So, the series builds up to an impossible finale that -somehow- a half hour episode is supposed to solve...
S and I have the candy, the soda, we even have the adult swim message board on. People are posting '10 minutes to go!' '5 minutes to go'! We're all waiting to see episode 26 of the series...
...Only to have adult swim show a repeat of episode 22 accidentally. No explanation, no defense, nothing.
To make up for the error, AS promised to show ep 26 the next week, and devoted the entire thursday 'viewer mail' to the death threats they'd received.
So, the next week comes, and...Episode 22 appears again...And then stops.
"We were just messing with you" "We had to do it".
