I disagree the best episode of the series was "Jaynesville" I was laughing
my ass off the entire time.
The Final War is kinda like that as well in that you can be a big fish
kinda as everything falls apart.
I did not like TNE at first but now it is setting wise my favorite 1200 and
1248 is great. GURPS setting is cool as well.
