No, this isn’t one of those, “and it was awesome” post. It is one of those, “I thought I finished it seven years ago” post.

So, I’m sitting in my living room all cozy and whatnot due to the relinquishing of the ambient temperature during the season Winter, henceforth known as coldy-time. It being Sunday; me having completed my usual Sunday jog. I was settling into a nice morning of watching television. It occurred to me that I had plenty of time to finish the Last Exile re-watch project that I had started several days prior.

Sometime during the re-watching of Last Exile, it occurred to me that I was not quite recalling the events of said series. As the episodes progressed, I found that I was recalling less and less about the story. Until the point that I could not foretell anything that was going to occur in the final episodes leading to the climax of the story. This troubled me.

By story’s end, I had come to the complete realization that I had never fully watched the show. My re-watch project was a re-watch not. It was a watch project; yet, I was unaware until the very end.

Who knows how many more years I would have gone without knowing this, if not for the happenstance of wanting to watch it again.

Also, Al’s hair thingies are awesome.
