gets a load of cash to be set for life and just has
to release a book once a decade where everyone
gets brutally murdered. However, ruminating upon

Independent of ever knowing when the end was going to be, we knew what it was going to be, and we wanted to start setting it up as early as season 1, or else people would think that we were making it up as we were going along.
