So I only got into this series recently (although I've now watched the entire run three times -- oh, how fast they fall), and I wondered if anybody can tell me more about the man Stick was speaking to at the end of his eponymous episode. Scarred back to camera, major muscles, discussion of the coming war and gates opening? Possibly related to whatever Black Sky was besides a young boy?
Anyone?
Also, because I've seen people referring to it as a "language" -- Braille is a way of writing an alphabet. You can use the letters to make words in any language. In contrast, American Sign Language is truly a language -- unique vocabulary and syntax that isn't a one-for-one conversion of English to gesture.
