It's going to take me a year to get over being reminded of that particular disappointment. Why isn't it 1983 or 1984 anyway? That raises a lot of other issues BTW.

This was such a great series. Fed on all the Soviet paranoia. Resist at all costs.

No, no, Schnellfuer, the ending was bloody awesome. I won't remind you but it was a shock and a realistic one at that.
