I can see them faking Mr. Peanutbutter's death, that guy falls upwards like nobody's business and probably could cheat certain death.

That Ellsworth Toohey seems pretty freaked out.

Only if they dovetail perfectly by the end without jumping around the timeline then sure, I'd watch that.

Me and Sheltie will be waiting for our fix.
