For the first time since starting to read this story, I have felt that it truely deserved the Trainwreck rating.
It seemed that every time you were lost for something to insert for comic relief, you inserted something random from pop culture. The results were at times incredibly jarring to read.
At this point I feel obligated to beg of you; If you are indeed running out of plot or ideas, to please please end this cleanly. This has been far too good a story and far too orignal an idea to let it end in disaster.
