Ha! I love it. I was thinking 'almighty', but 'actual' - yes. Yes!
On-topic - I am a very late-comer to the show (a little over two years ago now). I believe that's why I have different feelings about how things played out, having watched the whole series through in a very short time, without almost no 'outside' knowledge at all. I see the end differently than most - and that's cool. I completely respect (and almost do not envy) those who had to go through all the bullshit in real time. I think the wait between seasons alone would have killed me, and I'm sure it would have changed my perspective on things.
One thing's for sure - it's kept us here and talking about it more than five years later! That's in no small part thanks to the writers who have kept the characters alive for us, but it's also thanks to an ending that was definitely left open to interpretation. I fucking LOVE this show - and nobody can ever change that!
