the deep meaning of milk and honey

The writers obviously have a deep understanding of the Hebrew and Eygptian religion ties with Milk, Honey, Water, "real estate" (i.e. the promised land that Hebrews considered Canaan to be), fertility, and so on in order to integrate these meanings in order to unravel the mysteries of the plot.

Read this article (keep in mind that this is is one group's interpretation of "land of milk and honey" within the Hebrew and Egyptian religions and the readers of this post can disagree with that interpretation)-

I thought milk and honey was Vegas. Perhaps I listen to too much Steely Dan. But now that I think about it, Do It Again might be a pretty good theme song for the show.

Now you swear and kick and beg us
That you're not a gamblin' man
Then you find you're back in Vegas
With a handle in your hand
Your black cards can make you money
So you hide them when you're able
In the land of milk and honey
You must put them on the table
