Pre-Air-Date Speculation
On July 23, 2011, Elizabeth Bear revealed that the epigraph for "Dark Leader" was the following quote from Mark Twain:
 * "The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right."

She also stated that there was no first line yet. 

The air date was initially announced as April 7, 2013, with Elizabeth Bear listed as the sole author. On February 22, 2013, Emma Bull announced that the airdates for "Apolysis" and all subsequent episodes would be bumped one month into the future. After that announcement, the air date continued to slip, despite the best efforts of Bear, Bull and Shetterly; "anomalous influence" is suspected.
