The little aside about the bartender is still my favorite part of this-- the "secret superstuff" the drunks would offer to tell for money, and the people getting up on the bar and trying to fly. In his world, you know they actually would!
I loved the whole idea of characters getting termination notifications because of reboots, and the notes about demographic appeal. That is happening all over popular culture these days, and where is the loyalty? A guy spends years putting on ridiculous spandex for you, and then one day you decide he's all dried up and worthless just because of a little sagging or a few gray hairs?
I like that Lightning has written this form letter of fake remorse, and we know that will be HIS future someday too. Poetic justice. :D
