The event had been a fairly cheap entry fee, which should have been a bit of a hint towards the general rarity of the products being sold. But still, Gaines had hoped for at least something more unique than stall after stall of stickers and art prints. Though they'd picked up a few pieces to decorate their hive, none of these items being sold were things to be resold at the shop.

Well... at least she'd managed to pass along a few business cards and collect some contact information from a few others who mentioned more eclectic personal collections.

They were rather immersed in scouring the selection of wet samples one vendor had and didn't notice someone had moved up beside her until she'd ran into them hard enough to drop the jar in her hands.

I was surprised that they actually killed Gaines off in the end but love that they did it (and not just because Gaines was a horrible person).

It goes back to the thing I won’t shut up about which is that the ending is absolutely perfect for a show that isn’t guaranteed to get another season but wants to leave possibilities open in the event that they actually do.

Like Gaines dying doesn’t mean all the conflict and issues he created are necessarily gone, there’s a million ways conflict can still be presented in a second season. But his death does leave the watcher with a sense of satisfaction. The feeling of an arc ending. I think it was the perfect choice.

"D&TSL surprise"

GTW train #410 has departed Durand, Michigan mid afternoon, enroute to Toledo, Ohio with 1/2 the Detroit & Toledo Shore Line roster of GP7's up front. The train is seen here on the curve just south of Gaines, this a wonderful surprise from the usual assigned pair of GTW SD40's - April - 1976.
