In six seasons, you've managed to span both time and space, and I don't think I'm alone in saying that I never saw what was around the corner. Now that it's all coming to an end, it's impressive to see how much was planned out in advance and how neatly you've wrapped up everything. You've created something really special. I'm sad that the series is ending, but I look forward to seeing what you two are going to do next.

Um, yeah, George - it was a total secret that you hadn't planned it all out in advance, ever since you oh-so-cleverly had the plot in Empire Strikes Back contradict major story points in Star Wars. Sure looked like a plan to me.
