Miranda: Civilization builds. We invent architecture, agriculture, writing, scholarship . . . then, “magic.” Leveraging our power to hack the universe, using words to lock it in place.
Finally, some enterprising scholar asks, “Why can’t we make humans? Other than in the usual way, I mean.”
Sparrow: “We can build him. We have the technology.”
Miranda: So they give it a shot. They shape an Unshaped Being.
And they try, in their own turn, to fill it with light.
Golem: Happy birthday!
Okay, impressive yes, but can it perform “Putting on the Ritzl?
I’d settle for Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star at this juncture. Gotta walk before you dance, after all!
I thought Daisy, Daisy was the traditional one. >:=)>
That’s more for taking them apart, rather than putting them together.
I’m sure if every researcher thinking about creating artificial life would be glomped by woman offering to do the usual way the research would be seriously slowed if not stopped. I’m also sure there aren’t enough women willing to do that.
(Meanwhile, there is definitely enough man willing to take care of smaller number of female researchers in the field.)
.. men …
Seriously? A Frosty the Snowman reference?

Anyone else willing to bet this is the Dove? I’ve been working under the assumption that they’re the oldest Being, and I think we’ve only seen them with a Master once – back in Interlude 3, shortly before the Donkey was created.
They didn’t seem to have anyone with them in their next appearance, when Maria and the Donkey took over for Josh, but they WERE helping them.
After that, all appearances are with Dr. Rosen and Luthien (the Donkey). They’re currently called Jonah, and have had… two appearances after the main plot of Interlude Three – one in human form (with wings!) at Dr. Rosen’s archeological dig in/around Jerusalem (aka the epilogue of episode 3), and the other in bird form on Dr. Rosen’s shoulder… at the tail end of the ‘Sparrow’s “Christmas overload” dream sequence’ that makes up the bulk of Interlude Four.
(Although the dream sequence implies that Sparrow knows that Dr. Rosen has contact with the Dove, at least. I hadn’t noticed that before.)
