Through a great deal of it, absolutely. Even Windom seemed much more
sinister than before after the revelation that maybe he ISN'T just after
Coop, or maybe isn't even after Coop at all...

Startled the hell out of me, that one. As soon as Cooper said it, I and
everyone else naturally said "oh, bad choice of words there...", but then
when the Giant suddenly appeared, seeming about as frantic as he can get...
brr. (And of course, Coop's shown that he's not very good at figuring out
what the Giant means before...this is not a good sign for Ms. Blackburne.
Pity.)

I wasn't sure at all where the hell he was going to show up.

Perhaps--I think he's made it through to TP proper as well. This is a very
good definition of a BAD thing. This is probably also a good time to make
quick travel plans out of said town...:-)

I don't know--but did you notice that we _also_ heard the "shakes" music when
Ben was startled by whatever startled him?

Me too, I think. Certainly had the most engrossing ending in a long, LONG
time. I don't remember having quite this sense of anticipation, of "oh, shit,
what the hell is going on, and what do we do about it" since 11/3 and "The
Great Northern Hotel!!" (Granted, though, some of that may be due to the fact
that I knew this was the last one for a long time.)

Agreed. I don't wanna wait two more months...
