top|talk to me]]</sup> 20:49, May 4, 2013 (UTC) | |||
