Damn, I miss you guys, I have had a busy period.
I loved the ending. I like the way Simon finished his story
For all of our speculation about who was going to die by the end of the show, there was relatively little blood spilled. And even knowing the substance of the show, knowing [...]

Deep Background on Mr. Boston, Please.
I have not seen this connection written about elsewhere, so here are some tasty bits for trivia obsessed NuPakers.
