So many great memories from this season.  I've included some insights from Trip Down Memory Lane series to accompany each episode's concept art.... Small Victories... I remember sitting in Brad’s office when we first came to Vancouver and having Brad ask Robert how he planned to conclude the season three finale, Nemesis.  Well, Rob knew…

Thanks to Dr. Blackjack (and Drea!) for the reminder!  And Akemi for the content. Croccantini... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUcLuq6E01g Fresh grape juice... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsMrJyAc_qs $120 seaweed... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul1GXWd65cU
