So what are everybody's expectations a month before they give us some rope? I feel it would be hypocritical of me to not trust my preconceived notions and be on board with D.Harmon until proven otherwise. So I'm cautiously optimistically on board.

But it is touching that after 4 years of being neglected and jerked around by NBC, these two old gunslingers will ride together one last time. They are still all they've got. As they have been all along. (Pours one out for Glover and Rashida and Rob.)
