Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence

Right now I keep flip flopping between is he guilty or innocent? Would it a be a better story if he was guilty or innocent? The way I see it, if he's innocent then Part 2 was insignificant and Part 3 to a lesser extant. The entire point of Part 2 was meet Truck and Fals, get a pie from Mrs. McGilli...

Re: 2019/12/20 - The Joke Is Violence

That is even more of a slap that we lied to ourselves. Because there was never any real significant clues or evidence that pointed to Steward. Steward as a character has never been important beyond a glorified accountant for the Miltons. Except, you know, the evil silhouette . The mystery, I think,...
