Monster – episode 73
February 1, 2006 on 9:26 pm | In Monster | 5 Comments“The Landscape of the End”
Monster is about to come full circle. A deceptively quiet episode of monochromatic proportions. You do not get to choose how you will die; Johan will choose how you die, and when.
You bet there are spoilers!

Spoilers ahead for the foreseeable future!

Monster mania
February 1, 2006 on 9:59 am | In Monster | Comments Off on Monster maniaFor months I have been labouring under the impression that Monster is a 78 episode series. Turns out it’s 74 episodes, and that I now hold the ending on my hard drive. It sounds weird to say it, but I’m sick with excitement.
Please note that I am retroactively editing all of my Monster articles to reflect the accurate number. Also, to fight off my normal update OCD, after my Snow Queen post there will be five solid posts of Monster!
