The close of The Walking Dead season two brings this to mind.

From Shonen Knife's 1993 album, Let's Knife.

The doctors said that after heart surgery, I might react to things more emotionally than before. For the most part, that hasn't been true.

However, there's a song by Portugal. The Man that may be the greatest song ever recorded (at least for today): "People Say" from their wonderful and flowing 2009 album The Satanic Satanist, the line "all the soldiers say it'll be alright, we can make it through the war if we make it through the night" hits me a strange and powerful way.

I can't help thinking about the denial of hopelessness conveyed by it. I tear up a little bit. Part of that is because I am reminded of the last scene from Black Adder Goes Fourth, and that I am a sap.

So at least one of my predictions was true.

I had previously predicted that BSG would end either with (highlight to read spoilers) the entire fleet getting destroyed, or it would set up the spin-off in which Sam Galactica makes the entire galaxy his pyramid court.

Of course, I had also at one point declared that everyone but Ellen was a Cylon.
