Currently betting that Sam staying the night day will give us our window into what’s happening to Celia.

Is she teleporting? (And if so, will Sam get sucked along, too?) Is another part of her brain waking up and taking her to her day job?

I’ve seen a lot of speculation about John and Martin’s deaths possibly being cover ups for something TMI related. Possible, but I’ve come to a grimmer possibility. Here’s the logic:

Sam found a Johnathan Sims and a Martin Blackwood who died 20 years ago; a cycling accident and a heart issue

In TMA, John and Martin were both born circa 1987

2024 - 20 years ago - 1987 birth year = 17

The heart issue at 17 isn’t unheard of but is quite rare; this is at the heart of people’s suspicion around at least one of the deaths.

What was going on for our boys when they were 17 in TMA? We happen to know for Martin. Here’s a snippet from the MAG 56 transcript:

So TMA!Martin was in a very bad situation at 17; not reflected here, but we know his mom got sick, his father left, and his mother began to hate him for looking like his father. There’s the distinct possibility the damage to Martin’s heart was self-inflicted.

Episode 22 occurs on 15 April; Episode 21 was on 12 April.

Alice messed with Sam’s computer again. He said it’s changed since he started that evening. How long has this been going on? How often?

Hans Berger, the person who wrote the letter in this case, is considered the inventor of electroencephalogram, more commonly known as the EEG. It remains an important medical tool.

Berger’s married his technical assistant, Ursula.

The opening of the case until the dream, including the description of the participant with a cranial defect, the instrumentation, etc., appears consistent with historical Berger.

Berger was interested in the physiological basis for psychic energy.

Berger worked at the University of Jena (Jena is mentioned).

Despite conducting the first EEG in 1924, he waited years to publish it; consistent with the letter mentioning his reputation

Einthoven, mentioned in the case, received the Nobel Prize in medicine for his invention of the ECG (which looks at electrical activity of the heart), that same year, 1924.

Konstantin M. Bykov, also mentioned in the case, worked on what we now call the corpus callosum, the biggest connection between the brain hemispheres. The letter calls this a “Hemispherical Bridge.”

Richard Canton, who Berger is writing to in this case, did work on the brain’s electrical nature that was important to Berger’s invention; Berger was one of the people to emphasize the importance of Canton’s work.
