Nobody lives forever
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Unaired final episode: he gets drunk, gets real lucky, and then run over by a bus leaving her apartment.

I gave this show more chances than I should have, but I just deleted the last three episode that I queued on TiVO because I realized I really couldn't care less. Great concept, terrible execution.

If the episode isn't aired, it isn't part of the canon. :P

Absent any evidence to the contrary from TPTB, Amsterdam will be stuck taking photographs of Time Square forever and ever. Meanwhile, he'll have to learn to be far more sophisticated in creating fake identities, in an age when forging birth certificates isn't enough. :twisted:

I guess that means we'll never see the episode in which he takes over for the Naked Cowboy in order to increase his chances of meeting The One.
