Jinkies!

I'm from the US, so I got to the episodes late in the game, and I'm not sure if everyone's figured this out already; I've tried Google, I've combed the official sites, I even cracked the pigpen code (yes yes I figured out only after doing it myself that it had already been done), but I can't find any mention of this...

In episode 2, there are certain letters in the end credits that are red. I caught, in order: M A G I N E. Now one could assume I missed the letter I, but I don't like to assume.

In episode 3, I was making sure to watch, and found, in order: P P S

I didn't catch episode 1's letters, but has anyone else at all caught this? Can anyone else go through recorded episodes and find the missing letters? Has anyone else been working on this code?

I think it's just a cute reference to the episode plot and the short story it pulled elements from, and it's fun to pick out.

But I don't know that it necessarily "means" something in terms of a broader mystery or anything on the tie-in websites.

It's also fun to pick up my old "Complete Illustrated Sherlock Holmes" book and re-read stuff that was used in the show, but I'm just a geek that way.
