". . . she's not only merely dead, she's really most sincerely dead." I never really doubted it, but I'm glad to have it confirmed.
Aside from that I am going to miss Atlantis, her crew, the Professor and Mary Ann; oh wait.. wrong ship, wrong story. It has been quite a ride, and although I came somewhat late to the story (not quite a year ago) my Tuesday's haven't been the same without news from the far reaches of the globe. Would have been nice to have attended the wedding, perhaps the goatwriter will see fit to incorporate that into some other tale some other time. And while it is clear he has earned a break from writing, I look forward to whatever he has in store for us.
