Hi, this may be a strange question, and Robert Wolfe may not be able to answer it, but I hope he can or at least refer me to someone who can....

I wanted to know more about the symbols painted on Harry's office doorway and in his apartment.  Is there any specific reason those symbols were chosen, and what was their source?  

The reason I ask is because I'm writing my master's thesis on Giorgio de Chirico, and in his paintings he has a lot of symbols that look very similar to the ones in the TV show.  I was thinking they might be related to ancient divination symbols, but if they're linked to magic or alchemy that would be really interesting.

If you can give me any help with my question, I'd really appreciate it.  Thanks!

Hi,

I'm not sure if this question was asked or not, but since the series wasn't renewed for a second season, can we get a clearer timeline on when Bob was alive, when he met Winefride, and when he was sentenced to his skull? I've heard conflicting dates, and I wanted to get it from RHW....

Thanks!

Hmmm, let's see.

Hrothbert is a Saxon name.  Winifred is most likely Welsh.  Bainbridge is a town in North Yorkshire, settled since the days of the Romans at least.  So they both would have lived in England before the Norman invasion, at least in my mind.  Let's say 900 AD for a nice round number at the height of Mercian England.

Speaking of Winifred and Bob, you did once tell us that you would share with us the full back story if the show wasn't renewed.  Are you able to share that back story with us now?

By the way, Lisa Ryder (to me) will always be Tracy from Forever Knight.
