Last night, I watched the last two episodes for the second time (Bring 'em Back Alive and Funeralia) - which I don't always do this season, so that says something - and I'm not sure I'm any closer to feeling anything conclusive about this big ol' S13 ( Read more... )

I suspect most of my flist has seen this cross their dash by now, and I'm jumping on board! I'm offering art to help out cillab42 o'er HERE! (I see someone has already found me, hee!)
