battle on battle on tragedy on battle.
Yeah. The butterfly had me ready to pull wings off a ... well, you
know. Frickin' butterfly.
And I didn't even come close to seeing the twist at the end coming.
Now, I'm going to have to watch it again to see if there are clues I
missed, or if it's one of those annoying unforshadowed twists that bug me.
As far as a series goes....
I could use some new TV in my life. :-)
