Several times you've said something to suggest that by the end of this
season, we'll have the answers to most of our questions.  Will we know
what inspired Larry to say this by then?  Do we already know it by
NOW?

(I know better than to try to probe for what it actually was.  Just
around when we're going to know, is all I dare ask for.  :)

We apologize for the wanton use of the phrase "Fuck the CDA!" in this sig.

What Larry was responding to was the totality of the storyline, not so
much any one particular item.  If you stop for a moment and look back at
just how *much* has been covered just in these first two-and-a-half aired
seasons, you realize how far the story has come.  It's the whole of that
tapestry that is kinda boggling sometimes.
