Weird question, considering the source material, but why would Spalko see all these human atrocities? Isn't "knowledge" the "gift"? I will never understand why Spalko had to die this horrible death because of possibly scientific knowledge, wisdom...well, uhm, enlightenment of some interdimensional kind? Not that I pity her...it just doesn't make sense.

Ah, yes, that was the whole point, right? ;-) I actually like the newsfeed idea. But since our interdimensional "host" probably wouldn't be showing Spalko real news footage, shouldn't we perhaps try to find footage that transports the idea behind those "old time feeds"? But of more recent quality? There have been movies in the last two or three decades that surely have dealt with almost anything nasty we can possibly throw at Spalko, I guess.

Just a thought.
