on trilogies
Perhaps it is a judeo-christian thing, perhaps it is not, but there is something curiously satisfying about trilogies.

judeo-christian all the way.
seems to me it's a bit more wide-spread than that...
"In Christianity there is the Holly Trinity and let us not forget those three wise men in the story either. In the Hindu Faith we have Trimurti or Hindu Trinity, telling of the parts of God; The Creator Brahma, The Preserver Vishmu and the Detroyer Shiva. One could say “three” is a number of balance. In binary code 3 = 11 and one is universally significant to all cultures. In Greek mythology three is also known well for instance many of the mythological creatures indeed had three heads or had multiples of three. There was Cerberus, a dog with three heads and Scylla, which was a vicious sea monster with six heads.
In Chinese culture the number three holds significance too. The Mayans had three calendars that they used. Three is significant in Culture, Religion, Math and art; for instance three primary colors. Gemini is the third astrology sign and it represents many positive attributes. In politics we often speak of the “third way” or an alternate choice or solution, one which makes our minds think for a more fitting answer which is fair for all concerned."

That's a relief. Never really too keen on limiting myself to the judeo christian tag. How the bipolar Geminini can come to represent the Tertiary is beyond me though. One day it will all be revealed.
