Come on guys...

Have you ever gone through a several courses meal only to get to the dessert? You just sit there eating your food, but all you’re really expecting is that nice Tiramisu coming at the end… It happens also when watching movies or reading books… You just glide along with the story, which is good enough to keep you interested but is nothing comparable to the final moments that make you go "Oh sh!t… Never saw it coming!"

I’ve experienced that at several occasions… I think the very first time must have been when watching the end of Pulp Fiction, when I finally got to put all the small bits together, and always will think Tarantino was brilliant…

I’ve also experienced that feeling when reading Watchmen and a couple of Batman stories as well, and to tell the truth, I was expecting the same thing when reading the 10th and last Y the last man’s trade paperback. While it sure was entertaining, I kind of was left hanging there revelation-wise… I thought I was going to get that big one that explained everything that happened in the previous 49 issues I had read but I did not. I thought there was going to be something that would have thrown me off balance and go “Those guys really played me all along!” but instead I got more of a “So they DID leave that unexplained…”. It’s like several parties claim they made it happen, but in the end, it’s still left up to you to decide… So yeah, I still do not know why all the men on Earth got wiped… *sigh*
