Didn't he address that though?

    There is one other aspect of my politeness that I am reluctant to mention. But I will. I am often consumed with a sense of overwhelming love and empathy. I look at the other person and am overwhelmed with joy. For all of my irony I really do want to know about the process of hanging jewelry from celebrities. What does the jewelry feel like in your hand? What do the celebrities feel like in your hand? Which one is more smooth?

If you murder someone, and then save seven drowning children, your overall impact on the world can be argued to be positive, but you still deserve to be jailed for the previous murder. That's what the author is saying.

The fate of Terriers was up in the air when they wrote the finale, and I believe the show had a lot more left in the tank. But at the same time I'm grateful they managed to handle it as gracefully as they did -- the ending didn't leave me feeling unsatisfied personally, even though it could have easily been continued. Still, it deserved so much more than a single season!
