After reading the article, I'm sure I would've found it hilarious if I'd actually watched the whole season or read the fivers. And it'll probably be another nine years before I do.

Sato: There were a couple of Season 2 fivers that suggested it was on the back burner. So I was ready, even if it didn't make a ton of sense to me. Why would my character settle for a non-entity like Travis?

Reporter: Some would argue that Sato is, at best, marginally an entity.
Dis got me good. Immaculate joke construction.

I was pleased very much to remember why Archer's arm hurts so much, and the Hoshi/Travis subplot.

I was equally pleased not to remember (before suddenly remembering) that Samus Aran played a major role in this season.

Slightly ashamed to confess that Phlox's insane claims about a unicode credit got me to actually open the speaker credit in Inspector to see if it was true. (It is not. Billable hours... what a lying scumbag.)

Incredible that this was all written in 20X5. It's not too late for us to get S4 in 20X6!

Yes! I knew someone would check the Unicode thing.

Btw, I forgot to mention in the newspost that there's a footnote giving the details of the "weird order" Season 3 was published in. Look for an asterisk and float your cursor over it. This style of annotation is something I'm planning to make more use of in the future.

Very funny as always.

Zeke: Ah. Well, it feels good to be done. This is the fourth full season of fivers I've written so far --

Reporter: You know you're the only one who counts VVS8, right?
Poor Zeke.

That's a sharp-looking hover annotation. Web 2.0 isn't completely useless.
