At least the first third, which is what this season encompasses.<br /><br />What I'm saying is, if you want a plot, you're probably going to have to wait quite some time. My main issue with the book itself was that I thought it would have made an excellent book of thematically connected stories, but didn't make much of a novel on its own. The 'plot' (what little there is) doesn't kick in until the last act, and even then it's resolved with pretty much a shrug and everyone going about their business. <br /><br />The best way to enjoy this show, if it is going to follow that pattern, is to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Don't think of an end goal, just enjoy the moment. Or at least learn to accept disappointment, if a full plot is what you seek.Literate Deadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00857084555580377043noreply@blogger.com
