That's how they get you

Name the Network- For the last few I couldn't get, I was gonna cheat and look at the channel guide next to the TV here, but looking at it didn't actually get any answers to spring to mind. For the most part, I didn't need it anyways. I was stuck on Ice Road Truckers, even though the commercial for it shows before the last few movies I've seen in the theater. But since the list is in alphabetic order by the channels, it became obvious what it was, and I was all, duh! But yeah, the last one I needed was Hardball, and I needed to just think what channel would fit in alphabetically.

Exalted talk:
One thing that has been frustrating about MoEP: I is the references to this or that demon. Its like, I'm not up on my Exalted Demonlogy as I am on my D&D Demonology. Its like to figure out the references you need this book or that. I guess this is a book on Infernals, not the demon world of Exalted, just like MoEP:A was about the Abyssals, not the Underworld, and there was a separate book for the latter. I mean, just like the Underworld book isn't necessary to understand the stuff in MoEP:A, you don't need the Malfeas book to understand MoEP:I. But having them does illuminate things. So it is kinda annoying.

The exalted demonology doesn't seem as fully fleshed out as their underworld mythology. I have a 1st edition demonology book that talks about how demons of the nth circle are composed of several demons of the mth circle. The metaphysic is pretty bad

Is there a mathematical formula to it? It seems like when the primordials lost, those of them that survived, as part of the terms of surrender, were "split up" into smaller entities. Third circle demons seem like the equivalent of archdevils or demon lords in D&D, second circle demons seem to be unique upper level demons, and the third circle are the "rank and file" demons.

But yeah the metaphysics of it all is hard to wrap your head around because of the whole being aspects of aspects of aspects. Its like if the avatars of a god had their own distinct personalities and those avatars had their own avatars, with a hierarchy to it all, even though whole groups of these are technically all one being. That and the fact that the primordials were twisted into horrid "things" as well. I mean, Malfeas is the demon city, but he's also a bunch of different demons residing in it?! Its just hard to conceive of what they would be like. But I guess its not a kind of existence that we could conceptualize what it would be like.
