Random Memorial for Monday 7/18/16

Gone but not forgotten:  Vicious.

Our PBS ondemand tricked us!  It said "watch season 3, episode 1 *tonight* before it expires", so we did.  And only near the end, when the tone of the episode shifted, did we start to think that maybe this wasn't the first episode of a new season after all.

And once it ended (emphasis on the word "ended"), only then did we check the wiki to discover that this was a special wrap up episode and a series finale.  [By the way -- as a television addict, I do wish that US networks did that with more of their series.  It shows a certain respect for the fans to allow story lines to wrap up and to provide endings to all characters.]

Maybe it was all those Xmen movies I've been watching that made veiwing it more emotional to me, or maybe it was all about seeing the show as a cautionary tale of the future, but for just as much and maybe a little bit more than that which was seen in Ash and Freddy's final embrace, Vicious will most definitely be missed.
