I just assumed the captioning was correct. Using Galeas makes viewers work for the information at least a bit, so that it's sort of an Easter egg for those who know Arthuriana. (I admit I didn't recognize it. I went to Wikipedia because I assumed it was important.)

I did really enjoy the Alcatraz story you wrote me. I wasn't sure what I was expecting for five times Leavenworth was late, but you really delivered. I liked all of the details like Alcatraz returning all of his books mangled or otherwise destroyed. He would. I'm also curious about the details of the elided scene with Kanchenjunga. I can see why Shasta would stop there, but it doesn't stop me being interested.

I'm sorry you had so much trouble getting the canon-- For what it's worth, the audiobooks are pretty good.

I'm intrigued by what looks like the end game for book five with Attica as a villain of sorts. Stopping him seems a lot more important than the war with the Librarians. I had wondered why the Librarians didn't raise Alcatraz inside their ranks, even if his gift would have caused chaos. Having a mainline Smedry working for them would have been invaluable, but if Shasta's long game was always a plan to oppose Attica, what she did with Alcatraz makes more sense.
