The following article was originally posted on hyperMosaic.com by SpoilerGuy. You can read the original article there.

We’ve been able to find out the episode titles for the next few episodes of the series. After this week’s episode “Believe,” we’ll be watching the strangely titled “A561984,” the tenth episode of the season. We’re not quite sure of the meaning behind that one, but it looks like a date, in a way (May 6, 1984?).

The eleventh episode of the season will be titled “Buddha in the Ruins,” and episode twelve will be titled “Kairos.” After a bit of searching (okay, we just Wikipediad the term) we found out that a Kairos was:

Kairos (??????) is an ancient Greek word meaning the right or opportune moment (the supreme moment). The ancient Greeks had two words for time, chronos and kairos. While the former refers to chronological or sequential time, the latter signifies a time in between, a moment of undetermined period of time in which something special happens. What the special something is depends on who is using the word. While chronos is quantitative, kairos has a qualitative nature.

Then we’ll hit episode thirteen, “Better Angels.” While we’re not sure if there’s any  connection between the two, Better Angels is also the title of a 1999 science fiction novel by Howard V. Hendrix. What does that title mean? Well, according to Wikipedia:

“Better angels” is a phrase used by agents of organization Tetragrammatron to described what they hope to make humanity into. Tetragrammatron is concerned with ensuring humanity’s survival by creating a machine/human transcendences, turning humans into “better angels”.

These titles are very interesting, and we can’t wait to see how they relate to their episodes.
