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?

Not sure about the first two, but the last episode was P-I-P-S and a reference to the pips in the episode and also the Sherlock Holmes story "The Five Orange Pips" which was used as the basis for certain elements of the episode's plot.

Yeah I keep getting from other folks that the words/letters don't mean anything, and that I'm freaking out over basically nothing.

*sigh* Oh well. I just like secret messages, and I thought maybe this meant something. ^_^;;

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.

Lol I just squee when I see it, 'OMG THE THING AND THE THING AND THAT THING AND OMG' but also I do things like, 'OMG MORIARTY IS LIKE VENUS' which lol, totally makes no sense unless you've read the Lucifer Box mysteries, which makes me glad I only watch this show with my spouse, so no one give me the crazy eye.
