Excuse me, Simon, but I don't think you're taking this seriously.

A sequel with rabbits, that makes sense. But at least they need some soil to dig in, right?
Maybe a prequel?

If we are to believe Battlestar Galactica then it's all cyclical and there will be other planets out there that God has provided for mankind of sodomise....and Rabbits

...by the way. Well done Thomas. I can't think of anything that Act-I-VATE has produced that is as uncompromising as 'The End is Here', congratulations on having stuck to your guns and done something truly unique.

Thanx, Simon. Never surrender. And I learned a lot on the way.

Is this the end? There's got to be a denouement, right?

No, the end has an epilogue, coming next week. I don't know about a denouement (?). Maybe we should talk about that?

Very ingenious. I love the juxtaposition of man and nature. Man is the "thing under the bed". We never see him, but he haunts just around the corner, just out of site. Life continues, unabated, with the boogyman seen just in the corner of our eye.
Bloody brilliant!

What could the denouement possibly be George?
Nice nuclear explosions there Thomas. Well done!

At the end there, when you said "Boom." Was that really a clever way of saying, "The End"?

I guess not. Actually, it isn't the end. The real end will come with the last two pages next week. I will not say it will be more clever next week, but I hope so a bit. Just a little.
Thanx for reading anyway!

Wonderful statement--we're sorry for the penguins, but who cares about man? He's got it coming to him. He's the one with the bombs.

That's the spell of democracy, right? We both never built bombs nor shoot with guns, but we're part of it, right? Damned.
Thanx so much, Jennifer.

Bloody hell. We had it coming didn't we?
Well done. You never shirked from the truth of what we do from the beginning and carried it through to The End.
...but this can't be the end can it? Say it ain't so!

It ain't so, you're right. There will be an epilogue next week. But I'm not sure if this will change a lot. Thanx, Paul!

I'm still not clear who was launching so many nukes at penguins and why. Wouldn't they be better used making sure the enemy's blown up 16 times instead of just 15?
P.S. Is that supposed to be the Earth literally exploding, 'cos nukes aren't that powerful. They'd just leave Earth a dead and shattered husk (which is much better!).

You're probably right: Nuke them as much often than possible. And who wanna shout at penguins? But maybe some of the nukes lost their way, with all that other nukes flying around, exploding everywhere in the civilisation. Or they were just to target stations like McMurdo in Antarctica to make it sure? Who knows? I thought it would be irrevelant to my story.
Maybe you're right and we will not blow the whole planet. But it makes a nice effect. Don't you think? And of course: I'm always totally serious!!!!
THANKS FOR DIGGING THIS!

No chance of a sequel?
Rabbits maybe?
