Technically the card says "be seeing you," which amuses me because it's used as a catchphrase in the brilliant and very British show _The Prisoner_. The reference may or may not be intentional.

More of the same?
You're trending along with the popular consensus in being lukewarm towards the first two of this trio. IMG is generally viewed as one of the lesser-est (least?) episodes of the year. I actually quite enjoyed it my first time, but the flaws have become more apparent in re-watching. But, at least…
