42 episodes down, four more to go…we’re at the end now, friends. Staring at the sea of time, the sea of memory and forgetfulness, waiting for what happens to everything to happen to us too: An ending.
And so it’s endings we’re thinking about today, for the show, for the movie, for the American fate we’re all held hostage too... Jeez, remember when we used to have fun on this thing?
