SERIOUSLY MIKE

Haha yes same vagueness

I started the day rewatching S4e9 which was apparently TWO HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES LONG (on 1.5 speed) just to realize I remembered basically nothing lol. So was glad for the recap and enjoyed these first eps of S5 a lot

I remember exactly where I was when I heard Rabin was shot, and when, the next morning, I learned he didn't survive, and how school was that day (fifth grade). I'm curious what the experience was like (if memorable at all) for anyone who wasn't a local, if you care to share!
