    - Yep, and it's episodes like that one that keep me coming back to the show. (spoils) - Jim Jan 26, 06:59
  - agree - the finale wasn't announced as such - it felt rushed..?? the music was pivotal. Just like most seasons 50% of it worked - Epiphany Jan 26, 06:56 6

  - I couldn't go to the opera in casual clothing. I hate being under-dressed. Jacket and tie at the least if I can't wear a suit. - Krusty Jan 26, 06:55 2
    - you are a gentleman. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 26, 06:57 1
      - I have felt embarrassed showing up under-dressed and it ruins the night for me. I feel awkward and out of place so I don't enjoy myself. - Krusty Jan 26, 07:00

    - What I gather from the blog is that half the audience looks absolutely ridiculous. -- (link) - Ender Jan 26, 06:49 3
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I expect that blog is the outliers and you and the other suit-laden types will be the norm. -- nm - ty97 Jan 26, 06:52
