I've put together a list of all the fire imagery so far this season. I've found something in each episode. Since there's been more than any other season, I believe this is leading up to a Fire Night reveal. I will update this for each episode.

Thanks Tuxie400. Right up my street, so to speak! really enjoyed reading it. I don't know if I noted the parallel to the Cook cooking on a gas stove in the beginning, and Liz burning the meal she was cooking on the stove in her apt. Set off the smoke alarm and Baz came running in (miss Baz!). But that is what I immediately thought of when I saw that opening scene. And Liz ends that episode by reading from the Wizard of Oz....

Tuxie and lara1 - I appreciate the acknowledgements!
lara1 - I think you mentioned that gas stove parallel in the The Cook episode. Be sure to add it to your parallels, and I'll insert the part about the gas stove above.

thanks, Tuxie, will do. I have a couple of episodes to post, LOL.

I've added a few more things from the Endling episode to the main fire imagery list (explosion and smoke). I also noticed there were those white fairy lights like by Red's newly acquired plane at the barbecue restaurant where Liz met Tom for a normal lunch.

great observation Tuxie400 - and, the same restaurant, by the way, where tom just happens to steal her badge so he can try to identify the bones, which may - or may not - be linked to fire night.

OMG. Barbecue restaurant?

Yes, barbecue restaurant. And now so many people have been barbecued.

...exactly! I wonder if the writers had a kind of joke with that one too. So much stuff right in front of our faces that may fly over our heads, there is so much to take in with each episode.......

I didn't think to connect that at all! Lol

Well, I thought we had some fire imagery in the song Cut Me Down, which was used in Raleigh Sinclair III, but the line about burning and fire is the only one not audible. I think it got edited out in the final cut. The song does contain many of the BL symbols: birds, water, fire, dance. And even stepping out of one's shadow - perhaps a reference to Jung's shadow self. It is an eerie song, but oddly fitting for the graveside scene.
Cut Me Down
by Kevin Morby
Birds will gather at my side
Tears will gather in my eyes
Throw my head and cry
As vultures circle in the sky
And you're going to do
What you came here to do
So why not do it now
Oh and cut me down
No one, nowhere to go
Step out of my shadow
Take me as I am
A man
And they're going to do
What they came here to do
You can see it in them now
They're going to cut me down
looking for a fire, I'm looking to burn
looking for the water, the water i wept
looking for the dance, the dance that I did
looking for the dead, the dead that I left

Tuxie400, did you accidentally delete it, (or maybe just changed your mind about what to add?)

lara1 - Thanks for alerting me. It was under 5.14 instead of 5.15. I'm not good at typing numbers. LOL It's in the right place now.
Offline
oh OK I see it now. I find the format fiddly sometimes, especially when using bullets and indentation.
Offline
This is a good list Tuxie, I didn't think of 5.7 at all.

Updated for 5.17
