How wonderful it is to see how far this show has come.  Imagine if these events were taking place circa season 2.  No doubt the Ricks' phone would be dragged out over two or three episodes, dragging out what we already know.  I'm very much liking the pacing this season.

Gonna make me wait with baited breath eh?  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed!  My film was a real labor of love, and it'd be a thrill to see it get a nice audience reception!

Here's hoping that now the series is over, all three of its principle stars will begin a slow slide from a-list to b-list to c-list to comeback to prescription drugs addict to tell all memoir writer and finally…dancing with the stars contestant.
