I definitely thought even before Chase confirmed it that everything pointed toward death, but I do think the other interpretation - that Tony is doomed no matter what happens at that moment, that he’ll spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder - also works well thematically.

“Tony’s ultimate fate, whatever happened there...”

I never really understood how it was controversial to believe Tony died. The entire final season is suffused with death in both plot and imagery.

I have not and will never go back to regular paper towels regardless of brand, as they are all vastly inferior. The only drawback is that people who do not know the majesty tend to grab a…

I’ll be deep in the cold, cold ground before I recognize Missourah!
