No finishing move is declared. And yet, for anyone who has ever been tested by someone who simply was not worth their time, the Mocktown bar scene on the island of Jaya might be the most quietly powerful moment in the entire series.

#DidYouKnow that there are two #NYCsubway stations named after the same street, but with different spellings? Beverley Road on the BMT Brighton Line (today's Q train) is spelled with three e’s and Beverly Road on the IRT Nostrand Avenue Line (today's 2/5 trains) is spelled with two e’s). Why?
