Yeah, I know, we're talking about next year. But it takes quite a bit of time to dig through all the episodes all at once, I thought maybe I'd just try to stay on top of it and keep a thread updated instead of starting it all in December. So, ignore this one mostly for now and think about it next year if you like.
