Well, I for one have had enough of reading about horses, wood puns,
ads, Neilsons, etc., etc.

How about a questions as to the show (remember it?).

I noticed something upon re-viewing 2011 (or somewhere around there.)
It was the one after the Major disappears.  Coop gets in a discussion
about the Major, and the subject of the White Lodge comes up, upon
which Hawk shudders.  He explains the White Lodge (the house of the
perfect self, or something or other), and then the Black Lodge (the
house of the shadow self; here one must pass to get to the White Lodge,
but must face, with absolute courage, his shadow self).  Please correct
me if my poor memory slants the interpretation.  Anyway, upon hearing
this I thought (of course) of the last thing the Major said (2013/4 ?),
"Meanwhile, Gentlemen, I'll be in the Shadows."

What is the Major up to?  Is he attempting to pass through the Black
Lodge?  He mentioned his dissappointment with his co-workers, citing their
lack of integrity.  Maybe he wants to conquer this, or just experience it.

Hey, this may have been mentioned already.  I know I've passed many
a article in my attempt to avoid the above mentioned tangents.  If I
also passed up this, discussed previously, tell me to shut up, and I'll do my
own theorizing.  Otherwise, I'd be interested to know what y'all think.
